  • Modelica models package for data center cooling systems

4 system models and 30+ component models for data center cooling systems have been released in the DOE’s Modelica Buildings library (V5.0.0): Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.   

  • ISAT-FFD model for data center airflow management

ISAT-FFD is a reduced order model trained by FFD simulations that can be used for fast predictions of airflow in the building. 

  • Integrated model of data center airflow management and cooling systems

The integrated model that couples Modelica cooling system model with ISAT-FFD for airflow mangement, which can be regarded as an alternated detailed room model in Modelica Building library.

Tutorial

This guide describes how to compile and run ISAT cases in Linux.

This guide shows how to compile the ISAT libraries using free software in Windows.

This guide demonstrates how to compile the FFD CPU and GPU codes in Windows.
