Abstract
This paper introduces a new method for modeling heat pump systems in district energy networks. A new TRNSYS component is developed to simultaneously manage heating and cooling loads. The heat pump component prioritizes meeting both cooling and heating demands through heat recovery between the two loops. When these demands are unbalanced, the heat pump component dynamically interacts with an external renewable source or sink to fully meet the loads, simplifying the simulation of hybrid modes within district energy systems. The proposed heat pump model relies on an improved performance map that includes outlet temperatures at the condenser and evaporator, as well as a newly defined compressor sequence number (CSN), providing a more accurate representation of heat pump operation under varying conditions. This method improves upon traditional part-load ratio (PLR) correction methods, ensuring consistency when both heating and cooling are considered useful effects. The paper describes the implementation of the component in the simulation software TRNSYS and demonstrates its usefulness through a case study for a mixed neighborhood in Montréal, Quebec, Canada.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
