Buildings.Obsolete.Controls.OBC.CDL.Continuous.Validation

Collection of validation models

Information

This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Obsolete.Controls.OBC.CDL.Continuous.

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.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.ExamplesPackage (Icon for packages containing runnable examples).

Buildings.Obsolete.Controls.OBC.CDL.Continuous.Validation.LimPIDInitialState

Test model for LimPID controller with initial state specified

Buildings.Obsolete.Controls.OBC.CDL.Continuous.Validation.LimPIDInitialState

Information

Validation test for the block Buildings.Obsolete.Controls.OBC.CDL.Continuous.LimPID.

This model validates setting the initial state of the controller to a specified value.

The model sets the initial values xi_start=0.25 of the integrator for both instances of the controller. For the instance limPID, it also sets the initial value of the state of the derivative block xd_start=-0.5. The derivative block obtains as an input signal the value u=-0.5 because the set point weight for the derivative action is wd=0. Therefore, an initial state of x(t₀)=-0.5 causes the state of the derivative block to be at steady-state, because dx(t)/dt = (u - x)/T.
