Welcome to the TRNSYS Users Forum.
The forum is a place where people can interact and have discussions about different topics involving the use of the TRNSYS software package. Here you can post topics for discussion or questions on using TRNSYS and get advice from other users or TRNSYS experts. This forum is not intended for detailed technical support. Users should contact their distributor’s hotline for such assistance.
Some tips for success on using the forum:
- Follow the Forum Rules posted in Forum Administration.
- There are categories for different types of topics and questions. Post your topic or question into the proper category.
- Before posting a topic or question search the existing topics (and the TRNSYS Users listserv archive or Post archive) to see if a similar topic or question has already been answered.
- Use a descriptive topic name. Don’t use attention getting subjects, they don’t get attention and only annoy people.
- State the version of TRNSYS and which add-ons your are using.
- Include enough specific details for your topic of question to be answered. Just posting “Why am I getting an error?” without describing the specific error and what you are trying to do when you get the error will not receive a response that fixes your issue.
- Remember when people help you, they are doing you a favor. Be patient, help people out by posting good descriptions of what you need help with, and be polite even if a response does not solve your issue.
- Moderators may edit your post for clarity or move your topic to a more appropriate category.
Hello!
In the inverter type 48c (mode 2) there is input 11 and 12 regarding start and stop time for grid battery charging. Is it possible to apply a scheme to say when it should charge and when it should stop charging? for example through an input txt file in type 9a.
My thought is that i want to run simulations for an entire year, beginning 1th January. on a 24hour basis, the electricity varies a lot. I want to tell the controller that the grid should charge the battery during the cheapest hours within a 24 hour scope.
for simplicity, lets say that the cheapest hour is 15:00-16:00 each day. Is it possible to send a "go high" signal to the inverter at time 15,39,63,87 etc. (15:00 each day)?
Im sorry for poor explanation, but i was wondering if anyone has done anything similar before?
yes, since those values are inputs they can be changed as often as you want during the simulation. You could read in the values from a Type9, you could define a Type14 forcing function that defines the allowed start and stop time once per month or once per season, you could define an equation.
kind regards,
David
