[0088] The optimization task of the chilled water pump is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] The optimization task of the chilled water pump consists of two parts. The first part represents the operating energy consumption of a single chilled water pump; the second part represents the augmented Lagrangian term used to deal with the energy balance constraint between the chilled water pump and other equipment in the water system.

[0091] The optimization task of the cooling water pump is as follows:

[0092]

[0093] The optimization task of the cooling tower is as follows:

[0094]

[0095] The optimization task of cooling tower consists of two parts. The first part represents the operating energy consumption of a single cooling tower; the second part represents the augmented Lagrangian term used to deal with the energy balance constraints between the cooling tower and other equipment in the water system.

[0096] S3-2: The sub-optimization tasks of the wind system include the sub-optimization tasks of the air handling units and terminal rooms.

[0097] In this example, the optimization task of the air handling unit is as follows:

[0098]

[0099] The secondary optimization task of the air handling unit consists of three parts. The first part represents the operating energy consumption of a single air handling unit; the second part represents the augmented Lagrangian term used to deal with the coupling constraints between the main optimization task and the water system; the third part represents the augmented Lagrangian term used to deal with the mass conservation constraints between the air handling unit and each terminal room.

[0104] S4. Based on the master optimization task at the subsystem level and the slave optimization task at the equipment level, a multi-level alternating direction multiplier method is used to perform master-slave hierarchical game optimization to minimize the total operating energy consumption of the central air-conditioning system while maintaining the thermal comfort of end users.

[0105] S4-1: Set the parameters to be optimized and Initialize to 0, and set each Lagrange multiplier and Initialized to 0;

[0106] S4-2: Set the penalty coefficient ρ for each level m =1,ρ s,w =10 and ρ s,a =10, set the number of iterations k m =0, k s,w = 0 and k s,a,i =0, set the upper limit of the number of iterations and

[0109] S4-4: Update the Lagrange multipliers of the water system equipment and wind system equipment from the hierarchy respectively, as shown in the following formula:

[0110]

[0111]

[0112] The value of the Lagrangian multiplier in the slave level depends on the coupling constraint deviation between the water system equipment or the wind system equipment. When the constraint deviation becomes larger, the value of the Lagrangian multiplier in the slave level increases, thereby guiding the next round of slave task iteration to optimize in the direction of reducing the constraint deviation.

[0113] S4-5: Determine whether the hierarchical optimization process converges, as shown in the following formula:

[0114]

[0115] Among them, ε s,w and ε s,a,i are the judgment thresholds of the hierarchical optimization process for the water system and the wind system, respectively, and are both set to 0.01 in this embodiment. and The hierarchical optimization process ends and goes to step S4-6. Otherwise, set k s,w and k s,a,i The value increases by 1, and steps S4-3 to S4-5 are repeated.

[0116] S4-6: Update the main-level Lagrange multiplier as shown below:

[0117]

[0118] The value of the Lagrange multiplier in the main level depends on the coupling constraint deviation between the water system and the wind system. When the constraint deviation becomes larger, the value of the Lagrange multiplier in the main level increases, thereby guiding the next round of main task iteration to optimize in the direction of reducing the constraint deviation.

[0119] S4-7: Determine whether the main level optimization process converges, as shown in the following formula:

[0120]

[0121] Among them, ε m,1 and ε m,2 are the primary residual threshold and the dual residual threshold of the main level optimization process, respectively, and are both set to 0.01 in this embodiment. The main level optimization process ends and goes to step S4-8. Otherwise, set k m The value increases by 1, and steps S4-3 to S4-7 are repeated.

[0122] S4-8: Output the calculation results of the parameters to be optimized to achieve optimal control of the central air-conditioning system.

[0123] The central air conditioning system in this embodiment is mainly configured as follows: the rated cooling capacity of each chiller is 2300kW, and the rated COP is 5.93; the rated power of each chilled water pump is 37kW, and the rated flow rate is 414m 3 / h; the rated power of each cooling water pump is 55kW and the rated flow rate is 468m 3 / h; the rated heat exchange of each cooling tower is 2835kW, the rated power of the fan is 22kW, and the rated flow rate of the fan is 3470m 3 / min; the rated cooling capacity of each air handling unit is 2150kW, the rated power of the blower is 100kW, and the rated flow rate is 9280m 3 / min.

[0124] A typical summer day was selected as the test condition for performance evaluation. The cooling load demand of each terminal room on that day was as follows: Figure 3 As shown. The indoor temperature setting value of each terminal room is uniformly set to 26°C. Two commonly used control methods in two fields are set for performance comparison, including the rule control method and the traditional optimization control method without master-slave game architecture. The rule control method does not use any optimization means. The chilled water outlet temperature of the chiller is constantly set to 7°C. The chilled water pump, cooling water pump, cooling tower fan, and air handling unit fan all maintain industrial frequency operation. The valve opening of each terminal variable air volume air conditioning box is always kept fully open. The traditional optimization control method does not adopt a master-slave game architecture. The optimal control result is searched through the alternating direction multiplier method. Its penalty coefficient, convergence threshold and other parameters are consistent with the settings in the method of the present invention. The control interval of the three methods is set to 1h, and the simulation time is from 8:00 to 19:00.

[0125] Comparison of the energy consumption of central air conditioning system under different control methods Figure 4As shown. Because the water pump and fan always run at rated frequency under the rule control method, there is a large energy waste under partial load conditions, and the system operating energy consumption is the highest among the three. In contrast, the method of the present invention optimizes the control parameters through a master-slave game architecture, and the system operating energy consumption drops from 17311.0kWh to 13661.5kWh, with an energy saving rate of 21.1%. In addition, compared with the traditional optimization control method without a master-slave game architecture, the method of the present invention has higher optimization accuracy, and the operating energy consumption deviation between the two is 0.4%.

[0126] Comparison of indoor temperature distribution results of each terminal room under different control methods Figure 5 As shown. The temperature control effect of the rule control method is the worst, the temperature distribution is uneven, the range of the indoor temperature is as high as 7.3°C, and the standard deviation is 2.2°C. The temperature control effect of the traditional optimization control method is better than the rule control method, with a range of 2.1°C and a standard deviation of 0.4°C. However, due to the limited optimization accuracy of this method, its temperature control effect in some time periods is still insufficient. In contrast, under the method of the present invention, the indoor temperature of each terminal room is always maintained at 25.5°C-26.0°C, the range of the indoor temperature is only 0.5°C, and the standard deviation is only 0.1°C. It has good temperature control capabilities throughout the test conditions.

[0127] Comparison of the computation time required for optimization between the traditional optimization control method and the method of the present invention Figure 6 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the average calculation time required for the traditional optimization control method in the entire test condition is 137.8s. In contrast, the method of the present invention adopts the master-slave game optimization architecture, and the average calculation time is reduced to 48.6s, and the calculation efficiency is improved by 64.7%.

[0128] It can be seen that compared with the rule control method and optimization control method commonly used in the current field, the method of the present invention has better optimization accuracy and calculation efficiency, can be applied to the optimization and control tasks of large-scale complex central air-conditioning systems, and can improve the operating efficiency of the system while ensuring the thermal comfort of end users.

[0129] Embodiment 2: This embodiment is a collaborative optimization control device for a central air-conditioning system based on master-slave game, including: a general task setting module, a general task decomposition module, a main task decomposition module and a game optimization module, etc.

[0130] In this example, the overall task setting module is used to set the overall optimization control task based on the system structure of the central air-conditioning system, including the overall objective function, the energy conservation constraints of the central air-conditioning water system and the wind system.
