Photovoltaic-driven thermochemical storage for cooling applications: concept and efficiency study.

Author(s) : FERRUCCI F., STITOU D., ORTEGA P., et al.

Summary

The energy situation in tropical insular regions, such as in the French Polynesian islands, presents a number of challenges, including high dependence on imported fuel and weak electricity grids. With regards to electrical energy demand, the high temperatures in these regions throughout the entire year implies that a large proportion of electricity consumption (~40%) is used to cool buildings, even during evening hours. This paper presents an air conditioning system driven by photovoltaic (PV) electricity that combines a mechanical vapor refrigeration system and a thermochemical storage unit. The efficiency of such a hybrid system is evaluated and compared with alternative processes that utilize either electrochemical or thermal storage for cooling production.
