Division 3.2 Outline of methodology

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

In accordance with Annex VII to the Directive, the amount of renewable energy supplied by heat pump technologies (ERES) shall be calculated with the following formula:

E RES = Q usable * 1 − 1 ∕ SPF Q usable = H HP * P rated

Where:

— Qusable

  • the estimated total usable heat delivered by heat pumps [GWh],

    • — HHP

  • equivalent full load hours of operation [h],

    • — Prated

  • capacity of heat pumps installed, taking into account the lifetime of different types of heat pumps [GW],

    • — SPF

  • the estimated average seasonal performance factor (SCOPnet or SPERnet).

    • Default values for HHP and conservative default SPF values are set out in Tables 1 and 2 in Section 3.6.
