Version 1.6 build 1 updates the Buildings library to the
Modelica Standard Library 3.2.1 and to Modelica_StateGraph2 2.0.2.
This is the first version of the Buildings library
that contains models from the
IEA EBC Annex 60 library,
a Modelica library for building and community energy systems that is
collaboratively developed within the project
"New generation computational tools for building and community energy systems
based on the Modelica and Functional Mockup Interface standards",
a project that is conducted under the
Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (EBC) of the
International Energy Agency (IEA).
The following new components have been added to existing libraries:
| Buildings.Fluid | |
| Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.TwoWayTable | Two way valve for which the opening characteristics is specified by a table. |
| Buildings.Utilities.Math | |
| Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.Average Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.InverseXRegularized Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.Polynominal Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.PowerLinearized Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.QuadraticLinear Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.RegNonZeroPower Buildings.Utilities.Math.Examples.SmoothExponential Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.average Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.booleanReplicator Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.Examples.IsMonotonic Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.Examples.TrapezoidalIntegration Buildings.Utilities.Math.Functions.integerReplicator Buildings.Utilities.Math.InverseXRegularized Buildings.Utilities.Math.Polynominal Buildings.Utilities.Math.PowerLinearized Buildings.Utilities.Math.QuadraticLinear Buildings.Utilities.Math.RegNonZeroPower Buildings.Utilities.Math.SmoothExponential Buildings.Utilities.Math.TrapezoidalIntegration | Various functions and blocks for mathematical operations. |

The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:
| Buildings.Fluid | |
| Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialFourPortInterface |
Removed call to homotopy function in the computation of the connector variables as these are conditionally enabled variables and therefore must not be used in any equation. They are only for output reporting. |
| Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.Exponential | Improved documentation of the flow resistance. |
| Buildings.BoundaryConditions | |
| Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 |
Added the option to use a constant, an input signal or the weather file as the source
for the ceiling height, the total sky cover, the opaque sky cover, the dew point temperature,
and the infrared horizontal radiation HInfHor.
|
The following existing components have been improved in a non-backward compatible way:
| Buildings.Fluid | |
| Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachinePolynomial | Moved the model to the package
Buildings.Obsolete,
as this model is planned to be removed in future versions.
The conversion script should update old instances of
this model automatically in Dymola.
Users should change their models to use a flow machine from
the package Buildings.Fluid.Movers.
|
| Buildings.Fluid.Storage.ExpansionVessel | Simplified the model to have a constant pressure.
The following non-backward compatible changes
have been made.
|
| Buildings.Fluid.Storage.StratifiedEnhancedInternalHex | Revised the model as the old version required the porta
of the heat exchanger to be located higher than portb.
This makes sense if the heat exchanger is used to heat up the tank,
but not if it is used to cool down a tank, such as in a cooling plant.
The following parameters were changed:
|
The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that can lead to wrong simulation results):
| Buildings.Fluid | |
| Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Boreholes.UTube | Reimplemented the resistor network inside the borehole
as the old implementation led to too slow a transient
response. This change also led to the removal of the
parameters B0 and B1
as the new implementation does not require them.
|
The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):
| Buildings.Fluid | |
| Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Boreholes.BaseClasses.HexInternalElement | Corrected error in documentation which stated a wrong default value for the pipe spacing. |
| Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.BaseClasses.ntu_epsilonZ() | Added dummy argument to function call of Internal.solve
to avoid a warning during model check in Dymola 2015.
|
| Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DryEffectivenessNTU | Changed assert statement to avoid comparing
enumeration with an integer, which triggers a warning
in Dymola 2015.
|
| Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.Constructions.Examples.ExteriorWall Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.Constructions.Examples.ExteriorWallWithWindow Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.Constructions.Examples.ExteriorWallTwoWindows |
Corrected wrong assignment of parameter in instance bouConExt(conMod=...)
which was set to an interior instead of an exterior convection model.
|
| Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.Functions.TDewPoi_pW() | Added dummy argument to function call of Internal.solve
to avoid a warning during model check in Dymola 2015.
|
The followings issues have been fixed:
| Buildings.Fluid | |
| #196 | Change capacity location in borehole grout. |
