T1  - Mixed-integer NMPC for real-time supervisory energy management control in residential buildings
JF  - Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics
N2  - In recent years, building energy supply and distribution systems have become more complex, with an increasing number of energy generators, stores, flows, and possible combinations of operating modes. This poses challenges for supervisory control, especially when balancing the conflicting goals of maximizing comfort while minimizing costs and emissions to contribute to global climate protection objectives. Mixed-integer nonlinear model predictive control is a promising approach for intelligent real-time control that is able to properly address the specific characteristics and restrictions of building energy systems. We present a strategy that utilizes a decomposition approach, combining partial outer convexification with the Switch-Cost Aware Rounding procedure to handle switching behavior and operating time constraints of building components in real-time. The efficacy is demonstrated through practical applications in a single-family home with a combined heat and power unit and in a multi-family apartment complex with 18 residential units. Simulation studies show high correspondence to globally optimal solutions with significant cost savings potential of around 19%.
