This study evaluated the heating performance of a hybrid heat pump system. The system was installed in a $100-m^2$ greenhouse to utilize surplus solar energy. A hybrid heat pump system was installed at Jocheon-ri, Jeju Island, for an empirical evaluation of the performance. The system consists of a heat storage tank and plate heat exchangers for several heat exchanges between the greenhouse and heat pump or storage tank. The system uses R410a as the working fluid and is controlled automatically by a defined set temperature of the greenhouse. This system incorporates two kinds of heat sources: outdoor air and a storage tank that collects heat from the topside of the greenhouse. The results showed that the heating capacity was 19.9 kW in the outdoor air source mode and 21.4 kW with direct heating from hot water in the thermal storage tank. These results are very similar to those of a previous study.

Recently. we interested in renewable energy due to cost increase of the crude oil, etc. In this study solar assisted hybrid heat pump system that uses the solar heat and air as heat source analyzed by experimentally.'rho system could runs at dual mode. One is thermal storage mode of solar energy at day time and the other is heat pump mode with low temperature air as heat source at night time. In case of setting temperature over the limited range. high temperature water heated at the solar energy collecting tubes supplied to the storage tank. As results. it is founded that the heat pump performance Is higher than general heat pump which using the only air as a heat source. The developed system could be used as main healing equipment for the panel heating for the residential house.

The objective of the present study is to investigate the load delivery characteristics of a hybrid-renewable energy system with geothermal and solar heat sources for hot water, heating and cooling of a residential house in Korea. The hybrid energy system consists of ground source heat pump of 2 RT for cooling with a 150 m vertical U-bend ground heat exchanger, solar collectors of 4.8 m2 and gas fired backup boiler. The averaged coefficient of performance of geothermal module during cooling and heating seasons are evaluated as about 4.5 and 3.8, respectively.

In this study, the solar thermal and geo-source heat pump(GSHP) hybrid system for heating and cooling of Zero Energy Solar House(ZESH) was analyzed by experiment. The GSHP in this hybrid system works like as aback-up device for solar thermal system. This hybrid system was designed and installed for Zero Energy Solar House (KIER ZeSH) in Korea Institute of Energy Research. The purpose of this study is to find out that this system is optimized and operated normally for the heating load of ZeSH. The analysis was conducted as followings ; - the thermal performance of facade integrated solar collector - the on/off characteristics of solar system and GSHP - the contribution of solar thermal system. - the performance of solar thermal and ground source heat pump system respectively. - the meet of thermal load (space and water heating load). This experimental study could be useful for the optimization of this system as well as its application in house. This hybrid system could be commercialized for the green home if it is developed to a package type.

The investment in the technology of using a combined heat source is insufficient, which utilizes the advantages of various heat sources to maximize the potential energy and at the same time increases the performance of the heat pump. In this study, as basic data for the development of a high-efficiency hybrid heat pump system that actively connects and uses various heat sources, simulations were conducted for the heat pumps in two cases where geothermal and hydrothermal heat were applied respectively. In May, COP increased by about 27.3% compared to geothermal heat. In February, the COP percentage decrease of hydrothermal heat compared to geothermal heat is -6.9%. In May, total energy consumption can be reduced by 21.1% when hydrothermal is applied compared to geothermal heat. In February, the total energy consumption increases by 3.4%.

In this study a hybrid heating system based on geothermal source and solar heat was developed in order to save energy for greenhouse heating and its field performance was evaluated. Developed system are composed of following parts: water tank, heat exchanger, heat pump, fan coil unit and heat storage unit. The working performance test was carried out in a greenhouse cultivating oriental orchids being managed by $23^{\circ}C$. Field performance test results showed that average heating coefficient of performance ($COP_h$) was 3.4 for the period from mid-January to mid-March 2013. Heating coefficient of performance ($COP_h$) of developed hybrid heat pump system was more sensitive to water tank temperature than outside air temperature. This study showed that developed hybrid heat pump system has a potential to save the heating costs up to 91% compared to conventional agricultural oil heaters.

This study describes the results of Coefficient of Performance(COP) analysis by cycle simulation for two types of absorption-compression hybrid cycle using the Water/Lithium Bromide solution pair. These types are basic hybrid systems introducing a mechanical compression process into the refrigerant vapor phase of the single effect absorption cycle. In absorption-compression hybrid cycles, coefficient of performance is improved compared with absorption cycle. Hybrid cycle Type 2 is considered as a key technology to support energy utilization system, given its capability of utilizing waste heat to drive system with a high level of efficiency.

A $CO_2$ heat pump system was designed for both cooling and heating in the cabin of electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles or fuel cell vehicles, In this study, the performance characteristics of the heat pump system without any supplementary heating device were analyzed and the heating performance was compared with the cooling performance for various operating conditions. Experiments were carried out by changing the speed of electric drive compressor, the air flow rate of interior heat exchanger and the air inlet temperature and speed of exterior heat exchanger. Therefore, the cooling/heating capacities and the corresponding COPs are quantified. Also, the heat pump system showed an improved performance for the cooling operation and the heating operation. In this study, the experimental results can be used to evaluate the effect of system design changes on system performance as well as the development of a highly efficient heat pump system.

This research developed a hybrid heat pump system with the functions of dehumidification and heating, which uses simulated air that is like underground air, from an environmental chamber as a heat source. The system consisted of three evaporators and three condensers that were installed in series in the air passage, between the underground and load space. As results, the total amount of dehumidification was 2.726 kg/h, and the heating $COP_h$ was 1.84 at air intake temperature $17^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity 70%, which is a similar condition to underground air. We found that the total amount of dehumidification also increased with the air temperature and humidity. The system $COP_s$ was reached at 2.5, if we include the latent heat of dehumidification in the conventional heat pump system's COP.
