 | Please, put here your assignments. Do not forget to sign them. You can use ~~~~ (four tildas) for an automatic signature. Use Show preview in order to check the result before your final sumbition. |
| Please, strive to formulate your assignment carefully. We expect an adequate effort to formulate the assignment as it is your semestral paper. Do not forget that your main goal is a research paper. It means your simulation model must generate the results that are specific, measurable and verifiable. Think twice how you will develop your model, which entities you will use, draw a model diagram, consider what you will measure. No sooner than when you have a good idea about the model, submit your assignment. And of course, read How to deal with the simulation assignment. |
 | In order to avoid possible confusion, please, check if you have added approved in bold somewhere in our comment under your submission. If there is no approved, it means the assignment was not approved yet. |

THIS IS JUST A DRAFT
Most households in the Czech Republic have mains gas central heating. This is a so-called ‘wet system’, which means a gas-fired boiler heats water to provide central heating through radiators and hot water through the taps in your home.
Some houses that aren’t connected to the gas network can use electrical heating or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or heating oil, which work in a similar way to gas central heating, although LPG and oil are delivered by road and stored in a tank, which you may have to buy or rent from your supplier.
Gas is a highly efficient fuel, so you get a good return on every unit of energy. Modern condensing boilers, which use hot flue gases that are wasted in a standard boiler, have very high efficiency. Some are now 90% or more efficient.
I have recently acquired condensing boiler. Manufacturers claim that up to 98% thermal efficiency can be achieved, compared to 70%-80% with conventional designs (based on the higher heating value of fuels).
The control of the domestic condensing boiler is crucial to ensuring that it operates in the most economic and fuel efficient way.
Almost all have modulating burners. The burners are usually controlled by an embedded system with built-in logic to control the output of the burner to match the load and give best performance.
There are also many possible adjustements based on scheduling. I live in a flat with 5 more people. Problem is that some of them prefer ...
I will use simprocess.
