[EnergyPlus_Support] Null flow rate in micro CHP

["Stefano Galli" <ste_gallo82@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, I'm trying to simulate a plant using a micro CHP element, which 
is placed on the source side of a water heater. I've selected the 
autosize choice in the water heater's  and the plant loop's fields that 
asked about the flow rates. The calculated value for the loop 
containing the micro CHP is always 0. Even when I forced the pump's 
flow rate to a certain value, the CHP seemed not to work.
I tried to modify the plant loops in many ways: at least I've built a 
plant with just one loop with only CHP and baseboards, but the result 
is always the same.

I've upload the idf file "CHP plant.idf"
Thank you

Stefano
