Howell Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 As a Control Engineer by qualification, I think that integrating the Ground Source Heat Pump, PV and battery, Underfloor heating, Wind turbine, and EV systems is the way to go, maximising the use of all systems to attain the most efficient use of the power generated from the various sources. Any idea if a totally integrated solution exists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 At the domestic level I doubt it. Integrating all those together, especially when 3 of them are large variables, is not going to be easy. A large battery storage will be needed as a buffer, but the that is not cheap.

JohnMo Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Think you may be over thinking. The heat pump is just an electric user, it doesn't care where electric comes from. You can keep this Uber simple, 3 port valve to UFH and UVC. If you want to generate and power the full house in a power cut, you only have a couple of options, Tesla Powerwall or Givenergy All in One. Both can fully integrate the generators, grid and car charging. Unless the wind turbine is big, it likely to be piss poor performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
