  1. Occupancy Driven Supervisory Control to Minimise Energy Use in Airport Terminal Abdulhameed Mambo Dr Mahroo Eftekhari & Dr Steffen Thomas Loughborough University UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase

  2. Introduction • About 200 million passengers transit UK airports every year resulting in huge demands for energy • Airports are among the greatest energy consuming buildings – huge opportunity for savings • Airport environment systems are run on full schedules and setpoints are not varied according to external conditions and passenger flow • This research developed a supervisory controller which ensures comfort setpoints availability during occupancy and setback in other times for passenger-only airport spaces.

  3. MATLAB/SIMULINK DESIGNBUILDER Contents Fuzzy Supervisory Controller Controller Inputs Airport Terminal Building & HVAC Model Optimised Set points Model Inputs Simulation Results • Background and motivation for research • Airport environment systems are operated on full schedules – this study shows great opportunity for setback to reduce operating cost and energy use • There are many studies on indoor environment control of other building types but very few studies on airport building indoor environment and about none on control systems • Research methodology • Current status • Fuzzy Supervisory Controller has been designed and using a dynamic airport building model, the controller is being tested • The reports of simulation studies testing the integrity of the controller and showing benefits in terms of energy savings is being compiled.

  5. Conclusion • Although Airports are among the greatest energy guzzlers but terminal buildings have great potentials for energy savings • This Fuzzy Supervisory control mimics airport building operator by varying setpoints in accordance to passenger flow and external conditions. • Early simulation results shows that up to 50% energy savings is possible using this control system • The controller is still being tested through offline simulation UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase
