In this paper, the energy performance of the solar powered cooling system assisted with ice storage was investigated. The proposed hybrid system was assessed and compared with two commonly used conventional cooling systems in residential and office buildings, the electrical chiller and district cooling system.
The integrated solar powered ice storage system reduced the annual energy consumption (AEC) by 140,160 kWh and CO 2 emission by 154 ton/year which is equivalent to removing 33 cars out of the roads. The payback period was found to be 7.75 years.
5. CONCLUSION The solar powered ice thermal storage system is effective for some circumstances. The model is useful for evaluating whether the system would work and what its cost and savings would be for each situation. 6. FUTURE WORK
Ice storage is one of the thermal latent heat storage systems which used to effectively shift the power demand from on peak to off peak and decrease the operation costs and environmental pollution.
The obtained findings are summarized below for each case study. The proposed ice storage system supplied 33 % of the total cooling demand where 39 % of the total energy required to power the glycol chiller and the base chiller was supplied by the solar PV panels.
The obtained results revealed that there is high potential of upgrading the current cooling systems in UAE and other regions with similar environmental conditions by incorporating the solar powered ice storage system as effective solution to support the conventional cooling systems at the peak hours of consumption.
