This paper presents an application case study of an economic model predictive control (EMPC) method for optimizing the building demand and energy cost under the time-of-use price policy. The control strategy is comprised of an economic objective function that accounts for the combination of energy and demand costs with a time-of-use rate structure, a dynamic thermal process and power model of the...
This paper investigates the application of model predictive control (MPC) method in a MicroGrid with distributed energy resources (DERs), including distributed generators, energy storage and demand response to achieve higher penetration of renewable energy. A MicroGrid is an aggregation of network that is connected to a centralized grid and can be operated autogenously. MPC utilizes a simulation model...
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of model predictive control (MPC) in reducing the energy and demand costs for buildings in an electricity grid with time-of-use pricing and demand charges. A virtual model for a single floor, multi-zone commercial building equipped with a variable air volume (VAV) cooling system is built by Energyplus. Real-time data exchange between...
