There will be 3 TRNSYS workshops before/after eSim 2018, the IBPSA-Canada conference (May 8-11, Montréal, QC). Note that even though the first workshop was first announced as an introductory one, its contents will be adapted to the participants. In particular the second half of the workshop will focus on more advanced features such as writing new components (there are still no prerequisites). May 8, 8:30 – 12:30: Introduction to TRNSYS 18 and advanced features Introduction to the software with a focus of new capabilities in TRNSYS 18. Advanced notions such as writing new components will be covered during the second half of the workshop. Instructor: Angela Weiss / Dave Bradley, TESS May 8, 13:30 – 17:30: TRNSYS for optimization and Model-Predictive Control with Matlab and GenOpt Comparison of different approaches to optimize building and system design in TRNSYS with GenOpt or using Matlab as a pre- and post-processor. Comparison of different approaches to implement MPC in TRNSYS in two distinct cases: using TRNSYS as the controller model for simulation or real-time implementation, and using TRNSYS as the reference model to investigate MPC using models and control algorithms implemented in Matlab through Type 155. Instructors: Michaël Kummert and Kun Zhang, Polytechnique Montréal May 11, 8:30 – 12:30: Modelling and simulating Ground-Source Heat Pump Systems using TRNSYS Practical workshop on modelling of ground-source heat pump systems covering borehole heat transfer and heat pump modelling as well as complete system models (bore field, heat pump, building).
