Abstract
The objective of this study is to improve the control performance of Ondol system which causes overheating and underheating with 2-position on/off control. For this, a predictive control that determines the suitable on/off positions using Artificial Neural Network(ANN) model was proposed Dynamic analyses using computer simulation show that the neural network used in the predictive control is adapted to each room whose loads variation and thermal characteristics are different. To examine the applicability of this predictive control with ANN it was compared with 2-position on/off control through experiments.
