<div class="gmail_quote">Dear TRNSys-users,<br><br>I would like to model a micro-CHP system including a storage tank component. I use the Type 534 from the TESS Library.<br>I'm now trying to run an optimization process with TRNOpt, and the tank volume should be one of the optimization variables.<br>
Classically, I would put an equation defining the variable (for ex., Tank_Volume) and link to the component, so that TRNOpt recognises the variable.<br><br>However, the tank volume for type 534 has to be defined in an external plug in, so it isn't a regular "input" or "parameter".<br>
I tried to modify the numerical value in the .dat file of the plug in to "Tank_Volume", but TRNSys reported an error.<br><br>Has anyone met such a problem in defining the optimisation variables ?<br><br>Any help would be gratefully appreciated,<br>
