Hybrid Model Predictive Control in Supermarket Refrigeration Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a Model Predictive Control scheme in connection with the Mixed Logical Dynamical framework, which tackles the modelling and optimal control problem of supermarket refrigeration systems. The latter are hybrid systems with switched nonlinear dynamics and discrete-valued input variables such as valves. Simulation results indicate the potential increase in efficiency and reduced wear with respect to traditional control schemes used nowadays. Copyright ©2005 IFAC

Hybrid NMPC of a Supermarket Refrigeration System Using Sequential Optimization
Supermarket refrigeration systems are hybrid systems due to switching of the continuous dynamics and due to the presence of discretely switched actuators such as valves and compressors. The main control goal for these systems is to keep temperature and pressure levels within tight bounds while minimizing the wear of the compressors. In our previous work, a hierarchical model-predictive control ...
متن کاملHybrid Predictive Control of Supermarket Refrigeration Systems: An Optimal Time Switching Strategy
This paper presents a NMPC of a supermarket refrigeration system. This is a hybrid process involving switched nonlinear dynamics and discrete events, on/off manipulated variables (valves and compressors), continuous controlled variables (goods temperatures) and finally, several operation constraints. The hybrid controller is based on a parameterization of the on/off control signals in terms of ...
متن کاملStochastic Analysis of Synchronization in a Supermarket Refrigeration System
Display cases in supermarket systems often exhibit synchronization, in which the expansion valves in the display cases turn on and off at exactly the same time. The study of the influence of switching noise on synchronization in supermarket refrigeration systems is the subject matter of this work. For this purpose, we model it as a hybrid system, for which synchronization corresponds to a perio...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation and Optimal Design of Supermarket Refrigeration Systems with Supermarket Model “SuperSim”, Part II: Model Applications
As described in Part I, the supermarket simulation software “SuperSim” with its integrated refrigeration, building and HVAC system models, can be used to evaluate, compare and optimize alternative supermarket refrigeration systems. In Part II the model was used to evaluate and compare the performance of a CO2 booster refrigeration system with that of a conventional R404A multiplex system in a s...
متن کاملAalborg Universitet Modeling Supermarket Refrigeration Systems for Supervisory Control in Smart Grid
A modular modeling approach of supermarket refrigeration systems (SRS) which is appropriate for smart grid control purposes is presented in this paper. Modeling and identification are performed by just knowing the system configuration and measured data disregarding the physical details. So, this approach is extendable to different configurations with different modules. The focus of the work is ...
