NREL's Campus Energy Modeling project provides a suite of simulation tools for integrated, data driven energy modeling of commercial buildings and campuses using Simulink. The tools enable development of fully interconnected models for commercial campus energy infrastructure, including electrical distribution systems, district heating and cooling, onsite generation (both conventional and renewable), building loads, energy storage, and control systems.
The Campus Energy Modeling library provides an interface between Simulink and several energy modeling and data tools:
- SimPowerSystems for electrical power systems
- EnergyPlus (via MLE+) for building and thermal equipment models
- PVWatts (via SSC) for photovoltaic arrays
- NREL's DataBus project for data acquisition (NREL internal use only)
Please see the Campus Energy Modeling Wiki for complete documentation, including installation instructions and a getting started guide.
