.TransiEnt.Producer.Heat.Power2Heat.ElectricBoiler.Controller.PtH_limiter

Information

1. Purpose of model

This component calculates the set point of the heat production of a Power to Heat unit.

It takes as inputs the set value of the heat production site where the PtH unit is installed and the excess RE available.

2. Level of detail, physical effects considered, and physical insight

Purely technical component without physical modeling.

3. Limits of validity

Validation not required.

4. Interfaces

Inputs: RE_curtail, Q_flow_set_demand

Outputs: Q_flow_set_PtH

5. Nomenclature

(no elements)

6. Governing Equations

7. Remarks for Usage

This component can be used if the available otherwise curtailed renewable energy production is known in advance. Besides, the heat production profile to be convered by the heat production site should also be known.

8. Validation

See test model: TransiEnt.Producer.Heat.Power2Heat.Check.TestPtH_limiter

9. References
