Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Chilled water storage problems



Is that error occurring because there is still a request for output regarding the water tank, yet the tank is gone?  

   **   ~~~   ** Invalid Meter spec for variable=:Water Heater  Consumption [J]
This line says to me that there is still an output variable trying to connect to water heater consumption.  Delete any output variables relating to this and try to run, see if you get any other errors.

Thanks,
Edwin

Without looking at your input file, I can't tell.  It may be one of the problems we fixed in V3.1

I'd encourage you to forward the message and attach the input file to:

I'm trying to simulate a system with chilled water storage (using EnergyPlus 3.0).  I'm starting from the example file 5ZoneVAV-ChilledWaterStorage-Mixed.idf, which runs fine.  I tried removing the service hot water system from the example file (I deleted the wateruse:equipment and wateruse:connections objects for each zone and all of the SHWSys1 loop - from line 4628 to line 4956 in the unedited example), but when I try to run it I get the following errors:

   ** Severe  ** GetStandardMeterResourceType: Illegal OutResourceType (for Meters) Entered=
   **   ~~~   ** Invalid Meter spec for variable=:Water Heater  Consumption [J]
   ** Severe  ** GetStandardMeterResourceType: Illegal OutResourceType (for Meters) Entered=

   ** Severe  ** GetStandardMeterResourceType: Illegal OutResourceType (for Meters) Entered=
   **   ~~~   ** Invalid Meter spec for variable=:Water Heater On-Cycle Parasitic  Consumption [J]

The errors are a bit strange because there is no Water Heater object in the file once I have deleted the SHWSys1 loop and associated branches.  These errors occur even if I remove all of the output:variable and report objects.  Any idea what's causing this?
