This work presents a novel thermal energy storage (TES) integrated with existing residential heat pump (HP). The research focuses on controls and configuration for energy, demand, cost and carbon emissions savings for residential buildings’ energy consumption. This work will be significant in developing a framework especially for reduced energy demand and carbon emissions associated with space heating and cooling in residential buildings. Since buildings account for about 40% primary energy consumption in U.S. and half of that is associated with HP.
An existing air source HP in integrated with a phase change material (PCM) based TES via active configuration where …
