Abstract
Chillers are used in many buildings to provide cooling facility to the building environment. The power consumption is one of the most significant factors that decides the effective maintenance cost of a building and emphasis is given to minimize the power consumption of a multiple chiller system, which is used for cooling the entire building system and simultaneously maintaining the cooling load requirement of the building system. The TLBO algorithm is employed for this study. In order to test the performance of the TLBO algorithm, three case studies are adopted and solved and the results are compared with the results of the previous researchers. The results of the three case studies show the performance supremacy of the TLBO algorithm in terms of power consumption for multiple chiller systems.
