This model is composed of a heat pump based energy transfer station model Buildings.DHC.ETS.Combined.HeatPumpHeatExchanger connected to a simplified building model where the space heating, cooling and hot water loads are provided as time series.
The parameter bui.facMul is the multiplier factor
applied to the building loads that are provided as time series. It
is used to represent multiple identical buildings served by a
unique energy transfer station. The parameter facMul
is the multiplier factor applied to the whole system composed of
the building(s) and the energy transfer station. It is used to
represent multiple identical ETSs served by the DHC system. So, if
for instance the overall heating and cooling efficiency is equal to
1, then the load on the district loop is the load provided
as time series multiplied by facMul * bui.facMul.
Note that the parameters QCoo_flow_nominal,
QHea_flow_nominal and QHot_flow_nominal
are the ETS design values. They include the building loads
multiplier factor bui.facMul but not the building and
ETS multiplier factor facMul.
