Abstract :
This paper focuses on the controller design for heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. The proposed model based design technique relies on the method of feedback linearization in combination with model predictive control. The design is based on a simplified model derived from thermodynamic equations. The control loop is evaluated in numerical simulation as well as on an industrial real world system. It is compared to a control technique which uses a state controller with feedback linearization.
