Abstract: This study investigates the performance of hybrid renewable microgeneration systems in load sharing application between a detached residential house and a small office building. Two renewable energy systems are investigated: a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system and a hybrid GSHP/fuel cell (FC) system. The renewable systems performance is compared to a conventional system that utilizes boiler and chiller to meet the thermal loads of the two buildings. Models are developed for the three selected systems and then simulated in TRNSYS-17 environment over one full year under Ottawa, Canada weather conditions.
