PVM-based intelligent predictive control of HVAC systems

摘要

This paper describes the application of a complete MBPC solution for existing HVAC systems, with a focus on the implementation of the objective function employed. Real-time results obtained with this solution, in terms of economical savings and thermal comfort, are compared with standard, temperature regulated control.**The authors would like to acknowledge the support of QREN SIDT 38798 project, University of Algarve grant no 032/2015 and FCT through IDMEC, under LAETA grant UID/EMS/50022/2013.
