Development of an Adaptive HVAC Fuzzy Logic Controller for Commercial Facilities: A Case Study
This paper is a case study of the integration of an energy management system (EMS) in a commercial building. A detailed analysis of this EMS’s impact on energy consumption is presented. High energy demand is very common in commercial and industrial facilities. With this in mind, the present work aims to improve the energy consumption…
Read More Design and Implementation of Closed-loop PI Control Strategies in Real-time MATLAB Simulation Environment for Nonlinear and Linear ARMAX Models of HVAC Centrifugal Chiller Control Systems
The objective of this paper is to investigate three different approaches of modeling, design and discrete-time implementation of PI closed-loop control strategies in SIMULINK simulation environment, applied to a centrifugal chiller system. Centrifugal chillers are widely used in large building HVAC systems. The system consists of an evaporator, a condenser, a centrifugal compressor and an…
Read More Limitations of HVAC Offshore Cables in Large Scale Offshore Wind Farm Applications
The energy marathon is becoming increasingly based on renewable sources, whereas the continuous decrease on the cost of energy production has supported in last decade, for instance, the development of large-scale offshore wind applications. The consistency and availability of the AC-working equipment portfolio is only limited by physical application boundaries, which are quite evident in…
Read More Energy Recovery Equipment and Control Strategies in Various Climate Regions
Different types of air-to-air energy recovery technologies such as coil loops, heat pipes, sensible wheels, and total energy wheels are frequently incorporated in HVAC systems in an attempt to reduce energy consumption. This study examines the impact of various types of energy recovery technologies and capacity control strategies on a building’s cooling, heating, and fan…
Read More Frequency-Based Design of Electric System for Off-shore Wind Power Plant (OWPP)
The paper presents a novel concept of design of electric system for Off-shore Wind Power Plant (OWPP) based on frequency. In the literature, a new transmission system i.e. Fractional Frequency Transmission System (FFTS) has been proposed as an economic alternative to High Voltage AC (HVAC) and High Voltage DC (HVDC) for power transmission from Off-shore…
Read More 1-D Wavelet Signal Analysis of the Actuators Nonlinearities Impact on the Healthy Control Systems Performance
The objective of this paper is to investigate the use of the 1-D wavelet analysis to extract several patterns from signals data sets collected from healthy and faulty input-output signals of control systems as a preliminary step in real-time implementation of fault detection diagnosis and isolation strategies. The 1-D wavelet analysis proved that is an…
