Efficient building energy management using distributed model predictive control

Predictive control Wave energyWind energy a b s t r a c t An Energy Management System (EMS), based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) ideas, isproposed here to balance the consumption of power by a set of electrolysis units in an offshore platform. In order to produce renewable hydrogen, the power is locally generated by wind turbines and wave energy converters and fully used by the electrolyzers. The energy generated at the platform by wind and wave is balanced by regulating the operating point of each electrolysis unit and its connections or disconnections, using an MPC based on a Mixed-Integer-Quadratic-Programming algorithm. This Predictive Control algorithm makes it possible to take into account predictions of available power and power consumption, to improve the balance and reduce the number of connections and disconnections of the devices. Two case studies are carried out on different installations composed of wave and wind energies feeding a set of alkaline electrolyzers. Validation using measured data at the target location of the platforms shows the adequate operation of the proposed EMS.

Abstract.A model of the building heating system, consisting of energy source, a distributed automatic control system, elements of individual heating unit and heating system is designed. Application Simulink of mathematical package Matlab is selected as a platform for the model. There are the specialized application Simscape libraries in aggregate with a wide range of Matlab mathematical tools allow to apply the "acausal" modeling concept. The conducted research of single-pipe heating system configuration and automatic control system allowed comparing the integral parameters of the systems with local and individual regulation. The results of research of thermal condition premises, situated in the extreme movement direction of the coolant are given. The conclusions about the possibility of increasing the operational efficiency of single-pipe heating system configuration in the implementation of distributed control systems are presented.
