Hi Matt, i have found the soloution, by connecting the PID controller directly to a heat exchanger and not to the pump to control the flow rate at the secondary side of the heat exchanger. I had the type 539 from TESS solar library but I wanted to experience it with a normal collector.

It has this built in controller where all you have to do is send that control signal to the variable speed pump that is "upstream" of the solar collector in your simulation.

For this purpose I am using a Iterative Feedback Controller (Type22) to control the the pump mass flow in my collector circuit. As Input values for this type I have entered: Setpoint: 70 Controlled variable: collector outlet temperature linked On / Off signal: 1 Minimum control signal: 0 Maximum control signal: 1 Threshold for non-zero output: 0.15 Tolerance on tracking error: 0 I have linked the control singnal of this type and the pump (type 3b) together. It should work but as I plot the collector outlet I always have no flow rate and not a constant outlet temperature from the collector. What am I doing wrong? regards, Shahrdad _______________________________________________ |
