Fan:SystemModel doesn't calculate energy consumption

I was using the Fan:ConstantVolume object and my results showed the consumption of all the Fans. However, when replacing for the Fan:SystemModel object, only the energy consumption is zero, but there is normal mass flow in the loop. Looking at the branch, the fields "component object type = Fan: SystemModel" and "component name" are red. I'm sure I put the fans on Fan:SystemModel and that the names are correct. However, when I try to select the component object type = Fan:SystemModel does not appear in the options, so I had to insert it by typing. My e+ version is 8.9, so the Fan:SystemModel object is already available. I have change the fan object because i would like to used multi-speed fans.

How can i fix it?
