Tractable Predictive Control Strategies for Heating Systems in Buildings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Model Predictive control is an advanced control technique that has been used to optimize thermal comfort in buildings. Nowadays, the new buildings are characterized by an important inertia as well as low power heating systems. Since the thermal losses are very low, taking into account the intermittent occupancies in the control strategy is questionable. More precisely, in this paper, two model predictive controllers are developed to reduce energy consumption while preserving the thermal comfort. These strategies keep using the local controllers and they are adapted for being implemented in embedded systems. The simulation results show lower energy consumptions and higher comfort levels in comparison with non-predictive strategies.

In France, non-residential buildings account for a significant part in energy consumption. Moreover, a large part of this consumption is due to Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems, which are generally badly handled. So, the present work deals with an efficient approach allowing energy consumption to be minimized while ensuring thermal comfort. In this sense, a predictive co...
