Load shifting and operational cost optimization in cold-climate ground source heat pumps using phase change material (PCM) -based thermal energy storage
This study investigates the integration of a phase change material (PCM) thermal storage tank with a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system for residential heating in a cold-climate region (Erzurum, Türkiye) under a time-of-use (TOU) electricity pricing scheme. The configuration incorporating a PCM tank (ATP52) and a bu...
