Parametric Analysis of a Solar Cooling System
Another parametric study on a solar cooling system was done for the weather conditions of Athens, Greece (Tzinnis et al., 2016), and after
Solar irradiation is a major contributor to renewable energy sources and its utilization is vital for designing a sustainable and green energy network. Greece is a country with high solar potential and thus the exploitation of solar irradiation in this country is an urgent need in order to reduce fossil fuel utilization.
We investigate the urban heat island (UHI) characteristics in the city of Athens, Greece, which is one of Europe's largest metropolitan complexes with a population of approximately 3.7 million inhabitants.
The mean seasonal values of the UHI in Athens were estimated at 5.4 °C in the summer, 3.2 °C in the autumn, 2.1 °C in the winter, and 3.1 °C in the spring.
Athens is situated in the western angle of Attiki, on a coastal basin surrounded by four mountains (Hymettos, Pentelikon, Parnitha, and Aigaleo), and therefore air circulation patterns and boundary layer conditions can vary extremely, depending on synoptic orientation during warm periods of the year [ 40 ].
The aim of the present work is the analysis of a solar-driven unit that is located on the non-interconnected island of Kythnos, Greece, that can produce electricity and green hydrogen. More specifically, solar energy is exploited by parabolic trough collectors, and the produced heat is stored in a thermal energy storage tank.
Different model parameterizations were tested, both with respect to urban characteristics and physical parameters. The daily minimum and maximum temperatures (Tmin and Tmax) derived from the model were validated against observational data from a dense network of weather stations covering metropolitan Athens and surrounding locations.
