RULE-BASED THERMOSTAT DESIGN FOR NIGHT SETBACK OF HEAT PUMPS.

Author(s) : RUTZ A. L., MORAN M. J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE AUTHORS INTRODUCE A COMPUTER MODEL FOR TESTING HEAT-PUMP THERMOSTAT PERFORMANCE WITH REGARD TO ENERGY AND COST SAVINGS DUE TO NIGHT SETBACK. ALSO INTRODUCED ARE 2 NEW CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR HEAT-PUMP NIGHT SETBACK: AN INEXPENSIVE VARIATION OF EXISTING CONTROL STRATEGIES AND A RULE-BASED CONTROL STRATEGIE USING TECHNIQUESOF ARTIFICIAL INTELLGNE THE COMPUTER MODEL IS BASED ON A TRANSIENT SYSTEM MODEL OF THE RESIDENCE, HEAT PUMP, AND CONTROLLER, IN RESPONSE TO ACTUAL WEATHER DATA. SEASONAL ENERGY USAGE AND COSTS ARE COMPUTED FOR EACH CONTROL STRATEGY, SUBJECT TO THE EFFECTS OF VARIABLE HEAT-PUMP SIZING, BUILDING THERMAL INERTIA, BUILDING HEAT LOSS, CLIMATIC REGION, AND ELECTRIC RATE STRUCTURE.
