Opportunities and Applications of Model Predictive Control in Building Energy Systems
Due to the complex composition of building energy system equipment,more forms of energy supply,and variable load demand,the energy utilization efficiency is not high under the traditional PID control,and there is still a lot of room for optimization and energy saving in the operation and control strategy of building energy system.Model predictive control as a technology that can use building models,disturbance prediction and optimization algorithms to improve the performance of building control has received extensive attention from scholars.Combined with some recent researches,the basic principles of MPC,the key factors affecting MPC performance and practical implementation are analyzed to provide future solutions for advanced HVAC control for researchers in related scientific and practical fields.
