[EnergyPlus_Support] The mathematical model of baseboard heater in transent period

["natasamdj" <natasamdj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear,
I have used EnergyPlus for the simulation of baseboard heater. Also, 
I have used GenOpt as well. I have figured almost all mathematical 
models either from User Manual or by myself.

I saw if I make the optimization of the parameters defined with 
Schedule Type, it impies the suddenly jump in the objective function 
each time when the parameter is changed.

Also, I notice that if there is a changing in SetIndoor temperature 
(defined in Schedule Type) then the suddenly jump of HeatRate 
occurs. The behavoir of Baseboard Heater is defined by NTU method. 
But, in that transient moment it is not possible to connect all 
necessary parameters (zone temperature, water flow, specific heat, 
supply water temperature) by using the NTU method.

Please, can you give some advice about that mathematical model? 

Thank you in advance.
