Dear scholars,
I want to control an HVAC system implemented in EnergyPlus using data and python programming. So I need to couple python and EnergyPlus.
I'm using python instead of Matlab to reduce computation time.
Coupling BCVTB with Matlab Simulink is possible and you probably would say that I couple python through Matlab and BCVTB at the same time. But my concern is that it might increase computation time very much. (as computation time is the only reason I'm using python)
regards,
Mehrdad
To implement that you need to do some socket programming in Python. Unfortunately there are no python specific documentation for it. If you look at the code in this link
https://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/bcvtb/releases/latest/doc/manual/ch07s10.xhtml
You would see that a connection is established between BCVTB server. You can do that with Python too in similiar manner.
Below is the actual C implementation of the above example that you can compile.
