modelPowerExact

Power calculation comparison among three mover types, using exact power computation for m_flow and dp

Extends from BuildingSystems.Fluid.Movers.Validation.PowerSimplified.

Information

This example is identical to BuildingSystems.Fluid.Movers.Validation.PowerSimplified, except that the performance data for the flow controlled pumps pump_dp and pump_m_flow contain the pressure curves and efficiency curves. The plot below shows that this leads to a computation of the power consumption that is identical to the one from the speed controlled pump pump_y.
