A unified framework for coordination of thermostatically controlled loads
Austin Coffman, Ana Bušić, Prabir Barooah
A collection of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) -- such as air conditioners and water heaters -- can vary their power consumption within limits to help the balancing autho…
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…
An adaptive MPC scheme for energy-efficient control of building HVAC systems
Tingting Zeng, Prabir Barooah
An autonomous adaptive MPC architecture is presented for control of heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) systems to maintain indoor temperature while reducing energy use.…
