Abstract :
This paper describes the financial benefits of consumers while applying different operating modes to their heat pump. In order to evaluate the different operating modes a single family house with heating system has been modeled and simulated with different operation strategies of the heating system and exposed to different electricity tariff schemes. Due to the detailed building model the comfort level resulting from the different operating modes has also been evaluated.
