Dear Javier,

I already responded to you in the other email account, but I just wanted to post my answer in case there were any out there that were interested.

The way we do optimization with TRNSYS is with the LBL program, GenOpt. We have the TESS Optimization LIbrary with a!
 n interface (called TRNOPT) that couples your TRNSYS simulation to the GenOpt program. It works pretty well and we use it often. Thus, it uses the GenOpt algorithms.

I am not familiar with GAMs or any optimization algorithms in Matlab, but TRNSYS can couple with Matlab at a component level. I am not sure how or if you would implement Matlab as an optimization tool.

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] It is TRNSYS suitable for optimization analysys?

Dear Sr or Madam,

I am a master student at KTH in Sweden. I am about to start working on a thesis project which is related to optimization of trigeneration systems (heating, cooling and power generation).

I am doing a survey about which software is more suitable for optimization analysis by means of mathematical optimization.

I found that some companies (for example: TESS inc) have developed additional application components for TRNSys that are used in ! cogeneration and trigeneration systems (absorption chillers, boilers, turbines, etc). This applications could be very useful for us.

I would like to know if TRNSYS is able to run algorithms for optimization?.
Additionally, I would like to know if TRNSYS can do interface with other software such as Matlab or GAMs.

I will really appreciate any information.


Thanks,

Javier Galvan
