modelEnable

Information

This example validates Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.Plants.Chillers.Generic.PlantEnable.Enable. It shows different conditions to enable and disable the plant.

• For instance disPlaReq, the input chiPlaReq becomes greater than the ignorable request ignReq at 32400 seconds and becomes less than the ignorable request at 33000 seconds. The plant is enabled at 32400 seconds, but becomes disabled at 33300 seconds. It allows the plant being enabled for 15 minutes and then becomes disabled.
• For instance disPlaOutTem, the input TOut becomes greater than the lockout temperature TChiLocOut at 4382 seconds. The plant becomes enabled. At 39877.7 seconds, the input TOut becomes lower than the lockout temperature TChiLocOut by 0.556 °C. The plant becomes disabled.
• For instance disPlaSch, the chiller enabling schedule specifies that the plant should be enabled at 600 seconds. However, the plant becomes enabled at 900 seconds as it allows the plant being disabled for 15 minutes. The plant becomes disabled at 68400 seconds, which is specified in the plant scheduling.
