Phase Change Materials (PCMs) incorporated in refrigerators can be used to shift their
energy consumption from peak periods, when the electric network energy demand is the highest,
to off-peak periods. While PCMs can flatten the energy demand curve, they can achieve economic
savings if Time-of-Use (TOU) electricity tariffs are applied. However, the hourly carbon emission
factor is not commonly linked to the hourly tariff, and the final CO2 emitted due to the operations
of the refrigerator would not be fully optimized. In this work, a method based on the Simulated
Annealing optimization technique was proposed to identify the optimal working schedule of a
cabinet refrigerator incorporating a PCM to reduce its indirect carbon emissions. Data from countries
with different representative carbon intensity profiles were used. The normalized standard deviation
and normalized range are the best statistical indexes to predict carbon emission reduction in the
proposed solution. These parameters proved that countries with a higher hourly carbon intensity
variation (Uruguay, France, Denmark, and Germany) benefit from the application of the algorithm.
Cost and carbon emission reduction cannot be maximized simultaneously, and a trade-off is required. [-]
