    <p>Muhammad and Hamidreza,</p>
    <p> Hamidreza's approach is the correct one, I think. I have written
      2 variable speed heat pump models, which will be included in a new
      TESS Libraries eventually. One is an air-to-air heat pump and the
      other is an air-to-water heat pump. I do not have a water-to-air
      version written. They can be made available for sale as individual
      components if you are interested. Both of the components
      essentially use the same methodology that Hamidreza described. <br>
    </p>
    <p>kind regards,</p>
    <p> David</p>

        <p class="MsoNormal">In Trnsys you have the possibility to apply
          single and 2-stage heat pumps models (Type 927, 1221) but as
          far as I know no type for variable speed heat pump is yet
          implemented. </p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">I would recommend you to use a datasheet of
          operation points of variable speed heat pump from any
          manufacturer and use Type Multi-Dimensional Data Interpolation
          (Type 581) to generate an interactive interpolation depending
          on the parameters you want to study such as (Compressor
          Frequency, outlet water temperature and etc).</p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">You can then connect your heating/cooling
          load model to your heat pump model. </p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">However to have a start point you could
          start with Type 1221 and implement a simple load control
          strategy for it to seen how it performs.</p>
