SG Ready and heat pump external commands: how they work

SG Ready allows compatible heat pumps to accept external operating commands, for example from an energy management system or photovoltaics.

Basic principle

Through digital inputs, the heat pump can change its operating mode or setpoint depending on the available energy.

Possible states

Depending on the manufacturer, there may be normal operation, limitation, enhanced operation, or temporary temperature increase.

Proper interconnection

The contacts and logic must be connected exactly as specified in the manual of the specific model.

Benefit

SG Ready helps shift consumption to hours where cheaper or surplus energy is available.
