Sažetak
Model predictive control has been recognized as one of the essential solutions to achieve considerable energy savings in buildings. However, its performance on a building zone level can be inferior to a well-tuned conventional controller, especially in situations with constant energy prices and conservative comfort constraints. Optimization problem in the background has to be chosen to guarantee recursive feasibility and considerable energy savings without compromising the users comfort at the same time. This paper gives a novel formulation of the model predictive temperature control problem in buildings and its fair comparison with conventional controllers with the same level of flexibility allowed in zone temperature control. All controllers are tested for a system with seasonal heating and cooling, which is the most common case in real applications. It is shown that the introduced formulation leads to the model predictive controller that significantly outperforms conventional controllers both in energy consumption and users comfort.
