Why the generators stop working when selected "Follow Thermal"
Hello Brent,
I did some changes as follows:
I have tried to replace the Generator:MicroCHP with a Generator:Combustion
rated at 10kW based on the MicroCoGeneration.idf file. So the generator is
already on the supply side of the plant loop. The simulation result is: When
the generator is selected as "Base Load", electrical output is 10kW,
and also some thermal output come up with it. However, When the generator is
selected as "Follow Thermal", again the electrical and thermal output
go down to zero.
I could not find how to upload my file, can you let me know your email, so I
can send to you my file.
Thank you very much!
Best,
Peng

currently providing around 50% of the total heating load (generator operation
scheme: follow thermal), but I want the MicroCHP unit provide 100% heating
load. Because the Generator:MicroCHP is not normalized, I can not simply
increase its capacity from current 5kW to 10kW, so I added another MicroCHP
unit working parallel with the first one. But the simulation result is: the

output, My question is: How can the two MicroCHP units working parallel at
their rated output to meet the thermal load?
