Determine chiller temperature performance KPI score

Applicable Systems

  • Primary: CHLR

Objective/Method/Outcome

  • Objective: Determine chiller temperature performance score
  • Method: Analyze the chilled water supply temperature (CHWST) control system using the amount of time the chilled water supply temperature is within deadband while the chiller is on.
  • Outcome: A KPI score is generated on a daily basis while a ‘Bad Score’ insight can be produced weekly when a score reaches below 60% for the week.

Logic

  • Input normalized water temperature and its corresponding temperature set points.
  • With a temperature deadband constant, check if the deviation is out of range.
  • If deadband is exceeded and the chiller is active, pass a bad score. If within deadband and the chiller is active, pass a good score.
  • Aggregate and average score daily and weekly; generate the daily KPI score in a CTL.
  • If the weekly score is below an acceptable threshold, generate an insight.

Determine chiller temperature performance KPI score

Description / Method

Determine the performance index of a chilled water supply temperature (CHWST) control system using the amount of time the chilled water supply temperature is within deadband (SP ± 1.5) while the chiller is on. {CHLR}

  1. Issue with control loop. Review and modify controller tuning parameters.
  2. Chilling water not available. Verify Chiller plant operation.
  3. Automatic setpoint control has been overridden. Revert setpoint back to automatic control.
  4. Input sensor(s) faulty or miscalibrated. Verify input sensor(s) operation.

Message

The chiller’s temperature performance KPI score is below 60% for the week. Review control loop tuning parameters.

Notes

This rule will not generate an insight unless the user changes the Trigger Block to “Insight – Bad Score”.
This rule is designed for °C inputs by default.Default Constants:

  • Const. – Acceptable Weekly Score [%]: 60
  • Const. – Chilled Water Supply Deadband [°C]: 1.5
    • (Recommended default Deadband for Fahrenheit is 3 °F)

CTL Generated:

  • CHWST Performance KPI

Rule Template Type

  • Insight Type: Integrity KPI
  • Trigger Type: Active High
