You will need to create some EMS objects before EnergyPlus will generate an EDD file for you. All you need is a single EMS object. I'd suggest adding something simple, such as:

  EnergyManagementSystem:GlobalVariable,
    Test_variable;            !- Erl Variable 1 Name

That should be enough to generate the EDD file.
