SAMME DAG kl. 0900:

Professor William A. Beckman, director of the renowned the University of
Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering's Solar Energy Lab (SEL), will
lecture on the latest developments of the simulation programs TRNSYS and EES.


The guest lecture will be held in

Rådsalen, Hovedbygningen, Gløshaugen
Monday December 7, 1998, 0900

(prior to Øystein Ulleberg's "prøveforelesning" at 1015

Professor Beckman's lecture will be based on the latest
developments of the computer programs TRNSYS (a TRNsient
SYStem simulation program (TRNSYS) and EES (Engineering
Equation Solver).

The modular energy systems program TRNSYS, which is used
throughout the world, is a product of the Solar Energy
Laboratory. Graduate student theses often result in
extensions to the TRNSYS program by providing new or updated
models of energy equipment that can be incorporated into
omplex system models. Through the TRNSYS environment,
equipment models can be shared among energy system
researchers and designers. TRNSYS has the flexibility to
model any energy system since the program is designed to be
modified by specialized users.

EES (pronounced 'ease') is an acronym for Engineering
Equation Solver. The basic function provided by EES is the
solution of a set of algebraic equations. EES can
efficiently solve hundreds of coupled non-linear algebraic
equations. EES can also be used to solve initial value
differential equations.

Professor Beckman's interests include solar energy, building
energy analysis, and radiation heat transfer. His research
analyzes complex energy systems through computer
simulations. He brings research results into the classroom
through courses in general heat transfer, thermodynamics
and solar energy applications.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering's
Solar Energy Lab (SEL) is the oldest of its kind in the
world. For more information goto:
