An open-source Modelica package for silica-sand thermal energy storge (TES) applications in building and district heating systems
This repository contains a Modelica library for developing and testing heating plants with sand TES. This includes primary equipment, subsystem assemblies, and controls.
This model uses the Modelica Buildings Library Version 9.0.0, which can be downloaded here: https://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/modelica/download.html.
LBNL recommends to install the offically released library in a different location than where models are developed. Their install guide can be seen here: https://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/modelica/installLibrary.html.
