How to set chillers operating alternately?

Hi everyone, I am simulating a building with two electric chillers which are same type( same capacity, energy consumption) in EnergyPlus. In reality two chillers are operating alternately(when "Chiller01" is operating, "Chiller02" turns off), how should I set operate strategy in EnergyPlus? Is it only I set 365 days operate strategies to simulate? Or I should only set a single chiller in EnergyPlus.

If there is any response, then I would be very grateful.

Sincerely, Yueh-Chin
