A Central Chilled Water Plant Model for Designing Learning-Based Controllers
Zhong Guo, Prabir Barooah
We describe a framework of modeling a central chilled water plant (CCWP) that consists of an aggregate cooling coil, a number of heterogeneous chillers and cooling towers, and a ch…
Optimal Control of District Cooling Energy Plant with Reinforcement Learning and MPC
Zhong Guo, Aditya Chaudhari, Austin R. Coffman +1
We consider the problem of optimal control of district cooling energy plants (DCEPs) consisting of multiple chillers, a cooling tower, and a thermal energy storage (TES), in the pr…
Reinforcement Learning for Optimal Control of a District Cooling Energy Plant
Zhong Guo, Austin R. Coffman, Prabir Barooah
District cooling energy plants (DCEPs) consisting of chillers, cooling towers, and thermal energy storage (TES) systems consume a considerable amount of electricity. Optimizing the…
MPC-Based Hierarchical Control of a Multi-Zone Commercial HVAC System
Naren Srivaths Raman, Rahul Umashankar Chaturvedi, Zhong Guo +1
This paper presents a novel architecture for model predictive control (MPC) based indoor climate control of multi-zone buildings to provide energy efficiency. Unlike prior works we…
Characterizing capacity of flexible loads for providing grid support
Austin R. Coffman, Zhong Guo, Prabir Barooah
Flexible loads are a resource for the Balancing Authority (BA) of the future to aid in the balance of supply and demand in the power grid. Consequently, it is of interest for a BA…
Aggregation and Data Driven Identification of Building Thermal Dynamic Model and Unmeasured Disturbance
Zhong Guo, Austin R. Coffman, Jeffrey Munk +3
An aggregate model is a single-zone equivalent of a multi-zone building, and is useful for many purposes, including model based control of large heating, ventilation and air condit…
