HVAC model in Modelica

asked 4 years ago

I am trying to implement the HVAC model presented in "Functional mock-up unit for co-simulation import in EnergyPlus".

Is it possible to find this model at the buildings library? I am not sure what is the last box used before exporting the Qsensible and Qlatent.

I suggest starting from

https://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/mo...

You can then delete the demultiplexer and the multiplexer objects first. Next, you can connect the blocks from_degC1, perToRel1, from_degC, perToRel with real input connectors as shown on the figure you have posted.

For the outputs, you can get the latent and sensible enthalpy flow rate from the Buildings.Utilities.IO.BCVTB.MoistAirInterface component (bouBCVTB). That is the one connected to the box you are referring to.

I don't have the model any longer but I believe that the block was used to compute the average values of the outputs over the sampling period to replicate what is done in the bcvtb block found in the MoistAir example (This block should of course be deleted prior to exporting the model as an FMU 1.0 for co-simulation). You may be able to bypass the block if you are OK using the current values as opposed to averaged ones.
