Abstract

Modeling and regulating the internal climate of a greenhouse have been a challenge as it is a complex and time variant system. The main goal is to regulate the internal climate considering the difference between nighttime and diurnal phases of the day. To depict the comportment of the greenhouse, a multi model approach based on two multivariable black box models have been proposed representing the diurnal and nighttime phases of the day. The least-squares method is utilized to identify the parameters of these two models based on an experimental collected data. We have shown that these two models are more representative than one model to describe the dynamic behavior of the greenhouse. The second contribution is to control the internal temperature and hygrometry respecting constraints on actuators and controlled variables. For this purpose, a constrained model predictive control scheme based on the multi-modeling approach have been developed. The optimization problem of the control law is transformed to a convex optimization problem includes linear matrix inequalities (LMI). The simulation results show that the adopted control method of indoor climate allows rapid and precise tracking of set points and rejects effectively the external disturbances affecting the greenhouse.

Abstract

Today, the building sector is the most important consumer of energy. The main challenge in building management is to obtain the desired performance taking into account many aspects such as comfort requirements, variation of building physical characteristics, system constraints, and energy management. For this purpose, a predictive control approach applied to the building thermal has been designed to achieve desired performances combined with an energy optimization approach based on intrinsic system parameters. The developed approach is applied with an online identification system for effective predictive control to take into account the reel building characteristics and to choose the optimal tuning parameters. The simulation results show good performances in terms of accuracy and robustness face to internal and external disturbances with respect to system constraints.
