The values of chilled water supply temperatures in chillers indicate the load distributions as the chilled water return temperatures in all chillers are the same in a decoupled air-conditioning system. This study employs the Hopfield neural network (HNN) to determine the chilled water supply...

This investigation attempts to solve the optimal chiller loading (OCL) problem by utilizing simulated annealing (SA). SA eliminates the limitation that the Lagrangian method cannot solve OCL because the kW-PLR curves simultaneously include convex functions and non-convex functions. This study...
