Abstract

Renewable technologies associated with solar energy and cooling systems are in great development and fast dissemination in the literature. On the one hand, such innovations can reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gases emissions (GHG); but on the other hand, they still have higher expenditures especially because of the cost of solar reflective systems. This paper presents a new generation of solar collectors, denominated as reflective eccentric collectors, for driving the single effect absorption chiller and reducing the levelized cost of cooling solar-driven cooling systems. The study shows a case study in Brazil applying a hybrid system that is compared to the conventional solar-driven cooling systems. Both the configurations design and operation setpoints were optimized using multi-objective optimization methods. The research outcomes have shown the viability of this type of system for hot places. The optimal case presented a GHG emission level of 234 kgCO2/MWh, a LCOC of 123 USD/MWh.
