The building thermodynamics model, which predicts real-time indoor temperature changes under potential HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) control operations, is crucial for optimizing HVAC control in buildings. While…

This paper proposes a coordinated home energy management system (HEMS) architecture where the distributed residential units cooperate with each other to achieve real-time power balancing. The economic benefits for the retailer and…

Improving the energy-efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems has the potential to realize large economic and societal benefits. This paper concerns the system identification of a hybrid system model of a…

Integration of modern defence weapons into ship power systems poses a challenge in terms of meeting the high ramp rate requirements of those loads. It might be demanding for the generators to meet the ramp rates of these loads. Failure to…

The heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) system consumes the most energy in commercial buildings, consisting over 60% of total energy usage in the U.S. Flexible HVAC system setpoint scheduling could potentially save building energy…

It is anticipated that an uncoordinated operation of individual home energy management (HEM) systems in a neighborhood would have a rebound effect on the aggregate demand profile. To address this issue, this paper proposes a coordinated…

Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as grid-responsive loads and batteries can be harnessed to provide ramping and regulation services across the grid. This paper concerns the problem of optimal allocation of different classes of DERs,…

The large amount of data collected in buildings makes energy management smarter and more energy efficient. This study proposes a design and implementation methodology of data-driven heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control.…

This paper presents a two-layer distributed energy resource (DER) coordination architecture that allows for separate ownership of data, operates with data subjected to a large buffering delay, and employs a new measure of power quality. The…

The increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions in large-scale infrastructure, particularly data centers, requires advanced control strategies to optimize environmental management systems. We propose a multi-agent architecture for…

This paper focuses on energy management in buildings with phase change material (PCM), which is primarily used to improve thermal performance, but can also serve as an energy storage system. In this setting, optimal scheduling of an HVAC…

In this paper, we develop an optimization-based systematic approach for the challenging, less studied, and important problem of optimal partitioning of multi-thermal zone buildings for the decentralized control. The proposed method consists…

Demand flexibility is increasingly important for power grids, in light of growing penetration of renewable generation. Careful coordination of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) can potentially modulate energy demand, decrease…

The heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system accounts for substantial energy use in buildings, whereas a large group of occupants are still not actually feeling comfortable staying inside. This poses the issue of developing…

Commercial buildings account for 17% of U.S. carbon emissions, with roughly half of that from Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC). HVAC devices form a complex thermodynamic system, and while Model Predictive Control and…

This paper presents a real time control strategy for energy storage systems integration in electric vehicles fast charging applications combined with generation from intermittent renewable energy sources. A two steps approach taking…

Air conditioning systems are responsible for the major percentage of energy consumption in buildings. Shared spaces constitute considerable office space area, in which most office employees perform their meetings and daily tasks, and…

The development of current building energy system operation has benefited from: 1. Informational support from the optimal design through simulation or first-principles models; 2. System load and energy prediction through machine learning…

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is extremely energy-consuming, accounting for 40% of total building energy consumption. Therefore, it is crucial to design some energy-efficient building thermal control policies which can…

Distributed control algorithms are known to reduce overall computation time compared to centralized control algorithms. However, they can result in inconsistent solutions leading to the violation of safety-critical constraints. Inconsistent…
