Abstract

Ground-source heat pumps are an efficient technology for heating and cooling in buildings. However, the main limitation of their widespread application is the borehole heat exchanger's (BHE) high investment cost. Hybridizing GSHP systems may overcome this limitation. This research work analyzes the long-term energy performance of a dual-source heat pump (DSHP) system, which uses the air or the ground as external heat/sink sources, in three representative European climates. First, a BHE cost-effective design solution is proposed for each climatology; then, a complete energy analysis is carried out, and the optimal source control parameters that best enhance the system performance in each climate are determined with the use of a complete dynamic model of the DSHP system developed in TRNSYS. Simulations were carried out for a 25-year operation period. Results show that the DSHP maintains the efficiency during the simulated period, with deviations lower than 1.7% in all cases. Finally, the source control optimization method results in only slight efficiency gains (
