Abstract

The increasing number of large-scale solar thermal systems and the oftentimes required guarantee for the solar gains have created a demand for ’intelligent’ automated monitoring that includes data logging as well as data analysis, failure detection and failure identification. This paper presents the development of a modular framework for the description of large-scale solar thermal systems as a basis for an automated
monitoring and failure detection software within a R&D project called 'IP-Solar'. The diversity of solar thermal system configurations has been investigated in a market analysis to evaluate their different characteristics that are crucial for a monitoring system. In the analysis, solar thermal systems in Central Europe with more than 80 m2 of collector surface have been considered. The market analysis, the development of the modular framework design and the specification procedure are presented within this paper
