Hello, I'm simulating water heating and I need to create certain condition and I dont know how to create it properly.

Required temperature of water is 55 °C. Minimal temperature is 50 °C. Maximum temperature is 70 °C.

I have 2 types of heating - electrical heating which heats water to required temperature 55 °C and photovoltaic heating which can heat water to maximum temperature.

I need to create condition which turn on electrical heating only if temperature drops below 50 °C and stops after reaching 55 °C. If the temperature is between 50 and 55 without dropping under 50 °C only photovoltaic heating is possible and electrical heating is off.

Temperature is checked every minute for whole year. Conditions will be placed in for cycle. I dont know how to create condition for starting electrical heating under 50 and stopping at 55.

Something like that:

if temperature < 70
photovoltaic on
else 
everything off
if temperature < 50
electrical heating on and stops at 55°C

Thanks for advice.

  if temperature(iMinute) < 50
    electric = true;
  elseif temperature(iMinute) > 55
    electric = false;
  end
  photovoltaic = (temperature(iMinute) < 70);

Thank you for reaction. Maybe I need to write more details becouse I dont get how to get it work on my code. It still stops at minimal temperature.

I will show you how I am doing it right now, without condition for required temperature.

for i = 1:525600
    if (temeprature(i) < 70)
           heating = 1; %heating from photovoltaic
       else
           heating = 0; % heating off
       end
         if (temperature(i) < 50)
             heating = 2; % electric heating when there is not enough power from PV   
         end
    if heating==0
     calculations
     calling functions
     etc.
     ...
     end
    if heating==1
     calculations
     calling functions
     etc.
     ...
     end 
    if heating==2
     calculations
     calling functions
     etc.
     ...
     end 
    end

If I try try to add this:

if (temperature(i) < 50)
             heating = 2; % electric heating when there is not enough power from PV 
  elseif (temperature(i) > 55)
            heating = 0;  
         end

It still stops at 50 °C.

Thank you for your time.

It means, that it ignores 55 °C condition and heats the water just to 50 °C. If temperature drops under 50 due to heat loss or water consuption, water is heated again just to 50.

Temperature is changed according to condition "0", "1" or "2". In each condition I'am calculating how much energy I put into water from water heater with some power output (e.g. 2000 W). Obviously if condition heater == 0 is on (temperature is > 70 °C), no energy flows into water and temperature is just dropping.

To prevent from too many on/off cycles of water heater I need to set up some delay by required temperature at 55 °C so the heater will turn on again after temperature drops by 5 °C and not for example just 0,5 °C (from 50 to 49,5 and turning on heater do 50 again).

EDIT: If I make simplification by setting power of photovoltaic heater to 0, it keeps temperature just at 50 °C (oscilating around it). I want it to rise at 55, drops to 50 (due to losses) and after that switch heater on.

With photovoltaic on it looks like this:

Higher power in summer, higher possible temperature.

If I add condition as in the previous post, then in looks like first graph.

Maybe it looks difficult, but it cant be :D. Just one condition to switch on heater under 50 and stop it at 55. After that, ignore temperature between 50 and 55 with electrical heating. Photovoltaic can run as it please if there is enough power from sun.

@LamaObencna: The code you have shown here, does not contain the code for changing the temperature. The part of detecting, which heating is enabled, was discussed exhaustively already, and it cannot cause the observed behavior alone. You can replace it for testing: Keep the photovoltaic and/or electric heating enabled manually and examine, what happens.

Something like "it ignores 55 °C condition" cannot happen. Matlab is not in a bad mood and ignores any line. I really want to help you and I'm convinced the problem is not included in the part of the code, which has been posted here. So please start testing the code I've suggested if it enables the heat sources exactly as you want it. Then we can proceed and find out, why the correct values do not yield the expected result in the change of the temperature.

Done. I figured it out with help of community of stackoverflow, basicly very similar to your idea. I should show whole code, it would be easier to get it work, my mistake. Anyway, thank you for your time and advice. I have marked your answer as accepted becouse it was right direction.
