Parameter name | Explanation | Range |
|---|---|---|
Nominal thermal power | This value defines how much thermal power the CHP can provide to the heating system. | Hysopt supports a range from 0-100 MW. |
Reference return temperature | This value has an impact on the thermal efficiency of the CHP. A similar capacity for different reference return shows differences between units | Hysopt supports a range from -5-200 °C. |
Electrical efficiency table | Contains the relation of the electrical load factor to the electrical efficiency. | See below for more information about this table. |
Thermal efficiency table | Contains the relation of the electrical load factor and the return temperature to the thermal efficiency. | See below for more information about this table. |
Water heat capacitance | This value defines how much heat has to be provided to increase the temperature of the water content by 1 Kelvin. | Only positive values. |
KV value | Expresses the amount of flow for a pressure drop of 1 bar. | Only positive values. |

The process of changing the efficieny tables is similar as those in the boiler BC. A step-by-step guide on changing the efficiency lookup table, can be found here: Changing boiler efficiency (with templates) .
