Modelling an ASHP using Ironbug

Hi @MingboPeng, is it possible to model an ASHP using iron bug currently? Reading through unmet hours and looking through the components its seems that there is no direct way to model an air to water heat pump?

Just to archive the conversation here in case anyone has the same issue:
@ApoorvGoyal shared a link for “modeling” ASHP (Air to Water Heat Pump) with a proxy solution:

  • use a boiler with heat pump curves
  • and then adjust the COP based on OA

I used a boiler with modified PLR curves to match a heat pump performance and then used the link above to adjust the COP of the boiler based on OA. ts a proxy solution and worked for the task I was trying to do - but hopefully, there would be a better solution soon.
