Self-Excitation: An Enabler for Online Thermal Estimation and Model Predictive Control of Buildings

no code implementations • 27 Dec 2015 • Peter Radecki, Brandon Hencey

Comparing against a baseline thermostat controller, we demonstrate the utility of both the initially acquired and improved thermal models within a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework, which anticipates weather uncertainty and time-varying temperature set-points.
