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…
Increasing Energy Resiliency to Hurricanes with Battery and Rooftop Solar Through Intelligent Control
Ninad Gaikwad, Naren Srivaths Raman, Prabir Barooah
Rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) panels together with batteries can provide resiliency to blackouts during natural disasters such as hurricanes. Without intelligent and automated de…
Smart Home Energy Management System for Power System Resiliency
Ninad Gaikwad, Naren Srivaths Raman, Prabir Barooah
The need for resiliency of electricity supply is increasing due to increasing frequency of natural disasters---such as hurricanes---that disrupt supply from the power grid. Rooftop…
MPC for Energy Efficient HVAC Control with Humidity and Latent Heat Considerations
Naren Srivaths Raman, Karthikeya Devaprasad, Bo Chen +2
Even though energy efficient climate control of buildings using model predictive control (MPC) has been widely investigated, most MPC formulations ignore humidity and latent heat.…
On the round-trip efficiency of an HVAC-based virtual battery
Naren Srivaths Raman, Prabir Barooah
Flexible loads, especially heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems can be used to provide a battery-like service to the power grid by varying their demand up and…
