<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am a newbie to Trnsys. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Currently I am investigating a small scale hybrid energy
system for a local not for profit organisation in Northern Ireland.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The system has a wind turbine, biomass boiler and a small
scale hydro turbine (75kW), supplying into the building load. Any excess they
can spill onto the grid.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I wanted to model this scenario in Trnsys17, but the hydro
component is missing. Is there an alternative methodology of simulating the
hydro unit or has anyone developed a hydro component that I could use?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance for your assistance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
