[esp-r] Re: casual gains and electricity consumption

[Nicolas Kelly]

Dear Gul,

ESP-r only calculates the electrical demand if you explicitly define the electrical characteristics of the casual gains that you are interested in such as lighting or small power loads. There are two means of accessing electrical information.


1)      When defining the casual gains for each zone there is an “electrical data” option, which allows you to put in the electrical data for each gain. ESP-r will then calculate the electrical demand of each load for which electrical data has been defined and you can then access the aggregate zone electrical demand through the results module.


2)      A more advanced option is to define an electrical network in ESP-r (which requires some electrical knowledge) and link the casual gains (with electrical data) into that network; this allows you to model linked networks of microgenerators, building loads and HVAC equipment and explicitly track electrical power flows.


There are a couple of exemplars with electrical networks – the sports centre with CHP and the factory with the PV façade.

Regards,

Nick Kelly

Subject: [esp-r] casual gains and electricity consumption

Dear All,

My question is when I define lights and small power equipment in "casual gains"  section of "operqtional details" section, effect of energy consumption of these equipments is considered in heating demand. when esp-r is calculating electricity consumption does it take these values into account?

Thanks

Regards

Gul
