Among all the existing EES technologies, pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) and compressed air energy storage (CAES) are the technologies with large energy capacity [7, 8]. PHES is one of the most widely implemented and mature EES technologies in the world with good efficiency (70–80%) [ [9], [10], [11] ].
In addition to the studies above, the integration of CAES systems with Kalina cycles has been investigated. For example, Soltani et al. [35] proposed a new system integrating CAES and the Kalina cycle (KCS11, KCS34) under high-temperature thermal energy storage conditions, and analyzed the thermodynamic characteristics of the system.

Renewable Energy Refrigeration. Among various renewable energy, such as wind energy, biomass energy, solar energy, and geothermal energy ( Himri et al., 2009 ), the last two are the most applicated and easy to access. Hence, refrigeration of data centers based on solar energy and geothermal energy is most feasible.
