Our research is to develop a Python-based dynamic optimization platform that can perform continuous optimization for various control settings of chilled water plants. By using the Modelica modeling language, we can quickly model a chilled water plant with any system configurations and dynamically simulate its control behavior.</p> <h2>Collaborators</h2> <p>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lbl.gov/" rel="nofollow">Lawrence Berkeley&nbsp;National Laboratory</a></p> <h2><strong>Publications</strong>:</h2> <h4><strong>Journal articles:</strong></h4> <ul> <li>S.
