This section provides a collection of specific IoT use cases involving the design, development, and implementation of IoT solutions for heat pump systems. These use cases were gathered in the national projects contributing to this Annex. They cover both market available IoT products and services related to heat pumps and ongoing, planned or recently finished research projects in that field. For each use case, all the information is summarized in a dedicated factsheet. In total, 40 factsheets are available.

  • Heat pump operation optimization
    e.g. by monitoring and remote control, by adaption to user habits, by adjustment of the heating curve, by scheduling of production and downtimes, by continuous set-point tuning, by interaction with other components (e.g. PV, solar thermal, storage, etc.) or to use flexible tariffs
  • Predictive maintenance
    e.g. by learnings from performance benchmarks, grey box modeling, advanced data analytics, etc.
  • Heat pump operation commissioning
    e.g. by set point tuning, comparison to performance benchmarks, learnings about the system layout and possible improvements for future installations, installation error analysis, grey box modeling, advanced data analytics, etc.
  • Flexibility provision
    e.g. by pooling of household heat pumps, by providing flexibility as balancing reserve or flexibility to DSO/TSO for other services such as congestion management or voltage control
  • Heat as a service
    e.g. by a different model of ownership (leasing, renting, buying heat instead of heating equipment)
