    Abstract: An environmental control system for a building including heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) equipment that operates to affect a temperature of a zone of the building. The system includes a temperature sensor to measure the temperature and a controller including a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to operate the HVAC equipment based on a temperature setpoint and gather training data indicating system dynamics. The processing circuit is configured to monitor a temperature tracking error of the zone and a heat transfer value of the HVAC equipment and determine if the HVAC equipment is in a saturation region based on the temperature tracking error and the heat transfer value. The processing circuit is configured to, in response to a determination that the HVAC equipment is in the saturation region, calculate an adjusted temperature setpoint and operate the HVAC equipment based on the adjusted temperature setpoint.

    Abstract: A controller for a system of equipment that operate to produce or consume one or more resources includes one or more processing circuits configured to generate a resource balance constraint using a balance between a first amount of each resource and a second amount of each resource. The first amount of each resource includes at least an amount of the resource produced by the equipment. The second amount of each resource includes at least an amount of the resource consumed by the equipment. The one or more processing circuits are configured to perform a control process using the resource balance constraint to determine amounts of each resource to be produced or consumed by the equipment and operate the equipment to produce or consume the amounts of each resource determined by the control process.

    Abstract: Granular assets of a building are identified. Each granular asset represents one or more devices of that operate to produce, consume, or store resources in the building. General assets are defined by grouping the granular assets into groups. A non-granular optimization is performed to determine a non-granular allocation of the resources among the general assets. Non-granular allocation defines an amount of each of the resources consumed, produced, or stored by each of the general assets at each time step in a time period. A granular optimization is performed for each general asset to determine a granular allocation of the resources among the granular assets. The granular allocation defines an amount of each resource consumed, produced, or stored by the granular assets at each time step in the time period. The equipment of the building are operated to consume, produce, or store the amount of each resource defined by granular allocation.

    Abstract: A method for controlling production of one or more refined resources by an energy provider includes predicting a demand for the refined resources by one or more consumers of the refined resources as a function of an incentive offered by the energy provider. The method further includes performing an optimization of an objective function subject to a constraint based on the predicted demand for the refined resources to determine an amount of the refined resources for the energy provider to produce and a value of the incentive at multiple times within a time period. The method also includes providing setpoints for equipment of the energy provider that cause the equipment to produce the amount of the refined resources determined by performing the optimization.

    Abstract: A building management system includes a controller configured to control building equipment by providing a control input to the building equipment for each of the plurality of time steps and generate a set of training data for a system model for the building. The training data includes input training data and output training data for each of the plurality of time steps. The controller is further configured to perform a system identification process to identify parameters of the system model. The system identification process includes predicting, for each time step, a predicted value for one or more of the output variables for each of a plurality of subsequent time steps, generating a prediction error function by comparing the output training data to the predicted values, and optimizing the prediction error function to determine values for the parameters of the system model that minimize the prediction error function.

    Abstract: A central plant includes an asset allocator configured to determine an optimal allocation of energy loads across central plant equipment. The asset allocator identifies sources configured to supply input resources, subplants configured to convert the input resources to output resources, and sinks configured to consume the output resources. The asset allocator generates a cost function and a resource balance constraint. The resource balance constraint requires balance between a total amount of each resource supplied by the sources and the subplants and a total amount of each resource consumed by the subplants and the sinks. The asset allocator determines the optimal allocation of the energy loads across the central plant equipment by optimizing the cost function subject to the resource balance constraint. The asset allocator is configured to control the central plant equipment to achieve the optimal allocation of the energy loads.

    Abstract: A heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system for a building includes a plurality of indoor subsystems, a high-level controller, and a plurality of low-level controllers. Each indoor subsystem includes one or more indoor units configured to provide heating or cooling to one or more building spaces. The high-level controller is configured to generate a plurality of indoor subsystem energy targets, each indoor subsystem energy target corresponding to one of the plurality of indoor subsystems and generated based on a thermal capacitance of one or more building spaces to which heating or cooling is provided by the corresponding indoor subsystem. Each low-level indoor controller corresponds to one of the indoor subsystems and is configured to generate indoor setpoints for the one or more indoor units of the corresponding indoor subsystem using the indoor subsystem energy target for the corresponding indoor subsystem and operate the one or more indoor units of the corresponding indoor subsystem using the indoor setpoints.
