Programs for breakout groups

WP leaders to list their topics. Michael will set up google sheet.

WP 1.1:

Suggested topics for whole team meeting

• Question to others: are our models sufficiently stable: no divisions by zero, Newton solver fails, etc?
• What are bottlenecks for the use of Modelica: documentation/speed/translation time/ etc
• modeling of controls and verification tests

Suggested topics for breakout groups

• for each library, what are the goals in 2-3 sentences, what is preventing the library from achieving these goals, how can we get around the main issues.
• DHC substation models
• geothermal systems and heat pumps (Carlos and Damien developed geothermal models)
• Development of commonly used sub-circuits?
• Records for valves
• Inverting causality of pumps/valves (this is for MPC – so more suited for 1.2 meeting)
• Usability: cleaning up parameters – moving them to other tabs
• Common exercises?
