Modelica-based simulation of building and district energy systems
Doctoral School of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University
Welcome to Modelica-based simulation of building and district energy systems
Description:
Due to climate change, more stringent building energy standards are enforced to reduce building primary energy use. This causes a shift towards the use of more advanced and complex heating and cooling systems for the built environment.
Energy simulation programs are powerful tools that have been increasingly used by engineers and researchers for the design, analysis and optimization of energy and district energy systems. However, today’s programs have diTiculties to handle the challenges posed by the complexity of future systems, which are expected to integrate renewable energies, thermal storage, and advanced control algorithms.
This course aims to present latest developments in modeling and simulation of building and district energy systems based on Modelica modeling language. Modelica is an opensource language that features ease of use, visual design of models with combination of Lego-like predefined blocks, ability to define model libraries with reusable components, and support for modeling and simulation of complex applications involving parts from diTerent engineering domains.
