What is Techno-economic Design of a Solar Combisystem in a Residential Building about?

A solar combisystem is utilized to supply domestic hot water (DHW) and heat a residential building. This system decreases the fossil fuel consumption and, hence, reduces air pollution and global warming. This paper proposes an innovative method to design and optimize a suitable solar combisystem for a residential building with respect to technical and economic parameters. First, different configurations of solar combisystems, including various components, are considered. Then, the optimum design variables are determined for each configuration using Grouped Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II). Total Solar Fraction (TSF) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) are considered as objective functions. Finally, the optimum design is chosen for the solar combisystem. Typically, researchers have focused on evaluating the performance of a single solar combisystem configuration in each study. However, this research takes a different approach by optimizing multiple configurations, resulting in a significant improvement in the total solar fraction by 7.3%. This is the main novelty of this paper. Based on the results,
