Abstract: The article focuses on existing technologies developed to harvest and store solar irradiance as a source of primary energy in district heating systems. In the study particular attention was given to solar collector systems cooperating with seasonal heat storage solutions. Motivating this work was the search for a tool to assess achievable solar fraction ‒ the ratio of usable solar energy to total energy consumption. The outcomes of this work are: (i) a simplified dynamic model facilitating evaluation of the proposed solutions, and (ii) selection of optimal operating parameters of the proposed system.
