What is MPCPy?

MPCPy is a Python-based library specifically created to facilitate the testing and implementation of occupant-integrated model predictive control (MPC) in building systems. This innovative tool focuses on utilizing data-driven, simplified physical or statistical models to predict the performance of buildings and improve control methodologies. It consists of four key modules that offer object classes for tasks such as data importation, engagement with either real or simulated systems, estimation and validation of data-driven models, and optimization of control inputs. While MPCPy acts as a comprehensive integration platform, it relies on a variety of free, open-source third-party software for executing models, conducting simulations, implementing parameter estimation techniques, and optimizing solvers. This includes Python libraries for scripting and data manipulation, as well as specialized software solutions designed for specific functions. Importantly, the tasks involving modeling and optimization of physical systems are currently based on the requirements of the Modelica language, which significantly enhances the package's flexibility and capabilities. Overall, MPCPy empowers users to harness sophisticated modeling methods within a dynamic and cooperative environment, ultimately fostering improved building system performance. Furthermore, it opens up opportunities for researchers and practitioners alike to experiment with cutting-edge control strategies tailored to real-world scenarios.

What is COLUMBO?

A universal multivariable optimizer, designed for closed-loop systems, aims to improve the performance and quality of Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems. This optimizer harnesses data from Excel files derived from Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) by Aspen Tech, Robust Model Predictive Control Technology (RMPCT) from Honeywell, or Predict Pro from Emerson, facilitating the development and fine-tuning of precise models for various multivariable-controller variable (MV-CV) pairs. This cutting-edge optimization solution does away with the need for step tests that are usually required by Aspen Tech and Honeywell, functioning entirely in the time domain to maintain user-friendliness, compactness, and efficiency. As Model Predictive Controls (MPC) often involve numerous dynamic models—sometimes tens or even hundreds—there is a significant risk of utilizing incorrect models. Inaccurate dynamic models in MPCs can introduce bias, which appears as model prediction errors, leading to inconsistencies between expected signals and actual sensor measurements. COLUMBO emerges as a robust tool to bolster the precision of Model Predictive Control (MPC) models, effectively leveraging either open-loop or fully closed-loop data to guarantee peak performance. By tackling the risks associated with errors in dynamic models, COLUMBO not only enhances the reliability of the control system but also contributes to a more efficient operational framework. Ultimately, its implementation is expected to yield substantial advancements in control system effectiveness across various applications.
