An optimal control algorithm for borehole thermal energy storage systems
Highlights ► A control strategy for borehole thermal energy storage is proposed. ► Guarantees robustness of the system under all operational conditions. ► Minimizes simultaneously operational costs.
Abstract The aim of this paper is to present an optimal control algorithm to manage borehole thermal energy storage systems (BTES). Such a system gets exhausted, if it is employed intensively, i.e. outlet fluid is outside acceptable temperature ranges, and can no longer provide the desired heat or cold. To avoid this problem a control algorithm is proposed, which simultaneously optimizes the operation costs. This algorithm is based on a dynamic programming technique and results in an array which provides the optimal heat flux for a given field temperature, date and demand. The controller is illustrated on a simulation of an existing building. Several weather scenarios have been examined and the system remained robust under all situations.
