A system and a method for controlling an operation of a vapor compression system are disclosed, such that a performance of the system measured in accordance with a metric of the performance is optimized. A control signal is modified with a modification signal including a perturbation signal having a first frequency, wherein the control signal controls at least one component of the vapor compression system. A metric signal representing a perturbation in the performance of the system caused by the modification signal is determined, wherein the metric signal has a second frequency substantially equal to the first frequency. The control signal is adjusted based on a function of a phase between the perturbation signal and the metric signal, such that the performance is optimized.
A method for controlling an operation of a vapor compression system, such that a performance of the system measured in accordance with a metric of the performance is optimized, comprising the steps of:
A method for controlling an operation of a vapor compression system, such that a performance of the system measured in accordance with a metric of the performance is optimized, wherein at least one component of the system is controlled based on a control signal, comprising the steps of:
An optimization controller for optimizing a performance of a vapor compression system measured in accordance with an metric of performance, comprising:
