The paper deals with an identification (calibration) of a building thermal model as a crucial part of modern control algorithms. It describes a modelling issue and parameter identification approach. There is presented an identification approach using a so called dual decomposition method which decomposes a large optimization problem into smaller lo...

One-pipe hydronic heating systems in their active (decentralized pumping) form promise great benefits over traditional two-pipe variable volume systems, and even more so over variable air volume systems. The heat exchanger units are connected in series, which presents its challenges and opportunities. This paper presents a model predictive controll...

The article addresses the identification of thermodynamic models of buildings, serving the needs of control algorithms. It describes the issue of their modelling and approaches to identification of their parameters. It presents an approach to identification of a model with use of decomposition of the overall problem to partial, smaller, local sub-p...

The paper deals with the issue of the irradiation prediction. It describes the current state of forecasting services and their use with regard to photovoltaic systems. It presents the basic methods for evaluation of the irradiation prediction accuracy. It also presents the results of these methods for five forecasting data sources during the whole...
