Preparation of a computer-compatible data base on an operating total energy system. Final report. [Indian Creek Village, Overland Park, Johnson Co. , Kansas]

This report documents the development of a computerized data base on the long-term performance of the Indian Creek Total Energy System, and it is intended to be a user's manual for the data base and the accompanying energy-balance computer program. The data base may be used as a standard of comparison for the performance predicted by energy-system-simulation software. The TES became operational in 1972 to meet the projected electrical, space conditioning, and domestic hot water needs for the garden-type apartment complex. The dual-fuel engine are provided with both gas and No. 2 oil connections. Heat from the exhaust flues is extracted in the heat recovery units. Following the introductory chapter, Chapter II provides a description and background history on the highly instrumented and efficiently operated Indian Creek Total Energy System. Also included in Chapter II is a discussion of the instrumentation used to monitor the performance of the total energy system. Chapter III provides a detailed description of the data base, including the methodology used to supply missing data. Chapter IV develops the energy balance equations and relates them to the computer program and the data base. Chapter V presents the results of exercising the energy balance computer model driven …
