Electronic Controller Development and Evaluation of Control Strategies

摘要

The major activities during FY 1978 involved improvements of the experimental test facility. The facility is being equipped with simulators for the heat from solar collectors and for the building load, driven by the same input meteorological data. Instrumentation has been added to the facility, and heat balance tests using solar collector and simulator heat input have been carried out. In addition, heat loss experiments have been conducted without any heat input or load. The TRNSYS computer program was employed to predict system performance and the results were compared with experimental measurements. (ERA citation 04:022211)
