[Equest-users] EQuest Photvoltaic Module

[Vikram Sami]

Kathryn,

I think it depends on what reports you are looking at. I think eQUEST
reports the PV calculations after the plant calculations, so it will
show up in all your utility level reports (BEPS, BEPU, ES-D etc), but
not in your plant level reports (PS-F etc). So for instance when you
look at the eQUEST simulation results view, your parametric run reports
will show it in only a few limited places - the annual & monthly utility
bills, as well as the source energy in the building summary of the
parametric reports. 

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Equest-users] EQuest Photvoltaic Module

 

Has anyone successfully inserted a photovoltaic array into an eQuest
energy model? I found an example in the Dictionary, created a
photovoltaic module and an inverter and attached it to the EM1 utility
meter. However, the model's total energy consumption did not change with
this model addition. Since the model uses a Hawaii weather file, I am
thinking that there should be some reduction in energy consumption. I
have attached the inputs I used and the warning message I got from the
output file. Can anyone figure out what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
