Designing an Adaptive Software and Hardware Complex for Converting Solar Energy

The concept of a software and hardware system of converting solar electromagnetic radiation in areas of low temperatures and medium-high insolation levels into thermal and electrical energy is presented in the paper.The design of the system's project is based on the principle of modularity, which allows for the tasks of the consumer, and in the conditions of environmental constraints, to form an optimal subsystem configuration in terms of efficiency and expenses. The optimization criteria are based on the results of the climatic and geographical features analysis of the territories of potential consumers, as well as the experience and practices of introducing analogues of the proposed systems.The multi-criteria assessment performing to substantiate the functionality rationale and composition of the developed software and hardware system is implemented through an intelligent decision support system. Operational management of a configurable software and hardware system is proposed to be implemented through neuro-fuzzy control.
