If the solar energy completely turns into soil thermal storage, solar radiation energy in 10 days is equivalent to the heat release from soil in this system. But this assumption is not realistic, because not only solar energy utilization efficiency but also the dissipated heat and possible extreme weather are not considered.
Section snippets Heating demonstration system As shown in Fig. 1(a), a greenhouse heating demonstration system is constructed, which is in Hebei Province, China (N 39 15 ′ 1.09 ″, E 116 42 ′ 58.12 ″). This glass greenhouse is used for …
Soil heat storage is a very important thermal energy storage technique and generally used in solar seasonal heat storage systems [5, 6].
