There are any number of ways that you can accomplish the control that 
you want. In general Type2 controls based on a relative temperature 
difference. If the difference becomes large then the controller turns 
on. If the difference becomes too small, the controller turns off. There 
are other controllers that will watch a set point temperature and turn 
on or off if a monitored temperature falls below (or rises above) a 
desired absolute set point. There are also equations that you can write 
in order to combine control signals together.

I am a bit confused by Type668 and 674 in your diagram. I assume that 
the GHSP can either heat the house or the tank based on your description 
but I am not sure that is how the arrows in the links are set up. Also, 
is there a situation where if the tank is hot and the collector is still 
producing energy but the house is cold that you would want to directly 
heat the house with solar?

I am not sure if this will entirely solve the problem but I would start 
by defining two equations:

tankWant is 1 if the tank is cold and the GSHP should send water to it. 
tankWant is 0 if the tank is already hot enough. You could have tankWant 
be the result of a thermostat model that watches the tank temperature 
and compares it to a set point or you could do many other things; the 
important thing is to have an equation whose result is 1 if the tank 
wants energy from the GSHP.

houseWant is similar. It has a value of 1 if the house wants heat from 
the GSHP and it has a value of 0 otherwise.

the equation for your diverter valve is going to determine the fraction 
of incoming water that should go to the tank:

toTank = (tankWant)/MAX((tankWant+houseWant),0.001)

by this, the tank will get all the flow if the tank wants heat and the 
house is satisfied. It will get half the flow if both the tank and that 
house want heat. It will get no flow if the tank is already satisfied.

kind regards,

  David
