This book describes new energy
service controls of VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) air-conditioners, i.e.,
distributed-type air-conditioners for commercial buildings in the near future,
in the context of the spread of renewable energy and the reform of the electric
power system. In other words, this book introduces the state-of-the-art
technology of the next-generation distributed building air-conditioning energy
service system, from IoT cloud control to AI optimal control, as well as
standards for the smart grid supply and demand adjustment market, in an
easy-to-understand manner. The book covers all the cutting-edge technologies of
next-generation distributed building air-conditioning energy service systems.
Each air-conditioner
manufacturer provides information in their catalogs and technical documents,
but the information is limited to old and simple control contents such as
conventional routine operation and shutdown and temperature setting. There has
been a strong need for a technical book on state-of-the-art energy service
control for VRF air-conditioners with full use of IoT and AI in the near
future.
