Hello to everyone once again,
I posed a question similar to this and Otto S. was kind enough to steer me
in the right direction but I am looking for a bit more assistance if anyone
if familiar with cogeneration or just generator modeling in general. I need
to add a 75 kW co gen unit as an improvement, I was told that this is to be
modeled in a copy of my file and then compared to from the original. So I
went ahead and created a gas fired generator and added a sale meter and all
the appropriate rates, connected the heat output to the DHW loop, and the
model acts as if there is nothing there. My original and my cogen building
look almost identical in sim outputs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below I?m pasting my BDL output that
relates to this
