Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of computer room energy management and control, and in particular to a centralized control method and system for an air-conditioning computer room. Background Art
[0002] At present, air conditioning equipment consumes a huge amount of energy, but lacks centralized control system functions, making equipment operation and management difficult, and the current operating mechanism makes it difficult to maximize the efficiency of the equipment. The automation level of the air-conditioning room system lags behind that of the same industry, and is heavily dependent on manual operation, which puts great pressure on operation. The power equipment in the room consumes a lot of power and is numerous. In addition to the isolated adjustment function of the main unit, the system has no host linkage adjustment and power equipment has no frequency conversion adjustment, which may lead to serious waste. The system has no mechanism for remote collection, unified management, and storage of energy consumption. The refined energy management does not have a reliable hardware foundation and sufficient data accumulation, which will make it difficult to effectively carry out energy management in the later stage.
[0003] At the beginning of the project construction, the design of the intelligent computer room was relatively extensive. The energy-intensive transmission and distribution system did not have a frequency conversion cabinet, resulting in a large amount of ineffective energy consumption, and it was urgent to rectify it into a frequency conversion system. The computer room did not have a fully automated air-conditioning centralized control system. The start and stop and operation of the air-conditioning host and auxiliary equipment all relied on manual operations. It was urgent to introduce a highly automated air-conditioning intelligent control system. Air-conditioning energy consumption statistics, energy efficiency comparisons, and equipment operating condition change trends are very helpful in improving the logistics management of the building. It is necessary to do a good job in data collection and statistical processing, and introduce a data management system. Air-conditioning energy consumption accounts for a large proportion of building energy, and it is necessary to collect advanced control technologies in the industry to manage the energy-saving operation of equipment, thereby creating considerable value for users. The average time is used to balance the equipment usage time and frequency, thereby ensuring that each device is in a relatively good state. The logic of switching the main pump to the standby pump after a fault signal can ensure the safe and stable operation of the system.
[0004] Through the data such as the accumulated equipment operation time and the frequency of failures, the management personnel are reminded to maintain or replace the aging equipment in time to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system. The most advanced Internet of Things technology and cloud monitoring technology are used to interconnect the equipment and operate in linkage. The operation personnel or management personnel can check the working condition of the equipment in the computer room and manage the equipment at any time and place through the authority management. After the system transformation, the automation level and energy saving level of the computer room system can be greatly improved. According to the project characteristics of the building, the "air conditioning station intelligent centralized control system" was established. The reliable PLC automatic control system is used to design the control logic according to the energy-saving operation on site, reasonably adjust the equipment operation status, and provide energy management analysis for the building.

[0038] The present invention is described in detail with reference to schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of the present invention, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first, second or third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0040] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install, connect, connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example: it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection; it can also be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection or a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0041] Example 1, reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides an air conditioning room centralized control method, comprising:
[0042] S1: Centralized management and monitoring layer, using the workstation as the host computer to uniformly monitor the various electromechanical equipment in the energy station.
[0043] Furthermore, a centralized control cabinet is configured to realize centralized control, energy-saving operation and remote monitoring functions of the main energy equipment in the computer room.
[0044] It should be noted that the configuration of the centralized control cabinet includes access to the host data interface through the modbus bus technology, which can read and display important data of the host, provide a basis for control and adjustment, and count operating data.
[0045] The host parameters can be read through the MODBUS interface, and the unit can be started and stopped through communication or dry contacts. The air conditioner host can be remotely started and stopped through the touch screen, automatically started and stopped according to the set time or set outdoor temperature, automatically set and adjust the outlet water temperature and temperature difference according to the outdoor temperature, and can be linked with the chilled water pump, while displaying all relevant parameters and alarm information.
[0046] Furthermore, when the centralized control cabinet is started, it automatically executes the self-check program to ensure that all modules are working properly. Through the customized configuration interface, parameters are set for each module, including device type, control strategy, energy saving target and remote monitoring parameters. The control logic based on event triggering is adopted instead of the traditional timed polling. When the device status changes, the sensor sends the event signal to the centralized control cabinet. The centralized control cabinet activates the control strategy of the corresponding module according to the event type, and the control module outputs instructions to the actuator to realize real-time control of the device.
[0047] The centralized control cabinet communicates with the central monitoring center through a secure remote connection, transmitting equipment status, energy consumption data and system alarm information in real time. The central monitoring center can send remote commands to the centralized control cabinet for emergency operations or system adjustments.
[0048] S2: At the equipment level, data collection and monitoring of the air-conditioning unit are realized through bus communication.
[0049] Furthermore, pipeline sensors are connected to fully obtain system operating data and analyze the converted load level;
[0050] The frequency conversion and switching of the power unit are adjusted according to the operating condition data to perform automatic operation and energy-saving operation. Various electromechanical equipment and intelligent instruments are connected to the system through the bus to realize the collection and monitoring of operating parameters.
[0051] It should be noted that the system has manual / automatic control functions. In manual mode, all controlled electromechanical equipment can be started individually, and in automatic mode, energy-saving automatic operation can be performed according to customized strategies; various electromechanical equipment and intelligent instruments are connected to the system through the bus, and the operating parameters of the system equipment in the station are collected and monitored through the transmitter, such as temperature, pressure, flow, electricity, energy power, etc. The system flow chart, system energy consumption statistics, cooling capacity statistics and other monitoring displays are displayed.
[0052] S3: At the field level, metering instruments, sensors and electronically controlled actuators are used for data collection and execution control.
[0053] Furthermore, all major energy sources and information flows within the station enter the system for centralized and unified visual monitoring. Through energy scheduling monitoring, energy supply can be adjusted, and all energy data and real-time status of system operation can be intuitively viewed.
[0054] It should be noted that PLC programmable logic control and serial port communication interface are used for data collection, monitoring of various process parameters of the pipeline system, system control of the equipment in the machine room and the transmission and distribution system according to the load, accurate tracking of user load, and centralized data collection and command control of the operating conditions of the electromechanical equipment group of the energy station through field bus communication;
[0055] By setting up pressure transmitters and temperature and humidity transmitters, the differential pressure PID adjustment and antifreeze protection of the air conditioning water pipeline are realized. The differential pressure PID of the air conditioning water inlet and outlet adjusts the pump frequency, and the minimum frequency corresponds to the farthest pressure lower limit. The differential pressure PID of the air conditioning water inlet and outlet adjusts the proportional valve (AO / AI), with frequency conversion adjustment first, and then proportional valve adjustment; the antifreeze protection introduces a dynamic adjustment model of the temperature threshold:
[0056] T set =T base +K f ·(T amb -T min )
[0057] Among them, T set is the new set temperature, T base is the base set temperature, K f is the temperature adjustment factor, T amb is the ambient temperature, T min It is the minimum temperature threshold for antifreeze protection; set the outdoor temperature and humidity transmitter and the pipe temperature transmitter. During the winter shutdown period, when the outdoor temperature is below -2 degrees, start the air conditioning water pipe antifreeze program: start the air conditioning water pump, and when the outdoor temperature is below -2 degrees and the pipe temperature is below 5 degrees, start the heat pump host. On the contrary, if the pipe temperature is higher than 6, the heat pump can be stopped, and when the outdoor temperature is higher than 0 degrees, the air conditioning water pump can be stopped (the above temperatures can be set).
[0058] Furthermore, the host parameters are read through the MODBUS interface, and the unit is started and stopped through communication or dry contacts. The system chooses to manually start and stop the chilled water pump or automatically run the pump. In manual mode, the pump operating frequency is manually set, and in automatic mode, the pump operating frequency is automatically adjusted according to the temperature difference or load value of the cold water main.
[0059] Collect the total inlet and outlet temperature and pressure of chilled water at the load end, automatically predict the load, adjust the number of air-conditioning units and water pump frequency regulation, and accurately track the load.
[0060] It should be noted that the principle of group control of the unit is that when the host is turned on and controlled, when cooling is carried out, the unit's cold water electric butterfly valve is opened - the cold water pump is started - the unit's cooling water electric butterfly valve is opened - the cooling tower is turned on, the electric butterfly valve is turned on - the cooling water pump is started - the unit is running - the cooling tower fan is started and stopped as needed;
[0061] The specific process of water pump control includes:
[0062] (1) The chilled water pipeline of the air-conditioning unit has three pumps in parallel: according to the pipeline pressure difference control, if the pressure difference is too large, more pumps will be turned on or the frequency will be increased by frequency conversion, otherwise, fewer pumps will be turned off or the frequency will be reduced by frequency conversion. In addition, the running time of each pump will be balanced, and the pump with less running time will be turned on first.
[0063] (2) The cooling water pipeline of the air-conditioning unit has three pumps in parallel. According to the pressure difference control of the pipeline, if the pressure difference is too large, more pumps will be turned on or the frequency will be increased by frequency conversion. Otherwise, fewer pumps will be turned off or the frequency will be reduced by frequency conversion. In addition, the running time of each pump will be balanced, and the pump with less running time will be turned on first.
[0064] S4: Realize economical supply of energy through data acquisition system.
[0065] Furthermore, the running time of each device is accumulated and counted, and the main device is switched according to the equal running time strategy of the devices, so that each device in the system can be effectively utilized;
[0066] Allows the system to automatically adjust non-critical loads during peak hours, reducing overall energy demand, quickly locate system faults through data analysis, reduce maintenance response time, and perform troubleshooting and system upgrades through remote access;
[0067] Set equipment maintenance time and compare it with operating time to remind you of maintenance time. After maintenance is confirmed, re-accumulate operating time to automatically manage equipment.
[0068] Furthermore, the equipment operation status and fault status are monitored in real time. When the main equipment fails, it automatically switches to the backup equipment to ensure the smooth operation of the system. The system can manually start and stop the water replenishment and drug dosing system. It monitors the pipeline pressure and issues a timely warning when the pressure is insufficient, and starts the water replenishment program. Drug dosing and other equipment can also be started according to the system operation time.
[0069] The system has fault detection and alarm functions. When a fault occurs during the operation of the air-conditioning system, the alarm information can be displayed on the touch screen, and the event report can be automatically (periodically) or manually exported on the touch screen, including the content of the alarm information, the time of occurrence and other relevant information.
[0070] Multifunctional electricity meters are installed on multiple main machines, multiple sets of electrical control cabinets (water pump frequency conversion and auxiliary equipment power supply), and auxiliary power distribution lines to count the total power consumption and power consumption of each equipment, and perform energy efficiency calculations and single equipment efficiency analysis.
[0071] Embodiment 2, an embodiment of the present invention, provides a centralized control method for an air-conditioning room. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through experiments.
[0072] The pressure sensor is used to obtain the pressure values of water supply and return water. On the one hand, it can provide high-pressure and low-pressure protection, and on the other hand, the difference between the two pressure values is the pressure difference. The pressure difference can indirectly feedback the terminal load, because at the same flow rate, the module fan coil reaches the control temperature, closes the two-way valve, and increases the system resistance coefficient, and the pressure difference will increase. When the actual pressure difference of the system is greater than the set pressure difference, the pump frequency is reduced, and the head and flow are reduced at the same time, achieving energy saving.
[0073] Water supply is 1.3 MPa, return water is 1.1 MPa 1.3-1.1=0.2 MPa. According to the system debugging results, the pressure difference of 0.2 MPa meets the system requirements.
[0074] The system cooling water pump is adjusted according to the cooling return water temperature, because after a lot of experiments, the host is most energy-efficient when the cooling return water is 30℃.
[0075] When the system load increases, the water supply temperature rises, and the return water temperature also rises. The system increases the cooling capacity by increasing the speed of the cooling water pump and cooling fan to ensure that the return water temperature is stable in the range of 28-30℃. Compared with the fixed operation before the transformation, energy saving is more than 10%.
[0076] To ensure that the pumps and fans are not affected in case of failure, at least one spare pump and fan is kept for each group. When the load is small, two pumps are actually idle. Evenly using the pumps can avoid frequent maintenance due to excessive use of a particular pump.
[0077] All water pumps and fans will calculate their working time in minutes when in operation (including manual and automatic). Before each start, the pump with the shortest cumulative working time in the pump group will be selected for priority start. Each time it stops, the pump with the longest single running time will be selected for limited stop to ensure balanced service life.
[0078] Check the actual operation data and the difference in the cumulative working time of the pumps in the same pump group working normally shall not exceed 10%.
