Optimal chiller loading including transients
Graphical abstract Display Omitted
Highlights Transients are considered in the Optimal Chiller Loading/Sequencing problem. Decision variables are extended with respect to previous OCL/OCS approaches. SPSA is deployed and hyper-parameters tuning is discussed.
Abstract Scheduling and loading of chillers in a multi-chiller plant is considered. A new framework is introduced considering an extended set of independent variables for the optimization problem of energy consumption. In this way the number of decision variables is increased, providing extra degrees of freedom to optimize cooling plant operation. The dynamic effects due to transients arising from switching on and off of units are usually not considered in the literature dealing with Optimal Chiller Loading/Sequencing which is restricted to the static case. In this paper, these effects are treated in a way that results in a manageable optimization problem. A Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation solution is deployed for the problem and the proposed method is compared with a similar but static approach showing the benefits in terms of reduced energy consumption.
