本文总结了ASHRAE项目“暖通空调系统动力学和现有建筑中的能源使用”的最终研究结果。-该项目由关于建筑运行动力学的TC 4.6（前身为TG）赞助。该项目的总体目标是确定暖通空调系统的运行策略，该系统结合了系统动力学和相互作用，并可能减少能源使用。关于该项目的前一篇论文（Hackner等人，1984年）报告了设备动力学的短期测试结果和仿真模型开发。本文描述了如何利用该模型确定最优控制策略。然后通过对暖通空调系统的仿真实现了优化策略，并探讨了系统参数的影响。比较了当前HVAC运行策略、优化策略和恒定设定点策略。与当前控制策略相比，使用优化策略可以节省8.7%的能源。 与当前策略和优化策略相比，恒定设定点策略分别使用了9%和19%的能量。评估了控制决定之间的时间间隔的影响。对于在动态控制下运行的系统，与每小时做出控制决策的系统相比，可以节省3%到4%的能源。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1985年，第91卷，pt。1B芝加哥

This paper summarizes the final results of the research done on the ASHRAE project entitled “HVAC System Dynamics and Energy Use in Existing Buildings.” This project was sponsored by TC 4.6, (formerly TG) on building operation dynamics. The overall objective of the project was to determine operating strategies for HVAC systems that incorporate system dynamics and interactions and potentially reduce energy use. The previous paper on this project (Hackner et al. 1984) reported on the results of short term tests of equipment dynamics and the simulation model development.In this paper, the use of the model to determine an optimal control strategy is described. The optimal strategy is then implemented via simulation of the HVAC system, and the effects of system parameters are explored. The current HVAC operating strategy, the optimized strategy, and a constant set point strategy were compared. An energy savings of 8.7% is possible using the optimized strategy compared to the current control strategy. The constant set point strategy used 9% and 19% percent more energy when compared to the current and optimized strategies, respectively.The effect of the time between control decisions was evaluated. A 3 to 4% energy savings was possible for a system operating under dynamic control as opposed to a system in which control decisions were made on an hourly basis.
