Abstract

To solve the high labor and maintenance cost problems in actual engineering, a decentralized heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is configured following its physical layout. In a decentralized HVAC control system, each of the updated smart equipment can communicate with the adjacent nodes collaboratively to fulfill the load requirement. Furthermore, to achieve the global optimal operation of an HVAC system, a fully distributed constrained optimization is formulated. In this paper, a fully distributed genetic algorithm (GA) is developed to solve the proposed constrained optimization. The proposed method is confirmed to be effective to realize the global optimization of HVAC system through simulation study.
