Pull Request Description

Add 120V HPWH parameters into the model. We'll eventually want a "shared" and "dedicated" circuit HPWH model, so two different sets of parameters when it's a 120 V HPWH.

Based on unmet_wh_loads PR

Not urgent but... how do we want to denote 120 V HPWHs in hpxml? I can think of a couple of options:

  • Extension element(s) denoting 120V vs. 240V (the default) and if it's shared or dedicated
  • Add a new "WaterHeaterType" to hpxml called "120V heat pump water heater" along side the current "heat pump water heater". This might be confusing because 120V HPWHs are a subset of HPWHs though.

Definitely think extension elements are the way to go for "shared" vs. "dedicated" circuit versions of the product since that's a manufacturer specific thing. Rheem offers two different power levels for their HPWH, but AFAIK AO Smith has not followed suit. The AO Smith 120 V HPWH just hit the market about a month ago, so we don't have all the data to model that yet.

Thought this might be of interest: we've done a small scale ResStock test run for the dedicated circuit version, looking at our sizing routine and where you do and don't run out of hot water:

Next up is trying to wrap up #1502, especially around how we handle multiple WHs (including handling solar correctly). I'm also working on the performance map/controls inputs for the shared circuit version, which uses a different HP and therefore a different performance map.

Propose new HPXML elements for 120 V, dedicated vs shared? 120 V could apply to other appliances too (e.g., clothes dryers).
