[0083] Among them, the subscript ad represents the air duct, Ω out is the air supply branch pipe assembly, s i is the pipe impedance of the air supply branch pipe i.

[0084] C. The individual optimization model of the air-conditioning terminal agent is as follows:

[0093] S2. Based on the topological structure of the target air-conditioning system, establish the connection relationship between the individual optimization models of the intelligent agents corresponding to each device in the system.

[0094] In this embodiment, the air handling unit intelligent body is first connected to the air duct intelligent body, and the air duct intelligent body is then connected to five air conditioning terminal (variable air volume air conditioning box) intelligent bodies respectively.

[0095] S3. Based on the connection relationship between the individual optimization models of intelligent agents, collaborative optimization rules between the individual optimization models of adjacent intelligent agents are added to the individual optimization models of intelligent agents in turn to form an energy-saving group control strategy for the target air-conditioning system.

[0096] The collaborative optimization rules added to each agent's individual optimization model include consistency constraints with the export parameters of its upstream agent model and consistency constraints with the import parameters of its downstream agent model. The two consistency constraints are further divided into temperature equality constraints, flow equality constraints, and pressure equality constraints, as shown in the following formula:

[0097]

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] Among them, j represents the upstream agent adjacent to agent i, and k represents the downstream agent adjacent to agent i.

[0101] S4. Obtain the real-time operating parameters of the target air-conditioning system, input them into the energy-saving group control strategy, optimize the control actions through the collaborative optimization algorithm, and output the optimal control actions for each device in the system.

[0102] S4-1: Initialize the global variable matrix and the Lagrange multiplier matrix for each agent Among them, N cc represents the total number of consistency constraints of each agent, N cc,i Represents the number of consistency constraints that agent i has.

[0103] In this embodiment, N cc =6, air handling unit agent N cc,1 =1, air duct agent N cc,2 =6, air conditioning terminal intelligent agent 1-5N cc,3 -N cc,7 =1.

[0104] S4-2: Set the penalty coefficient ρ, the number of iterations k = 0, and the upper limit of the number of iterations K max In this example, the penalty coefficient ρ is set to 0.5, the number of iterations k is set to 0, and the upper limit of the number of iterations K is set to max =150.

[0105] S4-3: According to the consistency constraints added by each agent, the collaborative optimization model of each agent is set as shown in the following formula:

[0106]

[0107] stg i ≤0,h i =0

[0108] Among them, f i represents the objective function of agent i, g i represents the inequality constraint matrix of agent i, h i represents the equality constraint matrix of agent i, ||·||2 represents the 2-norm operator, represents the value of the global variable related to agent i in the kth iteration, represents the Lagrange multiplier value associated with agent i in the kth iteration, The parameter matrix representing the inlet and outlet temperature, flow rate, and pressure of agent i.

[0109] S4-4: Each agent solves the above collaborative optimization model in parallel to obtain the optimal solution for the k+1th iteration

[0110] S4-5: Update the Lagrange multiplier matrix and global variable matrix of the k+1th round, as shown in the following formula:

[0111]

[0112]

[0113] Wherein, subscript l represents the set of agents adjacent to agent i, and N is the number of agents, N = 7 in this example.

[0114] S4-6: Determine whether the collaborative optimization process has reached convergence, as shown in the following formula:

[0115]

[0116]

[0117] In this embodiment, ε1=ε2=0.01. If the above formula is satisfied or the number of iterations k≥K max , the optimization process ends and goes to step S4-7. Otherwise, repeat steps S4-4 to S4-6.

[0118] S4-7: Output the optimal variable result to be optimized to the actuator for execution of the control action.

[0119] The operating data of a typical summer day are selected to verify the energy-saving effect of the group control strategy. The cooling load demand on that day is as follows: Figure 3 The traditional rule-based group control strategy is set for performance comparison. Under this strategy, the air handling unit fan always runs at the industrial frequency, and the valve opening of the terminal variable air volume air conditioning box is always kept fully open. The indoor temperature setting value T of each terminal room sp At 26°C, the air handling unit inlet pressure is -50Pa (gauge pressure), room pressure p room The air supply temperature of the air handling unit is 25Pa (gauge pressure). The control interval is uniformly set to 1h.

[0120] Comparison of system energy consumption under two group control strategies Figure 4 As shown. Since the air handling unit blower always runs at the industrial frequency under the traditional rule group control strategy, its operating energy consumption remains high at the rated power. In contrast, the energy-saving group control strategy constructed in this embodiment adopts the model optimization method to calculate the optimal control scheme under different working conditions. The total operating energy consumption of the system is reduced from 107.5kWh to 72.3kWh, a reduction of 32.8%.

[0121] The results of indoor temperature of each terminal room under the two group control strategies are compared. Figure 5As shown. Because the air handling unit blower always supplies air to the terminal at the rated air supply under the rule control strategy, there is a lack of effective regulation of the terminal temperature, resulting in the indoor temperature in most time periods under this strategy being significantly deviated from the set value (26°C), reducing the thermal comfort of the end users. In contrast, the energy-saving group control strategy constructed in this embodiment adjusts the air supply volume of each room through coordination between intelligent agents, so that the indoor temperature of each room is maintained near the set value, with a maximum deviation of less than 0.5K, achieving a balance between operating energy consumption and terminal thermal comfort.

[0122] In summary, this embodiment can quickly construct an energy-saving group control strategy adapted to local conditions according to the equipment composition and topological structure of the actual variable air volume air conditioning system, has high development efficiency and versatility, and is applicable to different forms of variable air volume air conditioning systems. At the same time, the energy-saving group control strategy constructed by this embodiment has high energy-saving and temperature control capabilities, and can effectively improve the operating efficiency of the variable air volume air conditioning system while ensuring the thermal comfort of the end users.

[0123] Embodiment 2: This embodiment is a self-organizing construction device for a variable air volume air conditioning system energy-saving group control strategy, including: a model generation module, a model connection module, a strategy formation module, an algorithm optimization module, etc.

[0125] In this embodiment, the model connection module is used to establish the connection relationship between the individual optimization models of the intelligent agents corresponding to the devices in the system based on the topological structure of the target air-conditioning system.

[0126] In this example, the strategy formation module is used to add collaborative optimization rules between adjacent intelligent agent individual optimization models in the intelligent agent individual optimization model based on the connection relationship between the intelligent agent individual optimization models, so as to form an energy-saving group control strategy for the target air-conditioning system.
