A Dynamic Water-Filling Method for Real-Time HVAC Load Control Based on Model Predictive Control

Heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system can be viewed as elastic load to provide demand response. Existing work usually used HVAC to do the load following or load shaping based on given control signals or objectives. However, optimal external control signals may not always be available. Without such control signals, how to make a tradeoff between the fluctuation of non-renewable power generation and the limited demand response...
