Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.LoadAggregation.Validation.AggregationCellTimes

This validation case shows the construction of the aggregation time and size vectors

Information

This validation case builds the aggregation vectors (rCel and nu) for a fictional case with 6 cells, built in 3 layers of 2 cells which double in size each level. The timFin input to the function called is lower than the aggregation time of the 6th cell, and the 6th cell must therefore be truncated from a size of 4 to a size of 2.

Parameters

Type	Name	Default	Description
Integer	i	6	Number of aggregation cells
Time	tLoaAgg	10	Time resolution of load aggregation [s]

Modelica definition

model AggregationCellTimes "This validation case shows the construction of the aggregation time and size vectors" extends Modelica.Icons.Example; parameter Integer i = 6 "Number of aggregation cells"; parameter Modelica.Units.SI.Time tLoaAgg=10 "Time resolution of load aggregation"; final parameter Modelica.Units.SI.Time[i] nu(each fixed=false) "Time vector for load aggregation"; final parameter Modelica.Units.SI.Time[i] rCel(each fixed=false) "Cell widths"; Modelica.Units.SI.Time nu_error; Modelica.Units.SI.Time rCel_error "Error on chosen values"; initial equation (nu,rCel) = Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.LoadAggregation.aggregationCellTimes( i=i, lvlBas=2, nCel=2, tLoaAgg=tLoaAgg, timFin=12*tLoaAgg); equation nu_error = 100.0-nu[i-1]; rCel_error = 2.0-rCel[i]; end AggregationCellTimes;

Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.LoadAggregation.Validation.AggregationWeightingFactors

This validation case verifies the calculation of the weighting factors kappa

Information

This validation case uses the first few values of a borehole temperature reponse time series to construct the weighting factors kappa. The aggregation cells are chosen such that there is a change in levels (and therefore a doubling in the size of the cells) from cell 5 to 6. Therefore, kappa[5] is lower than kappa[4] and kappa[7] is lower than kappa[6], but kappa[6] is higher than kappa[5].

Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.LoadAggregation.Validation.TemperatureResponseMatrix

This validation case test the calculation, writing and reading of the temperature step response

Information

This validation case calculates the g-function for a defined single borehole, turns it into a temperature step response, saves it as "TemperatureResponseMatrix_validationTStep.mat", reads this .mat file and shows the evolution of the temperature step reponse over the course of the first year.

Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.LoadAggregation.Validation.TemporalSuperposition

This validation case applies temporal superposition with truncated vectors

Information

This validation case uses a fictional load profile and weighting factors to ensure that the temporal superposition is correctly done. The curCel input to the function called truncates the vectors involved in the scalar product such that the large load in the QAgg_flow vector mustn't affect the final result.
