The paper includes design aspects of the developed smart solar-powered cold storage as well as its installation and operation procedures, heat load calculation for optimum system, performance assessment and cost-benefit analysis. 2.
Can solar thermal and PV-powered cold storage system be used for potato storage?
A concept of a combined solar thermal and PV-powered cold storage system was proposed in the study of Basu and Ganguly for potato storage, as shown in Fig. 4. Cold storage condition was maintained using water-lithium absorption refrigeration. This system was unique due to its hybrid solar energy utilization from solar collectors and PV panels.
Can cold thermal energy storage be integrated with a solar refrigeration system?
The integration of cold thermal energy storage with a solar refrigeration system (SRS) will be the next-generation alternative for battery-based backup, which has the potential to run the system at low cost and net-zero carbon emission-based F&V storage. CTES is classified into latent and sensible heat-based energy storage.
Can a solar thermoelectric refrigeration system be used for low-temperature storage systems?
Low-voltage fans with fins will improve cooling performance and cold energy transfer from the module’s cold side to the refrigeration area. Solar thermoelectric refrigeration systems can be used for moderate to low-temperature storage systems. However, the COP of the system is currently low, varying from 0.1 to 0.4. Fig. 5.
How efficient is a solar PV-driven cold storage system?
A refrigeration area of 23.30 m 2 with a 2317.47 W cooling load was air-conditioned with a 3.85 KW cooling capacity system. The efficiency of the developed system was recorded in two modes, 0.7292 and 4.49. In addition, Hu et al. designed the Solar PV-driven cold storage system using ice thermal storage.
