Optimal predictive control for passive climate systems.

Author(s) : LUTE P., PAASSEN D. van

Summary

The paper presents an optimal predictive control system for indoor temperature control of a passive climate system. The control system adjusts the radiator, ventilation windows and an awning of the passive climate system in order to keep the indoor temperature between two specified boundaries. The control actions were calculated by minimizing a linear objective function that includes comfort and energy consumption, through linear programming. Simulations were performed to investigate the behaviour of the controlled indoor temperature process; they showed that the indoor temperature is kept nicely between the boundaries with minimal energy consumption.
