A tuning methodology of Model Predictive Control design for energy efficient building thermal control

Optimal Tuning of Model Predictive Controller Weights Using Genetic Algorithm with Interactive Decision Tree for Industrial Cement Kiln Process

“…Conventional gradient descent [20] approach has also been investigated to determine the optimal set of MPC parameters based on process repeatability and pre-defined time-domain specifications. Formulation of the cost function, which has to be minimized to determine the MPC parameters, is a complex process, and several attempts have been reported in the literature [21][22][23]. Customization of this cost function and selection of optimization techniques have brought in a wider variant of MPC tuning strategies.…”

“…The cost functions are formulated as per the available plant knowledge and also using the economic aspects. Maximization of comfort and energy saving [21] are achieved by weight tuning in building thermal/heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) [22] control system. Minimization of energy consumption in various domestic appliances like the water heater, air conditioner, and refrigerator had been addressed by weight adjustment in the MPC.…”

Modeling, Simulation, and Temperature Control of a Thermal Zone with Sliding Modes Strategy

“…Here the desired temperature for the closed room is called reference temperature T re f , and the switch u represents the internal gain state. With these variables and differentiating with respect to time, the state-space model can then be implemented by Equations (13) and (14):…”

“…[6,12] use circuits of 4th and 7th order to model single thermal zones, while Refs. [13,14] use simplifications and apply different control techniques.…”

Análisis dinámico del confort en edificios con estrategias de control adaptativo en modos deslizantes

“…Por otra parte, los paneles solares también representan una estrategia altamente utilizada [45], en investigaciones como [46] se reportan reducciones del flujo entrante de hasta 38 %, pero que en combinación con techos frescos y verdes puede aumentar, según se reporta en trabajos como [47] y [48]. La reducción del flujo de calor entre un espacio cerrado y el entorno con estrategias pasivas es una importante herramienta, pero muchos investigadores han optado por estrategias activas, enfocándose en controlar de manera eficiente los sistemas de refrigeración y calefacción [49,50,51,52]. Por ejemplo en [4] se analizaron múltiples edificios con diferentes tamaños en Montreal, Canadá.…”
