Use the Plant Simulator to simulate hourly utility use and cost for central utility plants, including chilled water, hot water, steam, electric generation, and energy storage plants. Compare lifecycle costs among different plant designs, technologies, new equipment product selections and sizing, or variable speed drive retrofits. You can also model the business case for applying control optimization software. The application allows for what-if scenarios and sensitivity analysis for utility cost budgeting, load growth infrastructure planning, utility rate negotiations, and demand response revenue.
