modelling package means versions 15 and 16 of the Transient Systems Simulation Program software package produced by the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Klein, S.A. et al, TRNSYS 16: A Transient System Simulation Program, Solar Energy Laboratory, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA and Klein, S.A. et al, TRNSYS 15: A Transient System Simulation Program, Solar Energy Laboratory, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA).
Note:  Information about the package, including its distributors, could in December 2016 be viewed on the University of Wisconsin-Madison's website (http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/index.html).
volumetric capacity means the total volume of water in litres that can be held in the storage tank, as defined in clause 1.5.24 of AS/NZS 2712:2007.

6 Method to determine number of STCs
(1) For a model of SWH that is a small SWH or ASHP, the method to be used to determine the number of certificates that may be created for the model is set out in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to this Determination.
Note: Certificates cannot be created for a SWH that is an ASHP if it has a volumetric capacity of more than 425 litres – see subsection 21(4) of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000.
(2) For a model of SWH that is a large SWH, the method to be used to determine the number of certificates that may be created for the model is set out in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to this Determination.
(3) The methods are to be used in accordance with the TRNSYS Modelling Guidelines set out in Part 3 of Schedule 1 to this Determination.

7 References to other documents
For the avoidance of doubt, unless the contrary intention appears, any reference to a document or any other writing is a reference to that document or other writing as in force at the time this determination is made.

Schedule 1 – Methods

Part 1 – Method for solar waters heaters with a volumetric capacity up to and including 700 litres

Division A – Introduction

This Part sets out the method for determining the number of STCs that may be created for models of SWHs that are small SWHs and ASHPs.

Division B – Method

The method for determining the number of STCs that may be created for a small SWH or ASHP is based on AS/NZS 4234:2008 and AS/NZS 4234:2008 Amendments 1 and 2 with additional requirements specified in this Part.
Note:  Guidance on whether an SWH that is a combined solar and heat pump water heater is to be considered an ASHP or a small SWH could in December 2016 be viewed on the Clean Energy Regulator's website (http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/RET/Pages/Forms and resources/Forms-and-resources-for-manufacturers.aspx).
Small SWHs shall be rated for climate zones 1 to 4 specified in AS/NZS 4234:2008.  ASHPs
