A novel thermal energy storage integrated heat pump system was proposed to reshape the electricity load profile of residential buildings while maintaining thermal comfort. High-fidelity computer simulations are needed for evaluating the feasibility of the proposed system. This study investigates the annual performance of the proposed system through Modelica-based system simulations. A rule-based control strategy was developed to shift the electric demand of a typical single-family house in Atlanta, GA from peak to off-peak hours to utilize the Time-of-Use electricity rate to lower the energy costs for conditioning the building. For comparison, a conventional air-source heat pump system serving the same building was also developed. Simulation results indicate that the proposed system is capable of shifting around 90% of the building’s electricity consumption for meeting the thermal demand from peak to off-peak hours on a daily basis. In addition, the annual power consumption and operating cost for running the HVAC system can be reduced by 6% and 34%, respectively, compared with the conventional air-source heat pump.
