Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a central air-conditioning fine control method based on double-layer optimization, and belongs to the technical field of air-conditioning load control. Background Art
[0002] As total electricity demand continues to climb, the imbalance between power supply and demand is a major challenge facing the power system, particularly during the peak summer season, when power shortages are significant. According to incomplete statistics, in recent years, summer air conditioning loads in some first-tier cities have exceeded 50% of the total social load, significantly widening the peak-to-valley load differential in summer and further exacerbating the power system's supply-demand imbalance. Air conditioning loads have a certain degree of thermal inertia. By regulating air conditioning loads, power can be reduced quickly while indoor temperatures change slowly over time. This allows for rapid response to grid-side dispatch with minimal impact on user comfort.
[0003] Compared to decentralized standalone air conditioners, central air conditioners are primarily used in public buildings. They offer a larger load capacity and greater adjustability, while adjusting central air conditioners in public buildings does not significantly impact public electricity consumption. Central air conditioner loads are primarily concentrated in winter and summer. Simply increasing the capacity of the transmission and distribution network to meet these brief peaks would require significant financial, material, and human resources.
[0004] Existing research on central air conditioning's participation in demand-side response mostly focuses on the top-level design of air conditioning's participation in grid peak regulation and air conditioning control at the grid level. Central air conditioning control is mostly extensive, for example, on-off control and periodic start-stop control, which cannot really pay attention to user comfort, have high operating energy consumption, and pay less attention to the coordinated control between the various subsystems within the central air conditioning. The control accuracy is poor and cannot truly release the regulation potential of central air conditioning.
[0005] The above problems are issues that should be considered and solved in the process of fine-grained control of central air conditioning based on double-layer optimization. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a central air-conditioning fine control method based on double-layer optimization to solve the problems in the prior art of using extensive control, not really paying attention to the user's comfort, and requiring reduction of operating energy consumption.
[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is:
[0008] A method for fine-tuning central air conditioning based on double-layer optimization includes the following steps:

[0011] S3. Use the Shapley value method, i.e., the Shapley value method, to allocate the proportion of comfort and economy of the upper-layer model for refined control of central air-conditioning, and calculate the total central air-conditioning cooling capacity;
[0012] S4. Establish a lower-layer model for refined control of central air-conditioning, including a load control model for the terminal fan subsystem, a load control model for the chilled water pump subsystem, a load control model for the chiller subsystem, and a load control model for the cooling water pump subsystem;
[0013] S5. Establish a two-layer optimization model composed of the upper-layer model and the lower-layer model for refined control of central air-conditioning, and use the ant colony algorithm to optimize the two-layer optimization model to obtain a refined control scheme for central air-conditioning.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, to establish a building temperature scale model and a building humidity scale model, specifically,
[0015] S11. Establish the building temperature scale model as: λ T_PMV = β1(T in - T c ), where λ T_PMV is the building temperature scale, T in is the indoor temperature, and β1 is the temperature coefficient;
[0016] S12. Establish the building humidity scale model as: λ W_PMV = β2|m*T in |(W in - W c ), where λ W_PMV is the building humidity scale, W in is the indoor humidity, m is the influence factor of temperature on humidity, representing the influence degree of different temperatures on humidity comfort in different building environments, and β2 is the humidity coefficient.
[0017] Furthermore, in step S1, the comfort range is formulated as λ T_PMV ∈[-2, 2] and λ W_PMV ∈[-2, 2], λ T_PMV =-2 and λ W_PMV =-2 are the lowest comfort levels of the indoor environment, λ T_PMV =-0 and λ W_PMV =-0 are the best comfort levels of the indoor environment, λT_PMV = 2 and λ W_PMV = 2 represents the highest comfort level in the indoor environment, and λ T_PMV , λ W_PMV are all dimensionless constant values.
[0018] Furthermore, in step S2, an upper-layer model for refined control of the central air conditioner is established, including a central air conditioner control model with the best comfort level and a central air conditioner control model with the minimum operating cost. Specifically,
[0019] Establish an upper-layer model for refined control of the central air conditioner:
[0020] minC = Y1C c + Y2C m
[0021] where C is the upper-layer objective function, Y1 and Y2 are the economic distribution coefficient and the comfort distribution coefficient respectively, C c is the economic objective function, and C m is the comfort objective function;

[0029]
[0030] where T max , T min are the upper and lower limits of the set temperature respectively, and W max , W min are the upper and lower limits of the set humidity respectively.
[0031] Furthermore, in step S3, the Shapley value method is used to allocate the proportion of comfort and economy in the upper-layer model for refined control of the central air conditioner. Specifically,
[0032] The objective function of the upper layer model for the refined control of central air conditioning includes two sub-objective members: the central air conditioning control objective model with the best comfort and the central air conditioning control objective model with the minimum operating cost. Different sub-objectives form different coalitions s. When sub-objective member i participates in the objective function of the upper layer model, there are (|s|-1)! permutation methods. Among them, |s| is the number of sub-objectives included in coalition s, and the remaining (n-|s|) members have (n-|s|)! permutation orders. The distribution coefficient of the sub-objective to the objective function of the upper layer model for the refined control of central air conditioning is:
[0033]
[0034] where N is the number of sets, n is the number of members, y(s) is the characteristic function of coalition s, representing the maximum benefit achieved by coalition s through the mutual cooperation of each objective, and y(s / i) is the benefit obtained after removing the main body i from subset s.
[0035] Furthermore, in step S3, calculate the total central air conditioning cooling capacity, specifically,
[0036] Q th (t) = Q S (t) + Q L (t) = (T out (t) - T set (t))G a + Q m (t) + Q s (t) + k(W in - W set )
[0037] where Q th (t) is the total cooling capacity, Q S (t) is the sensible heat, Q L (t) is the latent heat, T out is the outdoor temperature, G a is the building thermal conductivity, Q m (t) is the heat dissipated by people and equipment, Q s (t) is the solar radiation heat, k is the vaporization heat conductivity coefficient, t represents the time, W in is the indoor humidity, W set is the set temperature.

Specifically,
[0039] The lower layer model for the refined control of central air conditioning is established as:
