Example model for district cooling system with
an electric chiller plant and a direct controlled ETS at each building
This model illustrates an example of district cooling system,
consisting of a cooling plant with parallel electric chillers
(
Buildings.DHC.Plants.Cooling.ElectricChillerParallel),
a two-pipe distribution network with plug flow pipes (
Buildings.DHC.Networks.Distribution2PipePlugFlow_v),
and time series building load that have directly connected ETS
with the chilled water return temperatures controlled above a minimum
threshold
(
Buildings.DHC.Loads.Cooling.BuildingTimeSeriesWithETS).
This configuration is illustrated in the schematic below.

Changed call to loadResources
. This is needed for Dymola 2024x beta1 on Linux.
-
January 2, 2023, by Kathryn Hinkelman:
Revised chilled water pump controls to be constant speed and running 1-and-1 with the chillers.
Changed building-side ets from direct uncontrolled to controlled.
Revised distribution network from fixed resistance pipes to plug flow pipes.

December 21, 2022, by Kathryn Hinkelman:
Corrected dpMea
location to be at the terminal building.
Removed in-building pumping for direct uncontrolled ETS example.
This is for #2912.

Relocated dp sensor for CHW pump control to most distal building.
This is for #2912.
