Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refrigeration control technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for optimizing energy consumption control of a refrigeration system. Background Technology

[0002] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a cooling system for a data center. The cooling system includes at least one cooling unit, which comprises: a cooling tower, a chiller (water chiller unit), a cooling pump (cooling water circulation pump), a chilled water pump (chilled water circulation pump), and a plate heat exchanger. A typical data center cooling system is configured with four cooling units, three in operation and one on standby, with adjustable unit count. In each cooling unit, the chilled water pump is connected to a water collector, and the chiller's outlet on the user side is connected to a water distributor. The cooling system has three design operating modes: mechanical cooling, partial natural cooling, and full natural cooling, suitable for summer, transitional season, and winter respectively (corresponding to three operating modes: summer operation mode, transitional season operation mode, and winter operation mode). In summer, mechanical refrigeration is achieved using only chillers (V1, V3, V6, and V8 are on, while V2, V4, V5, and V7 are off). During the transitional season, partial natural cooling is achieved by connecting plate heat exchangers and chillers in series (V2, V4, V6, and V8 are on, while V1, V3, V5, and V7 are off). In winter, complete natural cooling is achieved by using only plate heat exchangers (V2, V4, V5, and V7 are on, while V1, V3, V6, and V8 are off).

[0003] In practical applications, energy consumption of equipment often exhibits a trade-off phenomenon. For example, increasing the chilled water temperature can reduce the energy consumption of the chiller unit, but it will lead to an increase in the energy consumption of the chilled water circulation pump (in order to provide sufficient cooling capacity to the terminal). Therefore, it is necessary to introduce energy consumption optimization and control technology to determine the optimal operating parameters to ensure that the total energy consumption of the chiller unit, cooling tower, and each water pump is minimized under the same cooling load demand and ambient humidity.

[0004] Current energy consumption optimization control schemes employ mathematical models combined with optimization algorithms. However, these models are overly simplistic, only considering summer operating modes and some key equipment parameters. They fail to meet the year-round cooling needs of data centers, resulting in poor energy efficiency with mechanical refrigeration throughout the year. Furthermore, the mathematical models do not account for the impact of the number of refrigeration units in operation (a discrete variable) on cooling and energy consumption. Therefore, current energy consumption optimization control schemes cannot achieve optimal total energy consumption control for all equipment throughout the year based on the refrigeration system's operating mode and the number of units in operation, combined with the key operating parameters of each device. Summary of the Invention

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0042] In the energy consumption optimization control method for a refrigeration system according to embodiments of the present invention, the refrigeration system can be Figure 1 A refrigeration system consisting of a refrigeration unit, but not limited to Figure 1 The refrigeration system in this embodiment. The energy consumption optimization and control method for the refrigeration system in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the procedure includes steps S210 to S240.

[0043] Step S210: Based on the total cooling demand of the refrigeration system Q req The number of refrigeration units to be turned on is calculated as follows: nAt that time, the cooling demand of a single refrigeration unit Q’ req Total cooling demand Q req It can be determined based on the needs of the actual application scenario, such as the total cooling demand when dissipating heat from a data center. Q req It can be determined based on the optimal operating temperature of the data center and the current temperature inside the server room.

[0044] Step S220: Based on outdoor dry-bulb temperature, outdoor wet-bulb temperature, the principle of mass conservation, the principle of energy conservation under different operating modes, and the number of refrigeration units in operation. n Corresponding cooling demand Q’ req And the mathematical models of each device in the refrigeration unit, determine the set of multiple sets of system operating parameter values ​​that satisfy the parameter constraints in the refrigeration system, and the number of refrigeration units to be turned on. n Operating Mode s Multiple optimization vectors are formed from multiple sets of system operating parameter values ​​φ. P ( n , s , φ). Among them, the principles of mass conservation and energy conservation depend on the structure of the refrigeration unit, in order to Figure 1 Taking the refrigeration unit structure as an example, the principle of mass conservation states that in the same water cycle, the water flow rate entering and exiting each device is equal. The principle of energy conservation varies under different operating modes. In summer mode, the heat dissipation on the condenser side of the chiller equals the heat dissipation on the cooling tower, and the cooling capacity on the evaporator side of the chiller equals the actual cooling capacity of the refrigeration unit. In transitional season mode, the sum of the heat dissipation on the condenser side of the chiller and the heat exchange of the plate heat exchanger equals the heat dissipation on the cooling tower, and the sum of the heat exchange of the plate heat exchanger and the cooling capacity on the evaporator side of the chiller equals the actual cooling capacity of the refrigeration unit. In winter mode, the heat dissipation on the cooling tower equals the heat exchange of the plate heat exchanger, which is also equal to the actual cooling capacity of the refrigeration unit.

[0045] The mathematical models of each component in a refrigeration unit also depend on the structure of the refrigeration unit; different refrigeration unit structures result in different mathematical models for each component. Figure 1 Taking the refrigeration unit structure as an example, the equipment includes: chiller, various water pumps, plate heat exchanger and cooling tower. The mathematical model used for each piece of equipment is as follows.

[0046] The mathematical model of the chiller is coupled with the chilled water inlet temperature. T e,i chilled water outlet temperature T e,o Cooling water inlet temperature T c,i Cooling water outlet temperature T c,o chilled water flow rateG e Cooling water flow rate G c and refrigeration power P chi The relationship.

[0047] The mathematical model of the water pump is coupled with the chilled water flow rate. G e Cooling water flow rate G c and water pump power ( P e , P c Specifically, the mathematical model of the chilled water pump is coupled with the chilled water flow rate. G e Electric power of refrigeration pump P e The relationship between the cooling pump and the cooling water flow rate is reflected in the mathematical model of the cooling pump. G c With cooling pump power P c The relationship between them.

[0048] The mathematical model of the plate heat exchanger is coupled with the chilled water flow rate. G e Cooling water flow rate G c Primary side inlet water temperature T 1i Primary side outlet water temperature T 1o Secondary side inlet water temperature T 2i and secondary side outlet water temperature T 2o The relationship.

[0049] The mathematical model of the cooling tower is coupled with the inlet water temperature of the cooling tower. T tow,i Cooling tower outlet water temperature T tow,o Outdoor dry bulb temperature T atm,dry Outdoor wet-bulb temperature T atm,wet ), air mass flow m a and cooling tower fan power P tow The relationship.

[0050] The mathematical models for the chiller, water pump, plate heat exchanger and cooling tower mentioned above can be any mature mathematical models from existing related technologies, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0051] The parameter constraints in a refrigeration system depend on the structure of the refrigeration unit and the user's requirements. These constraints include upper and lower limits on the range of system operating parameters, as well as constraints on the relationships between these parameters. Figure 1 Taking the refrigeration unit structure as an example, the parameter constraints include, but are not limited to, the following constraints.

[0052] User-side process requirements for chilled water supply temperature (i.e., chilled water outlet temperature of the chiller) T e,o Upper and lower limits (e.g., 11~17℃).

[0053] User-side process requirements for chilled water supply and return water temperature difference ( T e,o and T e,i Temperature difference) upper and lower limit constraints (e.g., 3-7℃).

[0054] Upper and lower limits of cooling capacity constraints for refrigeration systems.

[0055] Upper and lower limits of flow rate for each water pump (e.g., take 50%~100% of the rated flow rate).

[0056] Cooling tower heat dissipation capacity upper limit constraint (e.g., cooling tower fan mass flow rate) m a Between 40% and 100% of the rated air volume.

[0057] System operating parameters vary depending on the structure of the refrigeration unit and the operating mode. In this embodiment, the parameters are as follows: Figure 1 Taking the refrigeration unit structure as an example, the system operating parameters in different operating modes are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the table below.

[0058] Step S230: Based on the mathematical models of each device in the refrigeration unit and the corresponding system operating parameter values, calculate the power of each device, and determine the number of refrigeration units to be turned on. n The total power of the refrigeration system is calculated, yielding multiple sets of total power values. Since the mathematical models of each device determine the relationship between the power of each device and other relevant system operating parameters, the power of each device can be calculated, allowing the determination of the number of refrigeration units to be activated. n Calculate the total power of the refrigeration system. The formula for calculating the total power is: P total = nP c + nP e + n P chi + n P tow .

[0059] Step S240: In any operating mode, output the optimization vector corresponding to the minimum total power. P ( n , s The refrigeration system is optimized and controlled by the function min(φ), specifically, the objective function is to minimize the total power. P total = nP c + nP e + n P chi + n P tow ) Obtain the optimization vector corresponding to the minimum total power P ( n , s This allows for minimizing the total energy consumption of the chiller, water pumps, and cooling tower while meeting the total cooling demand.

[0060] In the energy consumption optimization control method of the refrigeration system in this embodiment, the following factors are considered: outdoor dry-bulb temperature, outdoor wet-bulb temperature, mass conservation principle, energy conservation principle under different operating modes, and the number of refrigeration units in operation. n Corresponding cooling demand Q’ req Based on the mathematical models of each device in the refrigeration unit, a set of multiple system operating parameter values ​​satisfying the parameter constraints of the refrigeration system is determined. Then, based on the mathematical models of each device in the refrigeration unit and the corresponding system operating parameter values, the power of each device is calculated, and the power is determined based on the number of refrigeration units in operation. n Calculate the total power of the refrigeration system, obtain multiple sets of total power values, and output the optimization vector corresponding to the minimum total power value as the objective. P ( n , s The φ) optimizes the control of the refrigeration system, realizing optimal control of the total energy consumption of the equipment based on the operating mode and number of operating units of the refrigeration system, combined with the operating parameters of each equipment. It is applicable to the optimal control of the total energy consumption of each equipment throughout the year.

[0061] In some embodiments, step S220 specifically includes the following steps.

[0062] Multiple target operating parameters are selected from the system operating parameter set, and different assignment combinations are used to assign values ​​to these target operating parameters. The target operating parameters can be randomly selected, as long as it ensures that the remaining non-target operating parameters can be calculated based on the selected target operating parameters, combined with the mass conservation principle, the energy conservation principle under different operating modes, and the mathematical model. Each assignment combination includes target operating parameter values ​​corresponding to the multiple target operating parameters; the target operating parameter values ​​will differ in different assignment combinations. Of course, the assignment of values ​​to the multiple target operating parameters must also satisfy the upper and lower limits of the target operating parameter value range.

[0063] For each assignment combination, based on outdoor dry-bulb temperature, outdoor wet-bulb temperature, the principle of mass conservation, the principle of energy conservation under different operating modes, and the number of refrigeration units in operation... n Corresponding cooling demand Q’ req The mathematical models of each device in the refrigeration unit are used to calculate the non-target operating parameter values ​​corresponding to the non-target operating parameters in the system operating parameter set.

[0064] When the non-target operating parameter values ​​satisfy the corresponding constraints, the non-target operating parameter values ​​and the corresponding target operating parameter values ​​constitute the system operating parameter values, so as to obtain multiple sets of the system operating parameter values.

[0065] In this embodiment, by selecting multiple target operating parameters from the system operating parameter set, assigning values ​​to the multiple target operating parameters, calculating the values ​​of non-target operating parameters, and then determining whether the non-target operating parameter values ​​meet the corresponding constraint conditions, multiple sets of system operating parameter values ​​that satisfy the parameter constraint conditions in the refrigeration system can be quickly obtained.

[0066] Specifically, the process involves selecting multiple target operating parameters from a set of system operating parameters and assigning values ​​to these multiple target operating parameters using different combinations of values, including the following steps.

[0067] Different target operating parameters can be selected based on different operating modes. Since the equipment involved in refrigeration is different in different operating modes, different target operating parameters can be selected in different operating modes.

[0068] The step size for assigning values ​​to the target operating parameters is determined based on the range of values ​​in the constraints of the target operating parameters.

[0069] Based on the assignment step size, an assignment combination is determined, and values ​​are assigned to multiple target operating parameters.

[0070] Furthermore, based on the assignment step size, assignment combinations are determined to assign values ​​to multiple target operating parameters. This includes: determining the number of assignments for any target operating parameter based on its assignment step size; and assigning values ​​to multiple target operating parameters using an enumeration method based on the number of target operating parameters and the number of assignments for each target operating parameter. For example, if there are four target operating parameters, and their respective assignment steps can be determined to have 3, 4, 2, and 5 assignments, then there are 3 × 4 × 2 × 5 = 120 possible assignment combinations.

[0071] In this embodiment, an enumeration method is used to assign values ​​to multiple target operating parameters. In each enumeration to find the optimal optimization vector, the above constraints are verified to ensure that the optimization results are within the adjustable performance of the device and can strictly meet the user's requirements.

[0072] In some embodiments, if the non-target operating parameter value does not meet the corresponding constraint condition, the total power value is set to a predetermined abnormal value, for example: P total =-1.

[0073] Based on this, step S240 specifically includes: in any operating mode, deleting the value of the total power as the optimization vector corresponding to a predetermined outlier. P ( n , s , φ), in the remaining optimization vector P ( n , s In φ), the optimization vector corresponding to the minimum total power is output. P ( n , s , φ) to optimize the control of the refrigeration system.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the non-target operating parameter values ​​do not meet the corresponding constraints, the total power value is set to a predetermined abnormal value. An exclusion mechanism for unreasonable value combinations is set, thereby improving the safety of system operation.

[0075] In some embodiments, step S210 specifically includes the following steps.

[0076] Calculate the cooling capacity of a single refrigeration unit under the original operating conditions of the refrigeration system before optimization. Q req,i ,in, i =1,2,…, N , N This indicates the total number of refrigeration units in the refrigeration system. Specifically, in summer mode... Q req,i = Ge ( T e,o - T e,i ), Transitional Season Mode Q req,i = G e ( T 2i - T e,i Winter mode Q req,i = G e, exch ( T 2i - T 2o ),in, G e, exch This represents the chilled water flow rate of the plate heat exchanger. If, under the original operating conditions of the refrigeration system, the i-th refrigeration unit is not turned on, then... Q req,i =0.

[0077] The total cooling demand is obtained by summing the cooling capacity of each individual refrigeration unit. .

[0078] The number of refrigeration units in operation is n At that time, calculate the cooling demand of a single refrigeration unit. Q’ req = Q req / n ,in, n < N .

[0079] It should be noted that before implementing the energy consumption optimization control method of the refrigeration system in this embodiment, it is assumed that the current working state of the refrigeration system is a stable state and meets the current refrigeration requirements. Therefore, the refrigeration capacity of each refrigeration unit when the number of refrigeration units turned on during the optimization process can be calculated based on the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration units turned on in the current state.

[0080] The following is based on Figure 1 Taking a refrigeration system composed of refrigeration units as an example, the energy consumption optimization control process of the refrigeration system of the present invention is specifically explained under different operating modes.
