Data on the Design of Solar Assisted District Cooling Systems

Part of the data is collected on the main components of the solar assisted district cooling system. While the other part of the data is collected on parameters related to the system's components . The data of the system components includes, solar collectors unit price ($/m2), type, and efficiency; absorption chiller capacity (kW), type, initial cost ($), and COP; the hot/chilled water thermal energy storage tank type, initial cost ($) and capacity (kWh); and auxiliary boiler initial cost ($), capacity (kW), type and efficiency. While, the other part of the data is collected on hourly cooling demand over the year for state of Qatar (kW), hourly global solar irradiance over the year for state of Qatar (W/m2) and variable cost of producing and storing chilled and hot water ($/kWh, $/kW). The data are collected from different resources such as government website, commercial websites, government sectors, journals and real-life case studies. The value of this data comes from that most of the data required to conduct such research in this area are available in one resource. Also, some of the data such as the annual hourly cooling demand and global solar radiation are not available online. Moreover, the collected data are already filtered and the units are consistent and ready to be used. Finally, the data which considered to be crucial and the core of such research are available in this paper. This data is cited in:

本数据集包含两部分内容：其一采集自太阳能辅助区域供冷系统（solar assisted district cooling system）的核心组件；其二围绕该系统组件的相关参数进行采集。
系统组件相关数据涵盖：太阳能集热器的单价（美元/平方米）、型号与效率；吸收式制冷机的制冷量（千瓦）、型号、初始购置成本（美元）以及性能系数(COP)；热/冷水蓄能水箱的类型、初始购置成本（美元）与蓄能容量（千瓦时）；辅助锅炉的初始购置成本（美元）、额定功率（千瓦）、型号与效率。
此外，本数据集还收录了卡塔尔国年度逐小时供冷需求（千瓦）、卡塔尔国年度逐小时全球太阳辐照度（瓦/平方米），以及冷水与热水生产、储存的可变成本（美元/千瓦时、美元/千瓦）。
本次数据采集的来源包括政府官网、商业网站、政府部门、学术期刊及实际工程案例。
本数据集的学术价值在于：该研究领域所需的绝大多数资料可在此一站式获取；部分关键数据，如年度逐小时供冷需求与全球太阳辐射数据，难以通过公开网络渠道获得。此外，所采集的数据均经过筛选，单位统一且可直接投入使用。本研究核心且关键的数据集已完整收录于本文中。
