    Control in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) systems of buildings is not trivial, and its design is considered challenging due to the complexity in the analysis of the dynamics of its nonlinear characteristics for the identification of its mathematical model. HVAC systems are complex since they consist of several elements, such as heat pumps, chillers, valves, heating/cooling coils, boilers, air-handling units, fans, liquid/air distribution systems, and thermal storage systems. This article proposes the application of LAMDA (learning algorithm for multivariable data analysis) for advanced control in HVAC systems for buildings. LAMDA addresses the control problem using a fuzzy classification approach without requiring a mathematical model of the plant/system. The method determines the degree of adequacy of a system for every class and subsequently determines its similarity degree, and it is used to identify the functional state or class of the system. Then, based on a novel inference method that has been added to LAMDA, a control action is computed that brings the system to a zero-error state. The LAMDA controller performance is analyzed via evaluation on a regulation problem of an HVAC system of a building, and it is compared with other similar approaches. According to the results, our method performs impressively in these systems, thereby leading to a trustable model for the implementation of improved building management systems. The LAMDA control performs very well for disturbances by proposing control actions that are not abrupt, and it outperforms the compared approaches. © 2013 IEEE.

    Modeling and control of nonlinear systems using an Adaptive LAMDA approach
    (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) Morales L.; Aguilar J.; Rosales A.; Chávez D.; Leica P.; Morales L.; Aguilar J.; Rosales A.; Chávez D.; Leica P.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones
    This paper presents a soft computing technique for modeling and control of nonlinear systems using the online learning criteria. In order to obtain an accurate modeling, and therefore a controller with good performance, a method based on the fundamentals of the artificial intelligence algorithm, called LAMDA (Learning Algorithm for Multivariate Data Analysis), is proposed, with a modification of its structure and learning method that allows the creation of an adaptive approach. The novelty of this proposal is that for the first time LAMDA is used for fuzzy modeling and control of complex systems, which is a great advantage if the mathematical model is not available, partially known, or variable. The adaptive LAMDA consists of a training stage to establish initial parameters for the controller, and the application stage in which the control strategy is computed and updated using an online learning that evaluates the closed-loop system. We validate the method in several control tasks: (1) Regulation of mixing tank with variable dead-time (slow variable dynamics), (2) Regulation of a Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system (multivariable slow nonlinear dynamics), and (3) trajectory tracking of a mobile robot (multivariable fast nonlinear dynamics). The results of these experiments are analyzed and compared with other soft computing control techniques, demonstrating that the proposed method is able to perform an accurate control through the proposed learning technique. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
