AbstractBased on an irreversible quantum Carnot heat pump model in which spin-1/2 systems are used as working substance, an exergy-based ecological function and some other important parameters of the model heat pump are derived. Numerical examples are provided to investigate its ecological performance characteristics. The influences of various irreversibility factors on the ecological performance are discussed. Performance comparison and discussion among maximum points of ecological function, heating load, and so on, are conducted. At last, three special cases are discussed.

The idea of DC-DC converter with multi-input is yet to attain a vital role in the field of 'hybrid energy system (HES)' integration and electric vehicle applications. So, the analysis of the dynamic behavior of the multi input converters is crucial in designing a proper controller to achieve a stable performance. This paper reports a 'small signal model (SSM)' and the performance analysis of a 'dual-input DC-DC converter (DIC)'. The parasitic resistances of capacitor and inductor are considered in the modelling. The significant transfer function (TF)s are derived with the help of the SSM, and the Bode plots for the TFs have been obtained. The performance analysis shows that the derived TFs allow better closed loop performance of the system. The simulation of the DIC converter in MATLAB/ Simulink® has been carried out and the simulation waveforms are presented. A hardware setup of the DIC converter is fabricated and experimented in the laboratory. The dynamic performance of the DIC is analyzed under the variations in the source and load conditions. The presented converter with a closed loop controller can be used in the applications to formulate a HES with solar-PV, battery, fuel cell, etc. Also the performance comparison of the DIC converter has been performed with other reported converters which shows that the DIC converter has higher efficiency and several other potential merits.

Evaluation of appropriate areas to introduce a closed-loop ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system in the case of a standard detached residence was conducted in Akita Plain, Japan. Depth of borehole heat exchanger (BHE) required to use a GSHP system was taken as the suitability index, which is simpler for the general public to understand and to promote the system. Heating and cooling loads of the standard size detached residence were calculated based on the 2013 Energy Conservation Standard. To estimate BHE depths and estimate a suitable area, identical 3D BHE models were constructed at 30 points in the plain. Required BHE depths were determined by performing heat exchange simulations at each location using the calculated loads and heat exchange rates. A suitability map showing distribution of the required BHE depths was prepared. BHE depths were shorter in the north-western area compared to the other parts, implying that the coastal lowlands in this area are more suitable for closed-loop system in the standard detached residences in terms of heat exchange performance as well as the cost reduction. Thickly distributed Quaternary System with higher thermal conductivity is contributing to shorter BHE depths. The suitability map is effective to adopt potential areas for the system installation in the standard detached Japanese residences.
