Sensor and actuator degradation occurs frequently in office buildings. These can have a large impact on HVAC performance, both on energy use and thermal (dis)comfort. The degree of impact depends on the faulty component(s), fault type(s) and fault severity and has a significant non-linear relation with the control strategy and comfort constraints. Concrete core activated (CCA) office buildings typically have a high thermal inertia, high comfort requirements and they are equipped with low exergy and low capacity production systems. This allows the inclusion of renewables, thermal storage and flexible load shifting, but this also augments the effects of small perturbations in control output.In this paper, the economic fault impact is investigated by dynamic simulations using an emulator model of a CCA office building in combination with four different control strategies. A virtual test-bed is developed, consisting of two emulated office zones and a temperature modulated Concrete Core activation HVAC system, augmented with persistent faults in temperature sensor and hydronic flow rate actuators. Both the fault free (FF) performance and the fault present (FP) performance are investigated and compared through the relevant, control-associated costs using an economic framework. This methodology is able to determine the fault sensitivity of different supervisory control strategies and assists with the selection of the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
