[TRNSYS-users] Restaurant absorp. cooling Tess example

[David BRADLEY]

Martin,
   You are correct; Type107 is designed so that it takes the chilled 
water set point as an input and provides the required power as an 
output. If you are working on a simulation where you have a certain 
amount of power available (from a PV or a wind turbine) then what you 
can do is to implement two instances of Type107 in your simulation. One 
of them would be running all the time (i.e. it's control signal input is 
always set to 1) with its cooling water, hot water, and chilled water 
inputs connected but none of its outputs connected. The only output that 
you would use would be the required power. This instance of Type107 
would be in your simulation only to determine how much power would be 
required in order to run an absorption chiller under current conditions. 
The required power would feed into an equation that would compare the 
required power to the power that you actually have available. If you 
have more power than you need then the equation's value would be 1. If 
you don't have enough power to run the chiller then the equation's value 
would be 0. The result of the equation would be sent as the control 
signal to a second instance of Type107 that is identical to the first 
except that it is not always on and its outputs (the outlet cooling 
water, chilled water, and hot water outlet conditions) are connected.
   In essence you are using a virtual chiller to determine a control 
signal for the actual chiller.
Kind regards,
  David
