Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Series Chiller Opeartion

[Edwin Lee <leeed2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think PlantEquipmentOperation:ComponentSetpoint should achieve what you are looking for.  Having them in series could cause some complications, but I believe the operation of the downstream chiller will be established using up-to-date entering conditions (from the outlet of the first chiller).

Dear All,

Does anybody know how to control the operation of series chiller operation using EnergyPlus.

Actually, I am simulating a series chiller case (say chiller on and chiller two) in EnergyPlus. I want to use chiller one cover the cooling load first. and then chiller two will cover the first. But I can to add some operation control on chiller two. For example, if the chiller two entering chilled water temperature (leaving chiller water temperature) is below certain degree, the chiller two will be turned off, otherwise it turns on.

Can I use setpoint manager to control these two chillers' operation? Thanks in advance.
