Abstract: A controller for a building including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include parsing a computer-aided design (CAD) file or a building information model (BIM) file for the building to identify building equipment that operates to affect a variable state or condition of a zone of the building. The operations include generating one or more zone models describing one or more control relationships between the building equipment and the variable state or condition of the zone based on the CAD file or the BIM file. The operations include using the one or more zone models to perform a model-based operation for the building equipment.

Abstract: A controller for performing a peer analysis of a predictive model for a building including processors and non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations. The operations include comparing model parameters of a set of predictive models corresponding to a set of building zones, the model parameters indicating system dynamics of the building zones, to determine whether any of the building zones are exhibiting abnormal system dynamics. The operations include initiating a corrective action in response to determining that at least one of the building zones is exhibiting abnormal system dynamics.

Abstract: An environmental control system for a building space including heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) equipment that operates to control a temperature of the building space. The system includes lighting equipment that operates to control a luminosity and affect a heat load disturbance for the building space. The system includes an environmental controller including a processing circuit configured to predict the heat load disturbance based on potential operating states of the lighting equipment over a time period. The heat load disturbance affects the temperature of the building space. The processing circuit is configured to generate control decisions for the HVAC and lighting equipment based on the predicted heat load disturbance and subject to constraints on the temperature and luminosity of the building space. The processing circuit is configured to operate the HVAC and lighting equipment based on the control decisions.

Abstract: A model predictive maintenance system for building equipment that performs operations including obtaining an objective function defining a cost of operating and performing maintenance on the equipment as a function of operating and maintenance decisions for time steps within a time period of a life cycle horizon and including performing a first computation of the objective function under a first scenario where maintenance is performed on the equipment during the period, a result of the first computation indicating a first cost. The operations include performing a second computation under a second scenario in which maintenance is not performed during the period, a result indicating a second cost. The operations include initiating an automated action to perform maintenance on the equipment in accordance with decisions defined by the first scenario if the first cost is less than or equal to the second cost.

Abstract: A building energy system includes equipment and an asset allocator configured to determine an optimal allocation of energy loads across the equipment over a prediction horizon. The asset allocator generates several potential scenarios and generates an individual cost function for each potential scenario. Each potential scenario includes a predicted load required by the building and predicted prices for input resources. Each individual cost function includes a cost of purchasing the input resources from utility suppliers. The asset allocator generates a resource balance constraint and solves an optimization problem to determine the optimal allocation of the energy loads across the equipment. Solving the optimization problem includes optimizing an overall cost function that includes a weighted sum of individual cost functions for each potential scenario subject to the resource balance constraint for each potential scenario. The asset allocator controls the equipment to achieve the optimal allocation of energy loads.

Abstract: A frequency response optimization system includes a battery configured to store and discharge electric power, a power inverter configured to control an amount of the electric power stored or discharged from the battery, a high level controller, and a low level controller. The high level controller is configured to receive a regulation signal from an incentive provider, determine statistics of the regulation signal, and use the statistics of the regulation signal to generate an optimal frequency response midpoint. The optimal midpoint achieves a desired change in the state-of-charge of the battery while participating in a frequency response program. The low level controller is configured to use the midpoints to determine optimal battery power setpoints for the power inverter. The power inverter is configured to use the optimal battery power setpoints to control an amount of the electric power stored or discharged from the battery.
