“…Centralized chiller plants facilitate the efficient and reliable integration of thermal energy storage, compared to conventional individual cooling systems [88]. The integration of CTS in building air-conditioning and DC has the following benefits [87,[89][90][91]: improved cooling load management; increased cooling generation capacity by shifting operation from peak (i.e., daytime) to off-peak (i.e., nighttime) periods; reduced energy consumption and cost through load shifting for both the DC supplier and consumer; reduced installed cooling capacity, investment and operating cost; improved renewable (e.g., solar energy) integration by reducing energy production-demand mismatch, such as through excess solar energy storage for cooling production in non-sunshine periods; improved chiller efficiency by avoiding part load operation and transient/intermittent operation; and improved system reliability by using CTS as a backup [21,90]. To capitalize these benefits, the local electricity demand profiles and tariffs, and country's energy policy, are the most critical factors and should guide the selection of an operational configuration (e.g., series versus parallel CTS-chiller arrangement) and strategy (e.g., full versus partial storage) [21,90].…”

A review of current and future district cooling (DC) technologies, operational, economic, and environmental aspects, and analysis and optimization methodologies is presented, focusing on the demands of cooling-dominated regions. Sustainable energy sources (i.e., renewable, waste/excess electricity and heat, natural/artificial cold) and cooling/storage technology options with emphasis on heat-driven refrigeration, and their integrations in published DC design and analysis studies are reviewed. Published DC system analysis, modeling, and optimization methodologies are analyzed in terms of their objectives, scope, sustainability-related criteria, and key findings. The current and future development of DC in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, a major developing cooling-dominated market, is examined more specifically in terms of current and future energy sources and their use, and economic, environmental, and regulatory aspects, with potential technical and non-technical solutions identified to address regional DC sustainability challenges. From the review of published DC design and analysis studies presented, collective research trends in key thematic areas are analyzed, with suggested future research themes proposed towards the sustainability enhancement of DC systems in predominantly hot climates.

Over the last 40 years different thermal energy storage materials have been investigated with the aim of enhancing energy efficiency in buildings, improving systems performance, and increasing the share of renewable energies. However, the main requirements for their efficient implementation are not fully met by most of them. This paper develops a comparative review of thermophysical properties of materials reported in the literature. The results show that the highest volumetric storage capacities for the best available sensible, latent and thermochemical storage materials are 250 MJ/m3, 514 MJ/m3 and 2000 MJ/m3, respectively, corresponding to water, barium hydroxide octahydrate, and magnesium chloride hexahydrate. A group of salt hydrates and inorganic eutectics have been identified as the most promising for the development of competitive thermal storage materials for cooling, heating and comfort applications in the short-term. In the long-term, thermochemical storage materials seem promising. However, additional research efforts are required.

“…In general, the building application of latent heat storages (LHS) for heating and cooling systems is still at its innocence (Lizana et al, 2018). Based on the researches performed on topic of the LHS combined with solar thermal systems, the systems have a high potential for the use in building sector.…”

Building sector still consumes 40% of total energy consumption. Therefore, an improved heating system with Solar Assisted Heat Pump (SAHP) was introduced in order to minimse the energy consumption of the fossil fuels and to lower the carbon dioxide emissions occurring from combustion. An energy analysis of the complex heating system for heating of buildings, consisting of solar collectors (SC), latent heat storage tank (LHS) and heat pump (HP) was performed. The analysis was made for the heating season within the time from October to March for different climatic conditions. These climatic conditions were defined using test reference years (TRY) for cities: Adana, Ljubljana, Rome and Stockholm. The energy analysis was performed using a mathematical model which allowed hourly dynamics calculation of losses and gains for a given system. In Adana, Rome and Ljubljana, it was found that the system could cover 80% of energy from the sun and the heat pump coefficient of performance (COP) reached 5.7. In Stockholm, the maximum COP of 5.12 was reached in March and October.
