초록

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT)-integrated Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) system under cooling conditions during the transitional season. An AI-based optimal flow control algorithm was developed and applied to improve the cooling performance. The experimental results showed that, compared to the conventional On/Off control, the optimal control system effectively reduced the energy consumption of the circulation pump by 32.5%. Although the Heat Pump Coefficient of Performance (COP) decreased slightly due to reduced circulation water flow, the overall system COP increased by 1.66%, indicating an improvement in energy efficiency. The findings demonstrate that real-time environmental data-driven control strategies can effectively optimize energy consumption and improve system performance, paving the way for further application in building systems.
