Objective

The objectives of the project are the development of new smart controllers for systems using electricity in which inertia plays a major role.
Two prototypes, for two specific applications will be developed:
1. A fuzzy optimiser prototype << P1 >>, designed for an efficient management of energy and comfort in buildings with an intermittent occupancy.
2. A fuzzy optimiser prototype << P2 >>, adapted to buildings equipped with cool storage.
The technical approach is both theoretical and experimental. It is structured around the
following tasks:
1. Characterisation of on-site performance of high inertia buildings and systems with cool storage
2. Development of algorithms based on fuzzy logic
3. Realisation of mock-up - test of the control strategies
4. Construction of prototypes
5. Evaluation of the prototypes' performances.
6. Exploitation of the results for system controls
7. Exploitation of the results for cool storage systems
The major innovations of this project are:
- the development of smart controllers for an efficient dynamic control of inertial systems,
- the use a fuzzy logic approach, what is today an efficient tool to solve multi-input control problems,
- the use of DSM signals for a real impact on grid demand diversity,
The new controllers will allow:
- a more rational use of energy and a reduction of polluting emissions + reduction of the energy consumption + improvement of the balance. of the grid + slow down the need for additional peak generation + improvement of the overall system efficiency
- the improvement of comfort in buildings
- design assistance and technological improvement of thermal systems
