چکیده

The paper describes a fuzzy decisionmalung approach to controlling thermal comfort in the occupied zones of an airconditioned building. The control objective is defined in terms of fuzzy goals and fuzzy cost functions and a fuzzy decision-maker is used to find the most appropriate control action. Simulation results are presented that demonstrate the performance of the comfort control scheme when it is used in different types of buildings. The results show that computing resources need not be wasted on calculating precise values for the control signal, when the control objective is poorly defined.

Design of an embedded fuzzy PD controller for thermal comfort applications

In this paper, a reasoning-based intelligent system makes use of fuzzy control approach, which is designed for thermal comfort applications by using an embedded microcontroller system. In general, it is not possible to implement the mathematical thermal comfort models in actual environment. Thermal comfort usually depends on four environmental parameters and two personal parameters. Normally, o...

Process Control for Thermal Comfort Maintenance Using Fuzzy Logic

This paper presents the application of fuzzy process control and maintenance of thermal comfort in a measurement laboratory. A new systemic approach to process control is described with special emphasis on the human factor, the measurer, who is a constituent part of the feedback loop. For the conventional thermal comfort maintenance process control a correction is provided in accordance with pe...

Fuzzy-Decision-Making Predictive Power Control Approach to On-Grid Photovoltaic Panel

In this paper, a voltage-current mode controller is proposed to adjust both the input current and DC voltage of a boost-inverter in order to improve the performance of the photovoltaic (PV). The proposed system is based on fuzzy-making-decision predictive voltage-current controller (FPVCC). The simulation results show that in case of using the proposed FPVCC, the input current of a PV array is ...

Reinforcement Learning-based Thermal Comfort Control for Vehicle Cabins

Vehicle climate control systems aim to keep passengers thermally comfortable. However, current systems control temperature rather than thermal comfort and tend to be energy hungry, which is of particular concern when considering electric vehicles. This paper poses energy-efficient vehicle comfort control as a Markov Decision Process, which is then solved numerically using Sarsa(λ) and an empiri...
