AI Technical Summary
Existing heat pump unit scheduling and control systems suffer from problems such as lack of heat load prediction capability, imbalance in heat load distribution among multiple units, insufficient energy supply stability, and poor anti-interference capability due to fixed power parameters. This results in high operating energy consumption, large heating fluctuations, and severe losses due to frequent equipment start-ups and shutdowns, failing to meet the low-consumption, stable, and precise control requirements of smart buildings.
By collecting historical building heat load time series data and future meteorological data, and combining LSTM prediction model and artificial bee colony algorithm, heat load demand forecast values are generated. An improved deep Q network and PID controller are constructed, and an improved dual heuristic algorithm is used to optimize the PID controller parameters to achieve global optimization and precise control.
It enables building heat pump units to move from post-event correction to pre-event prediction, global optimization, and precise control, thereby reducing operating energy consumption, improving the balance of heat load distribution and control accuracy, reducing losses from frequent start-up and shutdown of units, and meeting the energy supply and management needs of smart buildings and green buildings.
