Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.Validation

Collection of models that validate the utilities blocks of the CDL

Information

This package contains models that validate the blocks in Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.

The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against analytical solutions. These model outputs are stored as reference data to allow continuous validation whenever models in the library change.

Package Content

Name	Description
Assert	Validate the Assert block
SunRiseSet	Test model for the block SunRiseSet
SunRiseSetNegativeStartTime	Test model for the block SunRiseSet with negative start time
SunRiseSetPositiveStartTime	Test model for the block SunRiseSet with positive start time

Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.Validation.Assert

Validate the Assert block

Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.Validation.Assert

Information

Validation test for the block Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.Assert.

Modelica definition

model Assert "Validate the Assert block" Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.Assert assert( message="input became false") "Trigger warning and print warning message"; Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Logical.Sources.Pulse booPul( period=0.5) "Output boolean pulse"; equation connect(booPul.y,assert.u); end Assert;

Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.Validation.SunRiseSet

Test model for the block SunRiseSet

Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.Validation.SunRiseSet

Information

This example includes four instances of the Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.SunRiseSet block: Two normal cases, an arctic and antarctic case. The normal cases are represented by San Francisco and Sydney, where there is a sunrise and sunset every day.

Above the arctic circle and below the antarctic circle, in winter and summer there is a period in which there is no sunset and sunrise for a few days. Hence, the output signals of the block remain constant.

Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.Validation.SunRiseSetNegativeStartTime

Test model for the block SunRiseSet with negative start time

Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.Validation.SunRiseSetNegativeStartTime

Information

This example includes 4 tests for the Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Utilities.SunRiseSet block: 2 normal cases, an arctic and antarctic case. The normal cases are represented by San Francisco and Sydney, where there is a sunrise and sunset every day.

This model starts the simulation from -12 hour instead of 0.
