    Abstract: A control system for a central plant having subplants including devices operating to serve energy loads of a building. The system includes a high level optimization module that performs high level optimization of thermal loads subject to constraints to generate subplant load allocations. The control system includes a low level optimization module that performs low level optimization of the subplant load allocations to determine operating states for the devices. The control system includes a constraint modifier that modifies the constraints for the high level optimization module based on equipment schedules. The control system also includes a binary optimization modifier including a pruner module that receives the minimum off schedule to determine adjusted branches and a seeder module that receives the minimum on schedule to determine a starting node for use in binary optimization performed by the low optimization module.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically updating flow bounds for one or more pumps are provided. An exemplary system includes one or more pumps, one or more processors, and one or more computer-readable media storing program instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include updating bounds on flow provided by the one or more pumps based on one or more values of pump head, determining control decisions for the one or more pumps based on the bounds, and controlling the one or more pumps in accordance with the control decisions.

    Abstract: A system for controlling a subplant comprising one or more assets includes one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including generating a design curve for a first asset included in the subplant based on an asset model, the design curve comprising a plurality of data points that define an operation of the first asset, obtaining operational data for the first asset, determining a degradation factor for the first asset by comparing the design curve and the operational data, generating an operational curve for the first asset by derating the design curve based on the degradation factor, and operating the subplant based on the operational curve.

    Abstract: A controller for a central plant having subplants operating to produce resources consumed by a building. The controller includes a processing circuit including a processor and memory storing instructions executed by the processor. The memory includes an offline rank generator that receives historical subplant allocation data and generates subplant ranks based on the historical subplant allocation data, each of the subplant ranks is associated with one of the subplants and defines a priority of each subplant with respect to production of a resource relative to other subplants that produce the resource. The memory also includes a high level optimizer that uses the subplant ranks associated with each of the subplants to determine resource allocation of the subplants according to the subplant ranks. The processing circuit is operates the subplants according to the resource allocation.
