A comparison of nonlinear autoregression with exogenous inputs (NARX) neural network and back-propagation (BP) neural network in short-term prediction of building cooling load is presented in this dissertation. Both predictive models have been applied in a group of commercial buildings and analysis of prediction errors has been highlighted. Training and testing data for both prediction models have been generated from DeST (Designers Simulation Toolkits) with climate data of Shanghai. The simulation results indicate that NARX method can achieve better accuracy and generalization ability than traditional method of BP neural network. This work provides a key support in smooth and optimizing control in air-conditioning system.

The electrical load prediction during an interval of a week or a day plays an important role for scheduling and controlling operations of any power system. The techniques which are presently being used and are used for Short Term Load Forecasting (STLF) by utilizing various prediction models try for the performance improvement. The prediction models and their performance mainly depend upon the training data and its quality. The different forecasting approaches using Support Vector Machine (SVM) depending on several performance indices has been discussed. The accuracy of the forecasting approaches is measured by Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), prediction speed and training time. The approach with least RMSE reveals as the best among the SVM methods for short term load forecasting.

An attempt was made to develop an improved autoregressive with exogenous (ARX) model for office buildings cooling load prediction in five major climates of China. The cooling load prediction methods can be arranged into three categories: regression analysis, energy simulation, and artificial intelligence. Among them, the regression analysis methods using regression models are much simple and practical for real applications. However, traditional regression models are often helpless to manage multiparameter dynamic changes, making it not accurate as the other two categories. Many of the existing cooling load prediction studies use piecewise linearization to manage nonlinearity. To improve the prediction accuracy of regression analysis methods, higher order and interaction terms are included in improved ARX based on traditional ARX model. The improved ARX model consists of eight variables, with eleven coefficients accessed at a time. For applications and evaluations, an office building in major cities within each climatic zone was selected as a representation. These cities were Harbin, Beijing, Nanjing, Kunming and Guangzhou respectively. The coefficient of determination R2 is greater than 0.9 in five cities. The prediction results show that the improved ARX model can adapt to different climatic conditions, including those nonlinearity cases.
