Background
• Industrial and Commercial Air source heat pump water heaters
 (HPWH) have been identified as having potential to generate positive
 energy savings when replacing electric or gas water heaters or
 installed as new equipment.
• New deemed activities in the VEU and ESS programs have been
 developed to support this technology through incentives.
• Method is based on AS/NZS 4234: savings are calculated through
 TRNSYS simulation, modified for commercial & industrial (C&I)
 applications, new load profiles created.

Q2: Load Profile
• In your response to the public consultation, consider the proposed
 load profiles which have been selected to represent typical
 commercial/industrial applications.

28/06/2021 Industry Consultation on HPWH Simulations 20
Variable Load Sizing
• A variable load size is used to ensure the size of the load matches the product to
 achieve the most realistic deemed savings
• The peak load is adjusted by the modeller to find the maximum load size
 (ComPkLoad) that satisfies the minimum load delivery temperature (MinDelTemp)
 of 45°C and 60% energy savings requirements in all zones which are being
 submitted
• Simulations in all climate zones must be run with the same load size

28/06/2021 Industry Consultation on HPWH Simulations 21
Reference Systems
• Reference annual energy use is calculated proportionally to the load size modelled
• Reference electric and gas annual energy use:
 • , = 365 ∗ 0.905 ∗ 1.05 ∗ 
 • , = /0.788
 • = /0.85

Assumptions:
 • System losses (i.e. tank heat loss) of 5%
 • Reference thermal efficiency
 • Replacement electric system = 100%
 • Replacement gas system = 78.8% (AS/NZS 4234:2008)
 • New system = 85% (AS/NZS 4234:2021)
 • Average seasonal factor of 0.905 (AS/NZS 4234)

28/06/2021 Industry Consultation on HPWH Simulations 22
Q3: Reference Systems
 In your response to the public consultation, please consider whether the
 following parameters of the reference systems are appropriate:

 • Replacement of a gas water heater: 78.8% Efficiency
 • Replacement of an electric water heater: 100% Efficiency
 • New install: 85% Efficiency (Gas Water Heater)
 Each with system losses (such as tank heat loss) of 5%

28/06/2021 Industry Consultation on HPWH Simulations 27
Modelling Multiple HPs & Tanks
Only one instance of a HP & tank are modelled. Simply adjust numHP and numtank in parameter list to
represent multiple units. Results are multiplied out to get total energy from all HPs and tanks

 HPFlow into each tank = [32,2]*numHP/numtank

 [25,2] = load flow

 ([32,2]*numHP) = pump flow
 LoadFlow = [25,2]/numtank

 (.dck) file
 • ***.lst files provide guidance if there are any errors in the simulation
 • ***.OUT files provide results of the simulation

Results: Output file

• TIME: total hours of simulation
• zone: AS/NZS 4234 climate zone
• ComPkLoad: commercial peak daily winter load size in winter (MJ/day)
• Savings%: percentage energy savings compared to reference electrical water heater
• HPelec: annual electrical energy use of HPWH (GJ/a)

Determining Peak Load
 Guess ComPkLoad = 15 * Capacity kW
• Step 1: Guess ComPkLoad = 15 * Capacity kW
• Step 2: Execute TRNSYS template in Zone 5
• Step 3: If MinDelTemp > 45.0, increase ComPkLoad, Execute TRNSYS in Zone 5
 go to Step 2. Repeat Step 3 until MinDelTemp < 45.0.
Final ComPkLoad is the highest value for which If MinDelTemp > 45 AND Savings > 60%
MinDelTemp > 45.0 and Savings% > 60.0. => Increase ComPkLoad
• Step 4: Repeat modelling for zones 3-4 with the
 ComPkLoad found for zone 5. If MinDelTemp < 45 OR Savings < 60%
 => Decrease ComPkLoad
• Step 5: Check that Savings% and MinDelTemp
 requirements are also met in zones 3 and 4
 Run TRNSYS in all zones with highest
 valid ComPkLoad

28/06/2021 Industry Consultation on HPWH Simulations 34
Example: Determining Peak Load
1. System capacity is 20kW. Guess ComPkLoad = 15 * 20kW = 300 MJ/d.
2. Run simulation in Zone 5
3. Result: MinDelTemp = 48.4°C. Re-run with ComPkLoad = 350 MJ/d
4. Result: MinDelTemp = 45.3°C. Re-run with ComPkLoad = 400 MJ/d
5. Result: MinDelTemp = 41.4°C < 45.0 °C
6. ComPkLoad = 350 MJ/d is the highest load satisfying the criteria.

 Increasing ComPkLoad Decreasing MinDelTemp

28/06/2021 Industry Consultation on HPWH Simulations 35
Q5: Simulation Criteria
Please consider whether these criteria are appropriate:
• The minimum annual energy savings requirement of 60%, in the
 climate zone where the product is installed, which is used as part of
 the calculation procedure to define the load which a HPWH can
 deliver.
• The minimum delivery temperature of 45°C for the purposes of
 defining the load which a HPWH can deliver.

• 1.05 is the tank heat loss multiplier to account for additional energy required to offset tank heat loss
• PeakLoad is the daily energy load of the system in the middle of winter.
• ηgas is the thermal efficiency of the reference gas water heater = 82%

Emissions Factors
The values of EFelec, and EFgas are often defined at forward average
values over the lifetime of the product:

• EFelec = 0.3042 tCO2eq/GJ for electricity and
• EFgas = 0.05153 tCO2eq/GJ for gas

Integral 5125
• Multiple integral heat pump units may be modelled in parallel
• This system is based on the CER Domestic Integral heat pump template, modified to allow multiple units
• The system must be tested according to AS/NZS 5125.1, and the power and COP coefficients from this test
 report are used within the model.

Stand-Alone 5125
• Multiple stand-alone heat pump units may be modelled in parallel
• The pump is considered inherent to the heat pump unit, and therefore the pump’s power consumption
 should be included in the heat pump test report. If this is not the case, then separate pump component(s)
 need to be added to the model
• This system is based on the CER Domestic Stand-alone heat pump template, modified to allow multiple units
• The system must be tested according to AS/NZS 5125.1, and the power and COP coefficients from this test
 report are used within the model.

No Storage
• Commercial heat pump systems may be modelled without storage, as a single pass system.

Pre-Heat
• The commercial heat pump storage system can be extended to have multiple finishing tanks with either gas
 or electric boosting, or to use other boost plant such as instantaneous gas water heaters.

Indirect (External HX)
• Heat pump storage systems may have external heat exchanger(s) for indirect (closed loop) applications
• The heat exchanger is defined by a user-defined UA value.

2D Performance Map – Data File
• This data is re-formatted into a data file to be read during the simulation. At each timestep, the appropriate
 values of HP performance are read for the current values entering water temperature and ambient
 temperature

• Up to 10 steps in ambient temperature between -5°C to 40°C, and up to 5 steps of entering water
 temperature between 20°C and 60°C are provided

• The performance data is interpolated within these ranges but cannot be extrapolated.

• An example normalised performance map has been provided, however, it is required for manufacturers to
 provide their own performance map based on testing in accordance with EN 14511

• The normalised performance map is multiplied by a manufacturer declared rated power input and COP
 and/or rated thermal output (any two of these three) to fully describe heat pump performance.

2D Performance Map - Normalising
• The data from these tables must be normalised by the rated capacity and rated power at a selected rating
 ambient air temperature, Ta_rate, and rating entering water temperature, Tw_rate
