Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

5.4.1 Importance of Model Fidelity of Energy Conversion Technologies

Course subject(s) 5. Multi-carrier Grid Integration

“All models are wrong, but some are useful”

-George Box, statistician

In the last video, the concept of co-simulation was introduced. Within a co-simulation, different models are used to simulate a certain object or system. However, a model can never be completely accurate, and therefore errors can occur. This lecture will discuss the importance of model fidelity and show an example to illustrate the importance of an accurate model.
