Electrification of Heat Demonstration Project: Heat Pump Performance Raw Data, 2020-2022

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The interim heat pump monitoring datasets are a key output of the Electrification of Heat Demonstration (EoH) project, a government-funded heat pump trial assessing the feasibility of heat pumps across the UK’s diverse housing stock. These datasets are provided in both cleansed and raw form and allow analysis of the initial performance of the heat pumps installed in the trial. From the datasets, insights such as heat pump seasonal performance factor (a measure of the heat pump's efficiency), heat pump performance during the coldest day of the year, and half-hourly performance to inform peak demand can be gleaned.This dataset provides interim performance data collected between November 2020 and August 2022. Heat pumps in this trial will continue to be monitored until September 2023. Further heat pump performance will be available in the future once performance monitoring has ceased and the data have been analysed.The EoH project was funded by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. From 2023, it is covered by the new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.Data availabilityThis study comprises the raw data from the EoH project, which is only available to registered UKDS users. Only the summary data file is available via standard UKDS EUL download, due to the large size of the full raw data files. To obtain the full set of raw data, registered UKDS users should:Download the summary dataset, and then Contact the UKDS HelpDesk, quoting study number 9049, to arrange FTP access for the raw data. When unzipped, the raw data available via FTP contain 742 CSV files. Most of the individual CSV files are too large to open in Excel. Before requesting FTP, users should ensure they have sufficient computing facilities to analyse the data. The UKDS also holds an accompanying open-access study, SN 9050 Electrification of Heat Demonstration Project: Heat Pump Performance Cleansed Data, 2020-2022. This contains the cleansed data from the EoH project, which does not require UKDS registration to access. However, since the data are of a similar large size to this study, only the summary dataset is available to download; an order must be placed for FTP delivery of the remaining cleansed data.The Python code used to cleanse the raw data and then perform the analysis is accessible via the Energy Systems Catapult GithubMain Topics:Heat Pump Performance across the BEIS funded heat pump trial, The Electrification of Heat (EoH) Demonstration Project.  See the documentation for data contents.
