Description
In this project, innovative integrated solutions for a cost-effective, sustainable comfort solution will be developed. Heating of buildings is a significant part of Sweden's energy use. Many houses are heated by heat pumps that use renewable energy. To meet the needs of the future and take larger shares of the international heat market, the products should be further developed and combined with energy storage and smart control. Previous studies have shown good conditions for this, but market development is slow. The project will be the Swedish contribution to a new IEA HPT / ECES Annex "Comfort & Climate Box - Speeding up market development for integrating heat pumps and storage packages" which is run in collaboration with Mission Innovation. Within the project, simulations will be performed and prototypes will be developed and evaluated. A Roadmap should also be developed with recommendations to manufacturers, policy makers, and standardization organizations.
Dalarna University's role is to further develop control algorithms for exhaust air heat pumps using an extra tank for thermal storage and to compare this with battery storage in terms of cost. Dalarna University's work can be seen as a continuation of the work carried out in the project TESHP, financed by the Knowledge Foundation.
