MPC With ARX Model Using Gekko

I am modelling an MPC to control a fridge and keep the temperature within a given interval while minimizing the cost. I am using GEKKO to model my algorithm. I wrote the following

Solution 1:

The problem is with:

T = m.CV(value=11) # Temperature will start at 11.

You are redefining the T variable but it stores both internally. If you need to re-initialize to 11 then use T.value=11. Also, I added the eH and eL variables before the steady state initialization. Here is a complete script that runs successfully.

from gekko import GEKKO
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
m = GEKKO(remote = True)


#initialize variables

#Room Temprature:
T_external = [23,23,23,23,23.5,23.5,23.4,23.5,23.9,23.7,\
              23,23.9,23.9,23.4,23.9,24,23.6,23.7,23.8,\
              23,23,23,23,23]

# Temprature Lower Limit:
temp_low = 10*np.ones(24)

# Temprature Upper Limit:
temp_upper = 12*np.ones(24)

#Hourly Energy prices:
TOU_v = [39.09,34.93,38.39,40.46,40.57,43.93,25,11,9,24,51.28,45.22,45.72,\
            36,35.03,10,12,13,32.81,42.55,8,29.58,29.52,29.52]
