Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Validation

Collection of validation models

Information

This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.

Note that most validation models contain simple input data which may not be realistic, but for which the correct output can be obtained through an analytic solution. The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against these solutions. These model outputs are stored as reference data and used for continuous validation whenever models in the library change.

Validation model for collector according to EN12975 with different settings for nPanel

Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Validation.EN12975NPanels

Information

This model validates the solar collector model Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.EN12975 for the case where the number of panels is 1 for the instance solCol and 10 for the instance solCol1. The instances difHeaGai and difHeaLos compare the heat gain and heat loss between the two models. The output of these blocks should be zero, except for rounding errors.

Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Validation.EN12975_Series

Information

This model validates the solar collector model Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.EN12975 for the case where one model has multiple panels in series, versus the case where two models are in series, each having one panel.

Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Validation.ExtremeAmbientConditions Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Validation.ExtremeAmbientConditions

Validation model for to ensure that collectors do not freeze or boil

Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Validation.ExtremeAmbientConditions

Information

This model validates the correct implementation of the heat transfer to the collector when ambient temperatures are very low or irradiation is very large. It applies a ramp boundary condition that reduces the ambient temperature to -60ˆC to verify that the collector fluid temperature does not drop below Medium.T_min. Afterwards, the solar irradiation is increased to overheat the collector. If the fluid temperature approaches Medium.T_max, then the solar heat gain is reduced to zero. Ensuring these bounds is important as otherwise, the collector model would trigger an assertion and the simulation would stop. The tested collector models are Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.ASHRAE93 and Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.EN12975.

Note that the medium has been declared as Buildings.Media.Water(T_min=273.15, T_max=273.15+100) to set the two bounds for the water temperature.

Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Validation.FlatPlate Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Validation.FlatPlate

Validation model for FlatPlate

Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Validation.FlatPlate

Information

This model was used to validate the Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.ASHRAE93 solar collector model against TRNSYS data. Data files are used to ensure that the Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.ASHRAE93 solar collector model and the TRNSYS model use the same inlet and weather conditions. The solar collector model must reference the Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Data.GlazedFlatPlate.FP_TRNSYSValidation data record when comparing model results to the stored TRNSYS results.

The solar collector temperature of the Modelica model has a spike in the morning. At this time, there is solar irradiation on the collector but no mass flow rate, which leads to an increase in temperature.
