Study of the optimal control problem formulation for modulating air-to-water heat pumps connected to a residential floor heating system
TL;DR: In this article, a modulating air-to-water heat pump connected to a residential floor heating system was investigated and the authors quantified the impact of these simplifications on the performance of the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building models for Model Predictive Control of office buildings with Concrete Core Activation
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of model structure and identification data set on the MPC control performance for an office building with CCA is investigated. And the authors show that a second-order model can achieve equal control performance as a fourth-order one, and that inclusion of solar or internal gains in the identification data sets improves the model accuracy in general.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-objective optimal control of an air-to-water heat pump for residential heating
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the optimal operation of an air-to-water heat pump system and found that the lower the weighting factor for thermal discomfort, the higher the discrepancy is between the nonlinear and convex OCP formulations.
Development of a control-oriented model for borehole dynamics for buildings equipped with ground coupled heat pumps
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the celebrated Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) approach in order to obtain a short-term control model for the temperature dynamics of the borehole system.
