Abstract: During the operation of any source of electrical energy, thermal energy is also generated. The heating of generator parts is accompanied by the loss of the efficiency of the entire system as a whole and eventually leads to failure. In order to remove the heat load from generators based on renewable energy, such as wind turbines and solar panels, it is possible to use heat pumps based on various refrigerants. This article presents a comparative analysis of methods for evaluating the efficiency of the technological process, using the example of increasing the efficiency of the heat pump based on the heat produced by renewable energy installations. An example of improving the efficiency of a laboratory stand is used. Exergetic calculation, fluid selection, an analysis of external sources and emission reduction were performed. This thermal energy transmission system uses a solar panel as an additional low-potential source of heat. Options for increasing the energy efficiency of the installation are considered. An assessment of the reduction in emissions when using an equivalent diesel power plant was carried out using the developed mathematical model.
