Minutes

Jelger solat thermal model presentation

Jelger presented an analysis on the Buildings solar thermal models within the Modelica libraries. He pointed out a bug that was addressed in issue #Buildings3597 and further modifications (i.e. updating records), that can be found in issue #Buildings3604 and are explained in the presentation shared in this month meeting on this repository.

ATES model

Alessandro is currently working on validation against measurements (paper under preparation). Also exploring the need of adding vertical heat conduction between the aquifer and the top and bottom ground layers.

ISO 13790 models

Alessandro expects to have time to work on the new BESTEST validations in Feb/Mar next year.

PV collector, battery and electrical component models

Laura is addressing review's comments, especially related to style for the documentation. One good example is the documentation of the movers.

Modular heat pump

Very close to being finished, just minor iterations. Expected to be done by the end of the year.

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.

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 (Ettore is working on a PR for buildings library, almost ready for review)
      • 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/)
