Smart Cool Algorithm Deployment Guide

This page defines the minimum information needed to decide whether deployment is feasible and how to execute it.

1. Suitable Projects

Deploy Smart Cool when both conditions are met:

• Number of chillers: >= 5
• Annual chiller energy use: >= 2 million kWh

2. Deployment Procedure

1) Simulation Stage

Use historical operational data (typically 1-3 cooling seasons) to run offline retrospective evaluation and estimate achievable energy savings.

2) Pilot Deployment

Run Smart Cool during randomly selected half of time periods while keeping the existing control strategy for the remaining periods. Use the energy consumption difference to quantify realized savings potential.

3) Long-term Deployment

After pilot validation, transition to continuous production operation.

3. Minimum Data Requirements

3.1 System and Equipment Information

Provide:

1. Chiller plant system diagram
2. Rated electrical power and rated cooling capacity of each chiller

3.2 Sensor Data List

Variable	Unit	Description
chiller_Tchw_in	degC	Chilled water return temperature
chiller_Tchw_out	degC	Chilled water supply temperature
chiller_Tcw_in	degC	Cooling water return temperature (entering chiller)
flow_chill_list*	m3/hour	Chilled water flow rate
