Simulation and optimization of ground source heat pump systems.

Author(s) : SPITLER J. D., LIU X., REES S. J., et al.

Summary

Almost any conventional heating and air-conditioning system may be satisfactorily modelled for energy analysis purposes with a steady-state analysis. Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems and hybrid GSHP (HGSHP) systems are a clear exception. The fact that ground temperatures may change over a number of years adds some complexity to the modelling effort, and has delayed availability of GSHP and HGSHP models in building energy analysis programs. This paper gives an overview of recent research and developments in GSHP system simulation, design, and optimization.
