2016-06-19 21:00:10 -0500 | asked a question | BCVTB + EnergyPlus8.2 - unable to set constant value of solar radiance through the whole simulation I am using EnergyPlus and BCVTB to simulate nonlinear plant model for my Matlab MPC controller. For purpose of experiment i need to set direct and diffuse solar radiance to constant value through the whole simulation. I am using EMS ExternalInterfaces:Actuators defined in this way in idf file:
In simulation (3 days long) i set those actuators to constant values (30, 10 W/m^2). When i read output variables (Site Diffuse Solar Radiation Rate per Area, Site Direct Solar Radiation Rate per Area) i get square wave (see attached plot), not (what i want) straight horizontal lines. Does anyone have any ideas what causes this behavior and how can i make those value constant in time? |
