Abstract
The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques for controlling a hybrid space-conditioning system (HSCS) that comprises a two-phase fluid circuit and an energy-exchange resource connected in parallel to the two-phase fluid circuit. During operation, a computing mechanism tracks operating characteristics for the system. The computing mechanism receives a temperature forecast and uses tracked characteristics and forecasts to predict watt usage for a subsequent time interval and a beneficial time interval during which the two-phase fluid circuit will operate with high efficiency. The computing mechanism charges the energy-exchange resource during the beneficial time interval, and then reduces the watt usage of the HSCS by leveraging the charged energy-exchange resource during a time interval in which the two-phase fluid circuit is predicted to operate inefficiently.
