Dear all,
I have a question upon the optimization in TRNSYS at each time-step.
As we know, currently, most of the optimization softwares, such as GenOpt, make the optimization for TRNSYS based on a series of “complete” TRNSYS simulation results. In other words, the optimization software calls TRNSYS, and TRNSYS will run the whole simulation (such as 1-year’s simulation) and return back a result after the simulation completes
However, in my case, I have to make the optimization for the control of an energy system in TRNSYS at each time-step. This means that, at the beginning of each time-step, I have to “virtually” run TRNSYS for the coming one time-step in the computer for many times (e.g. 100 times), and get an optimized parameter for the control of the energy system. Thereafter, TRNSYS “in real” run the simulation with the optimized control of the energy system for the coming one time-step. And this process will be conducted at each time-step.
Another question relating to the above-mentioned question: how can I return to the beginning of one time-step in TRNSYS after the one time-step’s simulation passes? For example, in a one-year’s simulation, after running the simulation for 2968 hours, I would like to return to the beginning of the 2968th hour. How could I manage that in TRNSYS? Is there any way to create a type to force TRNSYS to return to the beginning of certain time-step?
Thank you very much.
Kind Regards, Sunliang |
