Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building environment and energy application technology, specifically relating to a method and system for controlling intermittent heating in residential buildings based on meteorological forecast data and thermal inertia sensing. Background Technology

[0002] In hot-summer and cold-winter regions of my country, residential buildings primarily employ intermittent heating and individual heating systems in winter to balance indoor thermal comfort and energy conservation. Simultaneously, to meet building energy conservation and carbon reduction requirements, an increasing number of new buildings utilize improved insulation structures, leading to a significant increase in building thermal inertia. Increased thermal inertia results in greater temperature transfer attenuation and delay, while existing heating control strategies generally lack quantitative consideration of the impact of building thermal inertia.

[0003] Intermittent heating theoretically saves energy, but in practice, it presents several problems, primarily: 1) Intermittent heating relies heavily on fixed schedules or simple temperature threshold triggering mechanisms, failing to fully utilize the thermal inertia buffering effect of the building envelope. This leads to energy waste from premature heating or substandard comfort due to delayed start-up; 2) Insufficient preheating time prevents indoor temperatures from reaching the design temperature during building use, impacting user experience. To achieve rapid preheating, intermittent heating systems must increase their capacity to compensate for the slow preheating; 3) Existing forecasting technologies often use historical meteorological data or short-term forecasts as boundary conditions. However, the raw forecast data released by meteorological departments cannot meet the local building comfort forecasting requirements, and the forecasting models do not incorporate building thermal characteristics, resulting in insufficient adaptability to extreme weather conditions and an inability to accurately predict the indoor temperature decay trend over the next few hours to days; 4) Traditional thermal network model parameters are typically based on parameters given in the design drawings, failing to reflect dynamic factors such as material aging and changes in usage patterns during actual building operation. Static models struggle to track the time-varying characteristics of the thermal performance of the building envelope, leading to accumulated prediction biases and impacting control accuracy.

[0004] Currently, extensive research has been conducted on intermittent heating in China. Patent (CN 209688973 U) describes an intermittent heating system with an energy storage tank, addressing the drawbacks of intermittent heating by adding an energy storage device to the heating system. However, this intermittent heating mode with an energy storage tank cannot be applied to single-family residential heating due to space and cost factors. Patent (CN112097315 B) proposes a time-sharing and zone-based complementary intermittent heating method suitable for school district heating systems. It proposes using time-sharing and zone-based intermittent heating for different user levels, utilizing the complementarity of different user loads in time and space. This method is suitable for centralized heating systems in public buildings such as schools, commercial office areas, and enterprises during long holidays. Patent (CN 206001596U) describes a time-sharing and intermittent heating control device for public buildings. It transmits data from outdoor and indoor temperature sensors to the control center via a data transmission module, and the control center calculates PID control to adjust the valve opening.

[0005] Existing research on intermittent heating control in buildings mainly focuses on the heating sector of public buildings. However, the living characteristics, resident structure, and behavior of residents in residential buildings differ greatly from those in public buildings. The core objective of intermittent heating control in residential buildings is to ensure "targeted needs of residents" and "convenience of use for residents." It is difficult to simply apply the heating control model of public buildings to intermittent heating in residential buildings.

[0006] Based on the need to balance building thermal comfort and energy conservation and carbon reduction under the dual carbon objectives, there is an urgent need for a control method for intermittent heating systems that can integrate high-precision weather forecast correction, dynamic perception of building thermal inertia, and adaptive parameter optimization, in order to solve the bottleneck problem of existing technologies in balancing heating energy efficiency and comfort in residential buildings. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method and system for controlling intermittent heating in residential buildings based on meteorological forecast data and thermal inertia sensing. By fusing data sensing (dynamic sensing of building thermal inertia) with weather forecast data, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network forecast error correction model is constructed, thereby achieving adaptive parameter optimization control of the intermittent heating system.

Dynamic Prediction: By constructing a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network forecast error correction model, the hourly weather forecasts issued by the meteorological department for the next 120 hours are corrected in real time. Based on building structural parameters, a thermal network model including walls, floors, and indoor air is established. The equivalent heat capacity and heat transfer coefficient of each component are identified online, and the model parameters are updated to predict the indoor air temperature under unheated conditions.

[0013] S3. Make heating decisions: Using the detailed weather forecast for the next 120 hours as the external boundary condition, and combining the thermal network model, the indoor air temperature is simulated and predicted hourly to determine whether the indoor temperature has fallen below the minimum comfort temperature limit specified by the user, so as to achieve a scientific assessment of the necessity of heating intervention and dynamic optimization of the start-up timing of the intermittent heating system.

[0014] S4. Optimization Control: The optimization control module, based on rolling prediction and online deviation monitoring, adaptively optimizes the model and updates parameters for the next round of prediction tasks, enabling continuous evolution of model performance.

[0015] Preferably, in step S2, the dynamic prediction module processes meteorological data using a pre-trained Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network model, establishes a multi-node lumped-parameter thermal network model including walls, floors, and indoor air based on building structural parameters, and identifies the equivalent heat capacity and heat transfer coefficient of each component online using the recursive least squares method.

[0028] S212. A multi-layer LSTM network is used to learn the dynamic characteristics of the prediction error. The network structure includes:

[0029] Input layer: 24-dimensional (corresponding to a 24-hour historical difference sequence);

[0030] Hidden layers: 2 layers of LSTM units, each containing 64 neurons, using the activation functions Sigmoid and tanh;

[0031] Output layer: Fully connected layer with a dimension of 24 (for 24-hour error prediction), using a linear activation function to adapt to the regression task;

[0032] The model was trained using time-series cross-validation, with mean squared error (MSE) as the loss function, Adam as the optimizer, a learning rate of 0.001, ≥1000 training cycles, and a batch size of 32.

[0033] S213. For real-time acquired 120-hour weather forecast sequences The trained LSTM model is used to predict the prediction error. Generate corrected meteorological sequences The corrected meteorological data is integrated with the building thermal characteristics database to form a high-precision, multi-dimensional dynamic thermal characteristics database, which is used for subsequent thermal network modeling and prediction.

[0034] Preferably, in step S25, the model parameters are updated using the recursive least squares (RLS) method, specifically including the following steps:

[0046] Preferably, in step S3, the decision-making module scientifically assesses the necessity of heating intervention and dynamically optimizes the optimal start-up time. Specific steps include:

[0047] S31. Obtain the hourly outdoor temperature sequence for the next 120 hours released by the meteorological department. The time resolution is 1 hour, covering the period from the current time. The continuous 120-hour interval starting from;

[0048] S32. Calculate the average outdoor temperature over the entire 120-hour forecast period. If the average outdoor temperature... If the temperature is low for an extended period, it is determined that the building envelope's own heat storage is insufficient to maintain basic thermal comfort requirements. The heating system should be activated immediately, with the heat source output power preset to 80% to 100% of its rated power.

[0049] S33. If This indicates that the current temperature drop is only a temporary fluctuation, and the system enters energy-saving assessment mode; at this time, the dynamic prediction module outputs the results for the next 24 hours (i.e., Indoor air temperature under conditions without active heating The change curve; extract the minimum value from the predicted curve using the following formula:

[0053] like This indicates that the building's thermal inertia is sufficient to withstand the impact of this short-term cooling, so the heating equipment should be turned off or kept off, and the zero-energy insulation mode should be activated.

[0054] S34. All control commands are sent to the Building Automation System (BAS) to drive the heating equipment to perform corresponding operations; the system updates meteorological data and measured temperature every 60 minutes, dynamically refreshing the data. and .

[0060] Set forecast deviation threshold (For example ).like If the forecast deviation is too large, the system will jump to S47; otherwise, continue to execute S44.

[0061] S44. Extract the measured indoor air temperature values ​​from the past N hours that were not affected by active heating. The corresponding time period is compared with the predicted value generated by the S2 thermal network model. By comparison, the maximum absolute prediction bias is calculated:

[0062]

[0063] S45. If (For example If the current thermal network model is significantly inaccurate, the online calibration procedure for the thermal network equivalent parameters is triggered, and S46 is executed; otherwise, the existing model parameters remain unchanged.

[0064] S46. Online calibration uses an incremental proportional correction method to adjust the equivalent heat capacity of the walls and floors. :

[0071] S47. If the forecast deviation is determined to be too large in S43, then suspend this thermal network parameter calibration. The system will then use the latest actual meteorological data. The corresponding original forecast data is added to the training dataset of the LSTM model, and the incremental training process of the LSTM model is started to ensure the forecast accuracy in the next running cycle. The calibrated model parameters are immediately written to the local database for the next round of prediction tasks, realizing the continuous evolution of model performance.
