8. Evaluation Method of Cogeneration System

This chapter shows the logic for calculating the primary energy consumptions of cogeneration systems.

8.1 Introduction

8.1.1 Scope of Application

The cogeneration systems that should be evaluated for calculation are defined below.

  1. Gas-type cogeneration system whose waste heat is discharged with hot water

    • A gas-type cogeneration system whose waste heat is removed by steam can be deemed to be that whose waste heat is removed by hot water, and evaluated for calculation.

    • Gas turbines, fuel cells, and diesel engines are not inputted for calculation.

  2. In the case of installation several cogeneration systems, those with the same type and the same generation power.

    • In the case where several cogeneration systems with different generation outputs are mixed, the number of installed cogeneration systems can be inputted, an averaged generation output be inputted in the item of Generation output (on the assumption that several cogeneration systems with the same generation output are introduced). In addition, generation and heat exhaust efficiencies are weighted by a rated generation output of each cogeneration system, and averaged. The result of the calculation can be inputted.

  3. Cogeneration system that supplies electricity and heat to the same system

    • In the case where electricity and heat are supplied to several systems, one representative system can be selected, and only a cogeneration system that supplies electricity and heat can be inputted.

      • The system that has the largest total of a rated cooling capacity (kW) of heat source equipment that produces cold energy by using exhaust heat from a cogeneration system, and a rated cooling capacity (kW) of a water heater included in the same system as the cogeneration system, is assumed to be a representative system.

  4. Cogeneration system that self-consumes generated power and heat

    • In the case where generated power and waste heat are externally supplied from a cogeneration system, the relevant system can be evaluated as a system self-consuming all of them (self-consumed generated power and waste heat are calculated on the assumption that a generation is controlled to a power demand or lower, and excessive waste heat is dissipated).

  5. Cogeneration system whose operation based an electricity demand is controlled

    • In the case where a cogeneration system is operated based on a heat demand, the relevant system’s operation can be deemed to be an operation based an electricity demand.

  6. Cogeneration system whose waste heat use is evaluated concerning primary energy consumption performance under the Building Energy Code

    • In the case where waste heat from a cogeneration system is supplied to a facility using the heat to melt snow, protect freezing or heat circulated water (public bathhouse or heated swimming pool), a facility using non-portable water (dishwasher, washing machine, etc.) or other similar installation that is not covered by evaluation of energy consumption performance, the relevant cogeneration system can be evaluated on the assumption that its waste heat is not supplied to these facilities.

In order to create this calculation method, the cogeneration evaluation program CASCADEⅢ was developed to a method to calculate energy consumptions based on daily loading data, and parameters etc. used to evaluate actual work performance were added to this method.

A flow of evaluation is shown in the following diagram. The daily calculation results of power consumptions, heating and hot-water supply loads and other information are obtained from the main body of the energy consumption performance program. Based on these results, the operation status of a CGS is determined. In the main body of the program, the energy consumptions of electric power, cooling, heating and hot-water supply are calculated on the assumption that electric power or waste heat is not acquired from the CGS. In this program, the primary energy consumptions that can be reduced in the items of electric power, cooling, heating and hot-water supply, and the gas consumption of a CGS are calculated. Finally, the gas consumption of CGS is deducted from the energy consumptions of electric power, cooling, heating and hot-water supply that are calculated in the main body of the program, and then, the energy consumption of the whole building can be calculated in consideration of the increment of the gas consumption of CGS.

In order to determine a heat load of a CGS heat exhaust system at a date d, \(q_{ hr, total, d }\), heat exhaust loads of cooling and heating sources are determined, and a heat exhaust load of hot-water supply is added to the determined loads. The heat exhaust load of the cooling source is corrected according to the number of hours as indicated below if a daily cooling time of the source is shorter than the maximum operation time of a CGS.

\[q_{ hr, AC, c, d } = \begin{cases} q_{ AC, ref, c, hr, d } \times \frac{ T_{ ST } }{ T_{ AC, c ,d } } & , T_{ AC, c, d } > T_{ ST } \\ q_{ AC, ref, c, hr, d } & , T_{ AC, c, d } \leqq T_{ ST } \end{cases}\]

The heat exhaust load of the heating source is corrected in the same way as that of the cooling source.

\[q_{ hr, AC, h, d } = \begin{cases} q_{ AC, ref, h, hr, d } \times \frac{ T_{ ST } }{ T_{ AC, h ,d } } & , T_{ AC, h, d } > T_{ ST } \\ q_{ AC, ref, h, hr, d } & , T_{ AC, h, d } \leqq T_{ ST } \end{cases}\]

Finally, a hot-water supply load is added to the heat exhaust load of the cooling and heating sources. The sum of the supply load and the exhaust load is a heat load of the CGS heat exhaust system. For reference, it is possible to use the exhaust heat of a CGS for hot-water supply by installing a hot water tank even if generation hours of hot-water supply load are different from operation hours of the CGS. For this reason, the relevant load is not corrected based the operation hours.

\[q_{ hr, total, d } = q_{ hr, AC, c, d } + q_{ hr, AC, h, d } + q_{ W, hr, d }\]

The above formula is a formula from which a power consumption of a CGS during its operation hours (area of orange part) is determined in comparison with a total of power consumptions in one day as shown in the following figure (total of areas of light blue and orange parts). \(f_{ eopeHi }\) represents an average power consumption of a CGS during its operation hours on the assumption that an average power consumption of the CGS during its non-operation hours is 1. The power consumption of the CGS during its operation hours (area of orange part) is represented as \(f_{ eopeHi } \times T_{ ST }\) while the power consumption of the CGS during its non-operation hours (area of light blue part) is represented as \(( 24 - T_{ ST } ) \times 1 \). Accordingly, the above formula can be obtained.

A CGS’s auxiliary power ratio, \(f_{ esub, cgs }\), is determined as shown below according to a rated power generation output of the CGS. This ratio is based on that a micro gas engine with a rated power generation output of 50kW or less does not have a cooling tower, and accordingly, its auxiliary power is low.

\[f_{ esub, cgs } = \begin{cases} f_{ esub, cgswc } & , E_{ cgs, rated } > 50 \\ f_{ esub, cgsac } & , E_{ cgs, rated } \leqq 50 \end{cases}\]

An operation time of CGS at a date d, \(T_{ cgs, d }\), is determined form the following formula.

(1) \(n_{ pri, hr, c } = 0 \land n_{ pri, hr, h } = 0 \)

 a) In the case of \(\frac{ q_{ hr, total, d } }{ E_{ cgs, rated } \times 3.6 \times f_{ hopeMn } } \times \frac{ f_{ cgs, e, rated } }{ f_{ cgs, h, rated } } \geqq T_{ ST } \land \frac{ E_{ e, total, d } \times f_{ eope, R } \times ( 1 + f_{ esub, cgs } ) }{ E_{ cgs, rated } \times f_{ eopMn } } \geqq T_{ ST }\)

\[T_{ cgs, d } = T_{ STmin, W }\]

 c) Not falling under a) or b)

(2) Not falling under (1), \(T_{ AC, c, d } \geqq T_{ AC, h, d }\)

 a) In the case of \(\frac{ q_{ hr, total, d } }{ E_{ cgs, rated } \times 3.6 \times f_{ hopeMn } } \times \frac{ f_{ cgs, e, rated } }{ f_{ cgs, h, rated } } \geqq T_{ ST } \land \frac{ E_{ e, total, d } \times f_{ eope, R } \times ( 1 + f_{ esub, cgs } ) }{ E_{ cgs, rated } \times f_{ eopMn } } \geqq T_{ ST }\)

\[T_{ cgs, d } = T_{ ST }\]

 b) Not falling under (a), \frac{ q_{ hr, total, d } }{ E_{ cgs, rated } \times 3.6 \times f_{ hopeMn } } \times \frac{ f_{ cgs, e, rated } }{ f_{ cgs, h, rated } } \geqq T_{ AC, c, d } \land \frac{ E_{ e, total, d } \times f_{ eope, R } \times ( 1 + f_{ esub, cgs } ) }{ E_{ cgs, rated } \times f_{ eopMn } } \geqq T_{ AC, c, d } \right) = \mbox{True}]

(1) is the case where “waste heat is used only for hot-water supply.” In this case, \(T_{ STmin, W }\) (=10 hours) is assumed to a minimum operation time.
2) and (3) are the case in which waste heat is used for cooling or heating. In this case, CGS’s operation time is assumed to be its maximum operation time by reference to the longer of cooling and heating operations if there are sufficient power and heat loads.

\(\frac{ q_{ hr, total, d } }{ E_{ cgs, rated } \times 3.6 \times f_{ hopeMn } } \times \frac{ f_{ cgs, e, rated } }{ f_{ cgs, h, rated } }\) in the conditional expression represents hours of operation time in the case where a heat load of the CGS heat exhaust system is divided by an amount of heat exhaust applicable to the required waste heat ratio for operation judgment standard. Similarly, \(\frac{ E_{ e, total, d } \times f_{ eope, R } \times ( 1 + f_{ esub, cgs } ) }{ E_{ cgs, rated } \times f_{ eopMn } }\) represents hours of operation time in the case where power is generated in the condition applicable to the required power ratio for operation judgment standard. If both of these hours exceed a maximum operation time \(T_{ ST }\), the maximum operation time is assumed to be an operation time of CGS at that day, deeming the sufficiency of the loads, Even in the case where this does not apply, if both of them exceed a cooling or heating operation time (the heating operation time is used if being longer than the cooling operation time), or a “minimum operation time (10 hours) of a CGS in the case where waste heat is used only for hot-water supply,” the relevant time (cooling operation time, heating operation time or minimum operation time) is assumed to be an operation time of the CGS at that day. If they do not meet the above time requirements, the CGS shall not be operated at that day.

\[E_{ e, total, on, d } = E_{ e, total, d } \times f_{ eope, R } \times \frac{ T_{ cgs, d } }{ T_{ ST } }\]

Available waste heat for hot-water supply and a primary energy consumption of a water heater (system) allowing for the use of waste heat during the operation hours of the CGS are not corrected by its operation time, based on that loads during non-operation hours of the CGS can be also treated by installing a tank.

\[E_{ W, hr, on, d } = E_{ W, hr, d }\]
\[q_{ W, hr, on, d } = q_{ W, hr, d }\]

During the operation hours of a CGS, available waste heat for a cooling source, and primary energy of a main module is consumed. A possible amount of reduction in the relevant amount and the primary energy consumption is determined from the following formula. If the cooling operation time is shorter than the operation time of a CGS, the relevant energy consumption is not corrected by the operation time of the CGS. If the cooling operation time is longer than the operation time of the CGS, available waste heat for the cooling source during the operation hours of the CGS is determined in proportion to the number of hours.

\[E_{ AC, ref, c, hr, on, d } = \begin{cases} E_{ AC, ref, c, hr, d } & , T_{ AC, c, d } \leqq T_{ cgs, d } \\ E_{ AC, ref, c, hr, d} \times \frac{ T_{ cgs, d } }{ T_{ AC, c, d } } & , T_{ AC, c, d } > T_{ cgs, d } \end{cases}\]
\[q_{ AC, ref, c, hr, on, d } = \begin{cases} q_{ AC, ref, c, hr, d } & , T_{ AC, c, d } \leqq T_{ cgs, d } \\ q_{ AC, ref, c, hr, d} \times \frac{ T_{ cgs, d } }{ T_{ AC, c, d } } & , T_{ AC, c, d } > T_{ cgs, d } \end{cases}\]

Similarly, available waste heat for a heating source , and a primary energy consumption of a main module of a heat source group allowing for the use of waste heat, during the operation hours of the CGS, are determined from the following formula.

\[E_{ AC, ref, h, hr, on, d } = \begin{cases} E_{ AC, ref, h, hr, d } & , T_{ AC, h, d } \leqq T_{ cgs, d } \\ E_{ AC, ref, h, hr, d} \times \frac{ T_{ cgs, d } }{ T_{ AC, h, d } } & , T_{ AC, h, d } > T_{ cgs, d } \end{cases}\]
\[q_{ AC, ref, h, hr, on, d } = \begin{cases} q_{ AC, ref, h, hr, d } & , T_{ AC, h, d } \leqq T_{ cgs, d } \\ q_{ AC, ref, h, hr, d} \times \frac{ T_{ cgs, d } }{ T_{ AC, h, d } } & , T_{ AC, h, d } > T_{ cgs, d } \end{cases}\]

A total of available waste heat amounts during the operation time of a CGS at a date d is determined from the following formula based on the value calculated in the above formula.

\[q_{ total, hr, on, d } = q_{ AC, ref, c, hr, on, d } + q_{ AC, ref, h, hr, on, d } + q_{ W, hr, on, d }\]

\[q_{ hr, cgs, d } = E_{ s, cgs, d } \times f_{ cgs, e ,cor } \times mxR_{ hr, cgs, d } \times f_{ lh }\]

The fuel consumption of a CGS is multiplied by a power generation efficiency correction in the formula for waste heat recovery from the GCG, \(q_{ hr, cgs, d }\), because the effect given when the fuel consumption of the CGS (Higher heating value standard) \(E_{ s, cgs, d }\) is multiplied by \(f_{ cgs, e, cor }\) as a power generation efficiency correction value is cancelled out. This is due to that the power generation efficiency correction \(f_{ cgs, e, cor }\) is intended to increase the fuel consumption and not intended for resultant increase of the waste heat recovery.

Calculate a waste heat usage in each use at a date d according to the priority order of use of waste heat.

First, allocate an available waste heat to the use with the priority order 1st (one of cooling, heating or hot-waster supply) to \(q_{pri1,ehr,on,d}\), and also that with the priority order 2nd and 3rd according to the priority order of use of waste heat.

\[q_{ pri1, ehr, on, d } = \begin{cases} q_{ AC, ref, c, hr, on ,d } & , n_{ pri, hr, c } = 1 \\ q_{ AC, ref, h, hr, on ,d } & , n_{ pri, hr, h } = 1 \\ q_{ W, hr, on ,d } & , n_{ pri, hr, W } = 1 \end{cases}\]
\[q_{ pri2, ehr, on, d } = \begin{cases} q_{ AC, ref, c, hr, on ,d } & , n_{ pri, hr, c } = 2 \\ q_{ AC, ref, h, hr, on ,d } & , n_{ pri, hr, h } = 2 \\ q_{ W, hr, on ,d } & , n_{ pri, hr, W } = 2 \\ 0 & , \mbox{Others} \end{cases}\]
\[q_{ pri3, ehr, on, d } = \begin{cases} q_{ AC, ref, c, hr, on ,d } & , n_{ pri, hr, c } = 3 \\ q_{ AC, ref, h, hr, on ,d } & , n_{ pri, hr, h } = 3 \\ q_{ W, hr, on ,d } & , n_{ pri, hr, W } = 3 \\ 0 & , \mbox{Others} \end{cases}\]

Next, if an effective waste heat recovery obtained from a CGS, \(q_{ ehr, cgs, d }\), is larger than an available waste heat with the priority order 1st, \(q_{ pri1, ehr, on, d }\) (in the case of the following (1)), calculate how much hot water is available to the use with the priority order 2nd, on the assumption that all of the available waste heat with the priority order 1st, \(q_{ pri1, ehr, on, d }\) can be supplied. In the same way, calculate it for the use with the priority order 3rd.

(1) In the case of \(q_{ ehr, cgs, d } \geqq q_{ pri1, ehr, on, d } \)

\[q_{ pri1, ehr, d } = q_{ pri1, ehr, on, d }\]

 a) In the case of \(q_{ ehr, cgs, d } - q_{pri1, ehr, d } \geqq q_{ pri2, ehr, on, d }\)

\[q_{ pri2, ehr, d } = q_{ pri2, ehr, on, d }\]

  i) In the case of \(q_{ehr, cgs, d } - q_{ pri1, ehr, d } - q_{ pri2, ehr, d } \geqq q_{ pri3, ehr, on, d }\)

\[q_{ pri3, ehr, d } = q_{ pri3, ehr, on, d }\]

  ii) In the case of \(q_{ehr, cgs, d } - q_{ pri1, ehr, d } - q_{ pri2, ehr, d } < q_{ pri3, ehr, on, d }\)

\[q_{ pri3, ehr, d } = q_{ ehr, cdg, d } - q_{ pri1, ehr, d } - q_{ pri2, ehr, d }\]

 ii) In the case of \(q_{ ehr, cgs, d } - q_{pri1, ehr, d } < q_{ pri2, ehr, on, d }\)

\[q_{ pri2, ehr, d } = q_{ ehr, cgs, d } - q_{ pri1, ehr, d }\]
\[q_{ pri3, ehr, d } = 0\]

(2) In the case of \(q_{ ehr, cgs, d } < q_{ pri1, ehr, on, d } \)

\[q_{ pri1, ehr, d } = q_{ ehr, cgs, d }\]
\[q_{ pri2, ehr, d } = 0\]
\[q_{ pri3, ehr, d } = 0\]

Finally, after determining how much waste heat is available to the uses with the priority orders 1st. 2nd and 3rd in the above (1) or (2), allocate determined available waste heat to cooling, heating and hot-water supply.

\[q_{ AC, ref, c, ehr, d } = \begin{cases} 0 & , n_{ pri, hr, c } = \mbox{blank} \\ q_{ pri1, ehr, d } & , n_{ pri, hr, c } = 1 \\ q_{ pri2, ehr, d } & , n_{ pri, hr, c } = 2 \\ q_{ pri3, ehr, d } & , n_{ pri, hr, c } = 3 \end{cases}\]
\[q_{ AC, ref, h, ehr, d } = \begin{cases} 0 & , n_{ pri, hr, h } = \mbox{blank} \\ q_{ pri1, ehr, d } & , n_{ pri, hr, h } = 1 \\ q_{ pri2, ehr, d } & , n_{ pri, hr, h } = 2 \\ q_{ pri3, ehr, d } & , n_{ pri, hr, h } = 3 \end{cases}\]
\[q_{ W, ehr, d } = \begin{cases} 0 & , n_{ pri, hr, W } = \mbox{blank} \\ q_{ pri1, ehr, d } & , n_{ pri, hr, W } = 1 \\ q_{ pri2, ehr, d } & , n_{ pri, hr, W } = 2 \\ q_{ pri3, ehr, d } & , n_{ pri, hr, W } = 3 \end{cases}\]

Heat loss rate of waste heat

-

0.97

Waste heat from a CGS is lost from the surface of its pipe during its operation, and the heat is lost because the temperature of circulating water in the pipe is lowered due to its intermittent operation. These losses of the heat were calculated based on the piping specifications of discharging hot water circuits that were obtained from two actual buildings.

The assumed piping specifications are shown in Table 48. The result of calculating the losses of waste heat from the surfaces of the pipes in the discharging hot water circuits of the two buildings based on the specifications shown in Table 48 is shown in Table 49. Where, the temperature of the circulating water is assumed to be 85℃, and the ambient temperatures of the pipes to be 15℃. Next, the result of calculating the heat loss caused by lowering of the in-pipe circulating water is shown in Table 50. On the assumption that the temperature of the circulating water is reduced from 85℃ to 15℃ after a CGS stops, waste heat that is lost due to the lowering of the temperature was assumed to be unavailable waste heat. Based on the unavailable waste heat, the losses of waste heat from the pipes were totalized and compared with the rated heat exhaust of the CGS. The comparison between the two is shown in Table 51. In this case, the operation time of the CGS was assumed to be 12 hours. As a result, the heat losses of 2.7% and 1.7% in Buildings A and B were expected, respectively. Accordingly, about 3% of obtained waste heat was considered to be lost, and a coefficient of the heat loss was set as \(f_{ hr, loss } = 0.97\).

From one actual measurement datum from the previous survey[3], main module powers and power generation outputs during operation were averaged, and as a result, Table 53 was obtained. In CASCADEⅢ [bib._G-4] used as reference for this program, an auxiliary power of a CGS is expected to be 5% of its power generation output, but actually was close to 6% of the output. In particular, the auxiliary powers of a cooling tower and and pump accounts for 1% of the output. In a large CGS with a cooling tower for heat dissipation, its auxiliary power is assumed to be larger, so in the case where a micro CGS (power generation output of 50kW or less) does not require a cooling tower because it has a radiator for heat dissipation, its auxiliary power ratio was traditionally set as \(f_{ esub, cgsac } = 0.05\), while an auxiliary power ratio of a larger CGS was set as \(f_{ esub, cgswc } = 0.06\).

77 buildings with the introduction of a CGS responded to the questionnaire investigation of the previous survey[3]. The hourly availabilities of the CGS in these buildings were analyzed, and as a result, Table 55 was obtained. Table 55 shows the averaged hourly availability of the CGS in all uses and the total of its hourly availabilities in major uses. The availability of the CGS slightly depends on building uses, but the availability is high during 8:00 and 19:00 in a weekday of a summer season. In a hospital with the longest operation time of the CGS, the average operation time of the CGS in the weekday of during a summer season is about 14 hours. A trend in operation hours of the CGS in a hotel is greatly different from those in other uses, but the operation time of the GGS in the hotel is about 11 hours. The relevant operation time in the hotel is not so different from those in other uses.

The hearing survey for system designers that was separately conducted indicates the design concept that estimated hours based on the durable operation hours of the CGS (about 60000 hours but depending on each type of equipment) are 3000 to 4000, assuming that the durable period of the CGS is 15 years to 20 years. From the results of the questionnaire investigation and the hearing survey, assuming that the CGS does not operate on days with small loads such as holidays and days during the intermediate season, and judging that it is reasonable to assume that its maximum operation time per day is approximately 14 hours, the relevant time was set as \(T_{ STn } = 14\), regardless of building uses.

A manufacturer of absorption chillers/heaters with auxiliary waste heat system recovery provided data on the available waste heat amounts and gas consumptions of two models (Figure 5 and Figure 6). Based on the data, a COP (Coefficient Of Performance) the chiller/heater of the in the case where only waste heat is used to manufacture a cooling source was calculated and determined to be approximately 0.79 to 0.82. Accordingly, the relevant coefficient was set as \(f_{ COP, link, hr } = 0.75\).

A required power ratio for operation judgment standard indicates how much power load is required to operate a CGS in comparison with a required heat ratio for operation judgment standard. The required heat ratio for operation judgment standard also indicates how much heat load is required to operate a CGS in comparison with a rated waste heat recovery. A judgment on whether to operate the CGS when the heat load is small depends on different buildings, and is often left up to site operation managers in the buildings For this reason, it is difficult to set a uniform load value that can be applied to every building, but a load factor of 50% is described in the performance test method for CGSs that is prescribed in JIB 8122. Some buildings where even in actual operation of the CGS, the CGS is operated at a partial load factor of about 50%, are observed. Accordingly, these ratios were set as \(f_{ eopeMn } = 0.5\) and \(f_{ eopeMn } = 0.5\).

Currently, power load control to cover all of power loads with generation of a CGS is not made. The common way of operating the CGS is to introduce power load control under which a part of electric power is always purchased to avoid a reverse power flow from occurring. In CASCADEⅢ [bib._G-4], a default setting is to ensure 5% of an annual peak power as power to be purchased. In reference to this default setting, assuming that at least 5% of the power load is covered by purchasing electric power, the maximum share ratio was set as \(f_{ elmax } = 0.95\).

2 measured values in the previous survey [3] show a distribution of inlet temperatures of hot water that is discharged from an absorption chiller/heater with auxiliary waste heat system recovery, indicated in Figure 7. The two measured values show that the actual inlet temperatures of the absorption chillers/heaters with auxiliary waste heat system recovery are lower than their rated inlet temperature. In Building ID04, a first absorption chiller/heater with auxiliary waste heat system recovery is continuously connected to a second one, and discharged hot water after hot water is used in the first unit is charged into the second one. This is also considered to cause the inlet temperature of discharged hot water to be lower than the rated value of the equipment. Based on these results, the inlet temperature of hot water discharged from the absorption chiller/heater with auxiliary waste heat system recovery was considered to become approximately 2℃ lower that its rated value. Therefore, the characteristics of absorption chillers/heaters with auxiliary waste heat system recovery of two manufacturers were examined concerning their available waste heat amounts in the case where the temperatures of the discharged hot water in the chillers/heaters are reduced by 2℃. The characteristic of the equipment that was more affected by the reduction of the temperature is shown in Figure 8. As shown in the figure, when the temperature of the discharged hot water is reduced by 2℃, the available waste heat is reduced by 12.5% at a load factor of 1.0. Accordingly, the relevant reduction rate was set as \(f_{ link, down } = 0.125\).

G.10 Read of calculation results of other systems/ installations

G.10.1 Total of daily power consumptions (conversion to primary energy)

For the items of air conditioning equipment, mechanical ventilation equipment, lighting installations, hot-water supply systems. elevators, systems with effective use of energy (solar power system) and other, their total daily power consumptions are outputted as described below. These daily power consumptions are required to calculate a power load of a cogeneration system.

  • Air conditioning equipment \(E_{ AC, total, d }\)

    Output the following 4 total daily values [MWh/d].

    1. Power consumption of air conditioner group (MWh)\(E_{AC, ahu, i}\)

    2. Power consumption of secondary pump group (MWh) \(E_{ AC, pump, i }\)

    3. Power consumption of main module of heat source group (MWh) \(E_{ AC, ref, i }\)

    4. Power consumption of main module of heat source group (MWh) \(E_{ AC, ref, sub, i }\)

    However, note the following requirements.

    • The primary energy consumption of a main module of a heat source group, \(E_{AC, ref, i }\) (Formula 2.1.98/ [5] p191) shall be accumulated for only heat source equipment using electric power as an energy source, while that of heat source equipment using other energy sources shall not be accumulated.

    • The power consumption of a main module of a heat source system group that is designated in Form 7-3 “⑪ Name of air conditioning heat source group (heating source) using waste heat” is not accumulated.

      This is due to that the primary energy consumption of the main module of the heat source system that uses waste heat is reduced when a heat source load is covered by the waste heat, and so, the power load is overestimated if this consumption is estimated as a cogeneration power load.

  • Mechanical ventilation equipment \(E_{ V, total, d }\)

    The power consumption of mechanical ventilation equipment (MWh) \(E_{ v }\) (Formula 2.2.1/ [5] p283) is divided into each daily unit. The primary energy consumption that is equivalent to the total of daily consumption values is outputted.

    • In the case where the equipment whose operation schedule is specified for a weekday or holidays, the power consumption is divided into each daily unit according to the relevant schedule. In the case where mechanical ventilation equipment whose annual operation hours is specified, the accumulated consumption value is divided by its operation days in a year. The result is a value of a one-day consumption.

  • Lighting installation \(E_{ L, total, d }\)

    The power consumption of a lighting installation (MWh) \(E_{ L }\) (Formula 2.3.1/[5] p295) is divided into each daily unit. The primary energy consumption that is equivalent to the total of daily consumption values is outputted.

    • In the case where the equipment whose operation schedule is specified for a weekday or holidays, the power consumption is divided into each daily unit according to the relevant schedule. In the case where mechanical ventilation equipment whose annual operation hours is specified, the accumulated consumption value is divided by its operation days in a year. The result is a value of a one-day consumption.

  • Hot-water supply system \(E_{ W, total, d }\)

    The accumulated value of the power consumption of a hot-water supply system (targeted to only water heaters using electric power as an energy source)(MWh) \(E_{ w }\) (Formula 2.4.1/[5] p306) is divided into each daily unit. The primary energy consumption that is equivalent to the total of daily consumption values is outputted.

    • When being divided into each daily unit, the energy consumption in a room with 365 annual days of hot-water supply is divided by 365. In the case where the annual days of hot-water supply is consistent with those under a room use pattern 1 in other room, the annual primary energy consumption of the hot-water supply system is divided by the annual days. The result is equivalent to a daily energy consumption under the room use pattern 1. Otherwise, an energy consumption obtained after an annual energy consumption of the hot-water supply system is divided by annual days of hot-water supply is equal to a daily energy consumption under the room use patterns 1 and 2.

    • In the case where a fuel type of a water heater that is designated in Form 7-3 “⑫ Name of water heater using waste heat” is electric power, the primary energy consumption of this equipment is not accumulated.

      This is due to that the primary energy consumption of a water heater in a system using waste heat is reduced when a hot-water supply load is covered by the waste heat, and so, the power load is overestimated if this consumption is estimated as a cogeneration power load.

  • Elevator \(E_{ EV, total, d }\)

    The power consumption of an elevator (MWh) \(E_\{EV}\) (Formula 2.5.1/[5] p314) is divided into each daily unit. The primary energy consumption that is equivalent to the total of daily consumption values is outputted.

    • When being divided into each daily unit, the daily power consumption is determined as calculated based on the annual operation hours of the elevator \(T_{ EV, i }\)([5] p316). The annual lighting hours under the standard use conditions in an elevator’s room use as “a room mainly providing service” are equal to the operation hours. That is to say, the power consumption of the elevator is divided into a daily unit in the same way when the primary energy for lighting is divided into a daily unit in the “room mainly providing service.”

  • Systems with effective use of energy (solar power generation) \(E_{ PV, total, d }\)

    The accumulated daily value of a solar power system’s self-consumption of its generation \(E_{ PV_consumption }\)(Formula 2.6.5・Formula 2.6.6/ [5] p327) is outputted.

  • Other \(E_{ M, total, d }\)

    Other power consumption (MWh) \(E_\{M}\) (Formula 3.6.1/[5] p402) is divided into each daily unit. The primary energy consumption that is equivalent to the total of daily consumption values is outputted. The power consumption is divided into each daily unit according to equipment’s heating schedule for each room use.

G.10.2 Accumulated daily primary energy consumption (cool source group) of main module of absorption chiller/heater with auxiliary waste heat system recovery (absorption chiller/heater)(single and double combination) \(E_{ AC, ref, c, d }\)

The accumulated daily primary energy consumptions of the main modules of the following heat source models that are included in Form 7-3 “⑩ Name of air conditioning heat source group (cooling source) using waste heat, \(E_{ AC, ref, i }\) (Formula 2.1.98/ [5] p191), are outputted only in a period for operation of the main modules as a cool source system.

In the case where a heat storaging tank is included in “air conditioning heat source using waste heat, however, the accumulated daily primary energy consumption of the heat source group for additional operation is outputted in the same way mentioned above.

G.11 Way of calculating coefficient (difference in average power between operation and non-operation hours of building)

1) Obtain schedules for ① air conditioning operation, ② lighting heat generation and ③ equipment heat generation in room uses of a building to be calculated (matrix of 8760×1).
*Database to be used ROOM_COND.csv
*The schedule for air conditioning operation (including decimals) that is larger than 0 or is o, is deemed to be “1” or to be “0,” respectively. Other schedules are allowed to have decimals.

2) Calculate a schedule for weighing floor areas at the following time t in room uses of a building to be calculated (matrix of 8760×1).

“Room where air conditioning is calculated,“ described in Form 1

\[Sawt_{ac}(t) = \sum (Air conditioning operation schedule at time t in room use of the relevant room \times Floor area of the relevant room)\]

Room where lighting is calculated,“ described in Form 1

\[Sawt_{ac}(t) = \sum (Lighting operation schedule at time t in room use of the relevant room \times Floor area of the relevant room)\]

All rooms described in Form 1

\[Sawt_{ac}(t) = \sum (Equipment heating schedule at time t in room use of the relevant room \times Floor area of the relevant room)\]

3) Using the above schedule at each time that was determined in the above section, calculate a ratio when an accumulated value at each day is 1(matrix of 8760×1).

\[rSawt_{ac}(t) = \begin{cases} 0 & , Sawdsum_{ac}(d) = 0 \\ \frac{ Sawt_{ac}(t) }{ Sawdsum_{ac}(d) } & , \mbox{Other} \end{cases}\]
\[rSawt_{lt}(t) = \begin{cases} 0 & , Sawdsum_{lt}(d) = 0 \\ \frac{ Sawt_{lt}(t) }{ Sawdsum_{lt}(d) } & , \mbox{other} \end{cases}\]
\[rSawt_{oa}(t) = \begin{cases} 0 & , Sawdsum_{oa}(d) = 0 \\ \frac{ Sawt_{oa}(t) }{ Sawdsum_{oa}(d) } & , \mbox{other} \end{cases}\]

Where,

\(Eev_\{ele}(d)\): Accumulated daily power consumption of elevator at date d [MWh/day]
\(Eoa_\{ele}(d)\): Accumulated daily power consumption of other at date d [MWh/day]

5) Calculate a coefficient at a date d, \(f_\{eopeHi}(d) \).

\[Et_{ele,day}(d) = \sum_{t=7}^{20}Et_{ele}(t) - Epv_{ele}(d)   (Σ is an accumulated value from 7:00 to 20:00.)\]
\[Et_{ele,night}(d) = \sum_{t=1}^{6} ΣEt_{ele}(t)+ \sum_{t=21}^{24} ΣEt_{ele}(t) (Σ is an accumulated value from 1:00 to 6:00 and an accumulated value from 21:00 to 24:00.)\]
\[f_{eopeHi} (d) = \begin{cases} 1 & , Et_{ele,day}(d) = 0 \\ 100 & , Et_{ele,night}(d) = 0 \\ \frac{ Et_{ele,day}(d) }{ Et_{ele,night}(d) } & , \mbox{Other} \end{cases}\]

Where,
\(Epv_\{ele}(d)\) is an accumulated daily power generation of solar power system at date d [MWh/day].

\[1 \leqq f_{eopeHi} (d) \leqq 100\]

A range of the coefficient is as shown above.
