Improvement of HVAC systems based on adaptive predictive control

The paper considers the issue of approbation adaptive predictive control for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, shows possibility improving regulation processes by its application on example system. idea using model is presented, principles MPC controller are noted, structure criterion choosing optimal values signal considered. feature presence mathematical object, which accurately describes behavior. determines sequence that provides best predicted trajectory controlled variable. implementation approach shown supply VAV system classroom. In considered system, change heat load room compensated amount coming from central unit at constant temperature. To simulate in Simulink environment MATLAB package, block diagram was developed, Model Predictive Control Toolbox used to synthesize controller. study transient carried out, process without controller, with PID were compared. Comparison results showed use makes it possible improve thermal regime increasing quality.
