on in the world). Struggling through eQuest once again.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P>

color=#0000ff size=2>Has anyone really tried to work the cogeneration
(generator) portion of eQuest? Although cogen doesn't pay back like it used to,
I deemed it something I should reacquaint myself to during the current lull in
projects.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P>

color=#0000ff size=2>I took a small hotel with default profiles and loads. I
also ran the same building with a 400 kW gas fired reciprocating generator (400
kW pulled from the air). I wanted to optimize the generator size and/or time of
operation for this mythical building.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P>

color=#0000ff size=2>For the base case, I can develop the 8,760 hours of
electric usage in hourly day and transfer this to an Excel spreadsheet. This
gives me a Histogram (I believe) of the intensity of load for each hour of the
day (365 1 AMs, 365 2 AMs, etc). This used to be a DOE-2.1E standard printout,
but has disappeared from Version 2.2.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><SPAN class=414142820-31122008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I then tried to find a hourly parameter that shows me
either the generated electric load, or the electric load remaining after cogen
is applied. I cannot seem to find such a parameter.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P>

eQuest?</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P>

color=#0000ff size=2>My thanks to all who have contributed to this Forum over
the years. As they say "Keep those cards and letters coming". I read all posts.
I just cannot respond answers for them all (assuming I HAD an answer). But
something is always learned.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></P>
