Minutes

ATES model

Model was merged

ISO 13790 models

Models are now merged: https://github.com/ibpsa/modelica-ibpsa/pull/1627

Alessandro Updates : BESTEST results have been updated. Still working on the Python file that generates the plots automatically (I have been in touch with Jianjun)

Prioritizing work on ATES. Only update is implementing the g faction as function of sun direction. Probably after Christmas. Michael says to control previous reduce order model based on EN.

PV collector, battery and electrical component models

One pull request ready. Paper presented. No updates since pull request comments, work in progress.

Modular heat pump

https://github.com/ibpsa/modelica-ibpsa/pull/1628.

Discussion about signal bus used only for outputs. It will be kept as is and not removed.

New state selection

https://github.com/ibpsa/modelica-ibpsa/issues/1412

Michael work on model initialization? Difference of pressure instead of absolute pressure (in theory is better, in numerical simulation it seems inconclusive it depends on the models, scaling seems to work better) Comparison speed vs accuracy? (speed and if models actually run). Maybe use bounded attribute of real variables.

OCT has been updated and it is a work in progress.

New action items

Open discussion points from in person meeting in Aachen:

New models to be developed/integrate:

  • Discussions about others and future development, such as
    • APPROVED
      • enthalpy and energy recovery wheel
      • validation of models
      • CDL integration
      • preconfigured controls
    • NEED MORE DISCUSSION
      • thermal storage
      • better dynamic ground coupling of long (uninsulated) district pipes
      • CHP and organic Rankine cycle
      • more geothermal (horizontal loop, slinky loop, others)

OpenSCALING project:
Kick-off meeting in November. If interested in an advisory board work with Oliver Lenord to issue NDA contract. Come up with requirements:
data source large models (compilation, simulation, optimization, UQ) provide library of models computationally expensive ones numerically problematic ones (see also https://ibpsa.github.io/modelica-challenge-problems/)
