Experimental HIL datasets of a heat pump controlled by MPC or rule-based controllers for energy flexibility

Hardware-in-the-loop experiment performed in the SEILAB laboratory of IREC
Air-to-water heat pump including a DHW tank for production of SH and DHW, which external unit is placed in a climate chamber that reproduces the desired weather conditions dynamically
Control is MPC or rule-based, both triggered either by a signal of price or CO2 intensity from the grid (4 series of experiments)
Connected to virtual residential building (flat) in Spanish Mediterranean climate
