Abstract
Optimization-based energy management systems (EMS) are a high-level control approach for energy systems like district heating networks. A descriptive model and objective function are required to solve an optimization problem and apply the resulting schedule in a receding horizon fashion. EMS for buildings require a simplified model of each thermal zone, and the objective function includes costs for heating and cooling, virtual costs, and a comfort model. Feedback from users is necessary since thermal comfort varies among individuals.
