Description: Electronic RF radiator valve controllers
provide the possibility to integrate the heat sink of residential
buildings into the overall control of heating systems in order
to harmonize heat request and supply. In the past a lot of
possible control solutions have been developed to optimize
such a system regarding room comfort and efficiency of heat
generation. As common radiator valve controllers are driven
by batteries, the battery lifetime is more and more in focus to
not annoy the customer by the need to change batteries too
frequently. The battery lifetime depends strongly on the
control actions of radiator valves. In the past different model
predictive control approaches have been tested in simulation
and show promising results to increase battery lifetime.
However, due to complexity and the high requirements for
computational power there is still a huge gap between
simulation and implementation in a product.
The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate
alternatives for already existing single room MPC algorithms.
Here, also complexity, robustness and computational
requirements should be taken into account such that the
developed methods have a realistic potential for being
implemented in a product.
