German researchers measured a PV-powered heat pump with battery storage in a single-family home in Freiburg, Germany, for a period of a year. It features smart grid-ready tech that adjusts operations based on the grid.Researchers led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) in Germany have studied a residential heat pump (HP) installation coupled with PV, battery storage, and a smart grid-ready system. "In-depth research is missing in terms of the impact of smart control on the dynamic performance efficiency of the heat pump," the researchers said. "Extensive work ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
