Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an online calibration method for sensors in a variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning system based on a physical model. It is an online calibration method for VAV air conditioning systems with rich information and different types of sensor faults, and belongs to the field of underlying sensor data processing technology for building energy consumption monitoring systems. Background Technology

[0002] With continuous economic and social development and the accelerating pace of urbanization, a large influx of people into cities has placed immense pressure on urban areas where land is extremely scarce. High-rise buildings have become the primary choice for alleviating housing pressure and addressing land scarcity. As building structures become increasingly complex, variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning systems are also becoming more complex. Statistics show that VAV air conditioning systems are widely used in residential and commercial buildings, industrial plants, and data centers, consuming significant amounts of energy; for example, the energy consumption of VAV air conditioning systems in buildings typically accounts for 50-60% of the total building energy consumption. To address the high energy consumption of building systems, various control methods are commonly used for intelligent regulation, such as continuous fine-tuning, analysis and optimization, fault detection and diagnosis based on building automation systems. Extensive research in this area has been conducted both domestically and internationally. In practice, the detection and control of VAV air conditioning systems rely heavily on monitoring data from various sensors within the system. Therefore, the accuracy of sensor measurements is crucial for the intelligent control of building systems. Currently, various methods and measures are being used to diagnose sensor faults, thereby improving the accuracy of sensor measurements. However, these methods and measures face two practical problems in the calibration process: 1) Focusing only on a single fault: Building energy systems are complex, with interconnected sensors. During operation, due to chain reactions, a fault in one sensor can lead to the failure of several others. Research on the diagnosis of concurrent faults in multiple sensors is currently scarce. 2) Existing sensor fault diagnosis methods focus only on diagnosis and do not address repair. After a period of operation, variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning systems will inevitably experience varying degrees of sensor drift. How to further repair the system after successful diagnosis is a crucial issue that must be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on the above problems, this invention combines historical data and the physical model of the system (some basic theorems such as energy conservation, pressure and flow conservation) to provide an online calibration method for sensors in a variable air volume air conditioning system based on a physical model. This method calibrates the sensor offset caused by different working environments and aging without removing or installing new sensors.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] S1. Define multiple sets of steady-state measurement values ​​for the sensors in the variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning system. The specific steps are as follows:

[0007] S1.1 Determine the type and quantity of sensors to be installed in the variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning system;

[0008] S1.2. Based on the sensor type and quantity, obtain the original sensor measurement values ​​from the variable air volume air conditioning system monitoring platform and construct a measurement value matrix;

[0009] S1.3. Based on indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, clustering is used to cluster the measurement data datasets under different working conditions, thereby ensuring that the measurement data datasets under the same working conditions are in the same class.

[0010] S1.4 Randomly select data from the measurement data dataset under the same working conditions to form the steady-state measurement data dataset required for calibration;

[0011] S2. For the variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning system, the system sensors are modeled based on physical models such as energy conservation and pressure conservation, as well as the steady-state measurement values ​​obtained in S1. The specific steps are as follows:

[0012] S2.1 Energy Conservation Model 1: Under air conditioning operation, the fresh air ratio of the entire variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning system is controlled by adjusting the valve sizes of the fresh air valve and return air valve; at this time, the fresh air energy plus the return air energy equals the mixed air energy; based on the above analysis, energy equations for fresh air, return air, and mixed air are established; the fresh air energy equation is determined by the fresh air temperature.

Composition; Based on the fresh air ratio, establish the energy conservation equations for fresh air, mixed air, and return air;

[0013] S2.2 Energy Conservation Model 2: Under summer operating conditions, air flowing through the surface cooler exchanges heat fully with the chilled water in the coil. Assuming accurate sensor measurements, the heat carried away by the air should equal the heat lost by the chilled water. Based on the above analysis, energy conservation equations are established for both the air and chilled water sides. The air-side energy equation is determined by the air mixing temperature. T 2.

[0014] S2.3, Energy Conservation Model 3: Under summer operating conditions, the refrigerant in the chiller unit removes energy from the chilled water through heat exchange. Then, it is transported to the condenser by the compressor to exchange heat with the cooling water, which in turn removes energy from the refrigerant, thus maintaining the refrigerant's previous state. Therefore, the energy conservation equation at this time is that the energy of the chilled water plus the compressor power consumption equals the energy of the cooling water. Based on the above analysis, energy conservation equations are established for both the chilled water side and the cooling water side. The energy equation for the chilled water side is determined by the chilled water supply temperature. T 5. Chilled water return temperature T 6 and chilled water flow rate M 2.

Based on the compressor power, establish the energy conservation equations for the chilled water side and the cooling water side;

[0015] S2.4 Pressure Difference and Flow Rate Conservation Model: According to fluid mechanics theory, there is a linear relationship between chilled water flow rate and the pressure difference it consumes; based on this relationship, a conservation model of chilled water flow rate and pressure difference is constructed; similarly, for cooling water in the calibration domain, a conservation model is also established based on the relationship between pressure difference and flow rate.

[0028] Acceptance rate (6)

[0029] in, Let be the probability density function. Candidate samples generated from the probability density function, The previous candidate sample before the jump;

When the acceptance rate is greater than the threshold, accept the transfer and proceed to the next iteration until the preset number of iterations is reached; otherwise, keep the original value; perform statistics on all samples that meet the condition of having an acceptance rate greater than the threshold and obtain the mean of these samples.

[0031] S3.6. Through S3.1-S3.5, obtain the average value of the offset of various types of sensors in each calibration domain, and then use the average value of these samples as the offset of the faulty sensor, add it to the original measurement value of the sensor, and realize the calibration of the fault of the sensor in different calibration domains.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides an online calibration method for different types of sensor faults that can effectively improve the data quality of variable air volume (VAV) air conditioning systems. It can calibrate all sensors in the VAV air conditioning system, and the accuracy of sensor measurements is greatly improved after calibration, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the sensor's underlying data, and making the VAV air conditioning system operate more reliably.
