Abstract

While the potential of model-based control is recognized, the development of reasonably accurate models for control applications remains a challenging, cumbersome and time-consuming task. This paper proposes a systematic and generalizable approach – based on low-order control-oriented thermal network (RC) archetypes – for the development, testing and implementation of readily scalable control solutions for buildings. These archetypes, focusing specifically on control applications, can significantly facilitate assessing the effect of control strategies on energy efficiency and load management. Furthermore, this approach can also be used for characterization, design and testing of simple retrofit strategies. The utilization of RC-based archetypes for common types of zones (such as those heated/cooled with forced-air or radiant systems) is proposed. These simple models (often 1st to 4th order models suffice), can also be used for the control of residential buildings. For larger buildings, zonal models can be combined to form whole building models.

面向控制的原型:在建筑中系统应用高级控制的途径

虽然基于模型的控制的潜力得到了认可，但为控制应用开发合理准确的模型仍然是一项具有挑战性、繁琐和耗时的任务。本文提出了一种系统的、可推广的方法——基于低阶面向控制的热网络(RC)原型——用于开发、测试和实施易于扩展的建筑控制解决方案。这些原型，特别关注控制应用，可以显著促进评估控制策略对能源效率和负荷管理的影响。此外，该方法还可用于简单改造策略的表征、设计和测试。建议将基于rc的原型用于常见类型的区域(例如用强制空气或辐射系统加热/冷却的区域)。这些简单的模型(通常一阶到四阶模型就足够了)也可以用于住宅建筑的控制。对于较大的建筑，分区模型可以组合成整体建筑模型。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Building Performance Simulation (JBPS) aims to make a substantial and lasting contribution to the international building community by supporting our authors and the high-quality, original research they submit. The journal also offers a forum for original review papers and researched case studies We welcome building performance simulation contributions that explore the following topics related to buildings and communities: -Theoretical aspects related to modelling and simulating the physical processes (thermal, air flow, moisture, lighting, acoustics). -Theoretical aspects related to modelling and simulating conventional and innovative energy conversion, storage, distribution, and control systems. -Theoretical aspects related to occupants, weather data, and other boundary conditions. -Methods and algorithms for optimizing the performance of buildings and communities and the systems which service them, including interaction with the electrical grid. -Uncertainty, sensitivity analysis, and calibration. -Methods and algorithms for validating models and for verifying solution methods and tools. -Development and validation of controls-oriented models that are appropriate for model predictive control and/or automated fault detection and diagnostics. -Techniques for educating and training tool users. -Software development techniques and interoperability issues with direct applicability to building performance simulation. -Case studies involving the application of building performance simulation for any stage of the design, construction, commissioning, operation, or management of buildings and the systems which service them are welcomed if they include validation or aspects that make a novel contribution to the knowledge base.
