Paper No 039 – PVT Geo Coupled Air to Water Heat Pump System Twin Test Cell Experimental Study – 13th IEA Heat Pump Conference, Jeju, Korea
A new PVT (Photovoltaic-Thermal) and ground coupled AWHP (Air to Water Heat Pump) system has been developed and verified with a TTC (Twin Test Cell) in Korea. This renewable energy hybrid system technology could support Korea government’s energy policies about RE3020(20% by renewable energy in 2030) and the zero energy building policy for the public sector in 2020 and the private sector in 2030. In this paper, a photovoltaic-thermal and ground air heat exchanger hybrid technology will be introduced for local and global energy issues. SET (Separate Effect Test) models have been developed to verify PVT, GAHX and AWHP units performance. And also IET (Integral Effect Test) model with TTC has been developed to validate PVT-GAHX hybrid system performance. Initial commissioning of TTC both were matched in 99%. Seasonal test of heating and cooling weeks will be performed and introduced in terms of primary energy savings.
