Programmable control of heating for systems with long time delays

Abstract

This paper deals with practical aspects of long time delays dynamic system optimization. In the first part, the paper introduces the system - an atypical flat - and explains the heating problem optimization. The first part also defines independent heating zones. The paper proposes a technical implementation of individual controlled zones and necessary software requirements in the second part. The third part of the paper introduces a control strategy to ensure optimal heating from the economical point of view. The last part of the paper shows real data and evaluates the benefits of the selected control strategy.
