Application of Model Transformation for Optimized Building Energy Management

This paper describes an approach aiming to automatically transform a model describing a high level physical behavior model into two different optimized building energy management application models. The first step consists in building a hinge model composed of element models. Then based on MDE approach, this model is projected, according to transformation processes, to application models. This paper presents core specifications of manipulation and transformation of hinge model. To illustrate this approach, an example of transformation into both an acausal anticipative model based on mixed integer linear programming problem and a non-linear causal model for fast simulated annealing optimization are shown. These models are used for energy management of a smart building platform named PREDIS/MHI.
