Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 1A flow chart of an air conditioning unit energy consumption optimization control method in an embodiment is shown, and the method comprises:
[0061] S101: Evaluate the similarity between the external environment parameters and the current environment parameters using the cosine similarity.
[0062] In some embodiments, the similarity between the two environment parameters is evaluated based on the cosine similarity, that is, the distance between the external environment parameter vector and the current environment parameter vector is measured by calculating the cosine of the angle between them.
[0063] In the air conditioning unit energy consumption optimization control of the present embodiment, temperature, humidity, and light can be regarded as two vectors of external environment parameters and current environment parameters, and the cosine similarity formula is used to calculate the similarity between them.
[0064] Specifically, the external environment parameters and the current environment parameters to be evaluated are determined, which can include temperature, humidity, light intensity, wind speed, etc.
[0065] Since the value range and unit of the external environment parameters and the current environment parameters may be different, the external environment parameters and the current environment parameters are standardized to ensure the same weight when calculating the cosine similarity.
[0066] The external environment parameters and the current environment parameters are represented in vector form.
[0067] For example, based on temperature and humidity parameters, the external environment parameters can be represented as temperature and humidity vectors, and the current environment parameters can be represented as temperature and humidity vectors. The cosine similarity formula is used for calculation. That is, the external environment parameter vector and the current environment parameter vector are substituted into the cosine similarity formula to calculate the similarity value. The closer the similarity value is to 1, the more similar the two environment parameters are; the closer the similarity value is to -1, the less similar the two environment parameters are.
[0068] As can be seen, the cosine similarity evaluation of the environment parameters is intuitive and can effectively measure the similarity between the two environment parameters.
[0069] According to the calculated cosine similarity value, the similarity between the external environment parameters and the current environment parameters can be determined. If the similarity value exceeds a certain preset threshold, it can be considered that the two environment parameters are similar. If it is determined that the environment is similar, the historical control strategy can be referred to to develop the control strategy for the current environment to optimize the energy consumption of the air conditioning unit.
[0070] S102: Determine whether there are similar environment parameters. If there are similar environment parameters, go to step S103. If there are no similar environment parameters, go to step S105.
[0071] In some embodiments, the definition of similar environmental parameters is that the current environmental parameters have a high similarity with the external environmental parameters under the cosine similarity evaluation. The parameters include but are not limited to temperature, humidity, light intensity, etc., depending on the actual needs of air conditioning unit energy consumption optimization control.
[0072] In this embodiment, it is determined whether the current environment is similar to the historical environment, so as to decide whether to refer to the historical control strategy. If there are similar environmental parameters, the historical control strategy can be used to optimize the current control strategy, thereby improving the control efficiency and accuracy.
[0073] S103: It is determined whether there is a prior optimization record. If there is a prior optimization record, go to step S104; otherwise, it is determined that there is no prior optimization record, and go to step S105.
[0074] In some embodiments, the prior air conditioning unit energy consumption optimization record can include historical environmental parameters, historical control strategies, historical energy consumption data, etc. The data records the control strategies and energy consumption of the air conditioning unit under different environmental parameters, providing a reference for the subsequent formulation of the control strategy.
[0075] It should be noted that this embodiment determines whether there is a historical control record similar to the current environment, so as to decide whether to use historical experience to optimize the current control strategy. If there is a prior optimization record, the records can be used to guide the formulation of the current control strategy, thereby improving the control efficiency and accuracy.
[0076] S104: Prior optimization data is derived. The derived prior optimization data includes the swarm intelligence algorithm used in the prior period and the device configuration parameters searched in the prior period.
[0077] In some embodiments, the derived prior optimization data can include the swarm intelligence algorithm used in the prior period, the device configuration parameters such as fan speed and compressor power searched in the prior period, and corresponding energy consumption data, etc.
[0078] S105: The swarm intelligence algorithm and the optimization limit condition are initialized.
[0079] In some embodiments, the swarm intelligence algorithm plays an important role in the air conditioning unit energy consumption optimization control based on artificial intelligence. It can simulate the behavior of biological groups in nature, and find the optimal solution or approximate optimal solution through iteration and search. In the air conditioning unit energy consumption optimization control, the swarm intelligence algorithm can be used to search for the optimal device configuration parameters and control strategies to minimize energy consumption. The beneficial effects include improving the control efficiency and accuracy, and reducing the energy consumption and operating cost of the air conditioning unit.
[0080] S106: Step-by-step optimization is performed based on the swarm intelligence algorithm, and the optimal control parameters under the current external constraint environment are obtained.
[0081] In some embodiments, the process of step-by-step optimization based on swarm intelligence algorithm includes the steps of initializing a population, evaluating the fitness of the population, selecting excellent individuals, generating a new population, and iterative updating.
[0082] The swarm intelligence algorithm of the present embodiment generates a new population according to the current population and the fitness function, and iteratively updates until the end condition is met, that is, the maximum number of iterations is reached or the optimal solution is found.
[0083] The obtained optimal control parameters under the current external constraint environment include fan speed, compressor power, refrigerant flow rate, and other operating parameters of the air conditioning unit. The optimal solution or approximate optimal solution obtained by searching under the current external constraint environment through the swarm intelligence algorithm.
[0084] In this way, the present embodiment uses a swarm intelligence algorithm to search for optimal control parameters under the current external constraint environment to minimize the energy consumption of the air conditioning unit.
[0085] Optionally, the specific process of the present embodiment can include:
[0086] S1061: Initialize the population: generate a set of random air conditioning unit control parameters as the initial population.
[0087] S1062: Evaluate the fitness of the population: calculate the fitness value of each individual according to the current external constraint environment and the energy consumption model of the air conditioning unit.
[0088] S1063: Select excellent individuals: select a part of excellent individuals as parents according to the fitness value.
[0089] S1064: Generate a new population: generate a new population through operations such as crossover and mutation.
[0090] Iterative updating: repeat steps S1062-S1064 until the maximum number of iterations is reached or the optimal solution is found.
[0091] S107: The air conditioning unit operates according to the optimal control parameters under the current external constraint environment, and real-time reading of the air conditioning unit operating data is performed.
[0092] In some embodiments, the air conditioning unit operates according to the optimal control parameters of fan speed and compressor power searched in step S106. Through the control system, the execution mechanism of the air conditioning unit is delivered, thereby realizing accurate control of the operation of the air conditioning unit.
[0093] The optimal control parameters in the current external constraint environment include fan speed, compressor power, refrigerant flow, etc. The optimal solution or approximate optimal solution obtained by searching through the swarm intelligence algorithm in the current external constraint environment can ensure that the air conditioning unit minimizes energy consumption while meeting comfort requirements.
[0094] The embodiment can enable the air conditioning unit to operate according to the optimal control parameters to minimize energy consumption and maximize operating efficiency. The beneficial effects include improving the energy efficiency ratio and operating stability of the air conditioning unit, reducing energy consumption and operating costs, and improving user comfort and satisfaction.
[0095] For the embodiment, reading the optimal control parameters is to obtain the optimal control parameters from step S106. The optimal control parameters are sent to the actuators of the air conditioning unit through the control system. The actuators of the air conditioning unit adjust the operation according to the received control instructions. The operating state and energy consumption of the air conditioning unit are monitored in real time through the sensors.
[0096] S108: Determine whether the air conditioning unit operating data meets the end self-optimization condition. If it does, terminate the current self-optimization strategy and save the optimization record under the current environment.
[0097] In some embodiments, determining whether the air conditioning unit operating data meets the end self-optimization condition can include multiple aspects, such as whether the energy consumption reaches the preset target, whether the operating stability meets the requirements, whether the user comfort is guaranteed, etc.
[0098] The embodiment can specifically include the following steps:
[0099] S1081: Collect operating data.
[0100] The operating data of the air conditioning unit is collected through sensors and a control system.
[0101] S1082: Analyze operating data.
[0102] The collected operating data is processed and analyzed to evaluate indicators such as energy consumption, operating stability, and user comfort of the air conditioning unit.
[0103] S1083: Determine whether the conditions are met.
[0104] According to the preset end self-optimization condition, determine whether the current operating data meets the requirements.
[0105] The embodiment determines whether the air conditioning unit has achieved the expected control effect to decide whether to end the self-optimization process. This ensures that the air conditioning unit minimizes energy consumption while meeting comfort requirements, and avoids unnecessary control operations and energy waste.
[0106] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation methods of the above embodiments, in order to fully explain the specific implementation process of this embodiment and realize the operation of the air conditioning unit according to the lowest energy consumption strategy under different working environments, a more specific implementation process of the air conditioning unit energy consumption optimization control method is provided below. For example... Figure 2 As shown.
[0107] In some embodiments, the environmental parameters that are aggregated, processed, and analyzed are environmental data ( ), air conditioning unit operation data ( Electricity consumption data () ) and the range of setting parameters for air conditioning units ( ),in i This indicates a specific data type within this major category of data. t This indicates the data type at a specific point in time within this major category of data.
[0108] Specifically, environmental data refers to the environmental parameters inside and outside the building during the operation of the air conditioning unit, including but not limited to outdoor temperature and humidity sensor data, floor infrared radiation data, and camera-based human monitoring data.
[0109] Air conditioning unit operation data refers to the operation data generated by various devices during the operation of the air conditioning unit, including but not limited to ultrasonic flow meter sensor data, pressure transmitter sensor data, cooling water inlet and outlet water temperature sensor data, chilled water inlet and outlet water temperature sensor data, etc.
[0110] Electricity consumption data refers to the data of the main power-consuming equipment during the operation of the air conditioning unit, specifically the data generated by the three-phase electricity meters of each power-consuming device.
[0111] The settings parameters of an air conditioning unit refer to the reasonable controllable operating range of the adjustable parameters of each piece of equipment in a central air conditioning unit, including the operating combination of the air conditioning unit, the operating combination of the cooling tower, the parameter setting range of the chilled water supply and return water temperature, the parameter setting range of the chilled water pump frequency, the parameter setting range of the cooling water supply and return water temperature, and the parameter setting range of the cooling pump frequency.
[0112] An energy consumption sample can be constructed by combining environmental data, air conditioning unit operation data, and electricity consumption data, which can be expressed using formula (1):
[0113] (1)
[0114] The swarm intelligence algorithm in this embodiment may include three parts: a swarm intelligence algorithm library, a physical model constraint module, and a parameter autonomous optimization module.
[0115] Among them, the swarm intelligence algorithm library contains swarm intelligence algorithms.
[0116] Swarm intelligence algorithm is a kind of calculation model imitating the behavior of group creatures in nature, which is used to solve complex problems, especially non-convex optimization problems. Swarm intelligence algorithm can simulate the intelligent behavior of biological groups, and solve complex problems through simple interaction rules between individuals.
[0117] The embodiment realizes the lowest energy consumption on the basis of meeting user comfort through intelligent adjustment of each parameter of the air conditioning unit. However, considering that air conditioning intelligent adjustment involves comprehensive changes of the internal and external environment of the building, such optimization problem is difficult to express through explicit logical relationship, and belongs to NP-hard problem.
[0118] The embodiment uses swarm intelligence algorithm to find the optimal solution within the adjustable parameter range. The swarm intelligence algorithm used in the embodiment includes genetic algorithm, particle swarm algorithm, ant colony optimization algorithm, artificial fish swarm algorithm and artificial bee colony algorithm.
[0119] The swarm intelligence algorithm library is shown in Table 1:
[0120] Table 1 Swarm intelligence algorithm library
[0121]
[0122] Further, when performing parameter initialization, the embodiment can include the size of the population, the initial position, the learning rate and some control parameters of the algorithm itself (such as learning factor, pheromone concentration, etc.). Therefore, in order to exclude the influence of algorithm and parameter selection as much as possible, search for the lowest energy consumption of the central air conditioning unit under the current environment, the embodiment uses the above-mentioned five kinds of swarm intelligence algorithms, randomly initializes two groups of parameters for each swarm intelligence algorithm to search for the optimal solution under the current parameter environment. And compare the search results of 10 groups, select the optimal operating parameter combination, through the above-mentioned way, try to get the global optimal solution, avoid falling into local optimal solution.

[0126] Wherein, represents the heat released by the liquid at a certain moment, represents the specific heat capacity of water, represents the mass of the liquid, represents the temperature difference between the current temperature of the liquid and the temperature of the contacted environment.
[0127] Integrating the instantaneous heat over a period of time, the heat exchanged by the air conditioning system at a certain flow rate within a certain period of time can be obtained, as shown in equation (4):

[0131] Table 2 Swarm intelligence algorithm optimization restriction conditions
[0132]
[0133] The embodiment clearly defines the swarm intelligence algorithm and the constraint variables in the optimization process. Subsequently, AI autonomous optimization is performed on the basis of the current external environment and parameter settings, which can be represented by equation (5):
