Thermal Energy Storage: missing features in OpenStudio
thermal storage, solar hot water and heat recovery in my view are important applications. Testing what is implemented in OpenStudio so far, however, with WaterHeater:Mixed
, the following interfaces seem to be missing:
+ Source Side Inlet Node Name
+ Source Side Outlet Node Name
I have not found any means in OpenStudio to specify these nodes.
For thermal storage applications, more objects in OpenStudio would be desirable, such as:
+WaterHeater:Stratified
+WaterHeater:HeatPump
+ThermalStorage:Ice:Simple
+ThermalStorage:Ice:Detailed
+TemperingValve
Are there any plans to include more of these objects in future releases ? What's the support for these features among OpenStudio users ?
There may be an IDF measure for this.
