Modelica GEBS Workshop

Workshop on modelling a house with a heat pump for distribution grid congestion management. Control the heat pump with a simple forcing signal and watch the trade-off between grid load and comfort.

Workshop Part 1

For the first part of the workshop we'll need to compete the first time setup:

1. Download OpenModelica and the Buildings Library. Download OpenModelica here: https://openmodelica.org
2. Once setup, launch "OpenNodelica Connection Editor", and download the Buildings library inside it. To do so, navigate to File -> Manage Libraries -> Install Library. Browse at Name to Buildings and press OK.
3. Next, download the Workshop_Modelica.mo package from this github repository. Press the file and press the Download raw file file button (top right). Remember the file location, we'll need to navigate to it to open it.
4. Finally, download the weather file from github ITA_Napoli-Capodichino.162890_IGDG.mos.

After the setup you can now open the Workshop_Modelica.mo package by pressing File -> Open Model/Library File(s). To run Distribution_grid, double click the weather model (cloud + sun logo), and change the path for the file location to your downloaded ITA_Napoli-Capodichino.162890_IGDG.mos file. Afterwards press the green arrow in the top bar
