A Black Box Approach to Air Source Heat Pump Power Output Modelling

This paper focuses on the implementation of a flexible method, for the dynamic modeling of air source heat pump. A black-box ARX class model is used. A Simscape model of the system is used to generate the identification data and test the results. In addition the steady-state results of the model are validated with an optimization-based software used in industrial production. The resulting control-oriented model shows a prediction accuracy of 90 % and is suitable for control optimization purposes.
