Abstract
A computer implemented method optimizes a utility plant having multiple devices to convert input energy into output energy for a building. The method includes dividing a utility plant scheduling interval into several control intervals and for each control interval, obtaining a difference between a desired and a measured in-building condition controlled by output power from the utility plant, obtaining current values of multiple factors that influence operation of the utility plant, determining a new power demand of the building expected to decrease the difference, and finding set points for the multiple devices that satisfy the new power demand, take into account response times of the devices and their capacities, and optimize utility plant operation costs.
