TBEEAM is a Modelica library that facilitates the creation of simulation models of building electrical systems using templates. TBEEAM provides a set of example templates along with guidance on how to create new templates for other electrical system architectures. TBEEAM is designed for use with RDF2EMO, a python library that semi-automatically creates Modelica simulation models of whole-building electrical systems from RDF semantic models. RDF2EMO and TBEEAM enable users without significant Modelica or software development expertise to create whole-building simulation models.
This repository, TBEEAM, is a fork of the original BEEAM repository.
Most technical documentation, model names, and historical references in this codebase still use the name "BEEAM" because they originate from upstream materials. In TBEEAM, those references should generally be interpreted as referring to this fork unless noted otherwise.
TBEEAM (Template-Based Building Electrical Efficiency Analysis Model) is a Modelica library focused on simulation of building electrical systems using templates and harmonic power flow. TBEEAM has the following features in addition to BEEAM:
- Model a different set of electrical distribution architectures using templates
- Create new templates using template components for any additonal architectures

To install and use TBEEAM in Modelon Impact, clone this repository directly in the Modelon Impact environment and add it to the workspace.
To install and use TBEEAM with other Modelica simulation environment (OpenModelica, Dymola, Wolfram System Modeler, MapleSim, etc.), follow these instructions:
- Download TBEEAM by cloning this repository (for legacy upstream releases, https://github.com/NatLabRockies/BEEAM)
- Extract the archive at a convenient location
- Go to the File menu and select Open
- Navigate to and select
HPF/package.mo(relative to the respository root directory)
The library will load and the user should be able to HPF listed in the library viewer.
TBEEAM has been tested in the following Modelica environment:
- Modelon Impact 4.113.0
BEEAM (upstream) has been tested in other Modelica environments.
