A Distributed Optimization Method for Energy Saving of Parallel-Connected Pumps in HVAC Systems

Motivated by the importance and challenges of the energy saving problem of parallel-connected pumps in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, we propose a distributed optimal control algorithm for on-off status and flow rate set points of parallel-connected pumps in HVAC systems....
