Optimal day-ahead operation scheduling of a one-pipe heating system

The article is focused on buildings with legacy one-pipe heating systems that have inherent problems with high losses and maintaining comfort when classical zone hysteresis and constant forward medium temperature control are applied to them. We show a great potential of predictive control to improve both comfort and energy efficiency in these systems by exploiting the possibilities existing in synchronized operation between rooms and the central heating station of the building. Optimal day-ahead scheduling based on predictive control is applied to assess the efficient operation mode of such a system which is then compared with classical reactive controls. The case study of primary school in Strem, Austria is considered and significant comfort improvement and savings possibilities are revealed.
