In eQuest I could setup a hourly report to give me the total connected load on the chilled water loop for all 8760 hours of the year. I normally combine this with the outdoor air dry bulb and wetbulb for simulation of a custom chilled water plant.
I am new to energyplus and cannot figure out how to do the same using Openstudio. Any bumps in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
This put me in the right direction. I had already found the output variable I needed but just wasn't sure it was the correct one so this verified my assumptions. Also, the link was a great reference. Thank You.
I don't know about OS, but in EnergyPlus there is an input object called LoadProfile:Plant. This can be used to put a load on a chiller plant and run models with no building.
LoadProfile:Plant is available in OpenStudio (since I think v1.9.0). It can be found in the Library pane of the HVAC Systems tab.
This didn't directly answer my question but did clue me into a new capability I didn't realize was available. I do a lot of chiller plants so this will be a big help. Thanks, Jason
