The conceptual study
The conceptual study is used to execute high-level checks for changes to energy centers, for example implementing heat pumps in an installation. The installation will be drawn more simplistically to save on simulation time, for example, by combining a full radiator circuit into 3 radiators. In the following paragraphs, the Hysopt basic methodology is explained.
Important note: For conceptual studies, there are an incredible amount of differences based on the specific project, hence a simple guideline isn’t possible. It’s incredibly important to keep a level head while performing these projects to get as close to the real situation as possible.
The conceptual study flow chart
The following flow chart shows the methodology for each project, starting with the preparations, drawing in the reference model and load matching, followed by the optimizations, and finishing with the reporting.
