Abstract:Previous studies have identified a significant potential in using economic model predictive control for space heating. This type of control requires a thermodynamic model of the controlled building that maps certain controllable inputs (heat power) and measured disturbances (ambient temperature and solar irradiation) to the controlled output variable (room temperature). Occupancy related disturbances, such as people heat gains and venting through windows, are often completely ignored or assumed to be fully kno… Show more
