Abstract

Global heating and environmental protection are the main reasons for expanding the use of solar heat in domestic and industrial facilities. The other benefit from this renewable energy source is getting free heat energy. It is quite interesting for industrial processes, but there are some general problems that should be solved, like its periodicity, weather conditions as well as production system heat demands. In this paper was analysed possibilities for scheduling of batches with heat supply from solar heating system. That was done for independent batches that are working on independent lines. They can work at any time of the day independently from each other and as parallel processes. The main problem in scheduling is limited supply of solar heat. By using the data for solar irradiation in the city of Bitola (the place used for calculations) was explained the suggested scheduling procedure and created the schedule of batches dependent to insolation.
