Research on Suitability of Solar Energy Utilization in Public Institutions Across the Country

This paper studies the suitability of solar energy utilization in public institutions across the country. The energy consumption of typical building is simulated by DeST, and the energy consumption per unit area of three public institutions in 32 provincial capitals and major cities nationwide are obtained. The energy consumption data is combined with the resources, climate, and economic data obtained from the survey. Principal component analysis and fuzzy cluster analysis are used successively. The MATLAB programming simulation is used to divide the country into ten regions of different appropriate degrees. Forming a map of suitability for solar energy utilization in four different types of public institutions and developing suitability software for solar energy utilization in public institutions across the country as a renewable and clean energy source, solar energy is of great significance to China’s economic development and environmental protection. This research provides a theoretical basis for the rational use of solar energy in public institutions across the country.
