Adaptive Identification and Control of HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning) Systems.

Abstract

This report outlines the specialization of modern adaptive control theory to the control of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems as a whole. Several technical aspects of this theory have been developed: preliminary filtration of data, time-optimal control, appropriate estimation of derivatives, novel test inputs, and a sequential UD algorithm. A form of time-optimal control has been found to be a good alternative to adaptive proportional-integral control, and a suggested implementation has been provided. (Keywords: Adaptive control systems; Air conditioning equipment; Heating; Ventilation.
