TRNSYS for optimization and Model-Predictive Control with Matlab and GenOpt

Participants number: ~25

This hands-on workshop is divided in two main sessions: optimization and model-predictive control.

Optimization

Presentation of basic optimization principles. Comparison of different approaches to optimize building and system design in TRNSYS with GenOpt or using Matlab as a pre- and post-processor. Hands-on application using case studies for which TRNSYS projects will be provided.

Model-Predictive Control

Presentation of Model-Predictive Control principles. Comparison of different approaches to implement MPC in TRNSYS in two distinct cases: using TRNSYS as the controller model for simulation or real-time implementation, and using TRNSYS as the reference model to investigate MPC using models and control algorithms implemented in Matlab through Type 155. Hands-on application using case studies for which TRNSYS projects will be provided.
