Abstract [eng] |
The aim of the dissertation was to analyse the possibility of converting wind energy into thermal energy and applying it to satisfy the demand of thermal energy in energy-efficient buildings which convert mechanical wind energy into thermal energy by using a hydraulic device. Few tasks were realised during the research, such as analysing the dynamics of annual wind energy potential in a few typical districts according to wind energy in Lithuania and its correspondence to the demand of thermal energy for the building, determining the working curves of a hydraulic device by simulating the wind effect experimentally with an electric motor. Also the analysis of possibilities of automatic control of the hydraulic system was made and an algorithm, according to which the wind energy converted to thermal energy can be integrated into the building heating system, was created. |
