Abstract
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 thermal system used in MPC is built using experimental data. The MPC utilizes temperature feedback to compute the optimal power modulation ratio for the heat pump operation. The simulation over a 3-day winter period demonstrates that the proposed strategy effectively shifts energy consumption to off-peak periods via pre-heating. It achieves a 69.1% reduction in electricity costs compared to traditional rule-based control while robustly meeting the hot water load.
This is an example of a paper that will provide a numerical simulation study on analytical solutions for optimal control of solar heat supply systems (SHSS). It will develop and solve a mathematical model for the “solar collector - storage tank” subsystem using a finite element technique and standard k-epsilon turbul...

Given the significant decrease in the efficiency of air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) during winter and the intermittency and instability of solar heating output, which seriously affect the system performance, this paper presents a novel solar-assisted heat pump system with dual energy storage (DES-SAHP). The system is com...

Cabin heating significantly affects the driving range of electric vehicles (EVs) under cold weather conditions, making energy-efficient thermal management essential. Conventional control strategies typically regulate a fixed cabin temperature setpoint, which may lead to suboptimal energy consumption and does not direct...
