From Model Predictive to Hierarchized Hybrid Controller for Energy Management in Buildings

Abstract

Energy is the major resource in this whole world; however, it has been extensively used by buildings. In this paper, the concept of building's energy management is highlighted by modeling a hierarchized hybrid predictive control. HHMPC uniqueness goes to satisfying inhabitants, minimizing cost while covering minimal disturbances and considering constrains. A comparison was done after modeling and simulating classical model predictive control with a hierarchized hybrid predictive control. The contribution in this paper concerns the validation of the predictive control model. In addition, it treats the modeling and discusses the simulation results of the enhanced MPC called hierarchized hybrid model predictive control.
