Hello Friends,
I am modelling an office building which is run on electricity generated
by natural gas fired generators (say, NGG). The exhaust heat is being
used to run a 2-stage absorption chiller to provide complete space
cooling for the building. However I have modeled exhaust heat as heat
recovered in a hot water loop which also had to be supplemented by a
boiler since eQUEST cannot model it without.
Now the issues are:
1. Is this a good way to model the cooling? I will appreciate any
nuances if someone can share those with me.
2. Understanding of one key utility meter report "EGen" in BEPS/ BEPU.
Please check out "GG input.jpeg". EGen, ESrp and FInp are allocated
in the NGG Input box in the tabs electric meter, Surplus meter and
Fuel meter respectively. FM1 is attached to the hot water exhaust
coming from the GG Set. EM1 and FM2 are left default without any
assignments. Another meter "EM3" which is a sub meter to EGen
utility meter is reporting part consumption of all electricity usage
in the building, however PS-F report shows complete energy
consumption as 39XXXXX kWh units both in EGen (Utility) and EM3 (sub
meter). Now the big questions are :
* Is EGen and its sub meter EM3 indicating the fraction of energy
consumption from the whole or additional amount of energy
requirement for the building which NGG was unable to provide?
* If it is the additional energy requirement, then why is surplus
meter showing any reading?
* Is FInp and FM1 reporting overall gas consumption by the NGG?
I look forward to any inputs on these issues.
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Anup

Can I get unsuscribed from the list? Thanks!
Hello Friends,

I would like to re-frame the second issue stated yesterday again:
2. EGen (electricity utility meter), ESrp (electricity surplus meter)
and FInp (naturral gas utility meter) are allocated to the NGG. FM1
(naturral gas utility meter) is attached to the hot water loop heat
recovery from the NGG. Another meter "EM3" is an electricity sub meter
to EGen utility meter. EGen is reporting part consumption 6XXXXX kWh of
all electricity usage in the building as per the BEPU report versus the
PS-F report shows that must show the complete energy consumption of the
building (both EGen and EM3 submeter, explained above) show 39XXXXX kWh.
Now the big questions are :
* What energy is the EGen indicating as the fraction (almost 1/6th in
BEPS/ BEPU) of the total energy consumption reported in PS-F for
both EGen and EM3 meters?
* If it is the additional energy requirement, then why is surplus
meter showing any reading at all?
After re-reading my question on the post, I felt it was a bit confusing,
thus resending this in a more crisper language.
Thanks and I look forward,
