Available provision profile allows selection of a profile from the database to define the availability of the Cooling Generator due to manual operation. If a schedule is not required, the profile should be defined as “on continuously”.
Electricity consumption metered
The Electricity consumption metered option allows the user to determine whether the electricity consumption of the Cooling Generator should be considered as part of the network. If the box is checked (the condition is true), it is assumed that the electricity consumed by the Cooling Generator has already been included in a general electricity demand meter.
Maximum output
Maximum output defines the maximum amount of cooling that the Cooling Generator can produce. The cooling generation is equal to the demand value at the node unless the demand value exceeds the maximum output. If this is the case, the cooling provided is equal to the maximum output. The demand value is calculated by the energy manager.
COP curve
A COP curve defines the coefficient of performance of the Cooling generator as a function of the Capacity. Capacity values should be entered as a proportion of the maximum capacity. A COP Curve Editor is accessed by double clicking on the COP curve input value, then selecting the edit button that appears in the field.
