It means BHE has a constant <flow_rate> while the inflow temperature following the values defined in the <curves>.
* TemperatureCurveFlowCurve:\
It means both the BHE inflow rate and temperature values are following the corresponding curves.
* PowerCurveFlowCurve:\
It means both the BHE thermal load and flow rate values are following the corresponding curves.
* BuildingPowerCurveConstantFlow:\
It means the BHE thermal load is following a building heat load depending on a COP curve while the flow rate is kept as a constant.
The unit of <power> is in $\mathrm{W}$ and <flow_rate> is in $\mathrm{m^{3}/s}$. For heating applications, thermal energy is extracted from the subsurface, then a negative power value should be given. It is vice versa for cooling applications.
