“…Tianjin features a four-season, monsoon-influenced climate, typical of East Asia, with cold, windy, severe dry winters, and hot, humid summers. Passive design parameters such as building window-to-wall ratio, the envelope structure and seepage are designed through the Tianjin Residential Building Energy Efficiency Design Standards [24]. The air conditioning system operation time was from 18:00 p.m. to 08:00 a.m. on workdays, and 24 h at the weekend.…”

Considering the huge power consumption, rapid response and the short-term heat reserving capacity of the air conditioning load in the building’s energy system, the air conditioning load and its system can be equivalent to the virtual energy storage device for the power grid. Therefore, to obtain a high matching building renewable energy system, a virtual energy storage system of the air conditioning load, accompanied by a storage battery, was built in the paper. Then, operating strategies for the virtual energy storage of the air conditioning load and storage battery were designed. Further, to quantize the contribution of the virtual energy storage to the improvement of matching characteristics, two indicators of the demand side and supply side in the energy system were adopted, including on-site energy fraction (OEFr) and on-site energy matching (OEMr). Lastly, matching characteristic research of the building’s renewable energy system based on virtual energy storage of the air conditioning load was established and analyzed by TRNSYS and MATLAB in Tianjin, China. The results revealed that a better matching characteristic performance of the building’s renewable energy systems driven by virtual energy storage was obtained. In the condition set out in the paper, compared with that without virtual energy storage, the average values of OEFr and OEMr after virtual energy storage were 0.66 and 0.77, which increased by 8.19% and 8.45% respectively. Simultaneously, the battery operation performance in the building renewable system was improved when the virtual energy storage was working. The times of charge and discharge cycles decreased after virtual energy storage, and the depth of discharge of the battery reduced by 23.37% on a specific day.

Air conditioning systems based on solar energy can be considered today as an alternative to air conditioning systems with electrical mechanical compressions to reduce building energy consumption from fossil energy sources and achieve climate change goals. This paper proposes a new concept for the efficient use of an absorption cooling system with a wet cooling tower and a type of dual-acting combined collector for DSH and NRC in accordance with the climatic conditions of Bamako. The operation of a type of dual-acting combined collector and cooling tower was studied throughout the year. The solar energy generated by the dual-acting combined collector on the first day of operation heats the water in the storage tank 1 to 80 °C after 6 to 7 hours of operation, and on subsequent days this time is reduced by 3 to 4 hours depending on the weather conditions. Thus, a dual-acting combined collector allows the system to provide cooling for an average of 8 hours per day throughout the year. The water in the cold-water tank, cooled by night radiation into space, ensures operation without turning on the cooling tower for an average of 73 minutes per day. The wet cooling tower efficiency is about 0.86, and the annual water savings in cooling tower losses due to the night operation of the dual-acting combined collector is estimated at about 35 m3.

“…On the other hand, the main working pairs employed in liquid sorption (absorption) are NH 3 -H 2 O [33] and LiBr-H 2 O [34]. Meanwhile, the working pairs that are mostly employed are the evaporator, the condenser, the expansion valve, the absorber, the pump, the solution heat exchanger, and the generator [46][47][48]. The main concepts of both standalone and combined mechanical and thermal (absorption) compression chillers are shown in Figure 1.…”

The aim of this study is to assess the state-of-the-art situation of mechanical compressors with thermal compressor systems in combined cooling systems and their ability to provide the required cooling effects with lower energy consumption than traditional cooling systems. The integrated systems have various advantages such as a broad temperature range, low energy consumption, and more flexibility in operating conditions. A comprehensive review of thermal‒mechanical combined cooling systems is presented in terms of its principles, applications, different configurations, and various heat source systems. Two types of thermal compressor systems are included in this study. The first one is the absorption system that uses a liquid‒vapor working pair in its thermodynamic cycle. Additionally, the second type is the adsorption system that utilizes a solid‒vapor working pair in its thermodynamic cycle. It is concluded that continuing technological innovations are vital for sustainable cooling. Technological developments can lead to cooling that is both inexpensive and energy-efficient.
