Description

Multi-split air conditioning system optimization control, building unit energy efficiency assessment methods and systems Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy efficiency assessment technology, specifically to a method and system for optimizing control of multi-split air conditioning systems and assessing energy efficiency for individual buildings. Background Technology

[0002] With China's rapid economic development and the continuous expansion of urban buildings, the proportion and absolute value of building energy consumption in total energy consumption are becoming increasingly significant. Air conditioning systems account for a large portion of this energy consumption. In the context of "dual carbon" (carbon dioxide, carbon emissions, and air conditioning), minimizing air conditioning energy consumption is of great importance for environmental protection and improving the quality of human life. Multi-split air conditioners control the refrigerant flow of different indoor units, enabling one outdoor unit to simultaneously provide cooling / heating to multiple indoor units. By using intelligent algorithms to control the indoor set temperature of multi-split air conditioners, system energy consumption can be minimized while meeting human thermal comfort needs. Multi-split air conditioners often simultaneously meet the cooling and heating comfort needs of multiple rooms. Since different rooms have different requirements and temperature settings, energy efficiency often varies; therefore, assessing the energy efficiency of multi-split systems for different rooms is a crucial task.

[0003] A search of existing technologies revealed that Chinese invention patent application CN114353196A, entitled "Multi-split Air Conditioner Control Method, Control Device and Multi-split Air Conditioner," proposes a multi-split air conditioner control method and control device that can obtain some parameters generated by the operation of the indoor unit, adaptively learn and correct the target indoor unit coil temperature, so as to quickly obtain the optimized control performance of the air conditioner. Chinese invention patent application CN114234370A, entitled "A Control Method, Device, and Multi-Split Air Conditioner," proposes a time-series optimization algorithm that considers the impact of the building's heat storage potential on energy consumption during operation, achieving the lowest possible total energy consumption for air conditioning within the future time domain. Chinese invention patent application CN201610054309, entitled "A VRV Air Conditioning Billing System," calculates operating costs for each terminal by monitoring the outdoor unit's power consumption, the setting of the user's cooling / heating coil, and timers on each cooling / heating coil. Chinese invention patent application CN114576807A, entitled "A VRV Air Conditioning Prepaid Integrated Cost Control System and its Energy-Saving Cost Control Method," calculates the operating costs of each indoor unit by collecting equipment and operating parameters. Existing technologies primarily focus on system energy consumption in terms of control, relatively neglecting residents' thermal comfort; in terms of evaluation, they mainly focus on individual household economic analysis, without considering energy efficiency assessment.

[0045] Figure 2 is a flowchart of the multi-split air conditioning system optimization control and building unit energy efficiency assessment method provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] In the diagram: Room temperature sensor 1, Room humidity sensor 2, Room occupancy sensor 3, Data transmission module 4, Data processing and analysis module 5, Room 6, Outdoor temperature and humidity sensor 7, Outdoor radiation intensity sensor 8, Outdoor wind speed sensor 9, Data acquisition module 10. Detailed Implementation

[0047] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0048] A multi-split air conditioning system optimization control and building unit energy efficiency assessment system includes: a data acquisition module 10, a data transmission module 4, and a data processing module 5;

[0049] The data acquisition module 10 includes: a room temperature sensor 1, a room humidity sensor 2, a room number sensor 3, an outdoor temperature and humidity sensor 7, an outdoor radiation intensity sensor 8, and an outdoor wind speed sensor 9. The room temperature sensor 1, room humidity sensor 2, and room number sensor 3 are installed in the room 6.

[0050] The room temperature sensor 1 can be a common sensor used in the field for monitoring gas temperature, such as a thermistor temperature sensor, thermocouple temperature sensor, RTD temperature sensor, semiconductor-based temperature sensor, etc. For its installation, a relatively standardized and practical installation method should be adopted to avoid sampling points where the temperature is inconsistent with the current room temperature, such as air conditioner vents, direct sunlight, and ventilation openings, so that the collected room temperature reflects the true temperature in the room as accurately as possible. If necessary, the number of room temperature sensors in each room can be greater than one; that is, the current room temperature can be obtained by averaging the temperatures collected by multiple temperature sensors located at different sampling points in the room using a certain calculation method.

[0051] The indoor humidity sensor 2 can be a sensor commonly used in the field for monitoring gas humidity, installed in an appropriate location in the corresponding room, or it can be an integrated temperature and humidity sensor.

[0052] The room occupancy sensor 3 can be a common sensor in the field for monitoring the number of people in a room, including an infrared sensor for monitoring the number of people entering and exiting the room, or a WIFI connection device number sensor for approximating the number of people in the room by monitoring the number of electronic devices in the room. For rooms with multiple entrances and exits, if the method of monitoring the number of people entering and exiting the room is used to collect the current number of people in the room, a room occupancy sensor should be installed at each entrance and exit to ensure that the collected number of people in the room is consistent with the actual number of people in the room. For the WIFI connection device number sensor for approximating the number of people in the room by monitoring the number of electronic devices in the room, a more detailed method should be used to determine the number of people in the room based on the number of connected devices, such as the type of connected devices, time, signal strength, etc. When calculating the number of people based on the number of devices, a reasonable calculation should be made based on the actual situation in the building.

[0053] The outdoor temperature and humidity sensor 7, outdoor radiation intensity sensor 8, and outdoor wind speed sensor 9 should be installed in their respective outdoor locations to ensure accurate data collection.

[0054] The data acquisition module 10 obtains indoor environmental parameters such as the number of people in the room corresponding to the multi-unit indoor unit, room temperature, and humidity, as well as outdoor environmental parameters such as outdoor temperature, humidity, and radiation intensity through the corresponding sensors, and sends them to the data processing module through the data transmission module.

[0055] The data transmission module 4 is connected to the data acquisition module 10, and can be wired or wireless. It can include technologies commonly used for data transmission, and its data transmission can be achieved through data interfaces commonly used in the field, such as RS458, Modbus, CAN, Bluetooth, NB, HBS, Zigbee, Ethernet, 4G, and 5G. Its connection with the data acquisition module and the data processing module can be either wired or wireless, but the stability of the data transmission process should be ensured.

[0056] The data processing and analysis module 5 is connected to the data transmission module 4, including wired or wireless methods, to run the multi-split air conditioning system optimization control and building unit energy efficiency assessment method program;

[0057] In the data processing and analysis module 5, based on the peak-shaving target of the virtual power plant, the demand response of the current building air conditioning system is determined, and the boundary value of the room temperature is determined. Under the premise of meeting the thermal comfort of the human body in the room, corresponding technical means are adopted to obtain the optimized room setting temperature of the current multi-split indoor unit. This temperature can be used for the actual temperature setting of the multi-split unit. In multi-split systems that do not follow the optimized temperature setting, the optimized temperature can also be compared with the actual room temperature obtained by the room temperature sensor to obtain the energy efficiency of the current room temperature. The energy efficiency evaluation indicators of all rooms are ranked and the energy efficiency evaluation result of the current room is obtained.

[0058] The data processing and analysis module 5 uses a high-performance microprocessor and supports the Linux system. It can perform calculations on the collected data to optimize the control of multi-split air conditioning systems and assess the energy efficiency of individual buildings. The calculation results can be displayed in a visual way or sent to other visualization terminals through various means.

[0059] Outliers in the data transmitted by data transmission module 5 are removed using mathematical methods to prevent them from affecting the accuracy of the final evaluation result. For data collected over a continuous period of time, since the evaluation frequency should be lower than the sensor acquisition frequency, the data transmitted by the data transmission module and the data collected by the acquisition module during the evaluation time interval are processed using methods including, but not limited to, averaging, so that the final evaluation data can more accurately reflect the actual parameters of the room during this period. A built-in clock should be provided to obtain the current time zone.

[0060] The data processing and analysis module 5 includes parameters preset based on building information, in addition to the real-time parameters collected by sensors, required for the multi-split air conditioning system optimization control and building unit energy efficiency assessment method. These parameters include relevant parameters for each room in the building and relevant information of the multi-split system.

[0061] The relevant parameters for the room include the room type, the corresponding thermal comfort requirements for the room type, and the changes in the room type over time; the relevant information for the multi-split system should include the energy consumption model of the current multi-split system with room temperature as the input parameter.

[0062] The room type should be determined based on the main activities of the people in the room, such as gym, office, activity room, etc., because the purpose of determining the room type is to adjust the baseline temperature for the corresponding room assessment based on the current thermal comfort requirements of the people in the room. Considering that a room is not limited to a specific purpose, the room type can change over time. For example, the room type can be different at different times of the day or at a certain time of the year.

[0076] In the formula, T opt,min T opt,maxTo optimize the lower and upper bounds of the temperature, f1(P) ac,t f2(P) ac,t This is a function that takes the current target power of the air conditioner as input parameters and the upper and lower limits of the room set temperature as output parameters.

[0077] Preferably, the method for setting the upper and lower limits of the temperature is as follows: in summer, the power of the multi-split air conditioner increases as the set temperature decreases; in winter, the power of the multi-split air conditioner increases as the set temperature increases.

[0078] When setting the upper and lower limits of the temperature, the upper limit of the set temperature for multi-split air conditioners in summer can be set through expert strategies, while the lower limit is obtained based on the temperature-power model to obtain the temperature set value at the current maximum power; the upper and lower limits of the temperature in winter are set in the opposite way.

[0083] Preferably, the step of obtaining the optimal set temperature for each room, considering human thermal comfort, further includes: establishing a thermal comfort index model for the room, which represents the thermal comfort of the human body in the current room.
