Energetic and economic analysis of decoupled strategy for heating and cooling production with CO2 booster heat pumps for ultra-low temperature district network

Gonzalo Quirosa et al.

Summary: The ultra-low temperature district heating and cooling systems are an interesting solution for decarbonisation, with booster heat pumps playing a critical role in meeting user requirements. A study comparing two types of heat pumps in ULTDHC conditions showed that type 2 had higher initial investment but greater annual savings in heating and cooling operations compared to type 1, indicating profitability is influenced by factors such as BHP size, total demand, and building characteristics.

Economic heat control of mixing loop for residential buildings supplied by low-temperature district heating

Hessam Golmohamadi et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel structure to control the mixing loop of heat pump heating systems and uses Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) to optimize the heat demand of buildings. The thermal dynamics of the buildings are modeled using the Continuous-Time Stochastic Model (CTSM). The results show that this approach not only minimizes energy consumption cost but also provides flexibility for the Danish Electricity Market.

Steady state behavior of a booster heat pump for hot water supply in ultra-low temperature district heating network

Tingting Zhu et al.

Summary: The study investigated the steady state thermal behavior of a booster heat pump (BHP) under different forward temperatures and flow rates, revealing that the BHP reached maximum COP of 4.95, heating capacity of 15.36 kW, and exergy efficiency of 33.4% at a forward temperature of 45 degrees Celsius. The compressor was found to have the highest exergy destruction among the components.
