OS Oliver S. Student Renewables & Environment ### "Einfache Handhabung und umfangreiche Möglichkeiten" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 April 10, 2024 Für meine Masterarbeit war das Tool sehr hilfreich und ich würde es definitiv weiterempfehlen. Pros nPro ist wirklich einfach zu handhaben und das Tool hat eine tolle und benutzerfreundliche Oberfläche, die für jeden Anwender geeignet ist. Man kann viele unterschiedliche Parameter anpassen und kann somit auf einfache Weise die Sensitivität untersuchen. Außerdem deckt das Tool vielfältige Energiesysteme ab und kann in vielen Anwendungen genutzt werden. Cons Ich hatte allerdings Schwierigkeiten beim Einlesen eigener Last- und Erzeugungsprofile und musste die Standardeinstellungen von nPro übernehmen. Damit weichen die Ergebnisse von den realistischen Werten etwas ab.

Deutlich leichter für Quartiere zu nutzen als z. B. Polysun. Cons Manchmal wird bei Berechnungen die Wärmepumpe fast nicht berücksichtigt, obwohl dies unsere Hauptwärmelieferant sein soll und BHKW und Kessel nur für Spitzenlast ausgelegt sein soll. Hier wäre eine Option zum anklicken wünschenswert.

Vielleicht könnte man zu Beginn die Benutzeroberfläche noch etwas eindeutiger gestalten und mit Begriffen wie Fernwärmenetz etc. arbeiten. Damit man für jedes Projekt sofort weiß, was man anklickt. (Auch wenn man mit etwas logischem Denken schon durchkommt :)) Review source Vendor Referred - Incentive Offered: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
