Popis: Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are now widely used in community integrated energy systems (CIES) because of their high efficiency in energy conversion. However, the coefficient of performance (COP) of GSHPs is unstable if the soil temperature changes with seasonal imbalanced cooling and heating loads, thus downgrading the overall performance of CIES. In this paper, an annual optimization model for CIES that considers the seasonal balance of GSHPs is established. Then, a day-ahead operation strategy based on the pre-allocated load of the GSHP in the yearly balance is proposed while considering the uncertainties in daily conditions. The proposed strategy is validated on a practical CIES in China and assessed on a year-round time scale. The results show that the operation of CIES can be stable, economical and sustainable while ensuring the seasonal balance of the GSHP.
