  • Abstract:
    In this paper, a digital twin air handling unit system was proposed by building a real-time monitoring system for the air handling unit, using TRNSYS to build a digital model of the air handling unit, to achieve the goal of the lowest energy consumption of the system through the intelligent control strategy with the linkage control algorithm between air handling unit’s fan-pump and room cooling load. The performance of this digital twin system was evaluated through practical cases to show that: compared with the traditional fixed air volume and fixed water volume, the energy consumption using the variable air volume air conditioning system by the optimal control strategy saves 56% of the energy in summer under high cooling load conditions (100% of the peak load) and 69% under medium cooling load conditions (75% of the peak load). © 2023 IBPSA.All rights reserved.
