A DIFFERENTIAL DISCRETE PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION APPROACH TO MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF BUILDING TEMPERATURE

Pasquale Arpaia, Francesco Donnarumma, Carlo Manna
Abstract:
A differential discrete particle swarm optimization method, aimed at designing a predictive air temperature controller for civil buildings, is presented. The predictive control allows the controller outputs to be computed in order to optimise the future behaviour for a heating/cooling plant in a building, regarding set-point tracking and control effort minimization to save energy. The controller is able to predict the building environmental conditions over a specified time interval, thus mathematical models describing the indoor building climate, as well as predicting the outside weather, are used. In this paper, the proposed design method is compared with a standard particle swarm algorithm, and preliminary experimental results are discussed.
