Ice Thermal Storage schedule on DesignBuilder
Hello everyone,
I am trying to integrate Ice Thermal Storage upstream from a water-cooled chiller. I have set the operation type of the CHW Loop as thermal energy storage. I am having an issue related to the chiller schedule. The chillers still only seem to be operating during the on-peak times rather than charging the storage overnight. I am unable to attach screenshots so I have written the details below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
CHW Plant loop availability schedule: On 24/7
Operation Type: Thermal energy storage Operation Schedule: On 24/7 Storage on-peak schedule: 7:00 - 18:00 Charging availability schedule: 19:00 - 7:00
Priority Ice storage: 1 Chiller: 2
