Heating Loads in dehumidification model

I'm researching RH control between split air conditioning and desiccant wheel, but now it confused me. In split air conditioning model, AirLoopHVAC:UnitaryHeatPump:Air to Airhas been added to simulate the actual buildings; the desiccant wheel model is similar as examplefiles DesiccantDehumidifierWithCompanionCoil.idf. This two model both has thier independent heating coils to meet heating loads, and both reheat/regenerated coil to dehumidification. But the heating energy between two models has a big difference in all year. image description image description What could go wrong in those two models?

Update:This screen capture was RH about desiccant wheel. In winter(hot and humid weather's winter), RH obtained a bad control.image description
