关于弗农山太阳能住宅的讨论非常适合本次控制研讨会的目的。这是及时的，因为我们已经能够观察到1976-77供暖季节的运行情况，因此，1977-78供暖季节的控制措施已经修改。一个修改计划的启动使得有必要考虑控制系统的目标——然而，它们可能受到成本或现有物理考虑的限制。太阳能系统的明显和一般目标是最大限度地利用太阳能、最佳地利用太阳能、最低限度地消耗化石能源、避免系统损失和合理的空间舒适度。 系统和组件相关的目标是:（1）优化波束辐射；（2） 避免冻结或停滞；（3） 储存或排出多余热量的规定；（4） 停电系统保护；（5） 控制低能量水平的使用；（6） 最大限度地减少公共能源投入；（7） 自动化；（8）简单性、可靠性和可维护性。引文:新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基市阿什雷学报第84卷第2部分

A discussion of our Vernon Hills solar homes is well suited to the purpose of this control symposium. It is timely since we have been able to observe operations through the 1976-77 heating season and, as a consequence, the controls have beem modified for the 1977-78 season.The initiation of a plan for modification made it necessary to consider the objectives of control systems -- however they might be constrained by cost or existing physical considerations.The obvious and general objectives of a solar system are the maximization of solar harvest, optimum utilization of the harvested energy, a minimum of fossil energy consumption, avoidance of system losses and reasonable space comfort. The systeming and component dependent objectives are: (1) the optimization of beam radiation; (2) avoidness of freeze or stagnation; (3) provisions for excess heat storage or rejection; (4) power failure system protection; (5) control to enhance the use of low energy levels; (6) maximum reduction of utility energy inputs; (7) automation; and (8) simplicity, reliability and maintainability.
