Self-tuning control algorithm with SMITH predictor for HVAC systems
the phenomenon of low operation efficiency and wasteful of energy widely exists in HVAC systems.The main reason is that HVAC systems have nonlinear
time-delay and time-variable characteristics
which lead to poor control performance with traditional control methods.It is one of the important ways to improve the control performance of HVAC control loops with the attemption to overcome the unfavorable influences of time-delay and time-variable characteristics.A self-tuning control algorithm with SMITH predictor is put forward in the paper.In the presented control infrastructure
an online identification method is used to estimate HVAC models with time-delay parameter.Then
based on the estimated parameters
the SMITH predictor is adopted to compensate for the time-delay characteristic.Furthermore
a PI controller within the predictor is introduced to improve the robust performance.Also
the control parameters of the control algorithm are updated in real time.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control method is superior to traditional control methods.
