Description
Interface model for a complete multi-zone heating system (with our without domestic hot water and solar system).
This model defines the ports used to link a heating system with a building, and the basic parameters that most heating systems will need to have. The model is modular as a function of the number of zones nZones.
Two sets of heatPorts are defined:
- heatPortCon[nZones] and heatPortRad[nZones] for convective respectively radiative heat transfer to the building.
- heatPortEmb[nZones] for heat transfer to TABS elements in the building.
The model also defines TSensor[nZones] and TSet[nZones] for the control, and a nominal power QNom[nZones].
There is also an input for the DHW flow rate, mDHW60C, but this can be unconnected if the system only includes heating and no DHW.
Assumptions and limitations
- See the different extensions of this model in IDEAS.Thermal.HeatingSystems
Model use
- Connect the heating system to the corresponding heatPorts of a structure.
- Connect TSet and TSensor and plugLoad.
- Connect plugLoad to an inhome grid. A dummy inhome grid like this has to be used if no inhome grid is to be modelled.
- Set all parameters that are required, depending on which implementation of this interface is used.
Validation
No validation performed.
Example
See the heating system examples.
