Abstract
Ice storage air-conditioning system can bring benefits to power supplier and consumers for its advantage of shifting power consumption at peak hours during day to the off-peak hours at night. In this paper, we adopted an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm to develop an optimal control strategy for ice storage air-conditioning system with the aim of minimizing operation cost subject to various operational constrains. Comparing with the usual chiller-priority and ice-storage-priority control strategy, the proposed control scheme can not only meet the building cooling load but also achieve the minimum operation cost.
