The heater/tank system may charge at maximum capacity up to an elevated temperature, or float without any heat addition for a specified timeframe down to a minimum tank temperature.</description> <modeler_description>This measure allows selection between three heat pump water heater modeling approaches in EnergyPlus.The user may select between the pumped-condenser or wrapped-condenser objects. They may also elect to use a simplified calculation which does not use the heat pump objects, but instead used an electric resistance heater and approximates the equivalent electrical input that would be required from a heat pump. This expedites simulation at the expense of accuracy. The flexibility of the system is based on user-defined temperatures and times, which are converted into schedule objects. There are four flexibility options. (1) None: normal operation of the DHW system at a fixed tank temperature setpoint. (2) Charge - Heat Pump: the tank is charged to a maximum temperature using only the heat pump. (3) Charge - Electric: the tank is charged using internal electric resistance heaters to a maximum temperature. (4) Float: all heating elements are turned-off for a user-defined time period unless the tank temperature falls below a minimum value. The heat pump will be prioritized in a low tank temperature event, with the electric resistance heaters serving as back-up. </modeler_description> <arguments> <argument> <name>remove_wh</name> <display_name>Remove existing water heater on selected loop</display_name> <description></description> <type>Boolean</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>true</default_value> <choices> <choice> <value>true</value> <display_name>true</display_name> </choice> <choice> <value>false</value> <display_name>false</display_name> </choice> </choices> </argument> <argument> <name>loop</name> <display_name>Select hot water loop</display_name> <description>The water tank will be placed on the supply side of this loop.</description> <type>Choice</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>Error: No Service Water Loop Found</default_value> <choices> <choice> <value>Error: No Service Water Loop Found</value> <display_name>Error: No Service Water Loop Found</display_name> </choice> </choices> </argument> <argument> <name>zone</name> <display_name>Select thermal zone</display_name> <description>This is where the water heater tank will be placed</description> <type>Choice</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>Error: No Thermal Zones Found</default_value> <choices> <choice> <value>Error: No Thermal Zones Found</value> <display_name>Error: No Thermal Zones Found</display_name> </choice> </choices> </argument> <argument> <name>type</name> <display_name>Select heat pump water heater type</display_name> <description></description> <type>Choice</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>PumpedCondenser</default_value> <choices> <choice> <value>PumpedCondenser</value> <display_name>PumpedCondenser</display_name> </choice> <choice> <value>WrappedCondenser</value> <display_name>WrappedCondenser</display_name> </choice> <choice> <value>Simplified</value> <display_name>Simplified</display_name> </choice> </choices> </argument> <argument> <name>vol</name> <display_name>Set hot water tank volume</display_name> <description>[gal]</description> <type>Double</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>80</default_value> </argument> <argument> <name>cap</name> <display_name>Set heat pump heating capacity</display_name> <description>[kW]</description> <type>Double</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>23.4</default_value> </argument> <argument> <name>cop</name> <display_name>Set heat pump rated COP (heating)</display_name> <type>Double</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>2.8</default_value> </argument> <argument> <name>bu_cap</name> <display_name>Set electric backup heating capacity</display_name> <description>[kW]</description> <type>Double</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>23.4</default_value> </argument> <argument> <name>max_temp</name> <display_name>Set maximum tank temperature</display_name> <description>[F]</description> <type>Double</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>160</default_value> </argument> <argument> <name>min_temp</name> <display_name>Set minimum tank temperature during float</display_name> <description>[F]</description> <type>Double</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>120</default_value> </argument> <argument> <name>db_temp</name> <display_name>Set deadband temperature difference between heat pump and electric backup</display_name> <description>[F]</description> <type>Double</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>5</default_value> </argument> <argument> <name>sched</name> <display_name>Select reference tank setpoint temperature schedule</display_name> <description></description> <type>Choice</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>--Create New @ 140F--</default_value> <choices> <choice> <value>--Create New @ 140F--</value> <display_name>--Create New @ 140F--</display_name> </choice> </choices> </argument> <argument> <name>flex0</name> <display_name>Daily Flex Period 1:</display_name> <description>Applies every day in the full run period.</description> <type>Choice</type> <required>true</required> <model_dependent>false</model_dependent> <default_value>None</default_value> <choices> <choice> <value>None</value> <display_name>None</display_name> </choice> <choice> <value>Charge -
