Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dynamic model of a radiant floor heating (RFH) system which predicts the dynamic response of RFH system has been developed. The overall model consists of a boiler, an embedded tube floor slab and building enclosure. The overall model was described by nonlinear differential equations, which were programmed and solved using in MATLAB. The RFH system model has been applied to both a single zone and a multi-zone RFH system. The predicted dynamic responses of the model under several operating conditions were studied. Also, a zonal model of RFH system was developed to study the air temperature distribution in the zone. Three different control strategies for improving the performance of RFH systems were explored. These are: (i) a conventional PI control, (ii) a predictive control and (iii) an optimal control. The simulation results show that PI control strategy is an efficient control strategy for RFH system from the point of view of temperature regulation. The simulation results also show that the predictive PI control maintains zone air temperature close to the set-point better than the conventional PI control. Besides, the predictive PI control strategy saves 10∼15% energy, compared to the conventional PI control strategy. In addition, the simulation results also show that the optimal PI control strategy could slightly improve both the zone air temperature regulation and energy efficiency, compared to the predictive PI control. Since the predictive control strategy is simple and easy to implement, it is considered as a good candidate strategy for RFH systems.

Download or read book Performance Assessment of an Under-floor Heating System Integrated with Solar Energy Under the Weather Conditions of Lebanon written by Patrick Elie Kattan and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, a new model of under-floor heating systems is developed and validated with published data; the model represents a compromise between the accuracy and the complexity of other models found in the literature, and could be used for transient simulations under several control strategies. In addition, a study is conducted to compare the energy efficiency of under-floor and convective heating systems under equal indoor comfort levels and air quality, for the four climatic zones of Lebanon; the results show that the radiant systems provide 26% reduction in the peak demand, and 30% reduction in the energy consumption. Moreover, an integrated solar/diesel heating system is proposed as the energy source, and design charts are developed for the sizing of the solar system. The solar panels area is then optimized based on a cost analysis in order to minimize the total cost of the system over its life time. Finally, two case studies are conducted for Beirut and Cedars; it was found that the integrated system will pay-back in 12 years in Beirut and in 7 years in Cedars.

Download or read book A Study of Predictive Control Strategies for Optimally Designed Solar Homes written by José Augustín Candanedo Ibarra and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the development of predictive control strategies for optimally or near-optimally designed solar homes. Optimal design refers to the integration of renewable energy technologies (mainly active and passive solar) with a high-quality building envelope as well as efficiency and conservation measures to achieve substantial reductions in energy consumption and peak demand. Effective implementation of these technologies requires an integrated design approach, which considers their interactions with the building and its services. Furthermore, control strategies must be an essential part of the integrated design of a building to improve energy performance and ensure occupant comfort. In optimally designed solar homes, control strategies should incorporate the collection, storage and delivery of solar energy. Weather forecasts along with an understanding of the building's thermal dynamics (e.g., time delays due to thermal mass) enable predicting and managing loads and solar energy availability. Design and operation strategies of a case study, the Alstonvale House, are presented. Features of this house include passive solar design, a building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPV/T) system coupled with a solar-assisted heat pump, a thermal energy storage tank and a radiant floor heating system in a thermally massive concrete slab. Design and control approaches developed for the Alstonvale House provided the basis for generalized control strategies applicable to optimally designed solar homes. Simplified building models, which can be derived from more detailed models or on-site measurements, can facilitate the implementation of predictive control techniques. In this investigation, model-based predictive control was applied to a radiant floor heating system and the position of roller blinds in a room with high solar gains. Predictive control can also be applied to optimize the operation of renewable energy systems. In this study, forecasts of heating loads and solar radiation were used in a dynamic programming algorithm to select a near-optimal set-point trajectory for an energy storage tank heated with a heat pump assisted by a BIPV/T system.

Download or read book Dynamic Modeling, Control and Energy Simulation of a Solar-assisted Hydronic Space Heating System in a Multi-function Building written by Xiangyu Cai and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dynamic model of a solar-assisted hydronic space heating system for a multi-function building has been developed. The system performance under different control strategies and the model-based energy simulations studies have been conducted. The system consists of several components including a boiler, heat exchangers, flat-plate solar collectors, a water storage tank, baseboard heaters and a radiant floor heating system. The model consists of nonlinear differential equations which were programmed and solved using the MATLAB software. Two control strategies have been explored to compare the system performance: (i) a conventional PI control and (ii) a gain-scheduling adaptive (GSA) PI control. The simulation results indicate that the system performance under GSA PI control is better than the conventional PI control with respect to disturbance rejection and stability. An optimization problem was formulated and solved to study the energy performance of the system. Preliminary simulation results with assumed outdoor temperature profiles showed that the optimized set-point operating strategy contributes 7% and 14.87% to boiler energy saving in mild and warm day conditions compared with constant set-point strategy. One week energy simulations under actual weather conditions based on typical meteorological year (TMY) data have been conducted to investigate the percent contribution of solar energy to space heating. The simulation results show that the solar system contributes less energy during cold winter conditions such as in the month of December. However, it can reduce 16.94% of boiler energy supplied to the radiant floor heating system in the month of March. Besides, the implementation of the optimal GSA PI control strategy can result in higher solar fractions of 5.71% and 30.36% as compared to the base case PI control under cold (December) and mild (March) weather conditions, respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HVAC systems, load shifting, indoor climate, and energy and ventilation performance analyses are the key topics when improving energy performance in new and renovated buildings. This development has been boosted by the recently established nearly zero energy building requirements that will soon be in use in all EU Member States, as well as similar long-term zero energy building targets in Japan, the US, and other countries. The research covered in this Special Issue provides evidence of how new technical solutions have worked, in practice, in new or renovated buildings, and also discusses problems and how solutions should be further developed. Another focus is on the more detailed calculation methods needed for the correct design and sizing of dedicated systems, and for accurate quantification of energy savings. Occupant behavior and building operation is also examined, in order to avoid common performance gaps between calculated and measured performance. These topics demonstrate the challenge of high performance buildings as, in the end, comfortable buildings with good indoor climate which are easy and cheap to operate and maintain are expected by end customers. Ventilation performance, heating and cooling, sizing, energy predictions and optimization, load shifting, and field studies are some of the key topics in this Special Issue, contributing to the future of high performance buildings with reliable operation.
