Selecting specific day/week #37

Closed risidlo closed 5 days ago

risidlo commented 2 weeks ago

Hello everybody,

is somehow possible to simulate demand for specific time of the year? I want to simulate e.g. summer week/winter week etc. and I dont know how to select specific time. I always get actual date. Thx

there is no seasonality in pysimdeum at this point.

To elaborate on this: Seasonality can always be added by changing the statistics (the TOML files). Here you can adjust the frequency of use (of for instance the outside tap) to more resemble a hot summer day (for instance).

pysimdeum was based on a matlab code called SIMDEUM (1) with which some studies into seasonality have been performed. Some of those features might be added to pysimdeum in a later stage.

For now it is best to directly contact either me (bram.hillebrand@kwrwater.nl) or Mirjam Blokker (mirjam.blokker@kwrwater.nl)
