The potential of photovoltaic green cooling with natural refrigerants.
Number: 0660
Author(s) : KOHLENBACH P., JAKOB U., MUNZINGER P., WERNTGES A.
Summary
The first part of this study investigates the economic feasibility of photovoltaic-powered air-conditioning systems in thirteen different sunbelt countries. Two different technical solutions have been analysed: (i) hybrid (partially PV powered, grid-connected) and (ii) off-grid (fully PV powered, no grid connection). These two solutions have been investigated for three different locations in each country. Each combination of technical solution and location has been investigated for application in the residential and commercial sector. The scope of the study was to identify the economic potential of solar PV cooling technologies. Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) and Net Present Value (NPV) have been calculated for each scenario as part of the comparative analysis. The second part of this study provides a less detailed, general comparison of two different state-of-the-art solar-powered cooling systems for the industrial sector with regard to design and cost. It was found that photovoltaic cooling has an economic advantage over solar thermal cooling.
