Modelica-Based Multiscale Modeling for Buildings and Communities
Abstract: As an innovative approach for system modeling and simulation, the equation-based Modelica language has recently gained much interest from the building industry. Besides contributing to the Modelica Buildings library, we further developed and applied the Modelica-based technique to solve real-world problems in multiscale from HVAC equipment to building systems to future cities. This seminar will introduce our work using various examples.
