Base subsystem with geothermal borefield

Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Combined.Subsystems.Borefield

Information

This is a model for a borefield system with a variable speed pump and a mixing valve modulated to maintain a maximum inlet temperature.

The system is controlled based on the logic described in Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Combined.Controls.Borefield. The pump flow rate is considered proportional to the pump speed under the assumption of a constant flow resistance in the borefield loop. This assumption is justified by the connection of the loop to the buffer tanks, and by the additional assumption that the bypass branch of the mixing valve is balanced with the direct branch.

(The parameter from_dp of the valve model is set to false to simplify the system of algebraic equations, which, in this specific case, alleviates non-convergence issues.)

Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface (Partial model transporting fluid between two ports without storing mass or energy).

Base subsystem with heat recovery chiller

Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Combined.Subsystems.Chiller

Information

This is a model for a chiller system with constant speed evaporator and condenser pumps, and mixing valves modulated to maintain a minimum condenser inlet temperature (resp. maximum evaporator inlet temperature).

The system is controlled based on the logic described in Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Combined.Controls.Chiller. The pump flow rate is considered proportional to the pump speed under the assumption of a constant flow resistance for both the condenser and the evaporator loops. This assumption is justified by the connection of the loops to the buffer tanks, and the additional assumption that the bypass branch of the mixing valves is balanced with the direct branch.

Base subsystem with district heat exchanger

Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Combined.Subsystems.HeatExchanger

Information

This is a model for a district heat exchanger system with a variable speed pump on the secondary side, and a variable speed pump (in case of a passive network) or a two-way modulating valve (in case of an active network) on the primary side.

The system is controlled based on the logic described in Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Combined.Controls.HeatExchanger. The pump flow rate is considered proportional to the pump speed under the assumption of a constant flow resistance in both the primary and the secondary loops.

Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialFourPortInterface (Partial model transporting fluid between two ports without storing mass or energy).

Base subsystem with waterside economizer

Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Combined.Subsystems.WatersideEconomizer

Information

This is a model for a waterside economizer for sidestream integration (in series with the chillers). The primary side is typically connected to the service line. The primary flow rate is modulated either with a variable speed pump or with a two-way valve. The secondary side is typically connected to the chilled water return, using a three-port two-position directional control valve.

The system is controlled based on the logic described in Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Combined.Controls.WatersideEconomizer.

Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialFourPortInterface (Partial model transporting fluid between two ports without storing mass or energy).
