DAISY Lab just won two public research projects in collaboration with Fantini Cosmi S.p.A. and Stema s.r.l.! Works will start soon, new theses topics are available

A paper accepted for CASE-2020: "Predictive control-oriented models of a domestic air-to-water heat pump under variable conditions" (Luca Ferrarini, Soroush Rastegarpour, Lorenzo Caseri)

A paper accepted for ETFA-2020: "Digital Techniques for Energy Optimization in a University Building" (Luca Ferrarini, Riccardo Babini)

New collaboration with Stema s.r.l., leader in the automated manufacturing field and furniture production lines.

The first smart MPC controller developed by DAISY lab has been installed in a fire-tube boilers in a corrugated board plant in the North of Italy.

DAISY-eSmartCity workshop event confirmed! 12 February, Building 25 (Room D21) starting at 9:30AM. Two major companies on building automation - Teicos srl and Deleo srl - are joining the presentation. Open participation.

A paper in the title of "Predictive control-oriented models of a domestic air-to-water heat pump under variable conditions" (Luca Ferrarini, Soroush Rastegarpour, Lorenzo Caseri) has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L).

Paper accepted! Le Anh Dao, Alireza Dehghani Pilehvarani, Luca Ferrarini and Achilleas Markou, "A Hierarchical Distributed Predictive Control Approach for Microgrids Energy Management", Journal of Sustainable Cities and Society (Elsevier), 2019. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2019.101536.

Two papers accepted for IFAC World Congress: "Economic NMPC for Multiple Buildings Connected to a Heat Pump and Thermal and Electrical Storages" (Soroush Rastegarpour, Luca Ferrarini, Sebastien Gros) "Improving Solar and PV Power Prediction with Ensemble Methods" (Le Anh Dao, Luca Ferrarini, Dario La Carruba)

Within the framework of EsmartCity project (https://esmartcity.interreg-med.eu/), DAISY lab has installed new IoT sensors in Building 25 of Polimi! The sensors are Envisense by CogniMade

Within the framework of ESMARTCITY project, the DAISY lab organized a visit to Copenhagen to strengthen the cooperation with Europen level institutions. In particular, the visit was to: • EnergyLab Nordavn: http://www.energylabnordhavn.com/ • Doll Living Labs: https://doll-livinglab.com/ • The collective project in the Svalin Community: https://the-energy-collective-project.com/ • PowerLab in Danish Technical University, http://www.powerlab.dk/

Two papers has been accepted on nonlinear predictive control of temperature in buildings with heat pumps and radiant floors: S. Rastegarpour, S. Gros, L. Ferrarini, " MPC approaches for modulating air-to-water heat pumps in radiant-floor buildings ", IFAC Journal, Control Engineering Practice, 2019. S. Rastegarpour, L. Ferrarini, F. Palaiogiannis, "A Distributed Predictive Control of Energy Resources in Radiant Floor Buildings", Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement and Control (ASME), 2019, doi:10.1115/1.4043935.f
