Abstract: The development of recently-designed energy efficient components and complex energy concepts has heightened the need to develop advanced control strategies. Exergy-based control strategies are among the recently introduced control strategies, which apply the second law of thermodynamics to control. Exergy is defined as the maximum available work that can be extracted from a system during a process that brings the system into equilibrium with its environment. An exergy analysis can be applied as a powerful thermodynamic technique for assessing and optimizing the efficiency of complex energy systems.
