Abstract The use of heat pumps for annual climatization is a suitable mean achieving the 2030 European decarbonization target (-55% with respect to 1990 CO 2 emissions). seasonal energy storages allows store one two contemporaneous effects (thermal and cooling energy) produced by pump be used successively when it necessary. This paper focuses on dynamic simulation size heating plant define cont...

Geothermal Heat Pumps, or Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), are systems combining a heat pump with a ground heat exchanger (closed loop systems), or fed by ground water from a well (open loop systems). They use the earth as a heat source when operating in heating mode, with a fluid (usually water or a water-antifreeze-mixture) as the media transferring the heat from the earth to the evaporator o...

The Hybrid Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system features the combination of ground heat exchanger (GHE) and cooling tower for rejecting the cooling load, which enables the use of the renewable resource of geothermal energy while reducing the cost of installation for applications of high cooling demand. However, model based control for efficient operation of the GSHP system can be intricate due...

Ground Coupled Heat Pump (GCHP) is a well-known technology that has been used for over 50 years. However its market penetration, in particular in Europe, is still small. In those European countries in which GCHP are most popular, climatic conditions are such that by far most of the demand is for space heating, whereas air conditioning is rarely required. Therefore experience with GCHP in Europe...

The objective of this paper was to design energy integrated solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) based microcombined heat and power (micro-CHP) systems using syngas derived from lignocellulosic biomass waste. The novel contributions of this work include 1) integration of syngas between a community-scale biomass gasification plant and SOFC based micro-CHP systems in buildings; 2) heat integrated designs...

The knowledge of the ground thermal properties, and in particular conductivity is fundamental for correct sizing Ground Coupled Heat Pump (GCHP) plant. Thermal Response Test (TRT) most used experimental technique estimating conductivity. This paper presents an setup aimed to realise a suitable scale prototype real borehole heat exchanger (BHE) surrounding reduced TRT experiments. scaled volume ...
