Abstract
A computer-implemented method of optimizing demand-response (DR) of a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system of a building, includes determining () a value of an objective function Fof a HVAC system for each of a plurality of DR strategies j for each of a plurality of weather patterns i that is a weighted sum of an energy cost of the HVAC system and a thermal comfort loss of the HVAC system, assigning () a likelihood score Lto each of a selected subset of near-optimal DR strategies j for each weather pattern i, and selecting () those near-optimal DR strategies with large overall likelihood scores Lto create an optimal strategy pool of DR strategies. An optimal strategy pool can be searched () in real-time for an optimal DR strategy for a given weather pattern.
