Simulation Study on Heating Stability of PV/T-GSHP Automatic Control Heating System Based on TRNSYS

Abstract

The PV/T-GSHP heating control system is proposed to address the energy consumption problem of building heating in northern China. By using TRNSYS to establish an automatic control model, the control of the heat pump start/stop, water supply temperature on the load side of the tank, and high temperature water return to the building can achieve the purpose of being energy saving, providing stable heating, and providing control of high temperature heating. The results show that the PV/T-GSHP control system has an annual fluctuation range of 0.01~0.17 kW in the heating period for a typical building heat supply and building heat load, and the system energy efficiency and energy consumption are increased by 14.5% and 33.91%, respectively, compared with the GSHP system, and the annual value of cost is reduced by 8.49% and 19.09% compared with the GSHP and traditional coal-fired boiler system, which shows that the PV/T-GSHP control system is more economical. It can be seen that the PV/T-GSHP control system has better heating stability, energy efficiency, and economy, and it provides theoretical significance for the current clean heating automatic control scheme in Chinese northern areas.
