Development of Models and Methods for Automated Control of Heat Supply System with Optimization of Technical Means Structure

Abstract

Analysis of the controlled object, as well as methods and models applied for controlling the heat supply process in a city and urban districts has been carried out. Simulation models of the controlled object functioning in the presence of alternative energy flows with different costs have been developed. The criteria and objective function for optimizing the city’s heat supply process have been synthesized and substantiated. The task of optimizing the process of heat supply in urban districts has been solved based on the transition from the structural optimization of the controlled object to managing the price structure for the energy flows offered to the consumer. The computer-integrated control systems have been implemented for the proposed facilities and their effectiveness has been defined.
