Popis: With rapidly developing new energy technologies, rational energy planning has become an important area of research. Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) have shown themselves to be highly efficient. effective in reducing building or district energy consumption and operating costs. However, when optimizing integrated energy systems, most studies simplify the GSHP model by using the rated coefficient of performance (COP) of the GSHP unit, neglecting factors such as soil, buried piping, and actual operating conditions. This simplification leads to a deviation from the actual operation of GSHPs, creating a gap between the derived operational guidelines and real-world performance. Therefore, this paper examines a hotel equipped with photovoltaic panels, a GSHP, and a hybrid energy storage unit. By constructing models of the underground pipes, GSHP units, and pumps, this paper considers the thermal exchanger between the underground pipes and the soil, the thermal pump, and the operating status of the unit. The purpose is to optimize the running expenses using an enhanced mote swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to calculate the optimal operating strategy of system equipment. Compared to the simplified energy system optimization model, the detailed GSHP unit model shows a 21.36% increase in energy consumption, a 13.64% decrease in the mean COP of the GSHP unit, and a 44.4% rise in system running expenses. The differences in the GSHP model affect the energy consumption results of the unit by changing the relationship between the power consumption of the PV system and the GSHP at different times, which in turn affects the operation of the energy storage unit. The final discussion highlights significant differences in the calculated system operating results derived from the two models, suggesting that these may profoundly affect the architectural and enhancement processes of more complex GSHP configurations.
