Does anybody have any insight on this?
We're trying to use the plant analyzer to test some chillers against each other. However, when we modeled our ice storage unit, we ended up spending a lot more money than the base chiller in the project and this doesn't seem to make sense. Has anybody successfully modeled an ice storage system that might be able to help me get this set up?
Did you read the blog on ICE storage? It links to an example file.
The key is your rate structure. You will only save money with ice storage if your rate structure is set up to do so.
