Economic Model Predictive Control of a Heat Pump for an Integrated Solar Thermal System

This paper proposes a model predictive control (MPC) framework for a heat pump in an integrated solar thermal system. This framework aims to simultaneously maintain the domestic hot water load, minimize electricity costs to operate the heat pump, and mitigate actuator fatigue. The thermal dynamics model of the solar th...
