The energy consumption of an auxiliary module of the heat source device j belonging to the heat source group i on date \(d\), is calculated differently depending on the presence or absence of power generation function. The Presence or Absence of a power generation function is preset for each heat source device model. When models with or without power generation function are mixed in the same heat source group, the correction is applied only to the auxiliary modules of the model with power generation function.

The primary energy consumption and power consumption of heat source group are calculated by the following formula. "3.6" in the formula is the coefficient for converting kW to MJ/h (3600/1000).

\[ E_{AC,ref,main,i,d} = \sum_{j=1}^{N_{AC,ref,i,d}} E_{AC,ref,main,i,j,d} \times 3.6 \]
\[ E_{AC,ref,sub,i,d} = \sum_{j=1}^{N_{AC,ref,i,d}} E_{AC,ref,sub,i,j,d} \]
\[ E_{AC,ref,pump,i,d} = \sum_{j=1}^{N_{AC,ref,i,d}} E_{AC,ref,pump,i,j,d} \]
\[ E_{AC,ref,ctfan,i,d} = \sum_{j=1}^{N_{AC,ref,i,d}} E_{AC,ref,ctfan,i,j,d} \]
\[ E_{AC,ref,ctpump,i,d} = \sum_{j=1}^{N_{AC,ref,i,d}} E_{AC,ref,ctpump,i,j,d} \]

The annual primary energy consumption of a heat source group is calculated by the following formula.

\[ E_{AC,ref,i} = E_{AC,ref,main,i} + E_{AC,ref,sub,i} + E_{AC,ref,pump,i} + E_{AC,ref,ctfan,i} + E_{AC,ref,ctpump,i} \]
\[ E_{AC,ref,main,i} = \sum_{d=1}^{365} \left( E_{AC,ref,main,i,d} \times T_{AC,ref,i,d} \right) \]
\[ E_{AC,ref,sub,i} = \sum_{d=1}^{365} \left( E_{AC,ref,sub,i,d} \times T_{AC,ref,i,d} \right) \times 3600 \times 10^{-3} \times f_{prim,e} \]
\[ E_{AC,ref,pump,i} = \sum_{d=1}^{365} \left( E_{AC,ref,pump,i,d} \times T_{AC,ref,i,d} \right) \times 3600 \times 10^{-3} \times f_{prim,e} \]
\[ E_{AC,ref,ctfan,i} = \sum_{d=1}^{365} \left( E_{AC,ref,ctfan,i,d} \times T_{AC,ref,i,d} \right) \times 3600 \times 10^{-3} \times f_{prim,e} \]
\[ E_{AC,ref,ctpump,i} = \sum_{d=1}^{365} \left( E_{AC,ref,ctpump,i,d} \times T_{AC,ref,i,d} \right) \times 3600 \times 10^{-3} \times f_{prim,e} \]
