Development of a Hardware-in-the-loop Framework with Modelica for Energy Efficient Buildings
Zheng D. O’Neill, Aaron Henry · 2016
This poster details a development of a real-time Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbed for analysis of advanced and intelligent building control strategies using a real-time emulator with actual Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) local controllers. Models running on this real-time emulator are created using a non-proprietary, object-oriented, equation based language, namely, Modelica. A real-time HIL study of single maximum control logic for a Variable Air Volume (VAV) box in a single thermal zone is presented.
