Solar heating and cooling systems are a promising technology which may significantly contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the enhancement of energy efficiency, and the increase of renewables share in the building sector. The available literature show a high number of papers aiming at investigating solar heating and cooling systems based on heat driven and solar technologies, configurations, operating strategies, and financing issues. Nevertheless, none of the papers available in literature investigates the possibility to replace conventional solar thermal collectors by flat plat and concentrating photovoltaic/thermal systems, also producing renewable electricity. To cover this lack of knowledge, in this paper a dynamic simulation model of novel solar polygeneration heating and cooling systems is presented. Such dynamic simulation model is developed and implemented in a computer code, written in MatLab, and allows investigating the energy, economic and environmental performance of such novel solar polygeneration systems, based on both adsorption and absorption chiller technologies fed by dish-shaped concentrating and flat photovoltaic/thermal collectors. In order to show the potentiality of the presented tool, a comprehensive parametric case study is carried out to find out the optimal system configurations, as a function of crucial design and operating parameters and of weather conditions. The presented case study analysis refers to a small cluster of four buildings, including office and residential spaces, located in different European weather zones. The modelled solar polygeneration systems simultaneously produce electricity, space heating and cooling, and domestic hot water; electricity is self-consumed or delivered to the electrical grid. For comparative purposes, two different back-up system configurations, based on an electric chiller and a condensing gas-fired heater are also taken into account as conventional reference building-plant systems.

By means of this systematic parametric analysis, comprehensive guidelines for system designers, practitioners and/or researchers focused on the development and use of solar heating and cooling systems are provided.

太阳能采暖和制冷系统是一种有前途的技术，可能会大大减少温室气体的排放，提高能源效率以及增加建筑行业中可再生能源的份额。现有文献显示，大量论文旨在研究基于热驱动和太阳能技术，配置，运行策略和融资问题的太阳能供热和制冷系统。然而，文献中没有一篇论文探讨过用平板代替聚光光伏/热力系统替代传统的太阳能集热器的可能性，该系统还产生可再生电力。为了弥补这一知识的不足，本文提出了一种新型的太阳能多联供热和制冷系统的动态仿真模型。这种动态仿真模型是用MatLab编写的计算机代码开发和实现的，它可以基于碟形浓缩和平板式供料的吸收式和吸收式冷却器技术，研究这种新型太阳能多联产系统的能源，经济和环境性能。光伏/集热器。为了显示所提出工具的潜力，我们进行了一项全面的参数案例研究，以根据关键设计和运行参数以及天气状况确定最佳的系统配置。所提供的案例研究分析是指位于欧洲不同天气区的由四栋建筑物组成的小型集群，包括办公室和住宅空间。建模的太阳能多联产系统会同时发电，空间供暖和制冷以及生活热水；电力是自用的或输送到电网的。为了进行比较，还考虑了基于电冷却器和冷凝式燃气加热器的两种不同的备用系统配置，作为常规的参考建筑设备系统。

通过这种系统的参数分析，提供了针对系统设计人员，从业人员和/或研究人员的综合指南，这些指南着重于太阳能加热和冷却系统的开发和使用。
