AddDistributedIceStorageToAirLoopForLoadFlexibility
Add Distributed Ice Storage to Air Loop for Load Flexibility
This measure removes the cooling coils in the model and replaces them with packaged air conditioning units with integrated ice storage.
This measure applies to packaged single zone air conditioning systems or packaged variable air volume systems that were originally modeled with CoilSystem:Cooling:DX or AirLoopHVAC:UnitarySystem container objects. It adds a Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed:ThermalStorage coil object to each user-selected thermal zone and deletes the existing cooling coil.
Users inputs are accepted for cooling coil size, ice storage size, system control method, modes of operation, and operating schedule.
The measure requires schedule objects and performance curves from an included resource file TESCurves.idf. Output variables of typical interest are included as well.
