Extended state observer based control for ground-coupled heat pump system

This paper aims to investigate an extended state observer (ESO) based control approach for the ground-coupled heat pump system (GCHP). As GCHP system has strong disturbances, a feasible approach of disturbance rejection should be proposed necessarily. ESO is employed to estimate the disturbance and compensate it to the controller to eliminate effects of the disturbance. By using ESO-based control and comparing with traditional control method, a better control performance is obtained through simulation verification.
