Running the Models
Modelica Models included in the Integrated Energy Systems program include: nuclear reactors [Four Loop PWR, Generic Modular PWR, and Natural Circulation Small Modular Reactor], hydrogen production, reverse osmosis, two-tank sensible heat storage, thermocline packed bed energy storage, peaking gas turbine models, and stepdown turbines available for rankine system balance of plant components.
To operate and maintain the models a regression system was created to ensure all components are still operational during model development and download. It is from this regression system that the user is urged to begin. The Examples folder shown below is where the user should begin to understand how a system/model works.
These Examples folders contain the examples run in the regression testing system. From these models a user can begin to understand the underlying physics of a model and the exposed input and output variables that can be modified. Once a user is familiar the example model file then edits to its size, control scheme, internal components, etc... can be made in a more productive and reasoned fashion.
To properly edit the Examples within the hybrid repository while still maintaining the regression system one needs to create a duplicate model of the example file that is to be edited. This can be done by right clicking on the file as shown below and creating a duplicate class.
This file will the be placed in the Examples folder where edits can be made to it for new and unique runs. This includes things such as new control schemes, sizing, timeruns, etc...
For information on how to combine several of the existing models together please look to [Configuring the Models](Modelica build)
