TIME-BASED PULLDOWN AND PULLUP USING TRAJECTORY TRACKING AND BOX PARAMETER LEARNING
DRIVE
November 30, 2023
Control systems for time-based pulldown and/or pull-up operation of transport climate control systems include a controller receiving a time for pulldown or pull-up, with the controller modeling the conditioned space and determining a trajectory for efficiently completing the pulldown or pull-up according to the received time. The controller further operates the transport climate control system according to the determined trajectory. The controller can receive information from the conditioned space and adjust operations in order to bring the pulldown or pull-up closer to the determined trajectory. The model can be a dynamic model of the specific conditioned space in which the pulldown or pull-up is being performed. The controller can further determine when a pulldown or pull-up will be completed and provide notifications based on whether the pulldown or pull-up can be completed by a particular time. The model can be updated based on system dynamics observed during pulldown or pull-up.
