Abstract—This paper presents optimal model-based control of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system.This HVAC system is made of two heat exchangers: an air-to-air heat exchanger (a rotary wheel heat recovery) and a water-to-air heat exchanger. First dynamic model of the HVAC system is developed. Then the optimal control structure is designed and implemented. The HVAC system is splitted into two subsystems.By selecting the right set-points and appropriate cost functions for each subsystem controller the optimal control strategy is respected to gaurantee the minimum thermal and electrical energy consumption. Finally, the controller is applied to control the mentioned HVAC system and the results show that the expected goals are fulfilled.24317
I. INTRODUCTION
The consumption of energy by heating, ventilating, and
air conditioning (HVAC) equipment in industrial and com-
mercial buildings constitutes a great part of the world energy
consumption [1]. In spite of the advancements made in mi-
croprocessor technology and its impact on the development
of new control methodologies for HVAC systems aiming at
improving their energy efficiency, the process of operating
HVAC equipment in commercial and industrial buildings is
still an inefficient and high-energy consumption process.
It has been estimated that by optimal control of HVAC
systems almost 100 GWh energy can be saved yearly in
Denmark (five million inhabitants) [2]. It shows that a huge
amount of energy can be saved and according to the current
energy prices it will be reasonable to invest a little bit more
in the first cost of HVAC systems.
In this paper, an integrated control system is developed.
That is, in the proposed control system there is no need for
an expilicit supervisory layer to make the system work in
its optimal conditions. The optimal control strategy that has
been developed in [2] is implemented here. So, the controller
follows the optimal control strategy while it tracks the set-
point. In Section II, the dynamic model of the HVAC system
is described. The controller design is presented in Section III.
Finally, the results of applying the proposed control system
is shown in Section IV.
