Adaptive Robust Control Scheme Applied to a Single-Zone HVAC System

The present paper addresses the modelling and control of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system while the system is operating under uncertainty. The uncertainty may be due to thermal storage effect, heat and moisture generation, and outside temperature and humidity change. These may be unpredictable for a generic room. The adaptive robust control proposed for this system will take the uncertainty into account. No statistical information of the uncertainty is ever needed. The uncertainty is assumed bounded but the bound is unknown.
