Constraints The optimal control of a water-cooled central cooling system is a typical constrained optimization problem because the system or components confront various limitations. The commonly used constraints are summarized below. 3.4.1. Satisfying the cooling demand
Due to the common use of water-cooled central cooling systems in energy-intensive buildings, improving the energy efficiency of the central cooling system is crucial for building energy conservation. Using energy-efficient equipment is an essential measure for reducing the energy consumption of the central cooling system.
The circulating cooling water system is developed by the direct-flow cooling water system, which saves water enormously by recycling the cooling medium. The system generally includes: water supply pumps, heat exchangers, cooling towers, valves, pipes and other minor components.
The supervisory control determines the operation mode and specifies setpoints for the local control loops. The local control adjusts the sequences and processes of relevant equipment to maintain the operation mode and setpoints determined at the supervisory control level. Fig. 2. The control structure of water-cooled central cooling systems.
In the reviewed studies, the system-model-based method is still the major solution for optimizing the control of the water-cooled central cooling system, as 83.7% of reviewed papers used this kind of approach. In recent years, data mining and reinforcement learning methods have been gradually used in this field. Fig. 5.

ESS, PEB charging piles and the appliances of nearby residential or commercial areas (other loads) are connected to the secondary side of the distribution transformer. If the station has exclusive distribution transformer, the ratio of the power of other loads will be approximately zero.
While under the uncoordinated PEB charging scenario, the controlled peak load remains constant with the change of the ESS price because all the capacity of ESS are used to shave the peak PEB charging loads during the high and peak TOU price periods, which brings larger benefits than ESS costs.
Additionally, under the coordinated PEB charging scenario (PEB charging loads are controllable), an optimal coordinated charging and discharging strategy involving PEBs and ESS is proposed. The control of ESS and PEBs is optimised in an integrated way and the combined control strategy achieves the best optimality.
According to whether the PEB charging loads are controllable, the corresponding mathematical models are, respectively, established under two scenarios, i.e. coordinated PEB charging scenario and uncoordinated PEB charging scenario.
Besides, it is observed that charging and discharging of ESS both occur in the valley period of electricity price (see Figs. 7 and 8 ). As a result, the night peak loads are further flattened, which implies that economic losses caused by energy consumption during the charging and discharging process are less than the reduction of capacity charge.
(i) A coordinated charging strategy for PEBs without considering ESS is formulated as the baseline strategy. Additionally, under the coordinated PEB charging scenario (PEB charging loads are controllable), an optimal coordinated charging and discharging strategy involving PEBs and ESS is proposed.
