Modelling & Simulation
EnergyAE leverages deep expertise and advanced tools like TRNSYS to deliver data-driven modelling and simulation of solar and heat pump hot water systems.
At EnergyAE, we bring deep expertise and practical experience in the modelling and simulation of solar and heat pump hot water systems for both residential and commercial applications. Using advanced tools like TRNSYS and other simulation platforms, we go far beyond estimation — we provide data-driven insights that help clients design, optimise, and implement energy systems with confidence and clarity.
TRNSYS-Based Simulation
We specialise in transient system simulation using TRNSYS to accurately replicate and analyse the performance of thermal and electrical systems. Our services include:
Detailed TRNSYS modelling of heat pump systems under various real-world conditions
Simulation of air-source and water-source heat pumps
System-level optimisation of energy flow, component sizing, and operational strategies
Validation of system behavior over time and across climates
This allows our clients to evaluate performance long before physical installation, saving time and reducing uncertainty. Get in touch with us today.
Incentive Scheme Compliance Modelling
We help clients maximise returns by aligning system design with Australian energy incentive programs, including:
Small-scale technology Certificates (STCs) through the CER
Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) through VEU activities 1D, 3C, and 44
Energy Saving Certificates (ESCs) through the NSW ESS HEER and IHEAB methods
We maximise certificates earned, ensure compliance with technical eligibility requirements and support documentation and audit processes for government or utility schemes
Renewable Energy Integration
EnergyAE supports the integration of renewable energy systems through high-resolution simulations and system design. Our capabilities include:
Design and performance simulation of solar PV systems
Modelling hybrid systems such as heat pumps combined with solar thermal or PV
Integration planning with building energy systems, storage, and demand-side controls
Evaluation of renewable fraction and seasonal alignment
This enables clients to assess the technical and economic benefits of renewable energy integration before implementation, ensuring systems are designed for maximum efficiency, reliability, and long-term value.
Energy Performance Analysis
We help improve the energy performance of heating systems and industrial processes through predictive modelling. Our services include:
Calculation of Coefficient of Performance (COP) across operating scenarios
Performance prediction under variable loads and environmental conditions
Sensitivity analysis to guide decision-making on design and operation
Identification of energy-saving opportunities before investment
By quantifying performance and highlighting efficiency gains upfront, we help clients make confident design and operational choices, reducing risk and improving long-term energy savings.
Control Strategy Optimisation
To further improve system performance, we model advanced control strategies, helping clients unlock the full potential of the installations. This includes:
Simulation of real-time control, including dynamic scheduling
Defrost cycle optimisation and temperature setpoint management
Fault detection modelling for early maintenance triggers
Control logic development for smart systems
With optimised control logix, clients can achieve more efficient, higher rebate systems, improving end user experience.
Environmental and Economic Impact Assessment
Our simulations also inform policy, investment, and environmental strategy by evaluating the broader impact of systems. We provide:
Energy cost savings over time
Return on investment (ROI) modelling
Recommendations for policy incentives or subsidy development
Our insights support strategic planning at both project and policy levels, helping stakeholders evaluate trade-offs, optimise investment, and accelerate the transition to cleaner energy systems.
