The heat pump can work as an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) or as a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP), visualised in the figures below. The evaporator side of an ASHP extracts it's energy from the ambient air, while a GSHP extracts it's its energy from the underground.
...
Please note that some technical brochures only mention the heat flow and not the electrical power. The latter can be determined using the following formula:
Pelectrical = Qheating/COP
Hysopt requires these table values to be provided in CSV format (comma-separated values), preview tables can be downloaded from Hysopt (A = download; B = upload).
...
When you open the downloaded COP table you notice that the first column represents the inflow temperature of the evaporator, the second column the outflow temperature of the condensor condenser, and the third column the COP. Adjusting the power table is done in a similar way as the COP table, the difference is that now the 3rd column represents the electric power. Below you can see a completed COP table and power table according to the manufacturing datasheet above.

It's also possible to input a modulating heatpumpheat pump, therefore the user needs to make an extra fourth column in both CSV files named "modulation".
When the heatpump heat pump uses a modulation between one or two compressors, the user needs to adjust both CSV files with the corresponding information in the manufacturing datasheet of the heatpumpheat pump. Below you can see a completed power table with a modulation of 50% or 1 compressor and a modulation of 100% or 2 compressorcompressors. For simulation the user needs to make an external control loop that is connected to the activation signal of the heatpumpheat pump, this needs to be a signal of 0,5 (use of one compressor) or 1 (use of two compressors).
When the heatpump heat pump has a continuous modulation between 20% and 100%, the user also needs to adjust the CSV files corrosponding corresponding with the minimum and maximum modulation. Below you can see a completed power table with a continuous modulation between 20% and 100%. For simulation, the user needs to provide a continuous control signal (for example the manipulated value of a PI-controller) to the activation signal of the heatpumpheat pump. Depending on the incoming signal, the COP and electrical power is interpolated between are interpolated between the minimum and maximum modulation.

The COP and power table is scaled with the following data:
With an ASHP for instance, the manufacturer typically gives the thermal power with the following quotation "A7/W35" which means an (A) air temperature of 7°C (evaporator side) and a (W) water temperature of 35°C (condenser side). With this information, the thermal power with the corresponded temperatures is implemented in the table and the remaining values in the table (with other temperatures) are scaled with the reference thermal power.
In default (without a lock), the design thermal power and design temperatures are used to scale the tables. The user can insert the manufacturer-specific thermal power and temperatures, and lock them so they won't be overwritten by the design conditions.
