Abstract

In this paper, TRNSYS is used to simulate the heating systems of air-cooling concentrating photovoltaic/thermal (CPVT) coupled air source heat pump and water-cooling CPVT coupled air source heat pump. Besides, Grasshopper is adopted for multi-objective optimization of air-cooling system. This study not only proposed two hybrid systems and enriched the research of CPVT coupled air source heat pump, but also proposed a multi-objective optimization method, which uses Grasshopper to invoke TRNSYS. Compared with the air source heat pump system, the annual average COP of heat pump in the air-cooling system increases by 22.8%, and that of the water-cooling system decreases by 6%. The primary energy saving rate of the air-cooling system is 1.06 times and 6.67 times that of the water-cooling system and the air source heat pump system. The optimized air-cooling system reduces the annual total cost by 2.83%, and increases the energy utilization coefficient by 4.76%. The proposed air-cooling system has obvious advantages in energy saving and improving COP of heat pump. This study is useful for the cost savings and energy conservation of air-cooling concentrating photovoltaic/thermal (CPVT) coupled air source heat pump systems based on urban public buildings.
