Controls for heating systems - Part 2: Optimum start-stop control equipment for hot water heating systems

This standard applies to electronic equipment which controls heating systems with water as the heating medium and a flow temperature up to 120 °C. The signals can be processed by using either analogue or digital techniques, or both. The particular equipment to which this standard applies covers both :
·   stand-alone start optimisers or start-stop optimisers, taking priority to the main controller during periods.
·   controllers which contain an integrated optimum start or an optimum start-stop control function.
It applies both to adaptive and fixed parameters control functions and sets minimum acceptable standards for functions, performance and documentation.
NOTE   The optimum start-stop function can be integrated within a main control device such as an outside temperature compensated (OTC) controller. In this case the controller would be expected to meet both Part 1 and Part 2 of this standard (see EN 12098-1:1996).
Safety requirements on heating systems and heating control systems remain unaffected by this standard. The actuators and the dynamic behaviour of the valves are not covered in this standard.
This control equipment may or may not be connected to a data network.

Page 4EN 12098-2:2001IntroductionEquipment which controls the heating supply in buildings according to outside and/or roomtemperature is necessary to reduce the energy consumption of heating plants and maintaincomfort level. Fixed switching times for intermittent scheduling, like an outside temperaturecontroller according to EN 12098-1:1996, may not lead to energy saving and comfortoptimisation. An optimum start-stop controller schedules switching times in relation withmeasured variables. Its function brings a high level of energy saving without reduction ofdesired comfort. It complements a main controller like an outside temperature controller (OTC).The optimum start-stop function also brings benefits to the user because it is easier toprogramme. The user sets the time at which comfort conditions should apply, rather than theswitch-on or switch-off times of the plant. Without the optimum start-stop function, switch timesmay have to be manually changed to achieve energy savings and acceptable comfort levels.NOTEOptimum start-stop functions is illustrated by Figure 1: Heating periods are different fromscheduled occupation periods. These differences, due to thermal inertia, depend mainly on heating loads(or temperatures differences). A start-stop optimiser controls these switchings, using outside and/or roomtemperatures or their differences in relation to setpoints.Nominal occupation periodOccupationOccupationStartStopStartStartStop14161820048122420164481220162400ScheduleoccupationperiodsHeatingoperationRoomtemperature8Hour of day°CMaincontrollerfunctionMaincontrollerfunctionMaincontrollerfunctionFigure 1 - Relation between occupation, heating and room temperatureAdaptive functions are easier to commission because they require fewer installationadjustments and no readjustment.Included in this standard are the main equipment characteristics which assist in reaching theseenergy saving and comfort objectives.Characteristics which are directly tested include:accuracy of sensorspart load characteristicsCharacteristics which are required to be indicated by the manufacturer include:time constantsSIST EN 12098-2:2002

This is achieved by assuming the thermal behaviour of the heating plant and building,switching on and controlling the heating plant at a maximum or other high level, such that theroom temperature rises rapidly from the stand-by or reduced level to its target level at the startof the nominal occupation period. The switch-on time may be limited by design or a userparameter.4.1.3 Adaptive Optimum Start (Class B, C)An additional aim to optimum start is to make the control easy to use and apply to manyapplications with the minimum of adjustment.This is achieved by periodically modifying the characteristic optimum start curve, withknowledge of the dynamic thermal behaviour of the heating plant and the building, to minimisethe time error from the defined start time of the nominal period. Adaptation may be permanentlyenabled or disabled and/or enabled for a specified number of adaptation cycles or until anoptimum condition is met.4.1.4 Optimum Stop (Class B, C)The aims are to save energy and maintain a comfort level before the end of a nominaloccupation period. This is achieved by assuming the thermal behaviour of the heating plant andbuilding, switching off or reducing the heating before the end of the nominal occupation periodsuch that the room temperature does not fall below an acceptable comfort level. This lowerlevel may be less than the achieved comfort level at the start and during the nominal operationperiod. The maximum value of the switch-off time may be limited by design or a userparameter.4.1.5 Adaptive Optimum Stop (Class B, C)An additional aim to optimum stop is to make the control easy to use and applied to manyapplications with the minimum of adjustment.This is achieved by periodically modifying the characteristic optimum stop curve, withknowledge of the dynamic thermal behaviour of the heating plant and the building, to producean acceptable comfort level at the end of the nominal occupation period and to maximise theswitch-off time and/or the reduction in energy level. This end comfort level may be less than theachieved comfort level at the start of the nominal occupation period. Adaptation may bepermanently enabled or disabled and/ or enabled for a specified number of adaptation cycles oruntil an optimum condition is met.NOTEFunctions described in this standard apply to plants with heating sources able to provide anincreased, maximum or repeatable power (heating) or maintain constant the controlled variable. Somesystems are unable to provide sufficient stability of heating supply.These heating systems can require measurement of the primary supply temperature, or heat poweravailable for boost and special algorithms (non linear, multiple parameters and/or multiple variables).SIST EN 12098-2:2002



Page 12EN 12098-2:2001Examples: multiple boilers with some kinds of sequencing control, primary hot water supply systems controlled according to outside temperature.Some other functions can be added to intermittent heating control function: allow comfort temperature to rise during a limited duration after start of occupancy, forcomfort needs, automatically offset reduced room temperature level. When the heating load is nearmaximal power and abnormally long optimum start times are required the reduced roomtemperature can be raised closer to the comfort temperature, cold wall effect compensation. An averaging method of air and wall temperatures to allowfor different structures, compensate for long unoccupied periods (or long periods at a reduced temperature) with asignificant extra energy input to achieve the specified temperature and time requirements.The long-term thermal behaviour of buildings can often necessitate longer anticipationtimes than would normally be expected. Sometimes known as the Monday morning effect. a maximum switch-on time is generally regarded by the users and energy managers as adesirable requirement.4.2 Control equipment functionalityOptimiserOutside Sensor(Class A, C)Room Sensor(Class B, C)Other ReferenceVariableOptimum StopAdaptivefunctionOptimum StartAdaptivefunctionSignal(s)for ActuatorsBoolean tomain controllerOptimum StopParametersOptimum StartParametersOperation ModeSettingsClock SettingsFrost SettingsFigure 4 - Block Schematic of Start – Stop Optimiser (SSO) Control EquipmentSIST EN 12098-2:2002
