Patent abstract
Systems and methods for controlling a central plant for a building are provided. The central plant has a plant load. An optimal combination of plant equipment for meeting the plant load is estimated. Estimating the optimal combination of plant equipment includes using binary optimization to determine at least two potential combinations of plant equipment. Estimating the optimal combination of plant equipment also includes using nonlinear optimization to determine a potential power consumption minimum for each of the at least two potential combinations. The central plant is controlled according to the estimated optimal combination of plant equipment.
