Abstract

The objective of this study is to find the optimal control algorithm of a hybrid Plant, which is combined by renewable energy plant of the GSHP(Geothermal Source Heat Pump) and the normal plant (Chiller, boiler). The work presented in this study was carried out in the EnergyPlus(Version 2.0). The EnergyPlus was modified in order to simulate the hybrid plant. The plant system was controlled by the load-range-based operation in which schemes select a user specified set of equipment for each user specified range of a particular simulation condition. In the use of the load-range-based operation, four kind of control cases were defined and simulated in order to obtain the optimal control algorithm of the hybrid plant. The result showed that the Case 2 was the optimal control algorithm which used the GSHP as a base operating plant and the normal plant as an assistant operating plant. Even though the normal plant was operated in full load and the renewable energy plant of the GSHP was operated in partial load, the annual energy consumption of the normal plant was larger than that of the GSHP plant.
