This study considers the optimal control of dry bulb temperature and moisture content in a single zone, to be accomplished in such a way as to be implementable in any zone of a multi-zone system. Optimality is determined in terms of appropriate cost and performance functions and subject to practical limits using the maximum principle. Several candidate optimal control strategies are investigated. It is shown that a bang-bang switching control which is theoretically periodic is a least cost practical control. In addition, specific attributes of this class of problem are explored.

This project aims to study the optimal control model of the ice-storage system which is theoretically close to the optimal control and also applicable to actual engineering. Using Energy Plus, the energy consumption simulation software, and the simple solution method of optimal control, researchers can analyze and compare the annual operation costs of the ice-storage air-conditioning system of a project in Beijing under different control strategies. Researchers obtained the power rates of the air-conditioning system in the office building under the conditions of chiller-priority and optimal contro1 throughout the cooling season. Through analysis and comparison, they find that after the implementation of optimal control, the annually saved power bills mainly result from non-design conditions, especially in the transitional seasons.

When a sailing ship which has large rigid wing sails such as the Wind Challenger Sail runs in a sufficiently windy sea, the thrust by sails is utilized to not only drive the ship at the proper speed but also to rotate an underwater turbine at significant speed and torque. The turbine generates electricity which is used for the electrolysis of water to generate hydrogen. The hydrogen is stored using toluene in the form of methylcyclohexane (MCH), which is in liquid form under normal temperature and pressure. MCH is stored in the ship's tank as hydrogen fuel. In the case of weak winds when the sails cannot generate sufficient thrust, using the hydrogen generated by the dehydrogenation device, the fuel cell works and supplies electricity to the electric motor propeller for the ship's propulsion. Thus, the ship can run at a constant speed regardless of wind speed and direction.
