Abstract

In this study, a pragmatic engineering approach is proposed to assist in addressing the high-power consumption for cooling specifically, peak demand issues in countries with desert climate conditions. In this approach, an improved control scheme for cooling buildings is developed to minimize load peak demand by managing to space cooling demands in a more holistic organized manner rather than being randomly managed. In addition, a mathematical model of a typical house cooling system is developed along with a complex multi-mode logic controller. Finally, The simulation results demonstrate the ability of the proposed control scheme to considerably reduce power peaks while maintaining an adequate level of indoor comfort.
