What are the anticipated future improvements for the IGM (1,1) model regarding geothermal heat pump systems?

Conditions

• Applies to geothermal heat pump systems.
• Focuses on long-term accuracy rather than short-term.

Reasoning, step by step

1. Acknowledge the current limitation of the IGM (1,1) model to short-term forecasting.
2. Identify the goal of future research to extend its accuracy and reliability.
3. Conclude that the anticipated improvement is for longer time horizons.

Example

In the future, improvements are anticipated for the IGM (1,1) to make it even more accurate for geothermal heat pump systems for longer than just the short term.

Common misconceptions

• Believing that the current IGM (1,1) model is already optimized for long-term forecasting.
• Assuming that future improvements will focus on reducing the dataset size requirement rather than extending the prediction horizon.
