Information

1. Purpose of model

Controller model to set electric input power for heat pump and electric heater as well as heat pump temperature according to storage tank level or storage tank temperature as well as electricity prices. Heatpump will switch on preferably when prices are low, but will operate nonetheless if storage tank temperature drops too low.

For bivalent operation, electric heater produces heat with constant power and operates additionally to heatpump if minimum temperatur cannot be achieved with heatpump alone.
