AddHpwh
Add HPWH for Domestic Hot Water
This measure adds or replaces existing domestic hot water heater with air source heat pump system and allows for the addition of multiple daily flexible control time windows. The heater/tank system may charge at maximum capacity up to an elevated temperature, or float without any heat addition for a specified timeframe down to a minimum tank temperature.
This measure allows selection between three heat pump water heater modeling approaches in EnergyPlus.The user may select between the pumped-condenser or wrapped-condenser objects. They may also elect to use a simplified calculation which does not use the heat pump objects, but instead used an electric resistance heater and approximates the equivalent electrical input that would be required from a heat pump. This expedites simulation at the expense of accuracy.
The flexibility of the system is based on user-defined temperatures and times, which are converted into schedule objects. There are four flexibility options. (1) None: normal operation of the DHW system at a fixed tank temperature setpoint. (2) Charge - Heat Pump: the tank is charged to a maximum temperature using only the heat pump. (3) Charge - Electric: the tank is charged using internal electric resistance heaters to a maximum temperature. (4) Float: all heating elements are turned-off for a user-defined time period unless the tank temperature falls below a minimum value. The heat pump will be prioritized in a low tank temperature event, with the electric resistance heaters serving as back-up.
