Demos

Demonstrations

The demonstration models in the Demo directory provide use examples and commentary for the Campus Energy Modeling library. The demos are intended for adaptation and modification and are an excellent way to get started using the Campus Energy Modeling library!

The following demos are available:

Demo	Directory	Description	Requirements
Demand Response	demand_response	Demonstrate demand response techniques for a small office building	MATLAB (2013a), EnergyPlus, MLE+
Campus with Central Plant	campus_with_central_plant	Simulate several buildings and a central plant using multiple EnergyPlus models	MATLAB (2013a), EnergyPlus, MLE+
EV Demand Management	ev_demand_management	Demonstrate demand management using electric vehicle charging	MATLAB (2013a), SimPowerSystems, SSC
EV PV Smoothing	ev_pv_smoothing	Demonstrate smoothing of photovoltaic array output using electric vehicle charging	MATLAB (2013a), SimPowerSystems, SSC
PVWatts Cosimulation	pvwatts_cosimulation	Simulate a photovoltaic array in Simulink using PVWatts	MATLAB (2013a), SimPowerSystems, SSC

Running the Demos

Each demo contains a README.txt file which describes the demo, documents software requirements, and provides instructions for executing the demo. To run a demo of your choice:

1. Ensure that all required software for the demo is installed and properly configured for use with the Campus Energy Modeling library. For more information on software dependencies, see Installation.
2. Follow the README.txt instructions for the demo. Typically, these instructions involve editing and running an initialization script, then opening and running the Simulink model.

Modifying the Demos

We recommend that you copy the demo files to a new location prior to making modifications. That way, the original demo provides a working point of reference.
