Buildings.Obsolete.Utilities.IO.Python36.Examples.KalmanFilter Buildings.Obsolete.Utilities.IO.Python36.Examples.KalmanFilter

Kalman filter implemented in Python and called from Modelica

Buildings.Obsolete.Utilities.IO.Python36.Examples.KalmanFilter

Information

This example demonstrates the implementation of a Kalman filter in Python. The model generates a uniform random number, which is computed in the Python file KalmanFilter.py by the function random(seed). This random number is added to a sine wave and then sent to the function filter(u) in the above Python file. The function filter(u) implements a Kalman filter that estimates and returns the state. The function saves its temporary variables to a file called tmp-kalman.json.

When simulating this model, the figure below will be generated which shows the sine wave, the sine wave plus noise, which is input to the Kalman filter, and the estimated state which is the output of the Kalman filter.

Buildings.Obsolete.Utilities.IO.Python36.Examples.SimpleRoom Buildings.Obsolete.Utilities.IO.Python36.Examples.SimpleRoom

Simple room model implemented in Python that outputs the temperature and the energy

Buildings.Obsolete.Utilities.IO.Python36.Examples.SimpleRoom

Information

This example demonstrates the implementation of a simple room model that is implemented in the Python module Resources/Python-Sources/SimpleRoom.py. The Python model computes a first-order response to the room model. It returns the current room air temperature and the energy consumed during the simulation. The Python module also passes an object from one call to the next. This object contains the past room temperature, energy and time when the function was called, stored as a Python dictionary. This illustrates how Python data structures can be passed between function calls, thereby enabling for example to call some (memory-intensive) machine learning program, implemented in Python, from a Modelica block that may then pass the output of this program to a controller.

Note that this example is for demonstration only. An implementation in Modelica would be much simpler and computationally more efficient.
