Central plant control system with asset allocation override

A method of operating building equipment, the method comprising:

• providing an override constraint based on a user input;
• determining values for a plurality of decision variables indicating an optimal amount of each resource to purchase from sources and to be consumed by the building equipment subject to the override constraint, wherein the override constraint defines one or more of the values for a subset of the plurality of decision variables and a remainder of the values for a remainder of the plurality of decision variables are determined using the override constraint;
• and
• controlling the building equipment to consume the optimal amount of at least one resource.

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 obtained from a respective source 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 obtained from the respective source;
• 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 obtained from the respective source 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 using the override constraint;
• and
• control the building equipment in accordance with the result of the first optimization or the result of the second optimization.
