Minutes

Building Simulation 2025 Paper

Michael will come out with an outline to be shared.

Geothermal models

Is anyone working on

  • inclined boreholes
  • energy piles
  • adding option for coaxial pipes to existing borehole/borefield models

Heat pumps

Is anyone working on

  • 4 pipe AWHP
  • 6 pipe WWHP
  • Dynamic model for defrost

ATES model

Alessandro had a meeting with TU Delft, where we agreed on a set of simulation cases that vary based on three parameters: injection temperature (5°C, 20°C, 40°C), building size (10 kW, 100 kW, 1000 kW), and storage cycle (daily, weekly, and seasonal). The TU Delft team is currently running these simulations using SEAWAT. Once they complete their task, we will compare their results with those obtained from the Modelica-based simplified model.

ISO 13790 models

PR ready to be merged. One model and documentation copy pasted?

PV collector, battery and electrical component models

No updates.

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.

CHP and organic Rankine cycle

#Issue1921 Fabian approved pull request, minor things Casper wants to address. Casper mentioned Philosophical question regarding the meaning of Validation model in IBPSA. Casper added a Python script to convert CoolProp fluid properties to Modelica points records. Add script to Resource folder.

Integration of new models into the library

New models to be developed/integrate:

  • Discussions about others and future development, such as
    • APPROVED
      • enthalpy and energy recovery wheel (Oakridge national lab is working on a model for the Buildings that could be integrated)
      • validation of models (No updates)
      • CDL integration (No updates)
      • preconfigured controls (No updates)
    • NEED MORE DISCUSSION
      • NEW: Zoned borefields (https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/pull/3812) (could be moved to IBPSA)
      • thermal storage (No updates)
      • better dynamic ground coupling of long district pipes (PR merged into Buildings, to be moved to IBPSA)
      • more geothermal (horizontal loop, slinky loop, others) (Massimo could look into specific modelling efforts that have been done by co-workers)

OpenSCALING project updates

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/)
