The collected datasets are relevant and related to Optimization of Design and Operation of Solar Assisted District Cooling Systems [1] paper. Part of the data is collected on the main and common components of the system. That includes solar collectors unit price ($/m), type, and efficiency; absorption chiller capacity (kW), type, initial cost ($), 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. The other part of the data is collected on hourly cooling demand over the year for the state of Qatar (kW), hourly global solar irradiance over the year for the state of Qatar (W/m) and variable cost of producing and storing chilled and hot water ($/kWh, $/kW). The data are collected from different resources such as government websites, 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 considered to be crucial and the core of such research are available in this paper.
收集到的数据集与《太阳能辅助区域供冷系统的设计与运行优化》[1] 这篇论文相关。部分数据是关于该系统的主要和常见组件收集的。这包括太阳能集热器的单价（美元/平方米）、类型和效率；吸收式制冷机的容量（千瓦）、类型、初始成本（美元）和性能系数；热水/冷水蓄热罐的类型、初始成本（美元）和容量（千瓦时）；以及辅助锅炉的初始成本（美元）、容量（千瓦）、类型和效率。另一部分数据是关于卡塔尔全年每小时的制冷需求（千瓦）、卡塔尔全年每小时的全球太阳辐照度（瓦/平方米）以及生产和储存冷水及热水的可变成本（美元/千瓦时、美元/千瓦）收集的。这些数据是从不同来源收集的，如政府网站、商业网站、政府部门、期刊和实际案例研究。这些数据的价值在于该领域进行此类研究所需的大部分数据都能在一个来源中获取。此外，一些数据，如年度每小时制冷需求和全球太阳辐射，在网上是无法获取的。而且，收集到的数据已经经过筛选，单位一致，随时可以使用。最后，本文提供了被认为是此类研究关键和核心的数据。
