Energy Analysis for Air Conditioning System Using Fuzzy Logic Controller
Abstract: Reducing energy consumption and to ensure
thermal comfort are two important considerations for the designing an air
conditioning system. An alternative approach to reduce energy consumption
proposed in this study is to use a variable speed compressor. The control
strategy will be proposed using the fuzzy logic controller (FLC). FLC was
developed to imitate the performance of human expert operators by encoding
their knowledge in the form of linguistic rules. The system is installed on a
thermal environmental room with a data acquisition system to monitor the
temperature of the room, coefficient of performance (COP), energy consumption
and energy saving. The measurements taken during the two hour experimental
periods at 5-minutes interval times for temperature setpoints of 20oC, 22oC and
24oC with internal heat loads 0, 500, 700 and 1000 W. The experimental results
indicate that the proposed technique can save energy in comparison with On/Off
and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control.
