Predictive Control
Predictive control evaluates actions based on their expected future outcomes, not just the present state.
Oasis Climate uses a form of receding horizon control, often known as Model Predictive Control (MPC). At each step, it solves an optimization problem over a future period but only implements the first action of the resulting plan.
Our Approach vs. Classic MPC
Our implementation is tailored for the home environment, prioritizing:
- Simpler Models: Using our first-order Digital Twin keeps computation lightweight.
- Explicit Uncertainty Handling: We favor strategies that are robust to forecast errors.
- Comfort-First Constraints: Optimization never violates the user's defined comfort boundaries.
