Title: Rule-based optimal control for the cooling water subsystem of chiller plants
Abstract: The chiller system in a building accounts for the main part of the building's total energy consumption, so it is critical to optimize the operation of chiller system for the purpose of saving energy. A chiller system generally consists of evaporation side and condensing side. The condensing side includes chillers, cooling water pumps and cooling towers, which form a subsystem of cooling water. It is a typical optimization problem to minimize the total energy consumption of cooling water subsystem. This paper discusses how to solve the optimization problem of the cooling water subsystem and proposes a simple optimal control rule for field operation based on the optimization results.
