Abstract
Solar cooling technology is a potential solution for air conditioning and thermal comfort in buildings. However, the intermittent nature of solar energy is a significant challenge for the widespread adoption of this technology. In order to overcome this challenge, energy storage systems and new control strategies are needed to smooth the fluctuations of solar energy and ensure consistent cooling output. However, integrating energy storage with solar cooling systems and their interaction with load requires a considerable initial investment. This paper reviews the methods for integrating solar absorption cooling systems with thermal energy storage and discusses control strategies for optimal performance. The paper provides valuable insights into the current status and future research directions in this area.
