Identification of control regularity of heating stations based on cross-correlation function dynamic time delay method

Further experimental results on modelling and algebraic control of a delayed looped heating-cooling process under uncertainties

“…When modelling a pipe network in a heating system with heating substations, pipe network thermal delay and building thermal inertia delay were determined in Ref. [ 15 ]. The cross-correlation function was used to estimate the delay values therein.…”

“…The so-called fine temperature control of a heating-stations pipe network system to reduce energy consumption and carbon emission was proposed in Ref. [ 15 ]. Pipe network and building inertia thermal delays were included in the design.…”
