Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to, and in particular to, a method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium for controlling energy consumption in photovoltaic air conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic air conditioning refers to an air conditioning system directly driven by photovoltaic (PV) power generation, which can effectively utilize PV power to reduce building air conditioning energy consumption and grid load. However, PV power generation is unstable due to variations in solar irradiance. Most existing building air conditioning systems are based on fixed temperatures and employ a "full-time, full-space" global control mode, resulting in low real-time energy matching between PV power generation and building air conditioning power consumption. In reality, people's air conditioning usage behavior varies in time and space across different functional rooms within a building, and their thermal comfort needs also differ. The fixed-temperature, "full-time, full-space" global control mode ignores these temporal and spatial differences in air conditioning usage behavior, leading to low real-time energy matching between PV power generation and building air conditioning power consumption. To address real-time power fluctuations, direct-drive PV air conditioning systems typically require batteries or grid connection. However, battery investment is high, and frequent power extraction from or supplying to the grid puts excessive strain on the grid. Compared with the "all-time, all-space" mode, the "partial-time, partial-space" mode is adopted based on the spatiotemporal patterns of people using air conditioning indoors, and the thermal comfort temperature range is considered for building air conditioning power control. This fully utilizes the differences in the time people stay in different functional rooms, the differences in personnel density, and the differences in the level of thermal comfort needs of personnel, so as to achieve time-sharing and zone-based fine control of the air conditioning system. The air conditioning energy consumption will have greater flexibility and adjustment potential to respond to the fluctuations in photovoltaic power generation.

[0003] Therefore, how to comprehensively consider the spatiotemporal characteristics of people in the room and the hierarchical classification of indoor thermal comfort needs to improve the self-generation and self-use of photovoltaic air conditioning energy, thereby achieving real-time energy matching of the system, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic air conditioning energy control method, device, equipment, and storage medium. This method can establish a photovoltaic air conditioning activation probability model based on information such as the activity patterns and dwell time of people in different rooms at different times. This can improve the local consumption rate of photovoltaic power generation and the energy saving rate of air conditioning, with low investment cost and good results. The specific solution is as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a photovoltaic air conditioning energy consumption control method, including:

[0006] Based on the activity patterns, duration of stay, and number of people in different rooms, establish a probability model for the activation of photovoltaic air conditioners at different times;

[0007] When each of the photovoltaic air conditioners operates using only the electrical energy generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation, the target real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the preset main activity area room is calculated based on the power of each photovoltaic air conditioner and indoor and outdoor conditions, combined with the activation probability model.

[0008] The power of the photovoltaic air conditioner is controlled based on the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the target real-time indoor temperature, and the activation probability model.

[0009] Optionally, the step of establishing a probability model for the activation of photovoltaic air conditioners at different times based on the activity patterns, duration of stay, and number of people in different rooms includes:

[0010] Based on the Markov chain model, preset thermal comfort requirements are generated for different rooms according to the activity patterns, duration of stay and number of people in different rooms; the preset thermal comfort requirements include thermal comfort temperature range and thermal comfort duration.

[0011] Based on the preset thermal comfort requirements, a probability model for the activation of photovoltaic air conditioners at different times is established.

[0012] Optionally, when each of the photovoltaic air conditioners operates solely using electricity generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation, calculating the target real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the preset main activity area room based on the power of each photovoltaic air conditioner and indoor and outdoor conditions, combined with the activation probability model, includes:

[0013] When each of the photovoltaic air conditioners operates using only the electrical energy generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation, the first real-time indoor temperature of each room is predicted based on the power of the photovoltaic air conditioner and indoor and outdoor conditions.

[0014] Establish a correlation model between the first real-time indoor temperature and the indoor and outdoor conditions;

[0015] The second real-time indoor temperature corresponding to each room is calculated based on the association model and the opening probability model, and the target real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the room in the preset main activity area is selected from the second real-time indoor temperature corresponding to each room.

[0016] Optionally, controlling the power of the photovoltaic air conditioner based on a preset thermal comfort temperature range, the target real-time indoor temperature, and the activation probability model includes:

[0017] Determine whether the target real-time indoor temperature is within the preset thermal comfort temperature range;

[0018] If the target real-time indoor temperature is less than the lower limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, then the photovoltaic air conditioner with a probability of zero corresponding to the activation probability model will be turned on.

[0019] If the target real-time indoor temperature is greater than the upper limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, then the photovoltaic air conditioner with a probability lower than the preset activation probability corresponding to the activation probability model will be turned off.

[0020] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0021] Recalculate the third real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the preset main activity area room;

[0022] If the third real-time indoor temperature is less than the lower limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the power consumption of the photovoltaic air conditioner corresponding to the preset main activity area room is reduced to form a corresponding real-time power generation surplus, and the real-time power generation surplus is stored according to the preset energy storage method.

[0023] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0024] Recalculate the fourth real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the preset main activity area room;

[0025] If the fourth real-time indoor temperature is greater than the upper limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, it is determined that the current power generated by all photovoltaic air conditioners through real-time photovoltaic power generation is insufficient, and the corresponding power gap is calculated.

[0026] Based on the power gap, the relevant photovoltaic air conditioning energy is supplemented by a preset power replenishment method so that the real-time indoor temperature of the room corresponding to the preset main activity area can be controlled within the preset thermal comfort temperature range within a preset time.

[0027] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0028] When the target real-time indoor temperature is less than the lower limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, if there is a target photovoltaic air conditioner with a zero probability of being turned on, the target real-time power generation corresponding to the target photovoltaic air conditioner is used to maintain the temperature of the target room where the target photovoltaic air conditioner is located within the corresponding preset thermal comfort temperature range, and then the real-time power generation margin of all photovoltaic air conditioners is calculated.

[0029] The real-time power generation capacity of all photovoltaic air conditioners is stored according to the preset energy storage method.

[0030] Secondly, this application provides a photovoltaic air conditioning energy control device, comprising:

[0031] The activation probability model building module is used to establish activation probability models for photovoltaic air conditioners at different times based on the activity patterns, duration of stay, and number of people in different rooms.

[0032] The temperature calculation module is used to calculate the target real-time indoor temperature of the room in the preset main activity area based on the power of each photovoltaic air conditioner and indoor and outdoor conditions, combined with the activation probability model, when each of the photovoltaic air conditioners is operating using only the electrical energy generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation.

[0033] The power control module is used to control the power of the photovoltaic air conditioner based on a preset thermal comfort temperature range, the target real-time indoor temperature, and the activation probability model.

[0034] Thirdly, this application provides an electronic device, comprising:

[0035] Memory, used to store computer programs;

[0036] A processor is used to execute the computer program to implement the photovoltaic air conditioning energy control method described above.

[0037] Fourthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium for storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the photovoltaic air conditioning energy control method described above.

[0038] Therefore, this application can establish a probability model for the activation of photovoltaic air conditioners at different times based on the activity patterns, duration of stay, and number of people in different rooms. Then, when each photovoltaic air conditioner operates solely using electricity generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation, the target real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the main activity area room is calculated based on the power of each photovoltaic air conditioner and indoor and outdoor conditions, combined with the activation probability model. Finally, the power of the photovoltaic air conditioners is controlled based on the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the target real-time indoor temperature, and the activation probability model. In this way, this application can establish an activation probability model for air conditioners based on information such as the activity patterns of people, and then control the photovoltaic air conditioners according to the thermal comfort temperature range of the main activity area room and the corresponding real-time indoor temperature. This improves the real-time energy matching of photovoltaic air conditioners, reduces dependence on supplementary power, and increases the local consumption rate of photovoltaic power generation and the energy saving rate of air conditioning.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a photovoltaic air conditioning energy consumption control method, including:

[0047] Step S11: Based on the activity patterns, duration of stay, and number of people in different rooms, establish a probability model for the activation of photovoltaic air conditioners at different times.

[0048] In this application, it is understood that because people spend varying amounts of time in different functional areas of a building, their thermal comfort needs also differ in different rooms. In a specific embodiment, this may include: generating preset thermal comfort requirement targets for different rooms based on a Markov chain model, considering the activity patterns, duration of stay, and number of people in each room; the preset thermal comfort requirement targets include a thermal comfort temperature range and a thermal comfort duration; and establishing a probability model for the activation of photovoltaic air conditioning at different times based on the preset thermal comfort requirement targets. Specifically, based on the Markov chain model, the activity purpose and duration of people in different functional areas of a building, as well as information such as the number of people, can be used to predict the activity patterns of people and generate corresponding preset thermal comfort demand targets for rooms at different time periods. It is understood that the temperature at which people feel comfortable indoors is not a fixed value, but rather exists within a temperature range. Therefore, the preset thermal comfort temperature range and duration in the preset thermal comfort demand targets can be determined based on the activity time of people. In specific embodiments, thermal comfort levels (levels distinguished by different temperature ranges) can also be included. Furthermore, the Markov chain model can be introduced to characterize the activity patterns of people in different functional areas, considering the differences in the time people stay and the differences in personnel density, and combining this with the preset thermal comfort demand targets to establish a model of the activation probability of the air conditioning system in different rooms at different times. In a specific embodiment, the cooling conditions of the air conditioning in areas where people stay for short periods should be 1-2°C higher than those in areas where people stay for long periods. In another specific embodiment, when there are many people in the office area, the probability of people staying in the meeting room is lower. At this time, the thermal comfort needs of people in the office area should be met as much as possible, while the air conditioning energy consumption in other areas can be used to adjust the overall air conditioning power consumption to match the real-time photovoltaic power generation.

[0049] Step S12: When each of the photovoltaic air conditioners operates using only the electrical energy generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation, calculate the target real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the preset main activity area room based on the power of each photovoltaic air conditioner and indoor and outdoor conditions, combined with the activation probability model.

[0050] Furthermore, it can be determined whether the electricity generated solely by the photovoltaic power generation of the photovoltaic air conditioner is sufficient to meet the preset thermal comfort requirements for different rooms. In this application, when the photovoltaic air conditioner operates solely on the electricity generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation, the target real-time indoor temperature for the preset main activity area room can be calculated based on the power of each photovoltaic air conditioner, considering indoor and outdoor conditions and the corresponding air conditioner activation probability model. It is understood that indoor and outdoor conditions affect the real-time photovoltaic power generation. Due to the instability of solar irradiance, it is necessary to comprehensively consider indoor and outdoor conditions and the usage of each photovoltaic air conditioner according to the activation probability model. This allows for a more reasonable calculation of the target real-time indoor temperature for the preset main activity area room.

[0051] Step S13: Control the power of the photovoltaic air conditioner based on the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the target real-time indoor temperature, and the activation probability model.

[0052] In this application, the usage of different air conditioners can be adjusted in a timely manner based on the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the target real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the preset main activity area room, and the corresponding air conditioner activation probability model, so as to ensure that the preset main activity area room always meets the preset thermal comfort requirements.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, controlling the power of the photovoltaic air conditioner based on the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the target real-time indoor temperature, and the activation probability model may include: determining whether the target real-time indoor temperature is within the preset thermal comfort temperature range; if the target real-time indoor temperature is less than the lower limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, then activating the photovoltaic air conditioner with a probability of zero corresponding to the activation probability model; if the target real-time indoor temperature is greater than the upper limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, then deactivating the photovoltaic air conditioner with a probability lower than the preset activation probability corresponding to the activation probability model. Specifically, determining whether the target real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the room in the preset main activity area is within the preset thermal comfort temperature range; if the target real-time indoor temperature is less than the lower limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, it indicates that the power of the photovoltaic air conditioner in the corresponding main activity area is too high, and the real-time power generation of all photovoltaic air conditioners is surplus; therefore, those photovoltaic air conditioners with an activation probability of zero can be activated, thus utilizing the surplus real-time power generation of more air conditioners, relatively reducing the power consumption of the photovoltaic air conditioners corresponding to the room in the preset main activity area, to ensure that the target real-time indoor temperature of the room in the preset main activity area rises to within the preset thermal comfort temperature range. Correspondingly, if the target real-time indoor temperature is greater than the upper limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, it means that the real-time power generation of all photovoltaic air conditioners is insufficient, resulting in a power shortage. At this time, photovoltaic air conditioners with an activation probability lower than the preset activation probability can be turned off, such as those with an activation probability of less than 30%. This can avoid the power consumption of those unimportant photovoltaic air conditioners and relatively increase the power consumption of photovoltaic air conditioners in the main activity area to ensure that the target real-time indoor temperature of the rooms in the main activity area is within the preset thermal comfort temperature range.

[0054] In another specific embodiment, after turning on the photovoltaic air conditioners with a probability of zero corresponding to the activation probability model, the process may further include: recalculating the third real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the preset main activity area room; if the third real-time indoor temperature is less than the lower limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, reducing the power consumption of the photovoltaic air conditioners corresponding to the preset main activity area room to form a corresponding real-time power generation surplus, and storing the real-time power generation surplus according to a preset energy storage method. Specifically, after turning on those photovoltaic air conditioners with a probability of zero activation when the temperature of the preset main activity area room is lower than the lower limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the third real-time indoor temperature of the preset main activity area room can be recalculated after a period of waiting. If the temperature at this time is still less than the lower limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, it indicates that the real-time power generation of all photovoltaic air conditioners fully supports the use of all photovoltaic air conditioners, and there is still a real-time power generation surplus. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring that the temperature of the preset main activity area room is within the preset thermal comfort range, the real-time power generation surplus can be stored through a preset energy storage method; for example, the excess power can be stored through a battery, or the power generation surplus can be input into the power grid.

[0055] Accordingly, in specific embodiments, the method may further include: when the target real-time indoor temperature is lower than the lower limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, if there is a target photovoltaic air conditioner with a zero probability of activation, the target real-time power generation corresponding to the target photovoltaic air conditioner is used to maintain the temperature of the target room where the target photovoltaic air conditioner is located within the corresponding preset thermal comfort temperature range, and then the real-time power generation surplus of all photovoltaic air conditioners is calculated; the real-time power generation surplus of all photovoltaic air conditioners is saved according to a preset energy storage method. Specifically, after the target photovoltaic air conditioner is activated, if the temperature of the room corresponding to the target photovoltaic air conditioner is also lower than the lower limit of the corresponding preset thermal comfort temperature range, it indicates that the real-time photovoltaic power generation of the photovoltaic air conditioner is much greater than the real-time power consumption of all photovoltaic air conditioners, and the power generation of the photovoltaic air conditioner can completely cover the power consumption, or even have a surplus. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring that the temperature of all rooms is within the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the real-time power generation surplus of all photovoltaic air conditioners can be calculated, and then these power generation surpluses can be saved through a preset energy storage method. Furthermore, if the temperature of all rooms can be within the preset thermal comfort temperature range, a dynamic balance between the real-time power generation and power consumption of the photovoltaic air conditioner can be achieved. At this time, the corresponding air conditioner temperature control command can be executed to achieve dynamic adjustment of the energy consumption of the photovoltaic air conditioner.

[0056] In another specific embodiment, after shutting down the photovoltaic air conditioners whose activation probability is lower than the second activation probability according to the activation probability model, the process may further include: recalculating the fourth real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the preset main activity area room; if the fourth real-time indoor temperature is greater than the upper limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, it is determined that the current power generated by all photovoltaic air conditioners through real-time photovoltaic power generation is insufficient, and the corresponding power gap is calculated; based on the power gap, the energy consumption of the relevant photovoltaic air conditioners is supplemented through a preset power supplementation method, so as to control the real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the preset main activity area room within the preset thermal comfort temperature range within a preset time. Specifically, when the temperature of the preset main activity area room is greater than the upper limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, after shutting down those photovoltaic air conditioners whose activation probability is lower than the preset activation probability, a period of time can be waited for the fourth real-time indoor temperature of the preset main activity area room to be recalculated. If the fourth real-time indoor temperature is still greater than the upper limit of the preset thermal comfort temperature range, it indicates that the real-time power generation of all photovoltaic air conditioners cannot meet the use of the photovoltaic air conditioners corresponding to each main activity area room, that is, the current power generated solely through real-time photovoltaic power generation is insufficient; therefore, the corresponding power gap can be calculated to supplement the air conditioning energy consumption through a preset power supplementation method. For example, supplementing the air conditioner's power supply with a battery or with mains power.

[0057] Therefore, this application can consider the differences in thermal comfort needs, dwell time, and density of people in different functional rooms at different times and in different zones, and classify the thermal comfort needs of different functional rooms in different indoor buildings. At the same time, a Markov chain model is introduced to characterize the spatiotemporal characteristics of people, and the photovoltaic air conditioning is controlled by time and zone according to the real-time photovoltaic power generation. This can improve the dynamic balance between photovoltaic air conditioning power generation and electricity consumption, and reduce the dependence on batteries and the power grid.

[0058] See Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a photovoltaic air conditioning energy consumption control method, including:

[0059] Step S21: Based on the activity patterns, duration of stay, and number of people in different rooms, establish a probability model for the activation of photovoltaic air conditioners at different times.

[0060] Step S22: When each of the photovoltaic air conditioners operates using only the electrical energy generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation, predict the first real-time indoor temperature of each room based on the power of the photovoltaic air conditioner and indoor and outdoor conditions.

[0061] In this embodiment, when each photovoltaic air conditioner operates solely using the computer generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation, the first real-time indoor temperature of each room can be predicted based on the power output of the photovoltaic air conditioner and indoor and outdoor conditions. It is understood that this allows for the statistical analysis of the relationship between indoor and outdoor conditions and the temperature of each room based solely on the internal circulation of the photovoltaic air conditioner's power output, without the aid of batteries or the power grid.

[0062] Step S23: Establish a correlation model between the first real-time indoor temperature and the indoor and outdoor conditions.

[0063] Accordingly, based on the relationship between the first real-time indoor temperature of each room and the corresponding indoor and outdoor conditions obtained in step S22 above, a corresponding correlation model can be established. It can be understood that, based on this correlation model, the relationship between the electricity consumption of a photovoltaic air conditioner in a certain room and the real-time photovoltaic power generation of all photovoltaic air conditioners can be obtained under certain specific indoor and outdoor conditions.

[0064] Step S24: Calculate the second real-time indoor temperature corresponding to each room based on the association model and the opening probability model, and select the target real-time indoor temperature corresponding to the room in the preset main activity area from the second real-time indoor temperature corresponding to each room.

[0065] Furthermore, the second real-time indoor temperature of each room can be calculated based on the correlation model between indoor and outdoor conditions and indoor temperature, and the activation probability model of each photovoltaic air conditioner. It can be understood that the second real-time indoor temperature is also the temperature of each room under the premise that the photovoltaic air conditioners only use the corresponding real-time photovoltaic power generation. Then, the target real-time indoor temperature of the preset main activity area rooms can be selected. It can be understood that, in most cases, it is possible to ensure that only the temperature of the preset main activity area rooms is within the preset thermal comfort temperature range, and appropriately reduce the energy consumption of photovoltaic air conditioners in other rooms.

[0066] Step S25: Control the power of the photovoltaic air conditioner based on the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the target real-time indoor temperature, and the activation probability model.

[0067] For more detailed processing of steps S21 and S25, please refer to the relevant content disclosed in the foregoing embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0068] Therefore, this embodiment of the application can establish a correlation model between temperature and indoor and outdoor conditions based on indoor and outdoor conditions and the temperatures of different rooms under the corresponding conditions. Then, the temperature of each room can be calculated based on this correlation model and the activation probability model of the photovoltaic air conditioner. Furthermore, the energy consumption of the relevant photovoltaic air conditioner can be dynamically adjusted based on whether the temperature of the room in the preset main activity area is within the preset thermal comfort temperature range. This adopts a "partial time, partial space" air conditioning control mode and considers the thermal comfort temperature range of the human body in different functional areas, which greatly improves the real-time energy matching of the photovoltaic air conditioner, reduces the dependence on batteries and the power grid, improves economic efficiency, and reduces the burden on the power grid.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a photovoltaic air conditioning energy consumption control method, including:

[0070] In this embodiment, the following data can be obtained first: thermal inertia parameters of the target building, air conditioning operating frequency of different functional rooms within the building, thermal comfort temperature range of different functional areas, air conditioning energy consumption behavior data, room heat gain at time t, and indoor temperature at time t-1. Then, the real-time photovoltaic power generation of the photovoltaic air conditioning system at time t and the theoretical air conditioning output data of each photovoltaic air conditioning system are statistically analyzed. Next, based on the previously obtained data, the expected indoor temperature Tn of each functional room (preset main activity area room) under 100% photovoltaic power generation consumption conditions is calculated. Furthermore, it can be determined whether Tn is within the thermal comfort temperature range, and then the energy consumption of the relevant photovoltaic air conditioning systems can be controlled and adjusted.

[0071] Specifically, if Tn is within the thermal comfort temperature range, then the current state is considered an energy matching moment, indicating that the real-time photovoltaic power generation can meet the needs of the photovoltaic air conditioner, thus maintaining the existing air conditioning behavior mode. Conversely, if Tn is less than the lower limit of the thermal comfort temperature range, other photovoltaic air conditioners can be further controlled to ensure that the temperature in the main activity area is within the thermal comfort temperature range. Specifically, photovoltaic air conditioners with a zero probability of activation in certain rooms can be turned on, and the minimum indoor temperature Tn that the current real-time photovoltaic power generation can provide in these rooms can be calculated. Then, it is determined whether this new Tn is within the thermal comfort temperature range. If so, it indicates that the photovoltaic air conditioners are currently in an energy matching phase, and relevant air conditioning temperature control commands can be executed, maintaining the current air conditioning behavior mode. Conversely, if there are no photovoltaic air conditioners with a zero probability of activation, the power generation margin of all photovoltaic air conditioners can be directly calculated and stored through batteries or the power grid. Furthermore, if the new Tn is not within the thermal comfort temperature range, either too low or too high, the power generation margin of all photovoltaic air conditioners can be calculated and stored, provided that the temperature in the main activity area is within the thermal comfort temperature range.

[0072] Correspondingly, if the predicted indoor temperature Tn of each functional room under 100% photovoltaic power generation conditions is not within the thermal comfort temperature range, but is not lower than the lower limit of the thermal comfort temperature range (i.e., higher than the upper limit), then it can be determined whether there are photovoltaic air conditioners (on-demand) with an activation probability of less than 0.3 (30%). If so, the relevant photovoltaic air conditioners can be turned off, and then the new temperature Tn of the main activity area room can be recalculated. If the new Tn is less than the upper limit of the thermal comfort temperature range, it indicates that there is an energy match between real-time photovoltaic power generation and the power consumption of photovoltaic air conditioners, and the relevant air conditioning temperature control command can be executed. Furthermore, if there are no air conditioners with an on / off probability of less than 0.3 (in the on / off state), the power deficit of the photovoltaic air conditioners can be directly calculated to ensure that the temperature of the main activity area room is within the thermal comfort temperature range. This deficit can be supplemented by mains power or batteries. Conversely, if the temperature of the main activity area room is still higher than the upper limit of the thermal comfort temperature range after a period of time after turning off those air conditioners with an on / off probability of less than 0.3, the power deficit that needs to be supplemented to ensure that the temperature of the main activity area room is within the thermal comfort temperature range can be calculated and supplemented by mains power or batteries.

[0073] Therefore, this application can take into account indoor and outdoor conditions, temperature requirements of the main activity area rooms, and the probability of each photovoltaic air conditioner being turned on, so as to reasonably control the energy consumption of each photovoltaic air conditioner, fully explore the flexibility potential of building air conditioning to absorb real-time photovoltaic power generation fluctuations, effectively improve the self-consumption rate of photovoltaic air conditioning energy, and reduce the dependence on batteries and the power grid while achieving real-time energy matching of the system.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a photovoltaic air conditioning energy control device, including:

[0075] The activation probability model establishment module 11 is used to establish the activation probability model of photovoltaic air conditioners at different times based on the activity patterns, stay duration and number of people in different rooms.

[0076] Temperature calculation module 12 is used to calculate the target real-time indoor temperature of the room in the preset main activity area based on the power of each photovoltaic air conditioner and indoor and outdoor conditions, combined with the activation probability model, when each of the photovoltaic air conditioners only uses the electrical energy generated by real-time photovoltaic power generation to work.

[0077] The power control module 13 is used to control the power of the photovoltaic air conditioner based on the preset thermal comfort temperature range, the target real-time indoor temperature, and the activation probability model.

[0078] Therefore, this application can establish a probability model for air conditioning activation based on information such as the activity patterns of people in different rooms. Then, it can control the photovoltaic air conditioning based on the thermal comfort temperature range of the main activity area room and the corresponding real-time indoor temperature. This can improve the real-time energy matching of photovoltaic air conditioning, reduce dependence on supplementary power, and increase the local consumption rate of photovoltaic power generation and the energy saving rate of air conditioning.

[0079] In one specific embodiment, the activation probability model establishment module 11 may include:
