Optimal Supervisory HVAC Control: Experiences in Australia

چکیده
A number of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system vendors and operators have started to implement demand management systems in commercial buildings, yet we contend that the impact of such systems on building performance and occupant comfort is poorly understood. This paper examines such issues, showing the results from demand response experiments in two large office buildings. For optimal performance, we believe the HVAC management system should be dynamic and intelligent, responding to changing events, and considering a variety of external factors such as occupancy, human comfort, electricity price, and weather forecast. An example of such a system is detailed. .

In this paper, we integrate nonlinear control and supervisory control theory to design a controller of a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system. First we design the nonlinear controllers by Lyapunov theory and backstepping. Then we create the discrete abstraction of this system and thus derive the discrete event system model from the continuous plant. Finally we design the supe...
