This paper looks at how heat pumps (HPs) can work better with renewable energy sources like wind turbines (WTs), solar panels (PVs), and batteries (BESS). It reviews different types of converters—devices that help energy flow between these systems and the heat pump. The goal is to find which converter designs work best for efficiency, reliability, and cost.
The study highlights gaps in current research, especially for systems using solar power and heat pumps. These gaps need more research to improve how well these systems work together. The paper also suggests ideas for new designs and better control methods to make heat pumps and renewable energy a stronger, more sustainable combination.
