"Implementation of cooperative Fuzzy model predictive control for an energy-efficient office building";

English abstract:
The design and implementation of a nonlinear model predictive controller (MPC) scheme for an energy-efficient office building is
presented. Because of the nonlinear building behavior local linear model networks are used to model the building dynamics. For
each of the building´s zones a dedicated Fuzzy model predictive controller (FMPC) is implemented. In addition to the FMPCs a
globalMPC is designed to control the coupling zone (concrete core activation). To coordinate the overactuated system a cooperative
iteration-loop is designed, which leads to cooperative Fuzzy model predictive control (CFMPC). The CFMPC has been successfully
implemented in a real office building, and the first results after commissioning are presented and discussed. Additional simulation
studies demonstrate that the proposed CFMPC achieves higher comfort with less cost as compared to a rule-based controller.
