Abstract

A method for controlling a system including a heat pump, a space heater, a space cooler, a thermal battery, an electrical battery and a grid access system, the method including turning on at least one of discharging of the thermal battery and discharging of the electric battery, if a hot water demand exists; turning on at least one of the heat pump, charging of the thermal battery, charging of the electric battery and discharging of the electric battery, if a space heating demand exists; turning on charging of the thermal battery, if a space cooling demand exists; and backfeeding electricity from the electric battery to a grid through the grid access system, if electricity sale is desired.

Claims (20)

1 . A method for controlling a system comprising a heat pump, a space heater, a space cooler, a thermal battery, an electrical battery and a grid access system, said method comprising:

(a) if a hot water demand exists, turning on at least one of discharging of the thermal battery and discharging of the electric battery;

(b) if a space heating demand exists, turning on at least one of the heat pump, charging of the thermal battery, charging of the electric battery and discharging of the electric battery;

(c) if a space cooling demand exists, turning on charging of the thermal battery; and

(d) if electricity sale is desired, backfeeding electricity from the electric battery to a grid through the grid access system.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

(e) if a hot water demand exists, further turning on at least one of the heat pump, charging of the thermal battery and charging of the electric battery;

(f) if a space heating demand exists, further turning on discharging of the thermal battery; and

(g) if a space cooling demand exists, further turning on at least one of the heat pump, charging of the electric battery and discharging of the electric battery.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said step (e) comprises charging of the thermal battery by turning on the heat pump.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said step (e) comprises charging the electric battery if electricity purchase is desired.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said step (f) comprises discharging the thermal battery to supplement said space heating demand.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said step (g) comprises discharging the electric battery to drive the heat pump.

7 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said step (g) comprises charging the electric battery if electricity purchase is desired.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step (a) comprises discharging the electric battery to turn on the heat pump.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step (a) comprises discharging of the thermal battery to supplement said hot water demand.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step (b) comprises charging of the thermal battery by turning on the heat pump.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step (b) comprises discharging the electric battery to turn on the heat pump.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step (b) comprises charging the electric battery if electricity purchase is desired.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step (c) comprises charging of the thermal battery by turning on the heat pump.
