Hi All,

Can anyone assist on modelling a gas fuelled Fuel Cell m-CHP in a domestic dwelling? The type of energy system that I am trying to model is similar to the one shown in the image below:

The building modelling is already modelled on EnergyPlus, however, I am trying to adapt it with fuel cells. The unique example I saw from the EnergyPlus documentation is the MicroCogeneration.idf file. The example file is based on the REFERENCE: "Experimental Investigation of Residential Cogeneration Devices and Calibration of Annex 42 Models." A report of Subtask B of IEA/ECBCS Annex 42, which is available from http://cogen-sim.net/.

It is being a bit frustrating because even in the Energyplus HTML-documentation (http://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/8-5/) I found it very hard to understand. Hence, a bunch of errors...

For any interest, my .idf file is also attached here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6vqr7y7enauewj8/Control_Home-FC_2.idf?dl=0
