Objectives: - Discuss Final Project Deliverables - Control

The document discusses control systems for a final project. It begins by outlining the project deliverables, including a report and presentation. It then covers control system terminology like sensors, controllers, control devices, set points and errors. It describes different types of control systems including two-position, modulating, proportional, PI, and PID control. It notes that PI control is commonly used in HVAC systems. Issues with control systems in the real world are also briefly discussed.

Example of SEQUENCE OF OERATIONS:
If TOA < Tset-point open the fresh air damper the maximum position
Then, if Tindoor air < Tset-point start closing the cooling coil valve
If cooling coil valve is closed and T indoor air < Tset-point start closing the
damper
till you get T indoor air = T set-point
Other variations are possible

Basic purpose of HVAC control


Daily, weekly, and seasonal swings make HVAC control
challenging
Highly unsteady-state environment
Provide balance of reasonable comfort at minimum cost and
energy
Two distinct actions:
1) Switching/Enabling: Manage availability of
plant according to schedule using timers.
2) Regulation: Match plant capacity to demand

Two-Position Control Systems


Used in small, relatively simple systems
Controlled device is on or off
It is a switch, not a valve

Good for devices that change slowly

Anticipator can be used to shorten response time


Control differential is also called deadband

Residential system - thermostat


~50 years old

DDC thermostat

Modulating Control Systems


Example: Heat exchanger control
Modulating (Analog) control

Cooling coil
air

water

(set point temperature)

Modulating Control Systems


Used in larger systems
Output can be anywhere in operating range
Three main types
Proportional
PI
PID

Electric (pneumatic) motor


Position (x)
fluid

Volume flow rate


Vfluid = f(x) - linear or exponential function

The PIDconstants
control algorithm
time

e(t) difference between


set point and
measured value
Position (x)

Proportional

Integral

Differential

For our example of heating coil:


x K (Tset point

d (Tset point Tmeasured )


K
Tmeasured ) (Tset point Tmeasured )d K Td
Ti
d

Proportional
(how much)
Position of the valve

Integral
(for how long)

Differential
(how fast)

Proportional Controllers
x A K (Tset point Tmeasured )
x is controller output
A is controller output with no error
(often A=0)
Kis proportional gain constant
e = Tset point Tmeasured is error (offset)

Unstable system

Stable system

Issues with P Controllers


Always have an offset
But, require less tuning than other
controllers
Very appropriate for things that change
slowly
i.e. building internal temperature

Proportional + Integral (PI)


x A K (Tset point

K
Tmeasured ) (Tset point Tmeasured )d
Ti

K/Ti is integral gain

If controller is tuned
properly, offset is
reduced to zero

Figure 2-18a

Issues with PI Controllers


Scheduling issues
Require more tuning than for P
But, no offset

Proportional + Integral +
Derivative (PID)
Improvement over PI because of faster response
and less deviation from offset
Increases rate of error correction as errors get larger

But
HVAC controlled devices are too slow responding
Requires setting three different gains

25% energy savings from correcting control
