Techno-Economic Analysis of Solar Absorption Cooling for Commercial buildings in India

Optimization of Solar Absorption Cooling System Considering Hourly Analysis

Thermal modelling and optimal design of a solar absorption cooling system are presented, and hourly analysis is performed over the period of a year. Three design parameters are considered, then the Real Parameter Genetic Algorithm (RPGA) is applied to obtain the minimum total annual cost. The optimization results show that the solar cooling optimum configuration needs 1630 square meter collecto...

Moreover sustainable energy security is the another key issue which stimulate to think the researchers, manufacturers and government to develop the solar energy extensively. Development and application of solar energy have been regarded by the government of India and common people, and ...

Solar Heating in Commercial Buildings

Techno-Economic Analysis of Solar Water Heating Systems in Turkey

In this study, solar water heater was investigated using meteorological and geographical data of 129 sites over Turkey. Three different collector types were compared in terms of absorber material (copper, galvanized sheet and selective absorber). Energy requirement for water heating, collector performances, and economical indicators were calculated with formulations using observed data. Results...

Systematic comprehensive techno-economic assessment of solar cooling technologies using location-specific climate data

A methodology for assessing solar cooling technologies is proposed. The method takes into account location specific boundary conditions such as the cooling demand time series, solar resource availability, climatic conditions, component cost and component performance characteristics. This methodology evaluates the techno-economic performance of the solar collector/chiller system. We demonstrate ...
