Figure 5
Two graphs are presented side by side horizontally. On the left, the graph is labeled “(a) Comparison of simulated and measured hourly P V power generation on peak summer days”. The curves are labeled an“Hourly measured P V power” and “Hourly simulated P V power”. The left vertical axis is labeled “P V power in kilowatts”, ranging from 0 to 12 in increments of 2. The left horizontal axis shows the time labels at 0:00, 12:00, and at 0:00, with dates on 08 January 2021, 10 February 2021, and 28 December 2021. The measured curve is a solid line, and the simulated curve is a dashed line. For each date, the curves begin at 0 at 0:00, rise to a peak near 8 kilowatts around 12:00, and return to 0 at 0:00. On the right, the graph is labeled “(b) Comparison of simulated and measured hourly heat pump power use on a peak winter day”. The curves are labeled an“Hourly measured heat pump power use” and an“Hourly simulated heat pump power use”. The right vertical axis is labeled “Heat pump power in kilowatts”, ranging from 0 to 1.6 in increments of 0.4. The right horizontal axis shows time labels at 0:00, 12:00, and at 0:00, with dates on 18 June 2021, 07 July 2021, and 07 August 2021. The measured curve is a solid line, and the simulated curve is a dashed line. For each date, the curves begin at 0 at 0:00, rise to peaks at between 1.0 and 1.2 kilowatts near 12:00, and return to 0 at 0:00. Note: All numerical data values are approximated.Comparison of measured and simulated PV power and heat pump power use during typical days in summer and winter. Source: Authors' own work
