[esp-r] Re: Plotting electrical demand

[Jon Hand]

Actually you also need to include the lighting in the electrical network if you want
it to calculate and report on the electrical characteristics via the network facility.
You took the first step but you need to include the lighting in the network.  E.g.
be a conductor to link the lighting to the electrical circuits already in the network.
Perhaps Nick Kelly could provide some examples of similar simple circuits.

Otherwise an approximation would be to plot the combined radiant and convective
of the lighting casual gain and assume that that is equivalent to the electrical
demand of the lighting.

Subject: [esp-r]  Plotting electrical demand

Dear all,

I have been trying to plot the lighting demand for a domestic building.

I have not defined an electrical network however I have chosen to include the electrical data for the lighting within the casual gains section of the operational files. It is my understanding that this would be sufficient to view the electrical demand of the lights through the results analysis module however when I plot the electrical demand for any given period, the load is constantly zero.

Although I know how much electricity the lights are drawing based on the operational file, I wish to plot this against the generation from a photovoltaic array which I have defined.

I can’t think of what could be going on here. Any help would be appreciated.

-Jordan
