Systems for providing heat and electricity in single-family homes can be measured and tested as a whole over several days using the Concise Cycle Test procedure. In this project, the procedure has been extended by recording the error safety and the installation effort, and at the same time the method has been simplified in several respects: ?
- The test cycle was shortened from 12 days to 6 days. ?
- The test procedure was converted to a "benchmark procedure" with identical loads in each test. ?
- The extension of the test method from heat to heat and power supply was adopted from the project CombiVolt.
With the new method, four different complete systems were tested. The results show the strengths and weaknesses of the different systems, and provide valuable information for reducing the installation effort and increasing the robustness and fault tolerance of the systems.
