For the .edd, use an Output:EnergyManagementSystem object. You also need some other EMS objects like EnergyManagementSystem:ProgramCallingManager. Yes it is a chicken and the egg situation -- but similiar to working with the .rdd file. The reason it ends up that way is to improve performance when no EMS is being used; if no EMS related input is present the program can avoid all kinds of routines and the actuators and sensors don't actually exist.
