In this paper, a distributed predictive control strategy for building temperature regulation is proposed, where each controller solves a local optimization problem using information about the expected behavior of the other local regulators.
Abstract
This paper proposes a distributed predictive control strategy for building temperature regulation. The originality of the approach consists of using a dynamic prediction horizon MPC, allowing a more effective disturbances rejection. Then this idea is extended, for multizone temperature control in buildings, in a distributed manner, where each controller solves a local optimization problem using information about the expected behavior of the other local regulators. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is showed through different simulations.
