[TRNSYS-users] problem with differential controller

[Oriol Casal via TRNSYS-users]

Hi Amirreza,

I am no expert but I would try to run the simulation with a much smaller
timestep. Furthermore if the collectors have no thermal capacitance this
control system is likely to be unstable and oscillate. Try using a
temperature from the tank into the controller.

Regards
