OPSYS 2.0
The aim of the project is:
- to increase the efficiency of both existing and new heat pump installations by developing a control kit that can optimize both the forward temperature from the heat pump and the flow rate through the heat emitting system
- based on the above, to develop a control system capable of
o Creating flexibility services for the stabilization of the electricity grid
o Optimizing the self-consumption of PV generated electricity on private houses and/or avoid curtailment
Heat pumps are intended to play a major role in the transition of the Danish energy to renewable energy sources (RES) due to their high efficiency and they are able to provide energy flexibility for stabilization of the future energy system with much RES. However, a recent survey showed that the efficiency of Danish heat pump installations is very poor. Only around 16% could be considered as good. Although heat pumps in principle can be controlled according to the amount of RES in the system, only little energy flexibility can be provided, as the control of the heat pumps and the heating systems is not coordinated.
The OPSYS concept optimizes the performance of the heat pump installations via optimized control of the forward temperature and the flows in the system by controlling both parameters in accordance with the heat demand, the weather, and grid needs. Another important feature of the OPSYS concept is that it may increase self consumption from on-site PV systems.
