DOE-2 Reference Manual Version 2.1 - DOE2.com

The individual instructions are described in more detail in theirrespective sections later in this chapter.Ex amp le 2:DS1 = DAY-SCHEDULEWS1 = WEEK-SCHEDULESl = SCHEDULEHOURS = (1,24)DAYS = (ALL)THRU DEC 31,VALUES = (68.) ..DAY-SCHEDULE = DS1 ..WEEK-SCHEDULE = WS1The above instructions define a schedule having a value of 68. for everyhour of the year.Although the user may not originally intend to run the simulation for themaximum period of time, one year (JAN 1 THRU DEC 31), it is often wise tospecify schedules for the entire year. The reason for this statement is thatthe RUN-PERIOD instruction determines the simulation interval and should thisinterval be subsequently extended beyond the range of the schedules, troubleis almost certain to occur.12. Advanced Scheduling ConceptsOnce the user has become familiar with the basic concepts of scheduling,as presented in the previous section, he may begin to take advantage of someof the more powerful features of the scheduling instructions. To facilitatethe data entry for the simpler schedules, the concept of ·schedule nesting"may be used. When entering a WEEK-SCHEDULE instruction, the nesting featureallows a DAY-SCHEDULE = U-Name sequence to be replaced with the actualday-schedule data normally entered in a DAY-SCHEDULE instruction, with theexception that no keywords are entered, only their value(s). For example, theweek-schedule defined in Example 2 (in the previous section SchedulingConcepts) could also be defined using the nesting feature with the followinginstruction.WS1 = WEEK-SCHEDULE (ALL) (1,24) (68.) ..The nesting feature is also available with the SCHEDULE instruction. Inthis instructon the WEEK-SCHEDULE = U-Name sequence may be replaced with thedata normally entered 1n a WEEK-SCHEDULE 1nstruction, with the exception thatno keywords are entered, only their value(s) are entered. For example, theSCHEDULE instruction in Example 2 of the previous section, SchedulingConcepts, could also be entered using the nesting feature with the followinginstruction.Sl = SCHEDULE THRU DEC 31, (ALL) DS1As a further extension, double nesting could result in the followinginstruction which would define the same schedule for an entire year usingonly one instruction.Sl = SCHEDULE THRU DEC 31, (ALL) (1,24) (68.) ..The user is urged, however, to become familiar with the conceptsdescribed in the Scheduling Concepts section before attempting extensive useof the concepts of advanced scheduling.11.13 (Revised 5/81)
