steady state energy balance
Iβm trying to perform a steady-state energy balance analysis and compare the results with EnergyPlus outputs. In my setup, all internal schedules are constant throughout the year. Conceptually, I expect the hourly energy use to follow something like:
Energy use=π elec load+ππ΄Ξπ+πΛπΆπΞπ+mΛβππΞwβ/COP Iβd like to understand:
How does EnergyPlus internally handle or does the energy balance at each time step?Has anyone tried to reproduce or verify the EnergyPlus energy balance externally using this type of simplified steady-state formulation?
@mep_engineer what are the components of your steady-state energy balance above?
Also, are you verifying against an experimental setup with measured data, or something else?
Yes, the goal is to confirm whether the EnergyPlus results are consistent with the physical energy balance and accurately represent the systemβs performance.
