Title: Energy saving for building heating via a simple and efficient model-free control design: First steps with computer simulations,
Abstract: The model-based control of building heating systems for energy saving
encounters severe physical, mathematical and calibration difficulties in the
numerous attempts that has been published until now. This topic is addressed
here via a new model-free control setting, where the need of any mathematical
description disappears. Several convincing computer simulations are presented.
Comparisons with classic PI controllers and flatness-based predictive control
are provided.
