Central plant control system with asset allocation override

A method for operating building equipment to produce or consume one or more resources for a building or campus, the method comprising:

• receiving a user input specifying an override amount of a first resource to be produced or consumed by a first subset of the building equipment;
• generating an override constraint based on the user input;
• performing an optimization of an objective function subject to the override constraint to determine values for a plurality of decision variables indicating amounts of one or more resources, including the first resource, to be produced or consumed by the building equipment, wherein the override constraint defines one or more of the values for a subset of the plurality of decision variables and the optimization determines a remainder of the values for a remainder of the plurality of decision variables;
• and
• controlling the building equipment to produce or consume the amounts of the one or more resources determined by performing the optimization subject to the override constraint.

A controller for building equipment that operate to produce or consume one or more resources for a building or campus, the controller comprising a processing circuit configured to:

• perform a first optimization of an objective function to determine first values for a plurality of decision variables indicating first amounts of one or more resources to be produced or consumed by the building equipment as a result of the first optimization;
• receive a user input specifying an override amount of a first resource of the one or more resources to be produced or consumed by a first subset of the building equipment;
• perform a second optimization of the objective function, subject to an override constraint based on the user input, to determine second values for the plurality of decision variables indicating second amounts of the one or more resources to be produced or consumed by the building equipment as a result of the second optimization, wherein the override constraint defines one or more of the second values for a subset of the plurality of decision variables and the second optimization determines a remainder of the second values for a remainder of the plurality of decision variables;
• and
• control the building equipment in accordance with the result of the first optimization or the result of the second optimization.
