2016-04-12 18:02:09 -0500 marked best answer How can i range parameters in jEPlus?

Hello,

I tried to practice jEPlus with tutorial and then I want to change parameters.

I practice with "5ZoneAirCooled IDF" (EnergyPlus example) file

i put values [0.1: 0.01: 0.6]

I thought in Preview section i can see [0.1, .011, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14 --- 0.6]

but i only can see the "error" sign.

My question is... (1) how can i set my own parameters? (infiltration, temperature, and U-value.) (2)Is there any standars like it's better to range my parameter? I think i can use "preliminary estimates of uncertainties in model parameters" in journal

Hello,

I wonder genopt output units..............

kW/m^2A ??? Btu?

Simulation Number Main Iteration Step Number Es_tot Es_heat Es_cool Es_light Q_heat Q_cool E_lights azimuth w_we_win w_ea_win tau 1 1 1 5.326033934984276E10 9.245513142770773E9 1.3714362890526493E10 3.0300463316545498E10 4.06802578281914E9 1.05600594257054E10 1.01001544388485E10 0.0 3.0 3.0 0.5 Initial point.

2015-05-25 21:44:17 -0500 asked a question Probabilistic distribution function in jEPlus

5.4 Latin Hypercube Sampling

Latin Hypercube Sampling (see LHS) is implemented in version 1.3. There are some limitations to the current implementation. Firstly, only the parameters in the first branch of the parameter tree are used in LHS. Secondly, if no probabilistic distribution function (PDF) is specified for a parameter, it is assumed to have a discrete distribution with each alternative value having the same probability. If a PDF is specified using @sample syntax, the number of samples param of the parameter will be overridden by the sample size param for the project.

Unlike the standard random sample methods, LHS does not require all jobs being created before taking a sample. It is therefore much faster and appropriate for large projects.


How can I specify parameters?? (just click LHS? )

I want to assume probabilistic distribution.

2015-05-14 21:05:28 -0500 asked a question What's wrong with me??

OMG.........

Am I have to give up to use jEPlus??

I really don't know!!!! It's been a month I tried to do this program.....

I put 3 input files and I used search tag as light

however...........it doesn't work... image description

please let me know how to run this program

2015-05-12 21:12:06 -0500 commented answer how to see results in jEPlus?

Okay!! I'll try! also how can i see results? there's no energy consumption... How can I use the outputs properly??

2015-05-11 20:10:28 -0500 commented question how to see results in jEPlus?

sure! I edited! You can see rvi file at 2nd image

2015-05-10 23:35:40 -0500 asked a question how to see results in jEPlus?

Hello,

I tried to see the results (SimResults and AllcombinedResults fiel)

However there's no energy consumption!

How can I see that?

What I want to do is just compare energy consumption and input files [infiltration, temperature, etc]

image description

Parametric analysis........(sensitivity analyis)

I want to make graphs but the results looked weird to me.

There's no energy consumption.

and.. I saw there's a 6833 warnings.

I think it's because @@ Search tag....

I change everything but i couldn't change temperature because there's no appropriate space!!!

also

What if I want to make parameters as 1. heating setpoint temperature 2. Equipment use 3. Lighting schedule

How can i make rvi correctly?


eplusout.eso

eplusout.csv

Zone thermostat air temperature

Electric equipment schedule

Lighting schedule

0


correct??

Can you please help me?

Thanks for reading!!!

Oh!! Thanks a lot !! However i couldn't find appropriate location in the idf file.... can you please check? There's no 0!

2015-04-20 05:31:23 -0500 asked a question How to run GenOpt?

Hello,

I tried to run GenOpt (example file) but I found a error sign on the left side of the picture...

Main Window

image description

1.My question is how can i run GenOpt and see the graph?? ( the error sign!!)

2.I just copied

Parameter{
Name = w;
Ini = 1.5; Step = 0.05;
Min = 1; Max = 2;
Type = CONTINUOUS;}
Function{
Name = h; Function = "multiply( %w%, 0.5 )";}

this one in the command( i just followed tutorial) is it okay just copy and paste in comand file?

3.And this

ObjectiveFunctionLocation{

    Name1 = E_tot; 
    Function1 = "add( %E_heat%, %E_cool% )";

     Name2 = E_heat; 
     Delimiter2 = "Eheat=";

     Name3 = E_cool;
     Delimiter3 = "Ecool=";

    Name4 = height; 
    Function4 = %h%;
    }

I also copied this one in optWinXP file?

Thanks!

Hello,

I tried to run jEPlus.... but it doesn't work again :(

image description

I think that's because I didn't define rvi file correctly.

image description

Is it right way to define rvi file?

or maybe i put parameter name, description, search tag arbitrary..........

( i only changed parameter item on the left side of the picture)

image description

i mean i didn't change @@~~ @@ in an IDF file.....

i saw " string must not naturally occur in an IDF file" ...........how can i change it.....?

My parameter is

1.infiltration rate [0.1: 0.01: 0.6]

2.setpoint temperature [18: 0.1:32]

I also execute 1000 lhs

Thank you so much!!!!

2015-04-14 20:56:59 -0500 marked best answer How can i make graph from jEPlus?

Hello,

I'm trying to see the results like the picture I attached(maybe to find the best option)

Acutally, I trying to make calibrationa and optimization.

Calibration through jEPlus and optimization throgh GenOpt.

How can I make a graph like below picture?

PMV is just an example!!

My parameter is

  1. infiltration rate [0.1: 0.01: 0.6]

  2. setpoint temperature [18: 0.1:32]

How can i make a graph from lots of data??

I did LHS(Latin hypercube sampling) 1000 times!

Am I have to choose AllCombinedResults??

Thanks a lot I did not fully undertand how to make rvi file... It is kind of tricky at the beggining, but I'm gonna study hard! :P
