Simulate Chiller with specified NPLV

I would like to simulate a chiller which has excellent part-load performance. Although its full-load kW/ton is not good, its NPLV is very low.

However, there are only inputs for full-load COP and curves in OpenStudio. If I don't have chiller performance data from manufacturer for curve generation. How could I input the NPLV to simulate the chiller with good part-load performance?

I tried to find the chiller data with similar performance in E+ library, but the curve name only shows the full-load curve and I don't know how to check the NPLV of those chillers in E+ dataset. Any advice or ideas?
