A ground source heat pump system of combined office and residential buildings in hot summer and warm winter region is introduced. The system performance is studied through the experiment, and the performance of underground heat balance is analyzed by TRNSYS. The results show the superiority and applicability of the ground source heat pump system.

Experiment of a ground source heat pump system in cold area is studied in this paper. The results indicate that when the operation time increases to 100 hours, COPHP (COP of the heat pump) and COPSYS (COP of the system) decrease from 3.54 and 2.63 to 2.53 and 1.92, respectively. The average values of COPHP and COPSYS are 3.1 and 2.3, respectively. COPHP and COPSYS with 2 compressors at work are 11% and 12.2% higher than COPHP and COPSYS with 4 compressors at work, respectively. The average COPSYS with inverters is 6.42% higher than the COPSYS without inverters.

Ground source heat pump systems that are installed in areas with heating or cooling dominant seasons, or in buildings with utilization characteristics that lead to a disparity in demand, often encounter challenges related to ground thermal imbalance. This imbalance can lead to long-term ground temperature changes and may cause premature system failure. This paper focuses on combining a ground source heat pump system with a solar thermal array, with the goal of eliminating the effect of ground thermal imbalance, and minimizing system lifetime cost. A thermal mass ground heat transfer model is combined with a time-stepping model to analyze the system for a variety of solar array sizes. The details associated with this modelling technique are presented, and case studies are provided to illustrate the results of the calculations for three different buildings. It is shown that increasing the solar array size can offset ground thermal imbalances, but increasing the array size also results in a larger initial system cost. An economic analysis is then carried out to determine the system lifetime cost as a function of this solar array size, and an optimal array size from an economic perspective was found. The result of the study shows that hybridizing a ground source heat pump system with a solar array produces a viable system from a technical and economic standpoint, can be used to avoid premature system failure, and can reduce system lifetime cost.
