Annex 60 conversion

[rubenbaetens]

Convert the fluid-part of the IDEAS library based on the IEA Annex60 Baseclasses.

[Mathadon]

Shall we make a new branch for this? I think it will be more practical than working on a local branch.

[damienpicard]

I think a new branch would be indeed more convenient

[Mathadon]

Created new branch: https://github.com/open-ideas/IDEAS/tree/FluidPort

[Mathadon]

I suggest we remove IDEAS.Thermal.Components.Interfaces.Partials.Ambient and replace it by Annex 60 boundary_pT component?

[Mathadon]

The same for sensors?

[damienpicard]

To do so, we need to use the baseClasses of Annex 60. Once we have decided that we will convert it, then the purpose is to use a python script which automatically copy the full Annex 60 into IDEAS. So all the similar classes will become obsolete.

[Mathadon]

After discussing with Damien we suggest (to be discussed) the following changes in IDEAS.Thermal:

• Production: keep most, compare boiler with MBL, drop solar thermal systems and HP_BrineWater_Borehole
• Emission: Compare radiator to MBL, keep other components ( for TABS see #8 )
• Storage: keep storage tank because of validation, discuss with Roel
• Distribution: add documentation or remove components
• Domestic_Hot_Water: check functionality and improve documentation
• GroundHeatExchanger: verify with Dieter
• BaseClasses:
  • Pipe obsolete?
  • Pipe_heatport -> replace in models by MixingVolume from Annex60
  • Pipe_insulated -> adapt to use mixingvolume
  • Ambient -> replace in models by boundary_pT from Annex60
  • AbsolutePressure -> replace in models by boundary_pT from Annex60
  • pumps: convert to annex60 for now
  • MixingVolume -> replace in models by MixingVolume from Annex60
  • Valves: convert to annex60 for now
• Control: to be discussed
• Heatingsystem
• Ventilationsystem
• Data.Media -> obsolete, remove

[rubenbaetens]

• The pipe mdoel might not be obsolete if are we able to describe it based on the limit of the integration function of the discretization as an exponential function without increasing the number of states (See work of Roel Vandenbulcke)
• The same counts e.g. for the radiator
• We should discuss whether we copy models of Michael into our own library and acknowledge him, or do we require the users to mix models of LBNL and us, which might one day give version conflicts.

[Mathadon]

Should we update the IDEAS package description to warn users for the upcoming implementation of the (non-compatible) Annex60 baseclasses?

[rubenbaetens]

Maybe we should first figure out what will be not compatible with previous versions, if it is just connector(-names) i don't think it (i.e. non-backward-compatibility) is a big issue for now (i;e. for version 0.X instead of version X.0).

[Mathadon]

Renamed FluidPort branch to Annex60

[Mathadon]

Currently IDEAS uses MSL version 3.2. I think Damien already uses 3.2.1 in his development version. Either way we should make the update to 3.2.1 as well (assuming this is the last version of MSL?).

[Mathadon]

Actually 3.2.2 exists: https://www.modelica.org/documents I suppose we will just follow Annex60 then (3.2.1)?

[damienpicard]

The version automatically changes when you use dymola (version is updated to your current (open) MSL. As the versions are backward compatible, I would always use the latest version for the master branch.

[Mathadon]

Can these models be deleted? IDEAS.Fluid.Production.SolarCollector_Glazed IDEAS.Fluid.Production.SolarThermalSystem_Simple

[Mathadon]

solarcollector models removed

[Mathadon]

I guess the conversion itself is completed. Documentation etc, still to go..
