Currently available energetic evaluation methods for heat pump and micro-CHP systems lead to results which partly deviate strongly from field measurements. A new evaluation method based on the Hardware-in-the-Loop concept was therefore developed and tested in a research project. The method employs representative days. A procedure for determining the representative days is presented. The functionality of the concept could be proven in a round robin test and the energetic key figures can be confirmed by values from field measurements values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
