Optimisation for interconnected energy hub system with combined ground source heat pump and borehole thermal storage

Da Huo, Wei Wei, Simon Le Blond

Dec 01, 2018

Ground source heat pumps (GSHP) give zero-carbon emission heating at a residential level. However, as the heat is discharged, the temperature of the ground drops, leading to a poorer efficiency. Borehole inter-seasonal thermal...
