Participants

| Michael Wetter, LBNL | H. Casper Fu, LBNL | Ettore Zanetti, LBNL | Louis Hermans, KU leuven | Alessandro Maccarini, Aalbord University | Fabian Wuellhorst, RTWH Aachen | Filip Jorissen, Builtwins

Minutes

  • Discussion on radiator model that assumes constant fraction for radiation and convection. This is not the case at lower temperatures (issue with retrofits where heat pumps are used). Fabian may take a look at possible improvements on the model to address this issue.
  • Discussion on weekly schedule format, Drop boilerplate header double tabn(x,x). Filip to work on implementation.

ATES model

Send email to colleagues to check if they can have detailed simulations results for validation.

ISO 13790 models

Alessandro Met with Jianjun. Could not test script on Alessandro's computer due to a timeout issue. Alessandro is updating the testing script to avoid the this time out issue and testing with Buildings library ISO model.

PV collector, battery and electrical component models

Laura should be able to finish up the pull request this month.

Modular heat pump

Fabian implemented changes proposed by Antoine. Antoine will re-check changes. Open Modelica issue was with parameters in records that was due to OpenModelica not handling those correctly. For now to be put on exclude list.

New state selection

https://github.com/ibpsa/modelica-ibpsa/issues/1412

Michael work on model initialization? Difference of pressure instead of absolute pressure (in theory is better, in numerical simulation it seems inconclusive it depends on the models, scaling seems to work better) Comparison speed vs accuracy? (speed and if models actually run). Maybe use bounded attribute of real variables.

OCT has been updated and it is a work in progress.

Solar Thermal Model

First PR merged by Michael. Now new changes will be added: New changes:

  • Parallel and series at the same time (implemented and needs review)
  • IAM Improve incidence angle modifier function (now 0-60, but datasheets 0-90), check issue3604 for plots. Jelger wants to switch to a cubic spline interpolation but Users have to be careful on setting the points (at least 3 points) one close to 0 one close to 90. Michael and Filip suggest to add assertion and user warning.

Integration of new models into the library

New models to be developed/integrate:

  • Discussions about others and future development, such as
    • APPROVED
      • enthalpy and energy recovery wheel (Oakridge national lab is working on a model for the Buildings that could be integrated)
      • validation of models (No updates)
      • CDL integration (No updates)
      • preconfigured controls (No updates)
    • NEED MORE DISCUSSION
      • thermal storage (No updates)
      • better dynamic ground coupling of long district pipes (PR merged into Buildings, to be moved to IBPSA)
      • CHP and organic Rankine cycle (Casper is working on a PR for Buildings library)
      • more geothermal (horizontal loop, slinky loop, others) (Massimo could look into specific modelling efforts that have been done by co-workers)

OpenSCALING project updates

Kick-off meeting in November. If interested in an advisory board work with Oliver Lenord to issue NDA contract. Come up with requirements:
data source large models (compilation, simulation, optimization, UQ) provide library of models computationally expensive ones numerically problematic ones (see also https://ibpsa.github.io/modelica-challenge-problems/)
