[EnergyPlus_Support] EMS Actuator





I am trying to reset the watts on the following steam generator:

 

SteamEquipment,

    Direct Water,            !- Name

    unconditioned,           !- Zone Name

    Always On,               !- Schedule Name

    EquipmentLevel,          !- Design Level Calculation Method

    50,                      !- Design Level {W}

    ,                        !- Watts per Zone Floor Area {W/m2}

    ,                        !- Watts per Person {W/Person}

    1,                       !- Fraction Latent

    ,                        !- Fraction Radiant

    ,                        !- Fraction Lost

    General;                 !- End-Use Subcategory

 

I assumed I could use an actuator:

 

 EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator,

    MoistureGain,            !- Name

    Direct Water,            !- Actuated Component Unique Name

    SteamEquipment,          !- Actuated Component Type

    Design Level {W};        !- Actuated Component Control Type

 

But this causes a system crash, so I must not be doing this correctly.  I also tried to manipulate the schedule and could not get the right values to avoid crashing.  Can someone give me a little guidance?
