I am designing / modelling new energy production hardware using open modellico.
I am modelling hydraulics --> electricity, electrolysis --> hydrogen , hydrogen --> electricity vis a turbine.
The hydraulics is affects by the physical location on water because it uses wave energy.
I would like to loop my system with buildings modelled so I can really see the real feedback loops. Although its not relevant ti this firm, I will then be able ti optimise the energy device for real world usage patterns. I can also employ particle swarm optimisation to improve the performance of the local and global system. I include this because it has relevance ti the autotune project at the DOE.
I noticed that the system uses IDF file format
Is energy plus using some aspects / architectural patterns of open modellico ?
How can I link my new hardware into energy plus to create an integrated system, where the solver and the equilibrium flows through both as a closed loop system.
I am happy to develop code and contribute code if needed.
Perhaps some links to bring some sunlight on this area will help.
