REHVA invites you to join (live or online) the free hybridGEOTABS project workshop on Model Predictive Control, on Wednesday 17 October in Prague (08:30-18:00 CEST).
hybridGEOTABS is an active research project to optimise the predesign and operation of a hybrid combination of geothermal heat pumps (GEO-HP) and thermally activated building systems (TABS). The project team is also designing an improved, automated ‘Model Predictive Control’ (MPC) solution for testing on hybrid supply and emission systems in demonstration buildings such as offices, elderly care homes, schools and apartment blocks. Applying MPC to hybridGEOTABS optimises the performance and efficiency, making it more economically attractive and increasing take up.
In this workshop, hosted by Energoklastr, hydridGEOTABS experts will share insights on MPC strategies presenting both practical and technical aspects of their implementation. The day is concluded with a guided tour of the demonstration school building in Libeznice.
