I am consider simulating solar cooling based chiller to compare with conventional ones.
Jen - I don't know of any published technical papers that compare other modeling tools to TRNSYS for solar absorption cooling. But TRNSYS, with it's extensive solar library, controls, chillers, and thermal storage models, is a great tool for studying these systems. I've done several solar absorption projects and found the flexibility of TRNSYS to be extremely useful as we studied various configurations and control options.

I would like to know if there is any resource define the difference between using TRNSYS and other modeling tools. I mean I am trying to convince my supervisor to use TRNSYS because I believe it is more accurate but I really need to defend my point with more accurate and specific answers . thanks
