Modeling & Simulation

At EnergyAE, we bring deep expertise and practical experience in the modeling and simulation of solar and heat pump hot water systems for both residential and commercial applications. Using advanced tools like TRNSYS and other simulation platforms, we go far beyond estimation — we provide data-driven insights that help clients design, optimize, and implement energy systems with confidence and clarity.

‍

‍i. TRNSYS-Based Simulation

We specialize in transient system simulation using TRNSYS to accurately replicate and analyze the performance of thermal and electrical systems.

Our services include:

• Detailed TRNSYS modeling of heat pump systems under various real-world conditions
• Simulation of air-source and water-source heat pumps
• System-level optimization of energy flow, component sizing, and operational strategies
• Validation of system behavior over time and across climates

This allows our clients to evaluate performance long before physical installation, saving time and reducing uncertainty.  Get in touch with us today.

ii. Energy Performance Analysis

We help improve the energy performance of heating systems and industrial processes through predictive modeling. Our services include:

• Calculation of Coefficient of Performance (COP) across operating scenarios
• Performance prediction under variable loads and environmental conditions
• Sensitivity analysis to guide decision-making on design and operation
• Identification of energy-saving opportunities before investment

iii. Renewable Energy Integration

EnergyAE supports the integration of renewable energy systems through high-resolution simulations and system design. Our capabilities include:

• Design and performance simulation of solar PV systems
• Modeling hybrid systems such as heat pumps combined with solar thermal or PV
• Integration planning with building energy systems, storage, and demand-side controls
• Evaluation of renewable fraction and seasonal alignment

iv. Control Strategy Optimization

To further improve system performance, we model advanced control strategies, helping clients unlock the full potential of their installations.This includes:

• Simulation of real-time control, including dynamic scheduling
• Defrost cycle optimization and temperature setpoint management
• Fault detection modeling for early maintenance triggers
• Control logic development for smart systems

v. Incentive Scheme Compliance Modeling

We help clients maximize returns by aligning system design with Australian energy incentive programs, including:

• Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
• Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs)
• Energy Saving Certificates (ESCs)

We simulate system configurations to:

• Ensure compliance with technical eligibility requirements
• Maximize the number of certificates earned
• Support documentation and audit processes for government or utility schemes

vi. Environmental and Economic Impact Assessment

Our simulations also inform policy, investment, and environmental strategy by evaluating the broader impact of systems. We provide:‍

• Energy cost savings over time
• Return on investment (ROI) modeling
• Recommendations for policy incentives or subsidy development
