Re: [TRNSYS-users] Deactivate battery



Thanks for the reply. I have used that strategy successfully with other Types, but unfortunately the inverter just ignores the switch. A message in the List file says ”The input to the listed units have not converged at this timestep. The values at the last iteration will be used and the simulation will proceed”.

I'm not familiar with that component (Type 47a) but its usually possible to use equations to effectively disconnect the links to and from any Type.

 

You can zero out inputs to the type with something like this:

input1 = datapoint1 * switch  ! (where "switch" = 1 for "on" or 0 for "off")

 

You can choose to use outputs from one type or another type with something like this:

output1 = output1a * switch + output1b * (1 - switch)  ! (where "switch" = 1 for "on" or 0 for "off")

 

This will take a bit of time to set up and it's not very elegant, but the freedom to hack is what makes TRNSYS great!

Dear all,

 

Is there a way to deactivate a battery (Type 47a) without having to delete it from a model? I want to do an optimization that includes options with and without battery, so I need to find a way to give the battery zero capacity or stop the inverter from charging/discharging it. I have tried different values for High and Low limit on FSOC but the inverter basically ignores them when the value doesn’t converge. Any suggestions?
