Abstract
A system generates optimal global set points for an environmental management system. The system comprises a system model for modeling components of a thermal plant, an objective function for modeling a parameter of the thermal plant, and an optimization engine for optimizing the parameter modeled by the objective function. The system model is coupled to an input data collector for receiving building data and weather data corresponding to a particular site. The system model includes models for thermal plant system components that may be implemented using classical models or artificial intelligence models. Classical models are those models that are implemented using linear programming, unconstrained non-linear programming, or constrained non-linear programming methodologies. The artificial intelligence models are those models that may be implemented using a fuzzy expert control system with crisp and fuzzy rules, genetic algorithms for optimization, or neural networks.
