    摘要: An HVAC system includes a plurality of heat transfer devices operable to transfer heat into or out of the plurality zones. The HVAC system includes a controller configured to obtain a heat map indicating zone temperatures, use a thermal model of the building space to predict the zone temperatures as a function of control decisions indicating an amount of heat to transfer into or out of each of the plurality of zones by the plurality of heat transfer devices, determine the amount of heat to transfer into or out of each of the plurality of zones subject to a constraint or penalty based on differences between the zone temperatures predicted to result from the control decisions, and operate the heat transfer devices to transfer the amount of heat into or out of each of the plurality of zones in accordance with the control decisions.

    摘要: A thermal energy production and control system includes a heat recovery chiller, thermal energy storage, and a controller. The controller uses thermal energy load targets to generate control decisions for the heat recovery chiller and the thermal energy storage for a plurality of time steps of a time period. The control decisions include a first amount of hot thermal energy or cold thermal energy to be generated by the heat recovery chiller at a first time step of the time period and stored in the thermal energy storage and a second amount of the hot thermal energy or the cold thermal energy to be discharged from the thermal energy storage and used to satisfy one or more of the thermal energy load targets for a second time step of the time period. The controller operates the heat recovery chiller and the thermal energy storage in accordance with the control decisions.
