Research on Optimization of Ground-Coupled Heat Pump Systems under Specific Constraint Conditions
Abstract:
A design method for ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems with specific constraint conditions is proposed. The total borehole number, borehole depth, borehole space and average velocity of fluid in the U-tube are considered as variables in the optimization problem. The optimization problem of four variables is transformed into that of single decision variable. A case study, which includes different schemes for designing GCHP systems of an office building and the corresponding economic analysis, is performed with the aid of simulation software. The result shows that optimal design parameters could be found in an economic optimization problem with specific constraint conditions. Additionally, design parameters may have a notable influence on the energy consumption of circulating pumps. The optimization method in this paper could be utilized by engineering designers for reference.
