Spatial Heating Monthly Degree-Day Features and ClimatologicPatterns in Turkey

Summary  Degree-days as a measure of accumulated temperature deviations from a base temperature have many practical applications in various human related activities such as home cooling, heating, plant growth in agriculture and power generation in addition to energy requirement. Long temperature records are necessary for their reliable estimations at given stations. In this paper, degree-day measure has been applied to monthly temperature records for systematically changed base temperature values from − 25 °C to + 35 °C with 5 °C increments at 255 meteorology stations in Turkey. The results are represented in the form of spatial degree-day distribution maps, which are then related to various climatic, meteorological and topographic features of Turkey. For instance, free surface water bodies in forms of surrounding seas, lakes and rivers insert retardation in the expansion of heating degree-days over large regions. On the other hand, cold air penetration from polar regions in the northeastern Turkey originating from Siberia appears at moderate base temperature heating degree-days.

Variations and Trends in Turkish Seasonal Heating and Cooling Degree-Days

The potential effect of climate change on energy demand is important especially for the developing and non-oil-producing countries. Cooling and heating degree-day (CDD and HDD) concepts are among the most significant meteorological variables related to residential energy consumption. This paper presents the spatial and temporal characteristics of Turkish seasonal CDD and HDD in the context of climate change. CDD and HDD are defined objectively by truncation of the temperature series at any constant base temperature level. This leads to surpluses and deficits as deviations. The surpluses are instances for cooling and the deficits for heating. Depending on temperature fluctuations, the degree-day statistics at any location show local and seasonal variations. In this study, regional variations of seasonal HDD and CDD are mapped for Turkey and their relations to local topography and climatic features are examined with conclusive interpretations. The sequential version of Mann–Kendall rank statisticis applied to demonstrate any existence of possible non-linear trends in accumulated HDD and CDD over the seasons. Spatially coherent and statistically significant trends of HDD and CDD appear in some regions of Turkey. In general, the sign of the trends is inconsistent with General Circulation Models (GCM) predictions.     

华东地区气温变化对居住建筑能源消耗的影响研究

利用采暖/制冷度日分析建筑能耗变化的适用性评估

采暖/制冷度日与建筑能耗有显著线性关系,被认为是最简单可靠的衡量能源需求的指标,但其适用性还缺乏全面的评估。通过模拟1961-2009年天津市办公、商场以及不同节能水平的居住建筑能耗,分析了能耗与采暖/制冷度日的关系,确定其反映能耗变化的适用性。结果表明：采暖期办公及商场建筑的热负荷与采暖度日的相关性达到极显著水平（P<0.01）,决定系数（R2）分别为0.99和0.97;制冷期冷负荷与制冷度日的关系尽管也达到极显著水平,但决定系数仅分别为0.64和0.55;不同节能水平居住建筑热负荷与采暖度日极显著相关,决定系数均在0.99以上。研究认为：采暖度日可以反映办公、商场及居住建筑的热负荷特征,用于分析气候变化对能耗的影响是可行的;但制冷度日不能完全反映办公及商场建筑冷负荷的变化,仅可分别解释冷负荷变化的64%和55%,单纯用制冷度日研究能耗变化是不够全面的。通过分析能耗与气候要素的关系发现,冬季采暖期能耗主要受气温的影响,而夏季制冷能耗受气温和湿度的共同影响。     

气候变化对江苏省采暖和降温耗能的影响

利用江苏省气象观测站1961—2012年逐日平均气温资料,分析了江苏省采暖度日和降温度日的时空变化特征,探讨了气候变化对江苏省采暖耗能和降温耗能方面的影响。结果表明,近52 a全省采暖度日以淮北大部分地区以及盐城北部地区最多,苏南地区最少;空间变化趋势均为明显减少,且以苏南中部和江淮南部大部分地区减少趋势最为明显。而降温度日以苏南地区最多,淮北东北部和盐城北部地区最少;空间变化趋势以苏南和江淮南部地区呈增加趋势,其他地区变化趋势并不显著。近12 a来采暖度日减少了9.8%。降温度日增加了29.9%。2001—2012年采暖期日数为近52 a来最短,降温期日数为近52 a来最长。气温变率与采暖度日变率呈很好的负相关,与降温度日变率呈正相关,二者均通过了信度0.001的显著性检验。     

北京地区热度日和冷度日的变化特征

应用1951—2004年北京逐日平均温度制作北京月、年的热度日 (HDD) 和冷度日 (CDD)。其中平均月HDD以1月 (687.9度日) 最大, 多年平均的年值为2922.6度日, 多年变化呈明显的下降趋势, 下降率为-99.5度日/10 a。平均月CDD以7月 (259.2度日) 最大。CDD多年平均的年值为826.7度日, 多年变化呈上升趋势, 上升率为39.0度日/10 a。1971—2004年HDD月城郊差值 (北京站-密云站) 冬季较大, 最大值为-73.8度日 (12月)。月CDD的城郊差值比HDD的差值小, 最大差值在8月 (34.0度日)。年HDD和CDD与年平均气温具有较高的相关性。年际、年代际HDD与年际、年代际平均气温具有反位相变化趋势, 随着气候增暖, 北京地区HDD将趋于减小, 冬季用于供暖的能源将减少; CDD将趋于增加, 夏季用于制冷降温的能源将增加。     

呼和浩特市热度日和冷度日变化特征

利用1952—2006年呼和浩特市逐日平均温度统计了热度日(HDD)和冷度日(CDD)变化特征。表明,呼和浩特市HDD以1月最大(918度日),多年年均值为4527度日,55a间呈现比较明显的平稳降低态势,线性趋势率为-145.5度日/10a;CDD以7月最大(42度日);多年年均值为74度日,多年变化呈现波动上升的趋势,线性趋势率为16.5度日/10a。HDD和CDD的日数动态变化与二者多年变化趋势是一致的,分别呈现降低和上升的趋势。呼和浩特市理论供暖和制冷日数分别为271d和38d。     

Spatial distributions of heating, cooling, and industrial degree-days in Turkey

Summary The degree-day method is commonly used to estimate energy consumption for heating and cooling in residential, commercial and industrial buildings, as well as in greenhouses, livestock facilities, storage facilities and warehouses. This article presents monthly and yearly averages and spatial distributions of heating, cooling, and industrial degree-days at the base temperatures of 18 °C and 20 °C, 18 °C and 24 °C, and 7 °C and 13 °C, respectively; as well as the corresponding number of days in Turkey. The findings presented here will facilitate the estimation of heating and cooling energy consumption for any residential, commercial and industrial buildings in Turkey, for any period of time (monthly, seasonal, etc.). From this analysis it will also be possible to compare and design alternative building systems in terms of energy efficiencies. If one prefers to use set point temperatures to indicate the resumption of the heating season would also be possible using the provided information in this article. In addition, utility companies and manufacturing/marketing companies of HVAC systems would be able to easily determine the demand, marketing strategies and policies based on the findings in this study.     

湿球温度冷度日反映制冷能耗的适用性评估

基于湿球温度提出一种新的表征制冷能耗的冷度日,利用TRNSYS软件模拟得到1961—2012年逐月制冷能耗,分析了基于湿球温度的冷度日反映我国不同建筑气候区制冷能耗的适用性。结果表明,除上海外,基于干球温度的冷度日并不能很好地反映制冷能耗,仅能解释逐月制冷能耗的17%~60%;基于湿球温度的冷度日能够很好地反映各建筑气候区的制冷能耗,可以解释逐月制冷能耗的67%~98%。此外,各建筑气候区随着设定的基础湿球温度不同,计算得到的冷度日对制冷能耗的解释量不同。基础湿球温度为16.85℃的冷度日对哈尔滨和天津制冷能耗解释量最大,而不同基础湿球温度的冷度日对上海和广州制冷能耗解释量均无明显差异。以上研究结果证实,基于湿球温度的冷度日能较好地反映各建筑气候区制冷能耗,但各气候区用湿球冷度日反映制冷能耗时应设定不同的基础湿球温度。     

吉林省城市住宅采暖气候耗能距平序列的建立方法

 由于中国社会经济统计资料中均缺乏历年采暖能源消费数据,在分析气候变化对采暖能耗的影响时,始终存在着一个瓶颈。为此,提出了一种城市住宅采暖气候耗能距平序列的建立方法,这种方法把气候变化因素与相关的社会经济因素（如人口、人均居住面积等）结合在一起,较直观地反映了气候变化对城市住宅采暖耗能的影响。以地处高纬的吉林省为例,利用吉林省历年城镇人口、城镇人均居住面积、采暖度日数以及单位面积采暖耗煤量指标,建立了吉林省历年采暖气候耗能距平序列。结果表明：相对于1971-2000年30 a平均气候状况,吉林省2001/2002年的采暖期理论上因气候偏暖可以节约35.98万t标准煤,而2000/2001年采暖期因气候偏冷需要增加15.5万t标准煤。

广州市城市电力消费对气候变化的响应

低纬度地区的城市电力消费对气候变化有较为敏感的响应。该文引入了气候变化对农业产量和能源影响的研究方法, 分别建立了气候变化对电力消费影响强度的动态评估模型和降温度日模型, 对广州市城市电力消费对气候变化的响应作了深入分析。结果表明:广州市城市电力消费量主要受到气温、湿度、风速等气象因子的影响, 其中气温为关键性因子; 综合考虑各气候因子和气候变化的稳定性, 1956—2005年的近50年, 广州市气候变化对城市电力消费影响强度是持续稳定增加的, 正强度出现的概率呈现出增大趋势, 以10%/10a的速度增长; 通过对广州市降温度日的分析可知, 5—10月为主要的降温时期, 其气温的升高对降温度日强度变化影响很大, 达到46.6%/ ℃, 同时, 广州市的降温期长度变率也呈递增趋势, 因此, 气温的升高引发的降温度日的增加对广州市城市电力消费有深刻影响; 在未来气候变暖情景下, 夏季平均最高气温每升高1 ℃, 广州市全年单位工业产值耗电将增加2.02%, 5—10月的平均气温每升高1 ℃, 居民生活用电量的百分比将增加1.25%。在未来, 气候变暖将使城市用电压力有继续增大的趋势。     

Changes in Canada's Climate: Trends in Indices Based on Daily Temperature and Precipitation Data

ABSTRACT

Trends in indices based on daily temperature and precipitation are examined for two periods: 1948–2016 for all stations in Canada and 1900–2016 for stations in the south of Canada. These indices, a number of which reflect extreme events, are considered to be impact relevant. The results show changes consistent with warming, with larger trends associated with cold temperatures. The number of summer days (when daily maximum temperature >25°C) has increased at most locations south of 65°N, and the number of hot days (daily maximum temperature >30°C) and hot nights (daily minimum temperature >22°C) have increased at a few stations in the most southerly regions. Very warm temperatures in both summer and winter (represented by the 95th percentile of their daily maximum and minimum temperatures, respectively) have increased across the country, with stronger trends in winter. Warming is more pronounced for cold temperatures. The frost-free season has become longer with fewer frost days, consecutive frost days, and ice days. Very cold temperatures in both winter and summer (represented by the 5th percentile of their daily maximum and minimum temperatures, respectively) have increased substantially across the country, again with stronger trends in the winter. Changes in other temperature indices are consistent with warming. The growing season is now longer, and the number of growing degree-days has increased. The number of heating degree-days has decreased across the country, while the number of cooling degree-days has increased at many stations south of 55°N. The frequency of annual and spring freeze–thaw days shows an increase in the interior provinces and a decrease in the remainder of the country. Changes in precipitation indices are less spatially coherent. An increase in the number of days with rainfall and heavy rainfall is found at several locations in the south. A decrease in the number of days with snowfall and heavy snowfall is observed in the western provinces, while an increase is found in the north. There is no evidence of significant changes in the annual highest 1-day rainfall and 1-day snowfall. The maximum number of consecutive dry days has decreased, mainly in the south.     

气候变化对沈阳冬季供暖期的影响

利用1961-2010年沈阳市的年平均气温和供暖期及供暖期前一个月、供暖期后一个月的逐日平均气温资料,采用线性趋势分析方法及度日法,分析近50 a沈阳市年平均气温和供暖期平均气温变化的总体趋势,并对供暖初日、供暖终日和供暖期长度及供暖强度的变化特征进行分析。结果表明：近50 a沈阳市年平均气温与供暖期平均气温均呈上升趋势,近50 a年平均气温上升明显,通过了显著性检验;气候变暖使得供暖初日推迟;供暖终日提前;供暖期长度缩短;气候变暖使实际供暖强度逐渐减弱。     

四子王旗冬季采暖期和采暖强度的变化分析

利用四子王旗1971—2015年(10月至次年4月)日平均气温资料,通过线性趋势分析方法、度日法和MannKendall方法,分析近45a四子王旗采暖强度、采暖期长度、采暖初日和采暖终日变化特征,根据《民用建筑采暖通风与空气调节设计规范》(GB50019—2003)的规定确定了理论采暖的初日和终日。分析结果表明:近45a来,四子王旗冬季采暖初日在推迟,终日无明显变化;采暖强度呈显著减少趋势,变化速率为-77.04%;采暖期长度呈现下降趋势,但是下降趋势不显著。     

Regional Energy Demand Responses To Climate Change: Methodology And Application To The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts

Climate is a major determinant of energy demand. Changes in climate may alter energy demand as well as energy demand patterns. This study investigates the implications of climate change for energy demand under the hypothesis that impacts are scale dependent due to region-specific climatic variables, infrastructure, socioeconomic, and energy use profiles. In this analysis we explore regional energy demand responses to climate change by assessing temperature-sensitive energy demand in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The study employs a two-step estimation and modeling procedure. The first step evaluates the historic temperature sensitivity of residential and commercial demand for electricity and heating fuels, using a degree-day methodology. We find that when controlling for socioeconomic factors, degree-day variables have significant explanatory power in describing historic changes in residential and commercial energy demands. In the second step, we assess potential future energy demand responses to scenarios of climate change. Model results are based on alternative climate scenarios that were specifically derived for the region on the basis of local climatological data, coupled with regional information from available global climate models. We find notable changes with respect to overall energy consumption by, and energy mix of the residential and commercial sectors in the region. On the basis of our findings, we identify several methodological issues relevant to the development of climate change impact assessments of energy demand.     

气候变化对中国华北地区办公建筑供热制冷能耗的影响评估

以中国华北地区五大城市办公建筑为例,利用1961—2017年气象数据和TRNSYS软件模拟的供热制冷负荷数据,评估了气候变化背景下华北地区建筑供热制冷负荷的变化。在此基础上,对模拟负荷和气象要素进行多元线性逐步回归分析,揭示了影响建筑供热、制冷负荷的主要气象因子。结果表明：1961—2017年中国华北五大城市供热负荷均呈下降趋势,降幅为0.05（石家庄）—0.13 kWh·m^-2·（10 a）^-1（呼和浩特）;各城市制冷负荷的变化不同,仅呼和浩特为增多,增幅为0.04 kWh·m^-2·（10 a）^-1,其余城市制冷负荷无明显变化;从总负荷来看,各城市均呈下降趋势,降幅为0.05（太原）—0.10 kWh·m^-2·（10 a）^-1（呼和浩特）。由供热制冷负荷与气象要素的回归分析可知,冬季供热负荷主要受气温影响,五大城市的显著增温导致供热负荷减少;与此不同,夏季制冷负荷主要受气温、太阳辐射的共同影响,呼和浩特平均气温和太阳辐射均呈显著上升趋势,导致其制冷负荷显著增加。其他城市气温显著升高,而太阳辐射显著降低,二者的综合作用导致制冷负荷没有明显的变化趋势。总体来看,在气候变暖背景下,中国华北地区冬季供热负荷明显降低,而夏季制冷负荷并未明显增加,导致总负荷显著降低,气候变暖总体上对建筑节能有利。     

绵阳市度日数特征及其变化趋势分析

从20世纪50年代以来,度日数一直作为气候变化与供暖关系的一个综合评价指标。基于全球变暖可能对我国供暖天数和温度产生深刻的影响,本文采用绵阳市1946~2005年共49年的日最低、最高气温资料,分析了绵阳市度日数年变化特征,并对其进行了趋势分析。结果表明:绵阳市历年供暖度日数最小值处于1998年,比1976年最大值低93.5%,10a年均供暖度日数变化趋势为二次曲线;制冷度日数波动性很大,1960~1979年在1500℃·d左右波动,1979~1990年在1400℃·d左右波动,1990年以后基本处于1500℃·d以上,10a年均制冷度日数拟合趋势曲线为三次曲线。基于Mann-Kendall(M-K)检验法,在α=0.05水平下,对绵阳市供暖和制冷度日数进行检验,研究发现:供暖度日数明显减少,1992年为突变起始年份;制冷度日数波动增长,且自1997年起突变。     

气候变暖对呼和浩特地区采暖期能源消耗的影响

利用呼和浩特市1962—2007年逐日气温以及采暖期供热部门提供的相关参数,运用数理统计等分析方法,参照采暖供热等相关规范,综合分析了呼和浩特市采暖变化特征以及气候变暖对采暖能耗的影响。结果表明:随着气候变暖,呼和浩特市采暖期比实际采暖期缩短30d,尤其是在1988年气温发生突变之后,采暖期缩短趋势更加明显。采暖期能耗的高低与采暖度日和采暖期长度关系极为密切。近46年呼和浩特市采暖度日与采暖期长度均呈现显著下降趋势,说明呼和浩特市冬季寒冷程度减弱,寒冷期变短,如果采取措施可以有效降低采暖能耗。呼和浩特市采暖需求偏多年份88%以上出现在20世纪60—70年代,而约有85%的偏少年份出现在20世纪90年代至21世纪初期。     

Spatial variability of chilling temperature in Turkey and its effect on human comfort

Summary Air temperature, absolute humidity and wind speed are the most important meteorological parameters that affect human thermal comfort. Because of heat loss, the human body feels air temperatures different to actual temperatures. Wind speed is the most practical element for consideration in terms of human comfort. In winter, due to the strong wind speeds, the sensible temperature is generally colder than the air temperature. This uncomfortable condition can cause problems related to tourism, heating and cooling. In this study, the spatial and temporal distributions of cooling temperatures and Wind Chill Index (WCI) are analyzed for Turkey, and their effect on the human body is considered. In this paper, monthly cooling temperatures between October and March in the years 1929 to 1990 are calculated by using measured temperature and wind speed at 79 stations in Turkey. The influence of wind chill is especially observed in the regions of the Aegean, west and middle Black Sea and east and central Anatolia. The wind chill in these regions has an uncomfortable effect on the human body. Usually, the WCI value is higher in western, northern and central Anatolia than in other regions.
