LBNL released the Modelica Buildings library 2.0.0.

The following major additions have been done in version 2.0.0:

- A CFD model that is embedded in a thermal zone has been added. This
model is implemented in Buildings.Rooms.CFD. The CFD model is an
implementation of the Fast Fluid Dynamics code that allows
three-dimensional CFD inside a thermal zone, coupled to building heat
transfer, HVAC components and feedback control loops.
- A new package Buildings.Electrical has been added. This package allows
studying buildings to electrical grid integration. It includes models
for loads, transformers, cables, batteries, PV and wind turbines. Models
exist for DC and AC systems with two- or three-phases that can be balanced
and unbalanced. The models compute voltage, current, active and reactive
power based on the quasi-stationary assumption or using the dynamic
phasorial representation.
- The new package Buildings.Controls.DemandResponse contains models for
demand response simulation.
- The new package Buildings.Controls.Predictors contains a data-driven
model that predicts the electrical load of a building. The prediction
can be done either using an average baseline or a linear regression with
respect to outside temperature. For both, optionally a day-of adjustment
can be made.

This release also improves various existing models.
