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.
