[Equest-users] thermal storage

[Otto Schwieterman]

eQUEST can control the discharge but it is very limited. 

 

You can create a Load Management and use it to control when the ice tank
charges and discharges. This can be done by creating an equipment
control schedule for the load management to tell when the ice tank will
be charged and discharge. This will also require equipment controls
sequences for charging and discharging.

 

With the equipment controls you can state the maximum MBtu/h charge and
discharge rate. 

 

There are definitely limitations but there is some control.

eQuest cannot control the discharge, so sometimes before the peak of
electric tariff, there is no cooling energy contained.

 

I think you can export the hourly report of the thermal storage, and
modify the load control strategy, there will be a slightly change in
money.

Does anyone know of any simple software that can be used to roughly
estimate the saving from ice/chilled water storage? The saving that I
get with e-quest is much lower than I expected.

 

Thanks
