Solar photovoltaic-assisted DC vapour compression with a low …
In photoelectric conversion cooling, photovoltaic (PV) cells are used to transform solar energy into electric energy, which is then used to power conventional vapour-compression chillers. These vapour compression chillers can either be DC or AC powered. ... (PV with ice gel thermal battery storage) exhibits the lowest LCOC at only 0.06 USD/kWh ...
