There are two means of accessing electrical information.  <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <![if !supportLists]>1)      <![endif]>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. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <![if !supportLists]>2)      <![endif]>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.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> There are a couple of exemplars with electrical networks – the sports centre with CHP and the factory with the PV façade.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Regards,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Nick Kelly <o:p></o:p> <div> ------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p> Dr Nick Kelly<o:p></o:p> Senior Lecturer <o:p></o:p> Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering  <o:p></o:p> and <o:p></o:p> Associate Director<o:p></o:p> Energy Systems Research Unit <o:p></o:p> University of Strathclyde <o:p></o:p> James Weir Building (Rm 8.14c)<o:p></o:p> 75 Montrose St<o:p></o:p> Glasgow G1 1XJ<o:p></o:p> t: +44 (0)141 574 5083<o:p></o:p> e: <a href="mailto:nicolas.kelly@strath.ac.uk">nicolas.kelly@strath.ac.uk</a><o:p></o:p> ------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p> <img border="0" width="291" height="76" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CF5A56.C11F6060" alt="Description: THE LOGO 2013"><o:p></o:p> The University of Strathclyde is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC015263<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm"> From: esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk [mailto:esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Gül Nihal Gügül Sent: 17 April 2014 15:41 To: esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk Subject: [esp-r] casual gains and electricity consumption<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div> Dear All,<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> 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? <o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Thanks<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Regards<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Gul<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
