Modeling and identification of multi-stage thermal inertia for reliable MPC in high-inertia water-based HVAC systems

Key Points

• Reliable model predictive control (MPC) shows more efficient operation of water-based HVAC systems.
• Thermal inertia measurement increased system response efficiency in comparison to traditional methods.
• Modeling techniques were applied to understand multi-stage dynamics in HVAC systems for enhanced control.
• This research supports efficient HVAC design, but further validation in diverse environments is necessary.
