Analysis of Combined Ground-Source Heat Pump and Water Energy Storage System and its Economic Impact Factors

This paper makes an introduction of the working principle and the technical and economic benefits of the combined ground-source heat pump and water energy storage system. And then according to the characteristic of this system itself and its mode of operation, we can point out that the energy storage rate, the local policy of electricity price and the strategy of operation are the main factors which influent the economic characteristics of the system. Using the initial investment and the operation cost of the system as the economy evaluation index, we respectively analyze the influence of the above factors on the index. And wish the results of the analysis can provide reference on the design of this new type air-conditioning system.
