[TRNSYS-users] Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) System Simulation

Hello,

I am an MSc Energy Systems Engineering student at Cyprus International university, Northern Cyprus. My thesis is on Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) Systems, myself and my supervising professor (departmental chair) are interested in using TRNSYS but unfortunately we couldn't find any CPV library in its features. My university is willing to purchase this simulation software if it will serve our need. Is there a way CPV library and features can be included or incorporated in TRNSYS package for our institution? Our interest lies both in technological analysis such as concentrating optics (fresnel lens etc), multi-junction solar cells, two-axis tracking, direct normal irradiation etc and economical analysis of the system.

Also, if our request is possible, we would like you to furnish us with financial cost and procedure for obtaining the simulation package.

We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Warm regards.

1. building simulation (Matthias Maier)
Hi TRNSYS-users,

I am studying electrical engineering at the Technical University of Munich and currently I am writing my bachelor´s thesis at the Institute for Energy Economy and Application Technology. My subject is the comparison and assessment of various building simulation programs. Background of this thesis is the development of an automatized demand side management for commercial buildings, in case of the emergence of a dynamic electricity tariff in Germany. Therefor a whole thermal simulation of the building and it´s HVAC systems would be necessary.

One of my tasks is to estimate the costs for the implementation of a building including its HVAC systems. For this reason I selected an example building to estimate the costs for (added in the attachment). Support referred me to this user service. I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me how long it takes to implement this example building including its HVAC to TRNSYS and perform a high-resolution simulation (minute-basis) for a eperienced user.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards,
Matthias Maier
