Model Predictive Control as a key enabler for automated demand response at buildings
FEDECOM will develop a Model Predictive Control (MPC) that can automatically generate demand response actions at building. MPC is a cutting-edge technique that can be applied for the energy management of buildings. MPC uses a predictive model of the building and takes into account weather forecasts, internal heat gains (such as those caused by occupancy and lighting) and real measurements of the building to decide how the building should be operated.
