Abstract: For large-scale Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems, the numerous Borehole Heat Exchangers (BHEs) are generally managed in units. The simultaneous operation of BHEs consume huge amount of energy by operating water-circulating-pumps. However, such an operation condition may waste energy when no peak thermal load is needed. Hence, operation management should be optimized according to timely energy demand to ensure efficient performance with minimum maintenance.
