Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.BaseClasses.CollectorDistributor
Model of a collector/distributor with zero pressure drop between connections
Information
This model represents a collector/distributor which connects
nCon hydronic circuits in parallel.
The pressure drop between each connection is assumed negligible
compared to the pressure drop in each circuit, and is set to zero
in the model.
By default,
-
there is no bypass flow (which can be added later by connecting
the ports
port_bDisSupandport_aDisRet), -
the nominal distribution mass flow rate
mDis_flow_nominalis equal to the sum of the nominal mass flow rate in each circuit. However, this parameter assigment is not final and it can be set for instance to a higher value to represent a primary overflow in a supply through loop.
Extends from Buildings.Experimental.DHC.Networks.BaseClasses.PartialDistribution2Pipe (Partial model for two-pipe distribution network).

Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.BaseClasses.PartialETS
Partial class for modeling an energy transfer station
Information
Partial class to be used for modeling an energy transfer station and optional in-building primary systems.
The connectors to the service lines are configured based on an enumeration
defining the type of district system (CombinedGeneration2to4
by default), see
Buildings.Experimental.DHC.Types.DistrictSystemType.
In case of a heating service line, the model allows for using two
different media at the inlet port port_aSerHea and at the oulet
port port_bSerHea to represent a steam supply and condensate
return.
The connectors to the building distribution systems are configured based
on the Boolean parameters have_heaWat and have_chiWat.

Stratified buffer tank model
Information
This is a four-port tank model based on Buildings.Fluid.Storage.Stratified which includes the following features.
-
The two fluid ports suffixed with
Topare connected to the fluid volume at the top of the tank. -
The two fluid ports suffixed with
Botare connected to the fluid volume at the bottom of the tank. - A unique heat port is exposed as an external connector. It is meant to provide a uniform temperature boundary condition at the external surface of the tank (outside insulation).
- The model outputs the temperature of the fluid volumes at the top and at the bottom of the tank.

Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.BaseClasses.computeCoordinates
Coordinates of evenly distributed boreholes given the number of boreholes
Information
This function computes the coordinates of boreholes evenly
distributed along the x and y axis,
given the number of boreholes (which must be the square of
an integer).
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).
Inputs
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Integer | nBorHol | Number of boreholes | |
| Distance | dxy | 6 | Distance in x-axis (and y-axis) between borehole axes [m] |
Outputs
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Distance | cooBor[nBorHol, 2] | Coordinates of boreholes [m] |
