A Temperature Controller for VAV Air-Handling Units Based on Simplified Physical Models
A feedforward controller based on simplified physical models is described for air-handling units to supplement conventional PI control. Inverse static models of the controlled processes produce feedforward control action and the PI feedback loop compensates for modeling errors and unmeasured disturbances. The models are configurable from plant design information and they operate using the sensor signals typically available to an air-handling unit controller. The incorporation of feedforward control reduces the reliance on the feedback loop and makes the tuning of the PI controller less critical. Low gain (default) control parameters may then be used in the feedback loop, thereby eliminating the need for on-site tuning.
This paper describes the control scheme and models, and presents results from tests carried out using a simulated air-handling unit.
