Design and Development of Cascade Heating Control for a «Smart» Residential Housing

The article discusses the issues of modeling and control of heating systems in a residential building. The results of the analysis, selection of parameters of the cascade control system are presented. An algorithm is presented that implements the operation of a virtual object. The modeling of typical life support structures in the CX-Programmer environment is carried out. A virtual object control program has been developed in the language of ladder diagrams (relay-contact circuits). The multi-circuit management of residential building infrastructure facilities in the light of the requirements of Smart City has been proposed. The selection and justification of the method of controlling the heating system with cascade temperature control is considered. A heating system stand has been created to test the proposed automation systems. The description of the hydraulic, electrical and software parts of the stand. To control the operation of the stand, a controller is proposed, implemented on the Arduino platform. The results confirming the attainability of the proposed structural changes. The results of experimental studies are presented.
