摘要： A model predictive control (MPC) framework is enhanced to provide prognostic information and fault tolerant control strategies. A system fault is calculated based on predicted values and is used to generate an internal reference trajectory to which the system is controlled using MPC. If the system fault exceeds a threshold maximum, then the MPC control model is either tuned or reconfigured depending on whether the fault is external or internal.

摘要： Formal methods are instituted to verify and validate the finite state machine (FSM) of PLC redundancy software. The method and system is implemented through each phase in the lifecycle of the redundancy software; that is, the requirement phase, design phase, implementation phase and, finally, integration phase (including system integration). At each step along the way, the verification and validation process uses tools such as a checklist-based review and inspection, a requirement traceability analysis, formal verification (model checking) and the like to ensure that the created redundancy software is error-free and will perform as intended when implemented in the redundant PLC system.

摘要： A method of controlling energy consumption in a building includes receiving occupancy data including at least one of occupant request data and occupant schedule data, receiving weather data including at least one of current weather measurement data and weather forecast data, generating an output control signal based on the occupancy data and the weather data, and transmitting the output control signal to a building automation system (BAS) of the building. The occupant request data includes a current request, and the occupant schedule data includes a predicted occupant schedule. The output control signal adjusts a building control device in a zone in the building.
