[TRNSYS-users] Heat pump model which can meet a specific load

[knut.erik.enerstvedt at niva.no]

Dear TRNSYS users,

I wish to model the operation of a simplified water-source heat pump system
with the possibility of varying delivered heating power based on expected
heating requirements, but without having to include a building with
temperature level control, as the most important aspect of the simulation
is to determine the amount of heat being extracted from the boreholes Does
anyone have a suggestion on how to do this as realistically as possible?
The only possibility I have seen so far for adjusting the delivered power
on water source heat pumps, and thereby determining the energy transfer
rate from the boreholes, is to scale rated power and capacity. Does anyone
know if there excists a heat pump component that can be adjusted to meet a
specific load?

Kind regards
Knut Erik Enerstvedt
