Dear Developer Team, I am using honeybee to simulate building energy consumption (ladybug1.8.0). Regarding the calculation of photovoltaic, I have tried many ways to connect but none of them work. Whenever I connect PV shades to the model, an error message appears; when I connect to open studio, it shows that pv cannot be recognized. Can someone take a look?
The error is as follows: 1. Solution exception: Expected Honeybee Model for _model input. Got <class ‘honeybee.shade.Shade’>.
Hi @ICY_K1
I see from the screenshot that the shades go to a Relay and one of the outputs of the relay goes to the shade of the HB model component and the other output goes somewhere to the up (which may cause the error). I think you do not need this relay. You just need to connect the shades (from HB Photovoltaic Properties) to the shades_ input of the HB Model. You need to press the Shift button on your keyboard when connecting an additional wire to a component.
Thanks for replying! I will avoid this possible risk. Still, It is not working. Besides, I met similar problems as you.
Open studio error: 1. Solution exception:Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program.
Have you fixed this error? I really need to solve the challenge and my model file is large as well.
@ICY_K1
Can you send me your .gh file? I may be able to assist more when I can see the configuration
Due to work reasons, I cannot upload it directly to the forum for sharing. Can I contact you via email?
Hi @ICY_K1 I looked at your file and made kind of a copy, it works so I hope sharing this image could be of some assistance
Thank you very very very much, your template is very clear! But in fact, I prepared a test model (extracted two layers from the big model as the experimental object), and it is connected in the same way as the big model file, as you gave an example, but when the same battery is connected to the big model, an error will appear. I really need help, and I would like to ask if I can send you the file through private message, please help me check the key points of the problem.
After checking, I found that when the roof PV is connected, openstudio runs normally, but when the BIPV surface is connected, an error will be reported. I have offset the surface to avoid the surface of the room and biPV to fit together. Could the problem be that the angle between the normal direction of the srf and the solar altitude angle exceeds the calculation rules?
