Building and automotive energy systems account for 57% of total energy use by consumers in Canada, while causing 36% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions in Canada. The goal of this program is to develop new control methods to minimize energy consumption and GHG emissions from building and automotive energy systems. The short term objective of this program is to create a unified modeling and control theory for energy systems based on an ordered metric, “exergy,” i.e., the maximum theoretically available energy that can do work. This program will create a new paradigm for exergy-wise control through a novel theory based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Exergy Flow Controls, and Feedback Control Stability. The PI's recent results show exergy-wise control of Mechanical-Thermal-Chemical (MTC) energy systems provides opportunity for significant (7-36%) energy savings. Building upon the PI's results, the proposed research approach will include fundamental multi-physics exergy destruction modeling, exergy surface shaping, and thermodynamic flow control. The research program will center on MTC energy systems; applications of the theory will be demonstrated for internal combustion engines (ICEs) and building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that cause over 46% of total energy use by consumers in Canada.***The long term goal is to extend the unified modeling and control theory framework from this program to include broad Mechanical-Thermal-Chemical & Electrical (MTCE) energy systems (e.g., hybrid electric vehicles) and connected MTCE energy systems (e.g., buildings-to-power grid systems). ******This program will train 11 Doctoral, Master of Science (MSc), and Bachelor of Science (BSc) students for developing unique skills to minimize energy consumption of MTC systems by using novel and powerful techniques of exergy-wise controls. The resulting knowledge from this program will be transferred to the relevant industry through planned industry short courses. In addition, new courses will be developed that will become available on-line for public use and outreach to the global research community.******Intellectual Merit: There is a significant knowledge gap between the controls research community and the thermodynamic research community that must be filled to enable exergy-wise control methods for energy systems. This research program aims to fill this knowledge gap.******Broader Impacts: The new exergy-wise control theory will be applicable to all mechanical-thermal-chemical systems. In particular, the application of the theory to ICEs in this program is anticipated to make a major contribution to the development of fuel-efficient ICEs that are widely used in automotive, power generation, oil & gas, marine, and rail industries. The second direct impact area includes energy saving for commercial & residential buildings HVAC systems that cause over 16% of the total energy use by consumers in Canada. **

建筑和汽车能源系统占加拿大消费者总能源使用的57％，同时在加拿大造成36％的温室气体（GHG）排放。该计划的目的是开发新的控制方法，以最大程度地减少建筑物和汽车能源系统的能源消耗和温室气体排放。该计划的短期目标是基于有序的指标“ Exergy”，即可以起作用的最大理论可用性能量，为能量系统创建统一的建模和控制理论。该程序将通过基于热力学，自我流量控制和反馈控制稳定性的第二定律来创建一个新的范式来进行锻炼控制。 PI的最新结果表明，机械热化学（MTC）能源系统的运动控制为大量（7-36％）节省的能源系统提供了机会。在PI的结果的基础上，拟议的研究方法将包括基本的多物理锻炼破坏建模，运动表面塑造和热力学流量控制。该研究计划将以MTC能源系统为中心；该理论的应用将用于内部燃烧发动机（ICE）以及建筑物的供暖，通风和空调（HVAC）系统，这些系统会导致加拿大消费者的总能源使用的46％以上。能源系统（例如，建筑物到功率网格系统）。 *****该计划将培训11个博士学位，科学硕士（MSC）和科学学士学位（BSC）学生，以开发独特的技能，以使用新颖而强大的锻炼控制技术来最大程度地减少MTC系统的能源消耗。该计划的最终知识将通过计划的行业短期课程转移到相关行业。此外，将开发新的课程，将在线使用，供全球研究社区提供公众使用和宣传。该研究计划旨在填补这一知识差距。****更广泛的影响：新的锻炼控制理论将适用于所有机械热化学系统。特别是，预计该理论在该计划中的ICES的应用将为开发燃油，发电，石油和天然气，海洋和铁路行业的开发做出重大贡献。第二个直接影响区域包括为商业和居民HVAC系统节省节能，这些系统会导致消费者在加拿大消费者总能源使用的16％以上。 **
