Abstract:

Today, there is need for efficient and sustainable energy systems due to technological developments, climate change and population growth. For this reason, in order to eliminate the gap between energy demand and supply in the world, alternative (renewable) energy sources, storage of existing energy and efficient usage of energy are being used. The importance of technologies that utilize renewable energy sources, increase energy efficiency and store excess-waste energy is increasing more than ever in terms of energy continuity and reliability. The high cost of energy in industrial applications is one of the major factors for the growing demand for sustainable solar alternative applications with energy storage. In this study, it is aimed to design a new type of sustainable photovoltaic thermal solar collector refrigerating system and to perform Life Cycle Climate Performance (LCCP) analysis. Result of the LCCP analysis, direct emissions were calculated as 0,81 kgCO2e, indirect emissions as 119235.5 kgCO2e and total LCCP emission as 119236.3 kgCO2e. Thanks to this system, a sustainable system has been designed where heating, energy storage and refrigerating are carried out together.
