Cost, efficiency, and emissions concerns have motivated the application of advanced control techniques to multiple carrier energy systems. Research in energy management and control …
This study presents an optimization algorithm for Model Predictive Control (MPC) of the HVAC systems in multi-family residential buildings assessing the performance of four …
Abstract Model predictive control is a promising approach to reduce the CO 2 emissions in the building sector. However, the vast modeling effort hampers the widescale practical …
Although predictive control is an effective approach leveraging weather forecast information to control indoor climate, forecast errors would lead to poor energy management decisions …
The integration of large-scale heat pumps and thermal energy storage can facilitate sector coupling, potentially lowering heating and cooling costs in industries and buildings. This …
There is a need for enhanced flexibility to allow the high penetration of intermittent renewable power into the power system. In this way, transmission system operators (TSO) …
