Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] line limitation of Schedule:Compact



(365*24*60)  -- yes, generally looks okay.

I usually find it better to put in the default fields, just in case

So I would do it:
Schedule:File,
test, !- Name
Any Number,  !- Schedule Type Limits Name
test.csv,  !- File Name
2,  !- Column Number
0,  !- Rows to Skip at Top
8760,  !- Number of Hours of Data
Comma,  !- Column Separator
No,   !- Interpolate to Timestep
1; !- Minutes per Item

Thanks Jim and Linda.  Is the following schedule file format (assuming 365*34*60 rows) correct?  Â

2,  !- Column Number

You might consider using Schedule:File.  Versions of EnergyPlus 8.1 (I believe) and later can handle those.

Schedule:Compact may be able to but you're giving yourself extra work because you would need to add lines like "Until ".  Schedule:Compact can handle 4500 fields and then, since it's extensible, would automatically add to each one.

See last field in definition:

Schedule:File,
 \min-fields 5
       \memo A Schedule:File points to a text computer file that has 8760-8784 hours of data.
  A1 , \field Name
       \required-field
       \type alpha
       \reference ScheduleNames
  A2 , \field Schedule Type Limits Name
       \type object-list
       \object-list ScheduleTypeLimitsNames
  A3 , \field File Name
       \required-field
       \retaincase
  N1 , \field Column Number
       \required-field
       \type integer
       \minimum 1
  N2 , \field Rows to Skip at Top
       \required-field
       \type integer
       \minimum 0
  N3 , \field Number of Hours of Data
       \note 8760 hours does not account for leap years, 8784 does.
       \note should be either 8760 or 8784
       \default 8760
       \minimum 8760
       \maximum 8784
  A4 , \field Column Separator
       \type choice
       \key Comma
       \key Tab
       \key Fixed
       \key Semicolon
       \default Comma
  A5 , \field Interpolate to Timestep
       \note when the interval does not match the user specified timestep a "Yes" choice will average between the intervals request (to
       \note timestep resolution.  a "No" choice will use the interval value at the simulation timestep without regard to if it matches
       \note the boundary or not.
       \type choice
       \key Yes
       \key No
       \default No
  N4 ; \field Minutes per Item
       \note Must be evenly divisible into 60
       \type integer
       \minimum 1
       \maximum 60

Hi all,

We will have a schedule whose interval is set to 1 minute for a whole year, that is, there are 365*24*60 line items for the schedule. �  �

Is it allowed in EPlus to specify so many lines for Schedule:Compact?�  Because generating the schedule needs some time and design, I need to know whether it is possible to allow using such a large amount of lines in EnergyPlus beforehand.�

Thank you,
Sean
