Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of urban renewal technology, and in particular to a method for generating and optimizing a layout plan for productive rooftop renovation, which is applicable to the planning and design of rooftop renovation in urban blocks. Multiple sets of optimal planning methods can be obtained based on basic site information and design objectives. Background Art
[0002] Urbanization is rapidly advancing. Currently, more than half of the world's population lives in cities, and by 2050, approximately 70% of the world's population is projected to live in cities. This expansion of urban areas will inevitably encroach on suburban land, primarily used for agricultural production, placing enormous pressure on food production and distribution. Furthermore, the spatial distance between agricultural production and consumption is further increasing, leading to increased agricultural mileage and incurring additional environmental pressures and economic costs. The vast amount of unused rooftop space in cities can serve as a direct vehicle for urban agriculture and clean energy production. Therefore, designers must conduct a thorough assessment and planning of the physical and energy production of target blocks during the design phase to achieve a scientific and efficient, productive transformation design.
[0003] Currently, there are few design methods for increasing productivity in urban renewal, and most focus on assessing and planning a single resource type. In agriculture, total yield is generally estimated based on empirical data and available planting area. In energy, renewable energy production software is used to simulate current design solutions to obtain a simulated overall system output. Adjustments are then made based on the results compared to pre-determined design targets. This approach relies too heavily on empirical data, ignoring the impact of complex urban morphology on environmental factors that influence resource production, such as solar radiation, sunshine duration, and temperature. Consequently, it fails to accurately assess resource production potential. Furthermore, the lack of a coordinated approach to planning and design for multiple resources can easily lead to overproduction of certain resources and underproduction of others. This not only wastes resources and production space, but also defeats the purpose of localized resource production. In summary, conventional design methods, limited by designers' experience, conventional process mindsets, and technical tools, suffer from low accuracy in assessing production potential, limited solution optimization, and a significant workload. Traditional design methods not only require designers to have prior experience in urban agriculture and renewable energy design, but also consume significant time and effort in repeated comparisons and revisions, making them unsuitable for the work needs of grassroots planning and architectural professionals. With the advancement of the "urban dual renovation" concept in urban renewal in my country, local design professionals are urgently seeking simple and rapid configuration methods and practical tools for productive renovation of urban rooftops. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to address the technical defects existing in the prior art and provide a method for generating and optimizing a rooftop productive transformation layout plan, so as to carry out urban agriculture and photovoltaic power generation transformation on the roofs of specific areas, thereby solving the technical problems of inaccurate potential assessment, discontinuous environmental simulation and potential calculation, insufficient space utilization caused by the inability to coordinate multiple resources, and inefficient result comparison and modification.

[0065] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0066] Example 1
[0067] A method for generating and optimizing a layout plan for a productive rooftop renovation comprises the following steps:
[0068] Step 1: Select the urban block that needs to undergo rooftop productive transformation and create a 3D model of the block:
[0069] Rhino software was used as a program visualization and 3D modeling tool to draw the geometric model of the target block.
[0070] Step 2, picking up the block geometry model and the selected remodeled roof in the block 3D model obtained in step 1;
[0071] Using Grasshopper as the parametric programming platform, pick up the geometric model drawn in Rhino software in step 1 and the selected renovated roof respectively.
[0072] Step 3: Extract the regional environmental data throughout the year. Enter information such as the sun's trajectory, radiation intensity, and hourly sunshine duration into the environmental simulation calculator. Then, select the selected roofs for renovation obtained in Step 2, perform a physical environmental simulation on them, and select roofs that meet the physical environmental conditions as suitable roofs.
[0073] Step 4: Build agricultural potential calculation models and photovoltaic potential calculation models in Grasshopper to calculate the average annual yield per unit area for each suitable roof when applying different production strategies, including open-air cultivation, rooftop photovoltaics, rooftop greenhouses, and / or photovoltaic greenhouses.
[0074] When the production strategy is open-air planting or rooftop greenhouse, the average annual yield per unit area is k is the annual agricultural output. When the production strategy is rooftop photovoltaics, the average annual yield per unit area is Yield k is the annual output of photovoltaics. When the production strategy is photovoltaic greenhouse, the annual average output per unit area is Yield k Including annual agricultural output and annual photovoltaic output;
[0075] The average annual agricultural output per unit area is calculated using the agricultural potential calculation model, which is:
[0076] Y pt =1.522×10 -5 ×(1-α)(1-β)(1-γ)×q×f t
[0077] f t =4.301×10 -2 t-5.771×10 -4 t 2
[0078] Among them, Y pt is the agricultural output per square meter per year, f t is the temperature correction function. α is the reflectivity, which can be written as a linear function with the growth of leaf area during the entire crop growth period: α=0.83L i / L0, where L0 is the maximum leaf area index; L i is the leaf area index for a certain period of time; β is the light leakage rate, and the amount of light leaking onto the soil surface varies with different crop groups and different growth stages; γ is the light saturation limit, that is, the proportion of light exceeding the light saturation point; q is the total solar radiation projected per unit area per unit time (wh / m 2 ). t is the annual average temperature, in degrees Celsius (℃).
[0079] The average annual photovoltaic output per unit area is calculated using the photovoltaic output calculation model, which is:

[0081] Among them E e is the photovoltaic output per square meter per year. G is the annual accumulated solar radiation on the roof surface, obtained from the physical environment simulation in step 3. PV = is the photovoltaic module's photoelectric conversion efficiency, which is determined by the module type. K is the overall efficiency coefficient, also known as the energy efficiency ratio, which represents the conversion efficiency of the entire system from input to output. It reflects the efficiency of the entire photovoltaic system after energy losses due to a series of factors such as the inverter, temperature, shading, dust, and circuit losses.
[0082] Step 5: Based on the average annual output and transformation cost obtained in step 4, iteratively calculate the cost-benefit coefficient of each roof when applying different production strategies (open-air planting, rooftop photovoltaic, rooftop greenhouse, photovoltaic greenhouse) k , the formula is as follows:

Data from the 2023 Tianjin Statistical Yearbook.
[0085] Step 6. Input the "cost-benefit coefficient of system 1", "cost-benefit coefficient of system 2", and "cost-benefit coefficient of system 3" of each strategy obtained in step 4 into the input end of the multi-objective optimization module as the basis for determining the use of the roof. The input order represents the priority of the roof renovation type selected by the user. After entering the first three cost-benefit coefficients, the system defaults to the "cost-benefit coefficient of system 4" for the strategy not entered. The suitable roof obtained in step 3 is input into the multi-objective optimization module.
[0086] Connect the "cost-benefit coefficient of system 1", "cost-benefit coefficient of system 2", "cost-benefit coefficient of system 3", and "cost-benefit coefficient of system 4" to the variable end of Octopus in the Grasshopper platform, and connect the "total agricultural output", "total photovoltaic output", and "total transformation cost" at the output end of the "multi-objective optimization module" to the target end of Octopus.

[0097] The mathematical expression of Octopus multi-objective optimization is: max 、E max Cost min , which respectively represent the maximization of total agricultural output, the maximization of total photovoltaic output, and the minimization of total transformation cost.
[0098] The Pareto optimal solution set for the productive transformation of the rooftops of the case block buildings obtained based on the multi-objective optimization algorithm in step 6 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the schematic diagram of the rooftop productive transformation configuration scheme is as follows Figure 3 shown.
[0099] Step 7: In the multidimensional evaluation module, a multidimensional evaluation calculation model for roof renovation plans is established based on the economic benefits and environmental impacts of various roof renovation strategies. Based on the optimized configuration plan obtained in step 6, the multidimensional evaluation calculation model generates resource indicators, economic indicators, and environmental indicators for each configuration plan as decision support for the optimized configuration plan.
[0100] The production potential calculation core in the multidimensional evaluation model calculates resource indicators, and the resource indicators include agricultural self-sufficiency rate and energy self-sufficiency rate; the economic indicator calculation core in the multidimensional evaluation model calculates economic indicators, and the economic indicators include return on investment and investment payback period; the environmental impact calculation core in the multidimensional evaluation model calculates environmental indicators, and the environmental indicators include global warming potential, water consumption, electricity consumption, agricultural mileage carbon reduction potential, and renewable energy carbon reduction potential.

[0119] Among them F c is the carbon reduction of agricultural mileage, in units of P veg represents the total amount of agricultural transportation, in tons (t), which is equivalent to agricultural production in this study; J represents the average carbon dioxide emissions per ton of agricultural transportation per kilometer, in L represents agricultural transport mileage, in kilometers (km).
[0120] The carbon reduction potential of renewable energy is calculated using the following formula:

[0122] Among them E c is the carbon reduction of photovoltaic power generation, in units of P ele represents the total photovoltaic power generation, in kilowatt-hours; J represents the amount of carbon dioxide emissions reduced per kilowatt-hour of average photovoltaic power generation.
[0123] In addition to the environmental benefits, the environmental sustainability index also considers the environmental costs of a productive roof renewal strategy throughout its lifecycle, comprehensively assessing the negative environmental impacts of the roof system's construction, operation, production, and product distribution. Due to the varying units of various materials, this paper uses a unified global warming potential (GWP) to convert each component's expenditures. Specific data is calculated based on relevant Chinese national standards and previous literature, tailored to the specific roofing strategy.
[0124] The rooftop system's construction includes (i) structural installation; (ii) system maintenance, including the repair and replacement of equipment within the system; and (iii) component end-of-life disposal. The operational aspects of the system consider environmental impacts such as (i) water; (ii) energy; and (iii) fertilizers, pesticides, and seeds.
