OCHRE Testing Scripts Using CTA-2045 HPWH Settings:

• These scripts can be used to simulate HPWHs in residential buildings.
• These scripts were developed to generate a CTA-2045 Implementation Guide for residential HPWHs.

Requirements:

• OCHRE

Working Scripts:

• C4_Sweep_Test.py

  • This script acts as an Energy grid service, using PGE's commercial ToU schedule.
  • You can generate a list of deadband sweeps and it will aggregate results as a parquet file.

• C7_Sweep_longShedv2.py

  • This script sweeps Shed temperature deadbands in a loop and aggregates data into one parquet file.
  • This is not analogous to an Energy grid service. It is an extended Shed period from 6am - midnight.

• E0_LoadUpSweep

  • This script performs a very long LoadUp or Advanced LoadUp and sweeps through deadbands.
  • You can generate a list of deadbands to iterate through and it will aggregate results by deadband and one with all data as a parquet file.
  • This script requires updated WaterHeater.py and Water.py files to avoid crashing simulation and missing house data.
