OPTIMIZING CHILLER PLANT ENERGY SAVINGS USING ADAPTIVE DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROLLER ALGORITHMS.

Author(s) : CASCIA M. A.

Summary

THE PAPER ILLUSTRATES HOW ACTUAL CHILLER PLANT PERFORMANCE DATA COLLECTED FROM AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CAN BE USED TO ADAPT CHILLER PLANT CONTROL TO OPTIMIZE ENERGY SAVINGS. ADAPTIVE ALGORITHMS THAT CAN BE PROGRAMMED INTO A DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROLLER ARE APPLIED TO 3 BASIC OPTIMIZATION CONTROL STRATEGIES: (1) OPTIMIZING THE STAGING ON OR OFF OF MULTIPLE CHILLERS ; (2) OPTIMIZING CONDENSER WATER TEMPERATURE ; AND (3) OPTIMIZING CHILLED WATER TEMPERATURE WHEN VARIABLE-SPEED CHILLED WATER PUMPS EXIST.
