Study of temperature control using cyber-physical system approach in home environment

Abstract

Technology advances allow us to design smart home system for the purpose of achieving high demand on occupants' comfort. In this research, we focus on building a thermal comfort controller for the existing hybrid temperature control (HTC) system, which is based on the cyber-physical system (CPS) approach. By using air-conditioner, window and curtain, our proposed controller can acquire the desired temperature while achieving high energy efficiency. We evaluate and verify our proposed controller in the cyber-physical home system environment by using MATLAB/Simulink tool and the raw data gathered from actual measurements.
