This paper presents a method for controlling and operating a multi-chillers system: (1) Model-based control approach was used by MATLAB/SIMULINK to model a building containing two non-identical chillers depending on thermal loads. (2) ON/OFF all chillers alternately using the model reinforcement learning controller (RL-control) to select the appropriate chiller for the building conditioning process. The results were in terms of energy efficiency and performance of the enhanced learning control for the chiller, and a control unit signal (PID) was applied to make a comparison with the signals of energy, power, and temperatures. After comparison, it was found that the energy saving through the proposed controller is 45% of the traditional (PID) strategy, where can the proposed strategy control for the chiller appropriate for the building's conditioning process.

“…In developed countries, the residential building consumes 48% of the total energy generated in such countries, and most of this energy is consumed by heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems [5,6]. It is well known that chiller plants consume more than half of the total energy used in the HVAC system [7]. The highest coefficient of performance (COP) of chillers occurs at a full load, whereas the cooling load of the building changes hourly from time to time, so the single chiller system needs to operate at part load with a reduced COP for most of the time [8].…”
