System and Method for Controlling a Heat Pump

Energy system () comprising an inverter () for converting an electrical direct voltage into an alternating voltage which can be used to supply electrical consumption units () of the energy system () and can be converted into heat by means of at least one heat pump () of the energy system (), characterised in that in that the heat pump () can be controlled by means of a system control () of the energy system () via a control interface () in accordance with a heat pump configuration file (WPK) loaded specifically for the at least one heat pump () in a data memory () of the system control (), wherein a communication of the system control () with a heat pump control () provided for the heat pump () is effected in accordance with at least one control type of the heat pump () indicated in the heat pump configuration file (WPK).
