modelSpeed_primary_remoteDp

Validate sequence of controlling chilled water pump speed for primary-only plants with remote DP sensor hardwired to the plant controller

Information

This example validates Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.Plants.Chillers.Pumps.ChilledWater.Subsequences.Speed_primary_remoteDp.

It shows the process of specifying the chilled water pump speed for a primary-only plant, with two remote pressure sensors hardwired to the controller.

  • Both of the pumps become enabled at 1 second. Thus, the pump speed setpoint becomes non-zero.
  • After 1 second, the two remote pressure sensors have the measured values higher than the setpoint. The reverse acting PID controller thus gives the minimum output. Thus, the pump speed is minimum.
  • When the measured values become lower than the setpoint, the reverse-acting PID controller increases the output, thus increasing the chilled water pump speed up to the maximum.
