Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for controlling setting of reversible heat pump assemblies () of a district thermal energy distribution system () in either a heating mode or a cooling mode. The method comprises: determining, at a control server, a first set of the reversible heat pump assemblies () to be set in the heating mode during a future time period; determining, at the control server, a second set of the reversible heat pump assemblies () to be set in the cooling mode during the future time period, wherein the second set of the reversible heat pump assemblies () is separate from the first set of the reversible heat pump assemblies (); sending, from the control server () to the reversible heat pump assemblies () of the first set of the reversible heat pump assemblies (), a respective control message to set the respective reversible heat pump assembly () in the heating mode for the future time period; sending, from the control server () to the reversible heat pump assemblies () of the second set of the reversible heat pump assemblies (), a respective control message to set the respective reversible heat pump assembly () in the cooling mode for the future time period; and setting the respective reversible heat pump assembly () in either the heating mode or the cooling mode for the future time period.
