Definitions
- the present application generally relates to extremum seeking control strategies.
- the present application more particularly relates to regulating, via extremum seeking control, the amount of air that is flowing through a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system in order to reduce the amount of mechanical heating and cooling required within an air-handling unit (AHU).
- HVAC heating, ventilation and air conditioning
- Extremum seeking control is a class of self-optimizing control strategies that can dynamically search for the unknown and/or time-varying inputs of a system for optimizing a certain performance index. It can be considered a dynamic realization of gradient searching through the use of dithering signals.
- the gradient of the system output with respect to the system input is typically obtained by slightly perturbing the system operation and applying a demodulation measure. Optimization of system performance can be obtained by driving the gradient towards zero by using an integrator in the closed-loop system.
- ESC is a non-model based control strategy, meaning that a model for the controlled system is not necessary for ESC to optimize the system.
- Typical ESCs utilize a closed-loop configuration in which a gradient is calculated between the inputs to a plant and system performance. An integrator is then used in the closed-loop system to drive the gradient to zero.
- a detrimental phenomenon known as "integrator windup" may occur if the determined optimal reference point for the system is mathematically outside of the operating range for the actuator, causing the optimal settings for the actuator to correspond to an operating boundary.
- actuator saturation When the actuator cannot move to the optimal setting determined by the ESC loop, a condition known as actuator saturation is said to exist.
- the optimal power consumption for an AHU utilizing an extremum seeking controller may correspond to a damper opening of less than 0%, a physical impossibility.

- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a building 5 with an HVAC system, according to an exemplary embodiment.
- building 5 has an air handling unit (AHU) 10.

- Each zone assigned to an AHU may be further subdivided through the use of variable air volume boxes or other HVAC configurations.
- FIG. 2 a schematic diagram of an environmental control system 400 having an AHU 430 is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment.
- Environment control system 400 includes a workstation 402, a supervisory controller 404 (e.g., a network automation engine (NAE)), and an AHU controller 410 which utilizes extremum seeking, according to an exemplary embodiment.
- AHU controller 410 is coupled to supervisory controller 404 via communications link 420.
- Workstation 402 and supervisory controller 404 are coupled via a communications bus 406.

- Environment control system 400 may be a building
- system 400 may be a unitary system having an AHU or another damper system.
- controller 410 is operatively associated with a controlled air handling unit such as AHU 430.
- Controller 410 is configured to operate as a finite state machine with the three states depicted in FIG. 3, wherein AHU 430 uses extremum seeking logic when in state 503. A transition occurs from one state to another, as indicated by the arrows, when a specified condition or set of conditions occurs.
- the operational data of AHU 430 is checked when controller 410 is in a given state to determine whether a defined transition condition exists.
- a transition condition is a function of the present state and may also refer to a specific time interval, temperature condition, supply air condition and/or return air condition.
- a transition condition occurs when controller 410 remains in a given operating mode for a predetermined period of time without adequately providing an output corresponding to a setpoint provided to the controller 410 by the supervisory controller 404.
- a transition condition occurs in a mechanical cooling mode when the system is unable to provide an output of air at the desired temperature within a reasonable amount of time.
- valve 442 for heating coil 440 is controlled to modulate the flow of hot water, steam, or electricity to heating coil 440, thereby controlling the amount of energy transferred to the air. This maintains the supply air temperature at the setpoint.
- Dampers 460, 462, and 464 are positioned for a minimum flow rate of outdoor air and there is no mechanical cooling, (i.e. chilled water valve 446 is closed).
- the minimum flow rate of outdoor air is the least amount required for satisfactory ventilation to the supply duct 490. For example, 20% of the air supplied to duct 490 is outdoor air.
- the condition for a transition to state 502 is defined by the heating control signal remaining in the "No Heat Mode.” Such a mode occurs when valve 442 of heating coil 440 remains closed for a defined period of time (i.e. heating of the supply air is not required during that period). This transition condition can result from the outdoor temperature rising to a point at which the air from the supply duct 490 does not need mechanical heating.
- dampers 460, 462, and 464 alone are used to control the supply air temperature in supply duct 490 (i.e. no mechanical heating or cooling).
- the amount of outdoor air that is mixed with the return air from return duct 492 is regulated to heat or cool the air being supplied via supply duct 490.
- the inability to achieve the setpoint temperature results in a transition to either state 501 or 503.
- a transition occurs to state 501 for mechanical heating when either for a defined period of time the flow of outdoor air is less than that required for proper ventilation or outdoor air inlet damper 464 remains in the minimum open position for a given period of time.
- the finite state machine makes a transition from state 502 to state 503 for mechanical cooling upon the damper control remaining in the maximum outdoor air position (e.g. 100% of the air supplied by the AHU is outdoor air) for a period of time.
- chilled water valve 446 for cooling coil 444 is controlled to modulate the flow of chilled water and control the amount of energy removed from the air.
- extremum seeking control is used to modulate dampers 460, 462, and 464 to introduce an optimal amount of outdoor air into AHU 430.
- a transition occurs to state 502 when the mechanical cooling does not occur for the given period of time (i.e. the cooling control is saturated in the no-cooling mode).
- state 501 heating with minimum outdoor air required for ventilation is initiated.
- the initial state of control is a heating with minimum outdoor air state 501.
- the system initiates in state 501 to minimize the potential that cooling coil 444 and heating coil 440 could freeze.
- State 501 controls the supply air temperature by modulating the amount of heat supplied from heating coil 440.
- Dampers 460, 462, and 464 are controlled for minimum ventilation.
- a transition to state 502 occurs after the heating control signal has been at its minimum value (no-heat position) for a fixed period of time.
- state 502 the system is utilizing outdoor air to provide free cooling to the system.
- State 502 controls the supply air temperature by modulating dampers 460, 462, and 464 to adjust the mixing of outdoor air with return air.
- a transition to state 501 occurs after dampers 460, 462, and 464 have been at a minimum ventilation requirement for a fixed period of time or the damper control signal is at a minimum value for a fixed period of time.
- a transition to state 503 occurs after dampers 460, 462, and 464 have been controlled to supply 100% outdoor air for a fixed period of time.
- state 503 the system utilizes mechanical cooling with an extremum seeking control strategy to control dampers 460, 462, and 464.
- State 503 controls the supply air temperature by modulating the flow rate of chilled water or refrigerant through cooling coil 444.
- An extremum seeking control strategy is used to determine the positions of dampers 460, 462, and 464 to minimize the amount of mechanical cooling required.
- An actuator saturation condition may occur using a standard extremum seeking control strategy if the optimum damper opening for a damper corresponds to a physical boundary on the operation of the damper.
- Controller 410 has been adapted to limit the detrimental effects of an actuator saturation condition. Ventilation requirements are set at a lower limit for the amount of outside air in supply duct 490.
- a transition to state 502 occurs after the control signal for cooling has been in the no-cooling command mode for a fixed period of time.

- FIG. 5A a flow diagram is shown of a process 719 for limiting the effects of an actuator saturation condition in an ESC loop, according to an exemplary embodiment.
- extremum seeking control is provided to a plant in step 720.
- step 722 can be achieved by comparing the manipulated variable designated by the extremum seeking control strategy to a range of control signals that correspond to the physical range of actuator positions.
- the extremum seeking controller may contain a memory module that stores information on the physical limits of the actuator.
- the controller can be configured to receive input data from a position sensor that provides data on the position of the actuator to detect an actuator saturation condition. If an actuator saturation condition is detected, the saturation condition is removed and the control loop is updated (step 724).
- the saturation condition can be removed by reducing the control parameters sent to the actuator to those within the range corresponding to the physical limits of operation for the actuator.
- the control system can be turned off for a period of time if an actuator saturation condition is detected. Turning the control system off and on again can have the effect of reinitializing the ESC loop, thereby preventing the integrator from continuing to wind up.
- FIG. 5B is a flow diagram of a process 700 for preventing and/or limiting the effects of an actuator saturation condition of an ESC loop.
- Process 700 is shown to include receiving a measurement from the plant (step 702).
- a plant in control theory is the combination of a process and an actuator.
- the algorithm for the extremum seeking system utilizes a single input measurement from the plant.
- the algorithm may also have a plurality of input measurements.
- measurements may include inputs from temperature sensors, humidity sensors, air flow sensors, damper positioning sensors or may reflect power consumption.
- Process 700 is further shown to include probing for a performance gradient (step 706).
- probing for a performance gradient may entail using a dither signal and demodulation signal in the closed-loop system to determine the performance gradient.
- Process 700 further includes utilizing an integrator to drive the performance gradient to zero (step 708).
- An actuator saturation condition is then detected and the condition is removed (step 710), altering the manipulated variable that is passed to the plant (step 712).
- Process 800 includes the steps characteristic of an extremum seeking controller including: receiving a measurement from the plant (step 702), probing for a performance gradient (step 706), using an integrator to drive the gradient to zero (step 708) and updating the manipulated variable to the plant (step 712). Steps 702, 706, 708 and 712 can be performed in the same manner as outlined for process 700 in FIG. 5B.
- Process 800 further includes calculating the difference between the input and output signals to the actuator (step 812). The difference between the input and output signals to the actuator remains zero unless the actuator is saturated. Process 800 is further shown to pass the resulting difference signal from step 812 into an amplifier (step 814). The amplified difference signal from step 812 is then passed back to step 708 and combined with the output of step 706 to form a new input to the integrator of step 708 (step 816). This prevents the integrator in step 708 from winding up and the extremum system from becoming unable to adapt to changes in the optimum operating condition.

- Temperature sensor 480 (FIG. 8) provides temperature input 450 to controller 410, which compares the measured temperature to the setpoint temperature.
- a temperature regulator command is sent to chilled water valve output 454 to cool the air within the AHU.
- Extremum seeking control strategy 860 can be used to control actuator 850 for damper 852 via actuator command 458.
- feedback from the actuator can be achieved through the use of a physical signal received from a damper position sensor.
- memory 416 can store information on the physical limits for actuator 850 to detect an actuator saturation condition.
- detection of an actuator saturation condition may cause the input to the integrator 98 to be limited (FIG. 8).
- FIG. 10 a flow diagram of a process 1000 for limiting the effects of an actuator saturation condition in an extremum seeking control loop for an AHU is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment.
- process 1000 can be implemented as software stored within the memory of AHU controller 410.
- process 1000 can be implemented as an analog circuit.
- Process 1000 includes the steps characteristic of an extremum seeking control strategy including: receiving a measurement from the temperature regulator control loop (step 1002), probing for a performance gradient (step 1006), using an integrator to drive the gradient to zero (step 1008) and updating the manipulated variable sent to the damper actuator (step 1010).
- Process 1000 further includes calculating the difference between the input and output signals to the actuator (step 1012). The difference between the input and output signals to the actuator remains zero unless the actuator is saturated.
- Process 1000 is further shown to pass the resulting difference signal from step 1012 into an amplifier (step 1014). The amplified difference signal from step 1014 is then passed back to step 1008 and combined with the output of step 1006 to form a new input to step 1008. This prevents the integrator in step 1008 from winding up and the extremum system from becoming unable to adapt to changes in the optimum operating condition.
- FIGS. 1 IA-B alternative extremum seeking control strategies are shown utilizing actuator feedback to minimize the effects of an actuator saturation condition.
- the feedback loops are configured to compute a difference between an actuator input and output, amplify the difference and then feed the amplified signal back into the input to an integrator.
- One skilled in the art would appreciate that the structures and functions listed herein could be implemented via software or as an electronic processing circuit. For example, integration of a signal can be achieved through the use of a microprocessor running software or through an integrator circuit using an op-amp.
- FIG. 1 IA a switching ESC loop 922 configured to limit the effects of an actuator saturation condition is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment.
- Output signal 'z' is modified by output dynamics 906 to produce a return signal 'z" to the extremum seeking controller.
- ESC loop 922 seeks to find a value for 'x' that minimizes the output of performance map 904, thereby also minimizing output signal 'z'.
- output signal 'z' may be represented as the expression:
- f(x) (x - Xopt) + 2 where f(x) represents the performance map and x opt represents the value at which f(x) is minimized.
- the derivative of 'z' is then taken with respect to time at differentiator 908 and used as an input to a flip-flop based control 910 with some hysteresis.
- the flip-flop of circuit 910 is configured such that the change over associated with a negative value of the output derivative causes the flip-flop to change states.
- a J-K flip-flop can be used with the hysteresis output driving the clock of the flip-flop.
- the output of circuit 910 is then integrated by integrator 912 and fed to the actuator of plant 903.
- Saturation block 914 mathematically represents the actuator of plant 903 with an input corresponding to the manipulated variable produced by ESC loop 922 and an output corresponding to the output of the actuator.
- a self-driving ESC loop 924 configured to limit the effects of an actuator saturation condition is shown, according to an exemplary embodiment.
- Self-driving ESCs operate by first determining a gradient signal.
- the gradient signal in a self-driving ESC loop is calculated by dividing the derivative of the input to the performance map with respect to time by the derivative of the output of the system's output characteristics with respect to time.
- An integrator is then used to drive the gradient to zero in order to optimize the closed-loop system.
- self-driving ESC loop 924 has been configured with a feedback loop to limit the effects of an actuator saturation condition.
- ESC loop 924 contains plant 931, mathematically represented as a combination of linear input dynamics 930, nonlinear performance map 932, and linear output dynamics 934. Similar to FIG. 9A, input dynamics 930 receive a manipulated variable from the extremum seeking controller to produce a signal 'x', which is used as an input to performance map 932. ESC loop 924 seeks to produce a value for 'x' which minimizes the output 'z' of performance map 932. The output 'z' of performance map 932 passes through output dynamics 934 to produce return signal 'z", which is measured by the extremum seeking controller. The derivative of signal 'z" with respect to time is taken at differentiator 936 and provided to divider 938.
- the derivative of the manipulated variable sent to plant 931 with respect to time is taken at differentiator 937 and also provided to divider 938.
- Divider 938 produces a gradient signal corresponding to dz'/dx, which is provided as an input to integrator 940 in order to drive the gradient to zero.
- the effects of an actuator saturation condition are limited using a feedback loop.
- saturation block 942 mathematically represents the actuator of plant 931 with an input corresponding to the manipulated variable produced by ESC loop 924 and an output corresponding to the output of the actuator. The difference between the input and output signals for the actuator is calculated at processing element 944.
- the difference signal is then amplified by a gain 946 and combined with the input to integrator 940 at processing element 948 to prevent wind-up in integrator 940.
- the actuator saturation control described in the present application could be applied to many different HVAC setups.
- one or a plurality of dampers may be used to control airflow throughout and/or within the AHU.
- An extremum seeking control strategy can be used to control the one or more dampers to minimize power consumption by the AHU.
- the amount of air utilized to reduce power consumption by the AHU can be regulated by a combination of exhaust damper 460, recirculation air damper 462, and outdoor air inlet damper 464.
- the relationship between the damper openings is such that ESC can be used to optimize the control of any damper, because optimization of one damper opening leads to the optimization of all damper openings.
- one or more dampers may have fixed positions while other damper openings are variable and interrelated.
- the ESC is used to optimize the control of damper 460 to minimize the power consumption of the AHU, while outdoor air inlet damper 464 remains fully open and damper 462 varies based on damper 460.
- ESC can therefore be used to optimize any combination of fixed position dampers and interrelated variable position dampers in an AHU, where ESC is used to control one or more of the variable position dampers.
- ESC can also directly control more than one damper at a time.
- multiple ESC controllers may be used to control a plurality of independent dampers.
- a single ESC controller with multiple inputs can be used to regulate a plurality of independent dampers.
- the dampers in an AHU controlled by the extremum seeking control strategy may include, but are not limited to, outside air inlet dampers, recirculation air dampers, exhaust dampers, or a combination thereof.
