Abstract
A method of operating a ground-source heat pump includes generating a thermal power based on a thermal communication of the ground-source heat pump with a borefield, the thermal power at least partly covering a thermal load of a facility. The method includes receiving a temperature associated with the borefield and controlling the thermal power based on the temperature. The method further includes maintaining the temperature within a temperature range based on controlling the thermal power, wherein the ground-source heat pump is configured to cause the temperature to fall outside of the temperature range at a full capacity of the thermal power.
