Conference PaperIdentification of Network Dynamics and Disturbance for a Multi-zone BuildingZeng, Tingting; Barooah, PrabirWe propose a method that simultaneously identifies a sparse transfer matrix and disturbance for a multi-zone building’s dynamics from input-output measurements. An l1 -regularized least-squares optimization problem is solved to obtain a sparse solution, so that only dominant interactions among zones are retained in the model. The disturbance is assumed to be piecewise-constant: the assumption aids identification and is motivated by the nature of occupancy that determines the disturbance. Application of our method on data from a simulation model shows promising results.2018-12-01100768312nd {IFAC} Conference on Cyber-Physical and Human Systemshttps://doi.org/1463316National Science Foundation
