Seasonal solar thermal energy storage shows great promise to bridge the gap between solar heating availability and solar heating demand. This thesis investigated a hybrid seasonal solar thermal energy sand-bed storage system experimentally and numerically, and compared the results for further refinement of numerical simulations. The Purpose of the evaluation was to determine the feasibility of hybrid seasonal solar thermal energy sand-bed storage for residential heating. A home with evacuated tube solar thermal collectors which were connected to a hybrid seasonal solar thermal energy sand-bed storage system was built in Palmer, Alaska. Sensors were installed in the sand-bed and solar collector array to monitor system temperatures which were then compared against a numerical simulation. TRNSYS was used to complete the numerical simulation portion of this thesis.

520 $a Seasonal solar thermal energy storage shows great promise to bridge the gap between solar heating availability and solar heating demand. This thesis investigated a hybrid seasonal solar thermal energy sand-bed storage system experimentally and numerically, and compared the results for further refinement of numerical simulations. The Purpose of the evaluation was to determine the feasibility of hybrid seasonal solar thermal energy sand-bed storage for residential heating. A home with evacuated tube solar thermal collectors which were connected to a hybrid seasonal solar thermal energy sand-bed storage system was built in Palmer, Alaska. Sensors were installed in the sand-bed and solar collector array to monitor system temperatures which were then compared against a numerical simulation. TRNSYS was used to complete the numerical simulation portion of this thesis.
520 $a Collected data was compared to a TRNSYS model to fine tune model parameters for a seasonal system simulation. The measured average sand-bed temperature was 8.1°C compared to the simulated average temperature of 8.5°C. The measured maximum and minimum temperatures were 21°C and --7.8°C while the simulation maximum and minimum temperatures were 17.8°C and --7.5°C.
520 $a Results showed close agreement of the TRNSYS simulation to measured values. However, this particular style of hybrid solar thermal system needed controls to significantly impact the home's heat load and is most useful for heating a normally unoccupied space or as a solar thermal load shed. Active solar thermal storage systems are recommended to supplement a home's living space heat load.
