Extensive control engineering knowledge resulting from experiments on actual buildings is needed before the wide application of an advanced control methods, such as model predictive control (MPC), which are more effective and energy-efficient than the traditional controllers. Simulation studies on the application of control may provide promising results, but the corresponding experimental validations may prove otherwise.

MPC of the indoor air temperature achieved an AC temperature setpoint tracking RMSE which was 0.7°C lower than that achieved by the built-in ON/OFF AC control.

An efficient method, named arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) is used for that purpose.

The demonstration of the suggested AOA method has been made on 33-bus, 69-bus, 85-bus, and 118-bus RDNs for optimum orientation and capacity of DGs with distinct power factors (unity, fixed, and optimal).

Selecting the best state (Q) and input (R) weighting matrices is a significant difficulty in the design of the LQG controller for real-time applications since it affects the controller's performance and optimality. The weighting matrices are often chosen by a trial-and-error method that not only complicates the design but also does not yield optimal outcomes. Therefore, in this paper, a PSO method is developed and used in the design of the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and LQG controllers for the surface-to-air missile control system to choose the elements of the Q and R matrices in the best possible way. Finally, a comparative analysis between the designed controllers was presented. The results shows that a good performance was achieved by using the proposed PSO-tuned design process.
