Design and Implementation of Energy Consumption Simulation Software for Energy-Using Systems
As lacking clear understanding of energy-using characteristics for devices, it is difficult to reasonably assess their consumption levels of energy. In order to solve this problem, chart-module integration theory is applied to energy consumption simulation field to design a software system that supports dynamic energy consumption simulation in this article. Firstly, the overall architecture of the software mainly composed by drawing core engine is described. Then, the realization processes and methods of the graph component library and drawing core engine are illustrated in detail. Finally, the process of modeling and simulation of energy consumption based on the designed software is given. The software users can use graphs to represent energy consumption modules, and give them energy consumption related properties. Applications show that the software provides a unified graphical, integrated, visual environment for energy-using systems, which effectively enhances flexibility and maneuverability of energy simulation analysis.
