Reduce the cost of implementing geothermal heat pump systems on your building projects by going hybrid. A hybrid geothermal heat pump system can lower your costs by reducing the peak capacity of your ground loop and allowing you to install a smaller, less expensive ground heat exchanger. HyGCHP is a software module that can help you analyze this option!
An easy-to-use, but sophisticated method of analyzing various hybrid geothermal configurations is one piece that has been missing from the world of geothermal analysis tools. With our free modeling tool, HyGCHP (Hybrid Ground-Coupled Heat Pumps) you can use the powerful TRNSYS-based ground heat exchanger module1 to investigate several configurations of geothermal system, including both conventional geothermal systems and various hybrid options, from heating dominated to cooling dominated systems.
Use HyGCHP to:
- Determine how much money a building owner can save by choosing a hybrid geothermal system.
- Select optimal sizes for the equipment in a hybrid system.
- Compare different hybrid geothermal approaches in terms of energy and economics for a given building project.
- Analyze the effects of different control strategies for your geothermal or hybrid system.
