Are you using the ZoneHVAC:RefrigerationChillerSet to model this? This should be doable if that's the case.

If you're using a Refrigeration:CompressorRack to model the compressors you may be able to use the Refrigeration:TransferLoadList to connect the thermal storage to the walk-ins but I have not personally attempted this.

I would recommend using the ZoneHVAC:RefrigerationChillerSet approach because EnergyPlus doesn't really account for the part-load performance of Refrigeration:CompressorRack's to begin with :( Compressor rack performance is solely dependant on the discharge and suction temperatures.

If you're using a Refrigeration:CompressorRack to model the compressors you You may be able to use the Refrigeration:TransferLoadList to connect the thermal storage to the walk-ins do this but I have not personally attempted this.

I would recommend using That being said, you may want to just create separate compressor(s) that serve the ZoneHVAC:RefrigerationChillerSet approach HVAC to simplify things. You won't lose much accuracy by doing this because EnergyPlus doesn't really account for the part-load performance of Refrigeration:CompressorRack's refrigeration compressor racks to begin with :( Compressor rack performance is solely dependant on the discharge and suction temperatures.
