Abstract

This paper presents the MPC (Model Predictive Control) method based on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), aiming to optimize the temperature control of the data center. The paper establishes the three-dimensional physical model of the data center according to the boundary conditions, gets the unit step function response of the input and output temperature by the steady and unsteady simulation solution, then gets the mathematical model of data center temperature by system identification. The MPC simulation experiment is carried out, compared with the traditional PID control, resulting in that MPC has better control quality and has great application values on the temperature control of the data center.
