Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy consumption control, and in particular to an energy consumption prediction and energy-saving control system. Background Art
[0002] Energy efficiency optimization of building automation systems has become a critical component in achieving the "dual carbon" goals. However, traditional building energy management systems face the challenge of achieving coordinated prediction, control, and diagnosis in multi-dimensional, dynamically coupled scenarios. The core technical bottleneck is the inability of existing systems to simultaneously capture dynamic load disturbances such as occupancy density and outdoor environment in real time, address the impact of multi-subsystem coupling interference on control accuracy, and implement intelligent multi-source data assessment of equipment energy efficiency.
[0003] Specifically, traditional energy consumption prediction models rely on historical data statistics and static load assumptions (such as a fixed heat coefficient K value and ignoring the dynamic impact of water quality TDS). These models are slow to respond to dynamic scenarios such as the sudden gathering of people (causing CO2 concentrations to surge by over 300 ppm) and extreme weather (where outdoor temperature and humidity fluctuate by over 15% hourly). This results in short-term energy consumption forecast errors generally exceeding 10%, directly causing the adjustment of operating parameters for air conditioning cooling and heating systems, water pumps, and fans to lag behind actual load demand, resulting in 15%-20% inefficient energy consumption. More critically, subsystems such as air conditioning temperature and humidity control, fresh air volume adjustment, and device group control are strongly coupled (for example, changes in fresh air valve opening simultaneously affect return air temperature and chilled water load). Traditional control strategies lack multivariable decoupling capabilities (by failing to establish a state-space model for return air temperature, CO2 concentration, and PM2.5 concentration). This leads to a "temperature overshoot-energy rebound" cycle during the control process, resulting in a 12%-18% decrease in the system's energy efficiency ratio (EER) compared to the theoretical optimal value. In addition, energy efficiency evaluation and fault diagnosis rely only on single-dimensional parameters such as current and voltage (e.g., only monitoring EER drop of 10% triggers an early warning), ignoring the current harmonic distortion rate (when THD>8%, the motor copper loss increases by 15%), vibration signals (RMS value of 2-3m / s in the initial stage of bearing wear), and the like. 2 ) and environmental parameters, resulting in a 3-5 day delay in discovering hidden energy efficiency losses of equipment (such as continuous energy waste caused by insulation aging), and an increase in operation and maintenance costs of more than 30%.
[0004] These issues essentially reflect the technical gaps in traditional systems within the "dynamic load sensing - coupled interference decoupling - multi-source data decision-making" chain: They are unable to dynamically modify load forecasting models using real-time environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, occupancy density, water quality indicators), struggle to achieve multivariable collaborative optimization during control execution, and lack the ability to conduct in-depth diagnostics of equipment health based on harmonic analysis and vibration monitoring. This results in building mechanical and electrical equipment operating in a state of "high energy consumption and low reliability" for extended periods, making it difficult to meet the requirements for reducing energy intensity.
[0005] In summary, this application proposes an energy consumption prediction and energy-saving control system. Summary of the Invention

[0151] Among them, set the fault judgment rules:
[0152] If THD>8% and lasts for 10 minutes, the "motor winding insulation aging" alarm is triggered;
[0153] If the third harmonic component I3 / I1>5% and the fifth harmonic component I5 / I1>3%, it is judged as "power supply voltage unbalance";
[0154] Combined with the vibration sensor data, when THD exceeds the limit and the vibration acceleration RMS value is greater than 4m / s 2 When the fault occurs, it is determined to be a "combined fault of bearing wear and electrical failure".
[0155] The human-computer interaction unit builds a 3D visualization interface based on WebGL technology. Its specific functions include:
[0156] Dynamically display the water pipe topology of the cold and hot source system, and mark the high temperature alarm point in red;
[0157] Energy consumption ratio charts are displayed by air conditioning, lighting, water pumps, and elevators, and support drilling down to the sub-item equipment level;
[0158] The remote manual intervention interface provides forced start and stop, parameter modification and policy import functions. The operation permissions are divided into three levels: administrator, engineer and guest.
[0159] 6. The system coordination mechanism realizes two-way data interaction between modules through a real-time database, ensuring that the prediction results drive the dynamic adjustment of the control strategy. Specifically, it includes:
[0160] The real-time database uses a time series database (InfluxDB), with storage granularity set to 1-second raw data. The data partitioning strategy is divided by device type. The data retention period for the cooling and heating source systems is 30 days, and the data retention period for the lighting system is 7 days.
[0161] The output instructions of the energy consumption prediction module are written into the PLC register of the control execution module through the OPCUA protocol. The specific parameter configuration is:
[0162] The OPCUA server address is opc.tcp: / / 192.168.1.100:4840, and the session timeout is set to 300 seconds;
[0163] The write register address range is 40001-40050, the data type is Float32, and the encoding rule is Little-Endian;
[0164] After receiving the feedback data from the control execution module, the energy management module uses a sliding window weighted average algorithm to update the energy efficiency analysis model weights. The formula is:
[0165] W new =α·W old +(1-α)·ΔW
[0166] Among them, W new is the updated model weight matrix, W old is the model weight matrix before updating, α is the forgetting factor (with a value of 0.7-0.9), ΔW is the model error gradient of the current period, and the weight matrix is updated every hour.
[0167] In the implementation, a fully closed-loop collaborative system of "data acquisition - prediction and analysis - control execution - feedback optimization" is constructed through a real-time database and a two-way data exchange protocol, ensuring real-time data sharing and dynamic linkage between modules. A collaborative verification mechanism between edge computing and cloud-based models improves local data processing efficiency while ensuring the consistency of prediction results. This enhances the system's rapid response capabilities and overall robustness to complex scenarios, forming a highly efficient operating model of "prediction-driven control and control feedback optimization."
[0168] The present invention provides a complete chain from data perception, predictive analysis to intelligent control and visual management, breaking through the bottlenecks of traditional systems in data integration, prediction accuracy, control coordination and operation and maintenance efficiency, realizing refined management of building energy consumption, systematic improvement of equipment energy efficiency and intelligent transformation of operation and maintenance decision-making, providing solid technical support for green buildings and efficient energy conservation.
