Particle Swarm Optimization and Kalman Filtering for Demand Prediction of Commercial Buildings

François Maréchal, Samira Fazlollahi, Araz Ashouri

The integration of weather forecasts and demand prediction into the energy management system of buildings is usually achieved using a model-based predictive control. The performance of such control techniques strongly depends on the accuracy of the thermal ...

A solid thermal storage model for the optimization of buildings operation strategy

François Maréchal, Samira Fazlollahi, Nils Christian Schüler

With an increasing fluctuation of energy supply due to the integration of renewable energy utilities peak- shaving becomes more and more important. Storage systems are a considerable option for this purpose. For the heat supply in cities the buildings them ...

Multi-objective, multi-period optimization of district energy systems: IV – A case study

François Maréchal, Samira Fazlollahi, Araz Ashouri

A multi-objective, multi-period model for optimizing the design and operating strategy of district energy systems is proposed by authors [1]. In the developed model the process and energy integration tech- niques are principally investigated. In the presen ...

Multi-objective investment and operating optimization of energy systems with integer cut constraints and evolutionary algorithm

François Maréchal, Samira Fazlollahi

The design and operating of energy systems are key issues for matching the energy supply and consumption. Several optimization methods based on the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) have been developed for this purpose. However, due to the uncertaint ...
