    Abstract: A building management system includes building equipment configured to operate in accordance with an input to alter a variable state or condition of a building as a process function of the input while incurring a cost of operating the equipment as a cost function of the input. The building management system also includes a controller configured to calculate a value of a self-optimizing control variable as a function of a measured state of the building equipment and drive the value of the self-optimizing control variable towards a setpoint value by generating the input based on the self-optimizing control variable and providing the input to the building equipment. The function comprises multiplying the measured state by a matrix and adding an offset vector. Values of elements of the matrix and the offset vector are determined using a non-optimal reference.

    Abstract: A self-optimizing controller for equipment of a plant provides a manipulated variable as an input to the plant and receives an output variable as feedback. The controller generates a performance variable model defining the performance variable as a function of the manipulated variable and an output variable model defining the output variable as a function of the manipulated variable. The controller uses the performance variable model to determine a gradient of the performance variable, uses the output variable model to determine a gradient of the output variable, and generates a self-optimizing variable based on the gradient of the performance variable model and the gradient of the output variable model. The controller operates the equipment of the plant to affect a variable state or condition of the building based on the value of the self-optimizing variable from the self-optimizing variable model.

    Abstract: A method for performing extremum-seeking control of a plant includes determining multiple values of a correlation coefficient that relates a control input provided as an input to the plant to a performance variable that characterizes a performance of the plant in response to the control input. The performance variable includes a noise-free portion and an amount of noise. The method includes determining an adjusted correlation coefficient by scaling a first value of the correlation coefficient selected from the multiple values relative to a second value of the correlation coefficient selected from the multiple values. The adjusted correlation coefficient relates the noise-free portion of the performance variable to the control input. The method includes using the adjusted correlation coefficient to modulate the control input provided as an input to the plant.

    Abstract: A building management system includes sensors configured to measure a plurality of monitored variables and fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) system configured to identify an operating state associated with the monitored variables. The FDD system includes a communications interface configured to receive samples of the monitored variables from the plurality of sensors. The FDD system includes a direction extractor configured to use locations, in a multidimensional modeling space, of a plurality of stored operating states to extract a direction from each of the stored operating states to each of the other stored operating states. The FDD system includes a fault diagnoser configured to use the extracted directions in a voting-based diagnosis to determine an operating state for each of the samples of the monitored variables.
