Abstract

This paper proposes a building energy management framework, described by mixed logical dynamical systems due to operating constraints and logic rules, together with an aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) model. We develop a deterministic model predictive control strategy to meet building thermal energy demand. At each sampling a mixed integer quadratic optimization problem is formulated. We then provide a simulation study using an agent-based model and a geohydrological simulation environment (MODFLOW) to illustrate the performance of the framework.
