pip install cylinderThis basic model provides the core function for a step change calculation in a mixed hot water cylinder
Load some data that can be used to test the model - flow and electricity pricing
# df = (pd.DataFrame(load_demand(path = Path('../data/drawprofiles'),bed=5,unit=4)))
# df.columns=["flow"]
# df = df.merge(load_power(path = Path('../data')), how='left', left_index=True, right_index=True)
# df.head()Create a hot water cylinder object and initialise it with the data
hwc = HWC(T_set=70, T_deadband=2, element=3, radius=.2, height=1.5)print(f'The HWC volume is {int(hwc.volume*1000)} liters')
print(f'The HWC surface area is {hwc.surface_area:.2f} m2')
print(f'The HWC has a {hwc.element:.2f} kW element')The HWC volume is 188 liters
The HWC surface area is 2.14 m2
The HWC has a 3.00 kW element
Default thermogram
Run the model for a single day on thermostat and plot the results
