AbstractIn this paper a control algorithm that minimizes the auxiliary energy consumption in a typical solar cooling system while maintaining appropriate comfortable conditions in the cooled enclosure is devised. A dynamic mathematical model for a lithium bromide‐water absorption chiller is developed to be used for deriving the optimal control algorithm. Finally, the results of simulation of the optimal control algorithm indicate that a net reduction of more than 30% in auxiliary energy is possibl
