Near optimal ice storage system controller.

Author(s) : RUCHTI T. L., DREES K. H., DECIOUS G. M.

Summary

The paper describes a near optimal controller (NOC) that can be utilized for partial storage systems which employ internal melt ice storage tanks. The controller is a real time expert system that incorporates rules or heuristics learned by observing common characteristics of optimal control trajectories which minimize energy and demand costs over a monthly billing period. In all cases, the simulated costs of the NOC were within 4.2% of optimal with an average cost of 1.7% above optimal.
