annote={Quote: "One of the main conclusions of this study is that, when comparing a modulating heat pump with an on-off heat pump system, the respective SPFs values are not the only elements to be considered. Other variables are significant, such as the heat pump capacities for a given peak load or the volume of the thermal storage. Finally, cycling losses cannot be neglected when evaluating heat pump annual performance. When an on-off system is sized to face a high fraction of the building peak load, cycling losses might exceed 12% of the whole electric consumption of the system, particularly if the volume of the thermal storage is small."},
