[TRNSYS-users] new - old -controller

[David Bradley]

Florian,
   The "new" control strategy is intended to be used with SOLVER 1. The 
"old" control strategy is intended to be solved with SOLVER 0. The choice 
of SOLVER should depend upon the amount of capacitance that you have in 
your system. Systems that have almost no capacitance are sometimes better 
solved using SOLVER 1 while systems that have significant amounts of 
capacitance (a building, thermal storage tanks, batteries, etc.) are 
usually fine using SOLVER 0. Without changing the SOLVER, you might look at 
your controller dead band temperatures and increase them if possible to 
increase the stability of your controller.
Kind regards,
   David
