Performance Evaluation and Optimal Design of Supermarket Refrigeration Systems with Supermarket Model “SuperSim”, Part I: Model Description and Validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conventional supermarket refrigeration systems are responsible for considerable CO2 emissions due to high energy consumption and large quantities of refrigerant leakage. In the effort to conserve energy and reduce environmental impacts, an efficient design tool for the analysis, evaluation and comparison of the performance of alternative system designs and controls is required. This paper provides a description of the modelling procedure employed in the supermarket simulation model ‘SuperSim’ for the simulation of the performance of centralised vapour compression refrigeration systems and their interaction with the building envelope and HVAC systems. The model which has been validated against data from a supermarket has been used for the comparison of R404A and CO2 refrigeration systems and the optimisation of the performance of transcritical CO2 systems. These results are presented in Part II of the paper.

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...
متن کاملHybrid 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 ...

Abstract: Minimizing the work consumed in refrigeration system is the most effective measure to reduce the cost of products in sub-ambient chemical processes. The introduction of mixed working fluids into refrigeration system in place of pure working fluids is a recent advancement applied in the field. Due to the lack of systematic design method for Mixed Refrigerant Cycle (MRC), conventional a...

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 ...
