Abstract
A predictive apparatus for controlling or regulating supply values (T_VRL) includes a first data store in which rules, based on a linear consumer model, for calculating process values are stored, a second data store in which rules for restrictions or limit values to be observed for process values and for values derived from process values are stored, and further also means for repeatable optimizing of the energy consumption or of the energy costs with the aid of linear or quadratic programming. The apparatus is configured such that the optimizing can be carried out over a sliding time horizon.
Claims20
Predictive apparatus for controlling or regulating supply values, wherein the apparatus is provided with:
- a first data store, in which rules, based on a linear consumer model, for calculating supply values are stored,
- a second data store, in which the rules for restrictions or limit values to be observed for supply values and values derived from process values are stored, and
- means for repeatable optimizing of energy consumption or of energy costs of the supply values with the aid of linear or quadratic programming,
- wherein the means is configured such that the optimizing can be carried out over a sliding time horizon taking into account the rules stored in the first and the second data store.
