heat Pump - description
Short Description
A model of a heat pump, with a variable COP. Intended to be used for optimisation processes. Temporal resolution depends on the component: for daily storage resolution can go up to an hour/minute range; for seasonal storage representative days have to be used.
Equations describing the state of the battery are time-continuous, while the sensors measuring the real-time status are discrete event-based. Given a specific heating demand profile and a heating source available at low temperature, this test allows the sizing of a heat pump, in terms of COP and compressor’s power at every time step. The objective function is the minimisation of the total exergy consumed.
In test configuration, the heat pump (coupled with the low temperature heating source) is the only technology that can satisfy the demand. The condenser’s power must therefore be equal to the demand at every time step. The evaporator’s and compressor’s power depending on the COP (temperature levels and power considered), are optimised accordingly.
Present use / development status
The model allows, by considering the 1st and 2nd thermodynamic law, the sizing of the heat pump (compressor’s power installed) and the optimisation of the temperature levels for the condenser and evaporator at each time step.
