1.       Create a global parameter – I chose to call it “Tracking Mode” and to use numeric values to toggle the setting.

2.       Add an expression to the tracking mode dropdown in the meter(s) of interest by right-clicking and selecting the option in the context menu:

3.       I used the doe2 default expression (what determines the green text) as the starting point, so if you opt to specify a tracking schedule of any kind this input will default to “n/a” (unused).  My additions to the default expression are highlighted for clarity, for anyone interested:

if (#RV(#L("COGEN-TRACK-SCH")) == 0)

then unused

else switch(#PA("Tracking Mode"))

     case 1 : #SI("DONT-RUN","ELEC-METER","COGEN-TRACK-MODE")

     case 2 : #SI("TRACK-THERMAL","ELEC-METER","COGEN-TRACK-MODE")

     case 3 : #SI("TRACK-LESSER","ELEC-METER","COGEN-TRACK-MODE")

     case 4 : #SI("TRACK-GREATER","ELEC-METER","COGEN-TRACK-MODE")

     case 5 : #SI("MAX-OUTPUT","ELEC-METER","COGEN-TRACK-MODE")

     default : #SI("TRACK-ELEC","ELEC-METER","COGEN-TRACK-MODE")

     endswitch

endif

4.       Now if in a parametric run you change the global parameter “Tracking Mode” to any of the values 1 through 5, it will switch the meter’s tracking mode to the corresponding setting in the highlighted switch statement above (i.e. 2 will result in the Track Thermal option):

Hello, I am modeling PV system into my eQuest model. I want to run it over my baseline model and see how much savings I get. For this I am trying to set a global parameter or the command-keyword method for parametric run. How can I set a global parameter for Electric meter - Cogeneration - Track Mode parameter?

Thanks in advance!

Siddharth S. Patil
