Hi,

I would like to make a parametric study with Genopt to find the best parameter value of an PID to control my HVAC.

I have an ems program like that :

!- =========== ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: ENERGYMANAGEMENTSYSTEM:PROGRAM =========== EnergyManagementSystem:Program, SET Param = 0.4, !- A28 SET Consigne = Param* HR_sum, !- A29

!- =========== ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: ENERGYMANAGEMENTSYSTEM:GLOBALVARIABLE ===========

EnergyManagementSystem:GlobalVariable, Param, !-A1

I would like to determine the best value "Param" with genopt that minimize my humidity simulated curve with an measured humidity profile.

How can I set some value of the global variable "Param" with genopt ?

Thanks a lot

I'm not sure I understand what's your actual problem.

In IDF: SET Param = %param%

Then you add it as a GenOpt param in command.txt

Vary {
 Parameter{    // my EMS Global Param
    Name    = param;
    Min     = 0.1;
    Ini     = 3;
    Max     = 5.9;
    Step    = 0.2;
  }
}

Similar to the example files that GenOpt ships with, no? eg: https://github.com/lbl-srg/GenOpt/blo...

Thank you for your reply. I simply resolved my problem.

Actually, I was working with Excalibem (write automatically the idf file and genopt file), and directly with Excalibem it was not easy to do this. But forcing %param% in the initial idf file for Excalibem turn it very easy.

Thanks.
