ÂI have a central plant that I would like to simulate that has a steam turbine driven chiller. Is there any way to do this with EnergyPlus? There is no steam turbine driven chiller object (although there is a combustion turbine driven chiller). Â
I had been thinking that maybe there is a way to do it by using a steam turbine generator object and linking it to the chiller, but there seems to be no objects that relate to a steam turbine (generator, pump drive or otherwise.
Any ideas?
