Control of air-conditioning system for load management

The cooling system is one of the major and critical energy consuming loads in any premise. Efficient energy management of this critical load is important to achieve economic operation. Controlling the air conditioning (AC) system allows to reduce the peak consumption, indirectly the electricity bill...
