Example model to test the possible combinations between line and load models

Buildings.Electrical.DC.Lines.Examples.DCLines

Information

This model shows a DC grid with 10 loads and 16 cables. Each cable is of length l = 10 meters, a parameter that can be modified. Each load can be either be a full nonlinear model, or be replaced by the linearized version. The parameter linearLoads = false can be used to switch between linear and nonlinear implementation.

This model can be used to test how the linearized loads are affected by the voltage drop caused by the lines. The longer the distance between the load and the source, the bigger is the voltage drop and thus the error introduced by the linearization.

Information

This model is the linearized version of the model Buildings.Electrical.DC.Lines.Examples.DCLines and can be used to test how the linearized loads are affected by the voltage drop caused by the lines. The longer the distance between the load and the source, the bigger is the voltage drop and thus the error introduced by the linearization.

Buildings.Electrical.DC.Lines.Examples.RCModel Buildings.Electrical.DC.Lines.Examples.RCModel

Example model to test for the DC RC two port model

Buildings.Electrical.DC.Lines.Examples.RCModel

Information

This model shows how to use a two port resistance-capacitance model. The example also shows a comparison between the dynamic and steady state version model that can be selected by changing the boolean flag use_C.

In this example the RC connects an ideal constant voltage source with a short circuit. The steady state current value passing through the RC model depends just on the value of R.

The RC model implement a T-model to represent the electric connection between the two connectors (see Buildings.Electrical.DC.Lines.TwoPortRCLine for more details).

The capacitance C see an equivalent Thevenin's resistance that is equal to REQ = 0.5 R and thus the time constant associated to the capacitance is

τ = REQ C = 0.5 R C = 2 seconds,

thus the duration of transient period is about 10 seconds.
