Reducing the energy consumption of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems while ensuring users’ comfort is of both academic and practical significance. However, the-state-of-the-art of the optimization model of the HVAC system is that either the thermal dynamic model is simplified as a linear model, or the optimization model of the HVAC system is single-timescale, which leads to heavy computation burden. To balance the practicality and the overhead of computation, in this paper, a multi-timescale bilinear model of HVAC systems is proposed. To guarantee the consistency of models in different timescales, the fast timescale model is built first with a bilinear form, and then the slow timescale model is induced from the fast one, specifically, with a bilinear-like form. After a simplified replacement made for the bilinear-like part, this problem can be solved by a convexification method. Extensive numerical experiments have been conducted to validate the effectiveness of this model.

Prevention of frost in horticulture is important, but challenging, and its realization,especially using green-energy sources, will have a huge societal impact.In this paper, first we suggest an integrated solarphotovoltaics (PV)-assisted framework where solar energy will be used as a secondary application for frostprevention (the primary application is electricity production for grid). Optimal design and operation ofthe suggested integrated system require detailed thermal modeling of air dynamics in the orchard,integrated system optimization and control tasks. Second, in this paperwe address the first task above: development of a novel, sophisticated parametric computational fluid dynamics (CFD)model for orchard air thermal dynamics for different orchard parameters (such as fruit type, climate, the number of trees,their sizes, distance between them, etc.) and boundary/initial conditions.Finally, the use of developed parametric CFD model is demonstrated through a case study to calculate the minimal thermalenergy required to prevent frost under different frost levels in a test apricot orchard located in Malatya, Turkey, which isthe world capital for dry apricot production.
