Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of load control, and in particular to an artificial intelligence-based water-cooled central air-conditioning load control method. Background Art
[0002] Water-cooled central air-conditioning systems undertake key temperature control tasks, and their operating efficiency directly affects the overall energy consumption level; with the application of artificial intelligence technology, more and more central air-conditioning systems have begun to adopt intelligent load control methods.
[0003] In scenarios such as data centers and hospitals where temperature control requirements are high, the operating status of chillers and cooling towers are closely related, but the current load control method usually optimizes the two separately, lacking a linkage scheduling strategy, resulting in insufficient energy efficiency optimization of the cooling water system; current artificial intelligence load control methods are mostly focused on the optimization control of chillers, such as using deep learning or time series prediction models to improve load prediction accuracy, and optimizing the operating status of chillers accordingly; however, the accuracy of load prediction is not directly equivalent to maximizing system energy efficiency; in actual operation, the optimal scheduling of chillers is often independent of the operating strategy of cooling towers, while cooling tower fans and water pumps still rely on fixed rules or simple temperature difference thresholds for control, which makes it difficult to adapt to changes in load demand of the chiller in a timely manner, resulting in unstable cooling water temperature regulation, which in turn affects the performance coefficient COP of the chiller.
[0004] This problem is particularly prominent in the hot and humid southern regions or in environments with large changes in external temperature and humidity. The existing hierarchical fan control strategy is only based on the fixed supply and return water temperature difference for start and stop, rather than dynamic optimization, resulting in frequent changes in the operation of the cooling tower fan, further aggravating the burden on the chiller. At the same time, the coordinated operation between the water pump, chiller and cooling tower has not been fully considered, and it is easy to have "frequent start and stop of the chiller, high-frequency operation of the cooling tower fan", resulting in additional energy loss. Although some optimization schemes introduce adaptive adjustment mechanisms, such as adjusting the cooling water temperature set point in combination with the chiller load prediction model, or using fuzzy control to optimize the cooling tower fan operation strategy, they have not been able to completely solve the nonlinear coupling relationship between the chiller and the cooling tower, and the system's dynamic matching ability under different load conditions is still limited.
[0005] It can be seen that although the existing artificial intelligence load control method has partially improved the operating efficiency of water-cooled central air-conditioning, due to the insufficient coordinated optimization of chillers and cooling towers, there are still problems such as system response lag, energy efficiency loss, and frequent equipment start and stop; therefore, on the basis of the current load control method, further improving the coordinated optimization capabilities of cooling towers and chillers, and building an intelligent control strategy based on global energy efficiency optimization will become the key direction for energy-saving optimization of water-cooled central air-conditioning.
