| Popis: | Control of Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) aims to provide a comfortable environment for human life in terms of temperature and humidity and improve indoor air quality. The HVAC system is multi-input multi-output, where the control design of this system is challenging due to its strong nonlinearity and the coupled influence of both system controllers on the temperature within the thermal zone. The aim of this study is to design a dual-controller for the HVAC system. The first controller is a non-linear feedback controller which is devoted to control the humidity ratio of the thermal zone with the desired characteristic. While for the second one, a robust controller is designed to maintain the desired thermal zone temperature based on the adaptive sliding mode controller (ASMC). Using the ASMC enabled us to design the second controller without the need to know the uncertainty bound on the HVAC system model. Additionally, the stability of the proposed control system was verified using the Lyapunov theory. To construct the sliding variable for the temperature control, the error state which is the difference between the thermal zoon temperature and the desired value and its derivative is needed. Due to the uncertainty in the error state derivative, a robust differentiator was designed using the approximate classical sliding mode differentiator (ACSMD). Finally, the performance of the control system is confirmed via numerical simulation. The results showed the robust ability of the control system to make the humidity and temperature of the thermal area follow the required values and with high accuracy. |
