For decades, electricity customers have been treated as mere recipients of electricity in vertically integrated power systems. However, as customers have widely adopted distributed energy resources and other forms of customer participation in active dispatch (such as demand response) have taken shape, the value of mining knowledge from customer behavior patterns and using it for power system operation...
Heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have played an important role in building energy and comfort management. It is designed to provide a relatively constant and comfortable temperature in buildings and provide fresh and filtered air with a comfortable humidity level. In this paper, an optimal control strategy is proposed to control the HVAC system for maintaining building's indoor...
In this paper, a multi-agent based control framework is proposed for energy and comfort management in integrated smart building and micro-grid systems. This micro-grid system operates independently from the power grid, and distributed renewable resources including solar, wind, and batteries supply power to the whole building. A multi-agent control system with particle swarm optimizer (PSO) is developed...
In this paper, a multi-agent intelligent control system is applied to design a control system for smart and sustainable buildings. Smart and sustainable buildings require solving conflicts between energy consumption and indoor comfort level. Also, user preferences should be taken consideration in the control system design. Hierarchical control architecture is introduced and utilized to design such...
