Buildings.Controls.DemandResponse.BaseClasses.BaselinePrediction
Predicts the baseline consumption
Information
Block that computes the baseline for a demand response client.
This implementation computes the 10/10 average baseline.
This baseline is the average of the consumed power of the previous
10 days for the same time interval. For example, if the base line is
computed every 1 hour, then there are 24 baseline values for each day.
Separate baselines are computed for any types of days.
The type of day is an input signal received from the connector
typeOfDay, and must be equal to any value defined
in
Buildings.Controls.Types.Day.
If a day is an event day, then any hour of this day after the event signal is received is excluded from the baseline computation. Storing history terms for the base line resumes at midnight.
If no history term is present for the current time interval and
the current type of day, then the predicted power consumption
PPre will be zero.
Extends from Buildings.Controls.DemandResponse.BaseClasses.PartialDemandResponse (Partial block that declares common data for demand response models).
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Integer | nSam | Number of intervals in a day for which baseline is computed | |
| Integer | nPre | Number of intervals for which future load need to be predicted (set to one to only predict current time, or to nSam to predict one day) | |
| PredictionModel | predictionModel | Load prediction model | |
| Integer | nHis | 10 | Number of history terms to be stored |

Modelica definition
Buildings.Controls.DemandResponse.BaseClasses.NormalOperation
Normal operation
Information
Block that outputs the currently consumed electrical power, which is equal to its input signal.
Extends from Modelica.StateGraph.StepWithSignal (Ordinary step (= step that is not active when simulation starts). Connector 'active' is true when the step is active).
