modelStorageTank
Extends from IBPSA.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialFourPortInterface (Partial model transporting fluid between two ports without storing mass or energy).
Information
This is a model of a stratified thermal storage tank. It is basically a convenience wrapper around the model IBPSA.Fluid.Storage.StratifiedEnhanced. It adds distinct ports for supply and demand as well as a constant ambient temperature to take losses into account.
