This feature discusses how the day-to-day chilled water system management and operation takes advantage of using real-time distribution system modeling to operate at the maximum efficiency. Topics include zero dP strategy, verification of strategy, modeling of dP locations, identification of over-pressurizing the distribution system, adjustment of the design flow out of the Thermal Energy Storage (TES), bottleneck identification, supply and return temperature monitoring.
