Development of a Self-Tuning Controller for HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning) Systems.

Abstract

A self-tuning control algorithm suitable for application to many processes, including those of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning, was developed and tested. Initial experimental evaluation indicates that the controller may be applicable to a variety of common HVAC processes. Self-tuning controls can improve process efficiency and reduce maintenance. Keywords include: Control systems; Self tuning; Adaptive control; and HVAC.
