Hi Nadish,
Let’s summarise the question. You would like to cycle your system ON and OFF in both cooling and heating mode. The operation in the heating mode should be:
Similarly, the operation in the cooling mode should be:
We can identify three control zones in the attached diagram.
The task is to apply this control login within EnergyPlus by using EMS. The crude way of achieving this is to override the system availability schedule (AvailabilityManager:Scheduled > Packaged Rooftop Air Conditioner Availability Manager).
In your example the system availability schedule (Always On Discrete) is used by many other objects. You need to create new schedule:constant (let’s name it Cycle) and apply it to the Packaged Rooftop Air Conditioner Availability Manager.
Schedule:Constant,Cycle,OnOff,1; ! New schedule object
AvailabilityManager:Scheduled, ! Updated Availability Manager
Packaged Rooftop Air Conditioner Availability Manager,
Cycle;
To be able to create desired control logic you need to have three EMS sensors: Zone Mean Air Temperature, Zone Thermostat Heating Setpoint Temperature, and Zone Thermostat Cooling Setpoint Temperature.
EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor,
AptTemp,
Thermal Zone 1,
Zone Mean Air Temperature;
EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor,
hSP,
Thermal Zone 1,
Zone Thermostat Heating Setpoint Temperature;
EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor,
cSP,
Thermal Zone 1,
Zone Thermostat Cooling Setpoint Temperature;
In addition to EMS sensors you need an EMS Actuator which will overwrite the “Cycle” schedule (basically switches system ON and OFF)
EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator,
AvailSCH_Overwrite,
Cycle,
Schedule:Constant,
Schedule Value;
The EMS Program Calling Manager specifies when the ERL program is executed. In this case the condition of zone air temperature and system operation should be checked at the beginning of each timestep.
EnergyManagementSystem:ProgramCallingManager,
Supervision,
BeginTimestepBeforePredictor,
HVAC_uncontolledloop_Supervision;
Last thing is the ERL program which actually integrates the control logic into the E+. If the zone air temperature is between setpoints, keep the system OFF (I introduces a small error of 0.01C due to system can maintain the zone temperature very close to the setpoint, for example within the range of 0.00something). If the system has been switched OFF and the zone air starts cooling (in the heating mode) or heating (in the cooling mode) but not exits the boundaries set by Toffset, than keep the system OFF. In any other case the system should be operated.
EnergyManagementSystem:Program,
HVAC_uncontolledloop_Supervision,
SET Toffset = 0.556,
IF AptTemp > (hSP - 0.01) && AptTemp < (cSP + 0.01),
SET AvailSCH_Overwrite = 0,
ELSEIF AvailSCH_Overwrite == 0 && AptTemp >= (hSP - Toffset) && AptTemp <= (cSP + Toffset),
SET AvailSCH_Overwrite = 0,
ELSE,
SET AvailSCH_Overwrite = 1,
ENDIF;
This operation will cycle your system in minimum timestep intervals (5 minutes in your case). The impact of this is that the zone air temperature can drop/rise by significantly more than Toffset during one timestep. The improved operation should be to change the Calling point from BeginTimestepBeforePredictor
to InsideHVACSystemIterationLoop
. In this case the AptTemp sensor should use Zone Air Temperature Output:Variable instead of Zone Mean Air Temperature Output:Variable. This will improve control accuracy within Toffset boundaries; however, the system cycling ON/OFF will be much often.
The more sophisticated control would be to switch off the fan, cooling coil and heating coil (as well as to adjust the system availability) depending on the system requirements. However, I do not expect large difference in outputs.
First there is a need for more schedules
Schedule:Constant,FanAvail,OnOff,1; ! Assign to AvailabilityManager:Scheduled and to Fan:ConstantVolume objects
Schedule:Constant,HCAvail,OnOff,1; ! Assign to Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed and to CoilSystem:Cooling:DX objects

SET FanAvail_Overwrite = 0,
SET HCAvail_Overwrite = 0,
SET CCAvail_Overwrite = 0,
ELSEIF FanAvail_Overwrite == 0 && AptTemp >= (hSP - Toffset) && AptTemp <= (cSP + Toffset),
SET FanAvail_Overwrite = 0,
SET HCAvail_Overwrite = 0,
SET CCAvail_Overwrite = 0,

SET FanAvail_Overwrite = 1,
SET HCAvail_Overwrite = 1,
ELSEIF AptTemp > (cSP + Toffset),
SET FanAvail_Overwrite = 1,
SET CCAvail_Overwrite = 1,
ENDIF;
You can also check the operation when the EMS calling point is changed from BeginTimestepBeforePredictor
to InsideHVACSystemIterationLoop
(Don’t forget to change the Output:Variable in the AptTemp sensor from Zone Mean Air Temperature to Zone Air Temperature).
