Energy Demand Reduction in the Built Environment Using Shallow Geothermal Integrated Energy Systems: Part II—Hybrid Ground Source Heat Pump for Building Heating

Published in ASME
Abstract

he research collection aims at finding the various possible opportunities for the effective integration of shallow geothermal energy (SGE) to decrease the energy demand in the built environment and to reduce emission associated with it. The direct utilization of SGE using a ground source heat pump (GSHP) has been reviewed in comprehensive review Part I. From the extensive review, it is found that the hybrid GSHP is needed to avoid ground thermal imbalance and peak demand. Hybrid GSHP can adopt various supplemental heat sources and sinks according to the local climatic conditions and the balance of energy demands. The primary focus on the integration of subsystems such as biomass, solar energy (photovoltaic (PV), photovoltaic thermal (PVT), and collector), phase change material, micro gas turbine, and absorption heat pump with GSHP is presented for heating application. This comprehensive review Part II highlights the recent research findings and potential research points in the hybrid GSHP for further research and developments.
