Abstract

Building energy systems pose challenging control tasks when aiming for energy efficient though thermally comfortable control of heating, cooling, and ventilation. Rule based controllers can be easily outperformed by taking system predictions and weather forecasts into account. For model predictive control (MPC), the choice of the cost function is crucial. Here, we show a multi-objective MPC case study and present automated decision making approaches. This reveals the trade-off between cost functions and underlines their importance in MPC control design for building energy systems.
