Energy efficiency control of direct expansion air conditioning systems

“…The lower layer is formed as a closed-loop MPC to track the trajectory reference points calculated by the optimization layer. This AHC strategy means the upper controller can adaptively and automatically set the setpoints and the lower layer adaptively and optimally tracks them, minimizing energy consumption and costs. …”
