Bias for reset of CHWS temperature setpoint for warmer temperatures
The program works as intended without applying bias. However, there are times that the
kW/ton input can be erratic. Adding bias toward warmer temperatures promotes energy
savings at the chiller, even though the chilled water reset temperatures are not
necessarily the most effective supply temperature for the system.
EXAMPLE
The program is very close to resetting toward a warmer temperature, but not
close enough, and still wants to reset for cooler temperatures. This bias shifts the
decision slightly toward resetting for warmer temperatures. Energy savings are biased
toward the chiller rather than the towers.
NOTE
Bias is not required.
Add a small bias for reset toward warmer CHWS temps?

warmer temperatures.

Reset Output
Expected chilled water supply setpoint temperature. The programmed "0 - 10 (deg)"
output is converted to the chilled water temperature setpoint signal compatible with
your system, feeding directly to the chiller setpoint adjust, either in your chiller manager
or each chiller program.
The chiller setpoint adjust requires an actual temperature range, such as 42 to 52°F.
If the chiller setpoint adjust requires a 0 - 10 input signal, then you must still convert
the above (i.e. 42 to 52°F) to a 0 - 10 signal in the chiller manager or each chiller
program. This is not done in the optimization program.
