Products and services for IoT heat pumps

Over 40 different examples of projects and products for IoT heat pumps were collected in IEA HPT Annex 56. A distinction can be made between 5 categories: Optimization of heat pump operation, Predictive maintenance, Provision of flexibility, Commissioning of heat pump systems and Heat as a service. An example can be assigned to more than one category. The examples are available at https://heatpumpingtechnologies.org/annex56/factsheets/.

Stakeholders in the life cycle of IoT enabled heat pumps

Various examples of business models for IoT heat pumps were collected in IEA HPT Annex 56. The diagram shows the stakeholders involved in the life cycle of an IoT heat pump (blue = heat pump value chain, orange = operators and users, green = energy system). All reports are available at https://heatpumpingtechnologies.org/annex56/.

Use of runtime data in a knowledge base

The graphic shows how real-time data from the field level and building data are linked to the knowledge base.

Models for IoT heat pumps

The graphic shows different types of models that are relevant for IoT heat pumps. Physical models are based on physical relationships, data-driven models are created using only data. Hybrid models are based on both data and physical relationships.

Digital Technologies to Increase the Energyefficiency in Electric Motor Systems

The figure gives an overview of the technologies that were identified as relevant for energy efficiency in electric motor systems in several workshops, in the survey and interviews. Starting on the left-hand side of this picture technologies listed are smart sensors, advanced control on the level of machines and the Internet of things enabling communication between the different levels and components (in dark blue). Furthermore, the next level is the use of possibilities to analyse data and optimize operation (in green): data analytics on both the level of motor systems and on the level of production lines or even the whole company. Continuous monitoring of the different appliances is also significant. Technologies adding advantages to these applications (in grey) are digital twins, cloud-based services and artificial intelligence. Augmented reality can help to implement the suggested measures. Three technologies that are not directly related to the optimization of motor driven systems, but are of further interest include drones, 3D printing and advanced robotics (in dark blue at the right side of Figure 1). Starting on the left-hand side in Figure 1, technologies listed are smart sensors, advanced control on the level of machines and the Internet of things enabling communication between the different levels and components (in dark blue).

Important instruments to overcome barriers to using digital production technologies

Around three quarters of the respondents consider the development of education programmes and the standardisation process to harmonise protocols, as well as subsidies for research as important policy instruments to overcome these barriers.
