Information

General Description

Tables are a way of feeding in data (time series) into the models.

There are mainly two types of tables:

• Generic DataTable: reads time series from a TXT file
• GenericCombiTimeTable1Ds: reads a time changing variable (for instance outdoor temperature), reads a characteristic line from a TXT file and then delivers a result.

These tables can have one or multiple outputs, depending on your application.

The model "DataPrivacy" is used for protecting confidential data during the library development process. It may be removed when the library is published.

Importing your own data

Data can be easily converted in the proper format needed by means of the tool "ModelicaConverter". This is an excel table with a built in macro, which formats your data into a format which Dymola can read. Besides, the converter helps you converting your data into the proper units (see section "Units convention")

Units Convention

For the models to work properly, the following conventions regarding the units must be followed:

• Temperatures: °C
• Heat flow rates: W
• Electric Power: W
• Solar irradiance: W/m2
• Volume flows: m3/s
• Wind speed: m/s
