AI Technical Summary
In air conditioning energy consumption prediction, existing technologies suffer from insufficient sample data, especially for newly built or significantly renovated buildings. Insufficient initial data or data gaps lead to insufficient samples, resulting in overfitting of training network parameters. A single transfer learning strategy is unable to cope with the distribution differences under different building types and climatic conditions, thus affecting the prediction results.
A multi-source transfer learning framework is adopted. By introducing a model-level regularization function into the objective function, the differences between multiple source domains are quantified, the parameters of the transfer learning model are dynamically adjusted, the base prediction model is trained using multiple source domain datasets, and the transfer model is built in the target domain. The weights of the regularization term are adjusted by combining gradient descent optimization and cross-validation to achieve knowledge sharing and model generalization.
It improves the accuracy and generalization performance of air conditioning energy consumption prediction under scarce sample conditions, provides an effective solution, and provides a reference for large-scale coordinated and normalized adjustment of building flexible loads.
