Thanks!
The GenSet will operate based on electrical demand, not thermal. We do have thermal storage, and excess heat will be rejected to the GenSet radiator. I’ll check out the MicroCogen example as you suggest.

Subject: RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Heat Recovery from a GenSet
Jim,
It depends if you want thermal storage for the heat from the generator and how the generator is controlled.
If you don’t want storage and want the generator to be operated to follow the thermal load, then it can go directly on the supply side in parallel with the boiler (no second loop at all). If you want to store the heat and run the generator based on electrical control, then put the generator on the demand side of a second loop with a wate
