Research on the design of prefabricated curved structure production capacity residential energy system: a case study of an entry of 2022 China International Solar Decathlon Competition- 'Solar Ark 3.0'

Abstract Under the severe situation of global warming, the problem of high energy consumption and carbon emissions in the construction industry need to be addressed urgently, and the method to promote the development of the construction industry in the direction of low-carbon sustainability has become a problem to be solved. Taking ‘Solar Ark 3.0’, the entry of Southeast University United Team in the Third China International Solar Decathlon Competition (SDC2022), as an example. This study proposes the wind and solar complementary capacity design, multi-mode energy storage design, intelligent energy use design and production, storage and use of multi-energy complementary intelligent energy management methods through the exploration of the integrated design and construction of curved structure housing and energy system. These designs of ‘Solar Ark 3.0’ improve the utilization efficiency of renewable energy in buildings and also provide methods for the integrated design of curved structural housing and energy systems.
