Hypothesis
How does the integration of a wind turbine with a GSHP impact the overall efficiency and sustainability of the heating and electricity generation system?
Conclusion
The hybrid system achieved a high coefficient of performance (COP) of 3.916, an energy efficiency of 67.93%, and an exergy efficiency of 45.18%, demonstrating its potential for high operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Supporting Evidence
- The hybrid system achieved a high coefficient of performance (COP) of 3.916.
- Energy efficiency of the system was found to be 67.93%.
- Exergy efficiency was measured at 45.18%.
- The unit exergy cost was determined to be 0.1246 $/kWh.
Takeaway
This study shows that combining a geothermal heat pump with a wind turbine can make heating more efficient and better for the environment.
Methodology
The study designed and simulated a hybrid system model incorporating a wind turbine and a GSHP, evaluating its performance under various operational scenarios.
Limitations
The study focused primarily on heating without broader consideration of other energy needs, such as cooling or power generation for other applications.
