It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for processing a simulated configuration file in EnergyPlus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where clear and intuitive device connection relationships are extracted from the complex data structure hierarchy of the simulated configuration file. This method can be executed by a simulated configuration file processing device in EnergyPlus, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device with data processing capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0035] S110: Obtain the target simulation configuration file in EnergyPlus, and parse the target simulation configuration file to obtain the parsing result.

[0036] The simulation configuration file (i.e., the idf file in EnergyPlus) is used to describe the device relationships in different simulation loops (such as equipment loops, air loops, etc.). The target simulation configuration file can refer to the simulation configuration file from which device connection relationships need to be extracted.

[0037] It should be noted that in the simulation configuration file, the device's storage structure consists of multiple levels, such as... Figure 2As shown, from top to bottom, the data consists of a loop, a half-loop (divided into supply-side and demand-side half-loops), a list of loop segments, loop segments, and equipment. It also includes auxiliary information such as inlet / outlet nodes and branch / aggregate nodes. In this embodiment, the parsing results obtained after parsing the target simulation configuration file will include the equipment-related parsing data according to... Figure 2 The device data structure hierarchy shown is presented in the form of multiple fields. Therefore, a clear and intuitive understanding of the device connections cannot be obtained directly from the parsing results of the target simulation configuration file, which is detrimental to the subsequent use of the device simulation data.

[0038] S120, Based on the analysis results, determine the simulation association relationship between candidate simulation devices in each candidate simulation loop in the target simulation configuration file.

[0039] Here, a candidate simulation loop can refer to any simulation loop in the target simulation configuration file. A candidate simulation device can refer to any simulation device in the candidate simulation loop. Simulation relationships can be characterized by a simulation loop planar structure built based on multiple levels of data and nodes.

[0040] In this embodiment, after parsing the target simulation configuration file to obtain the parsing result, the simulation association relationship between candidate simulation devices in each candidate simulation loop in the target simulation configuration file can be determined based on the parsing result. Optionally, determining the simulation association relationship between candidate simulation devices in each candidate simulation loop in the target simulation configuration file based on the parsing result includes: logically connecting the target level data corresponding to each candidate simulation loop in the parsing result to obtain the planar structure of each candidate simulation loop; wherein, the target level includes loop segments and devices, and the planar structure contains candidate simulation devices and nodes; and determining the simulation association relationship between candidate simulation devices in each candidate simulation loop based on the planar structure.

[0041] Specifically, firstly, based on node information, the target-level data (including loop segments and equipment) corresponding to each candidate simulation loop in the analysis results are logically connected to obtain the planar structure of each candidate simulation loop. Optionally, logically connecting the target-level data corresponding to each candidate simulation loop in the analysis results to obtain the planar structure of each candidate simulation loop includes: for each candidate simulation loop, determining the loop segment structure based on equipment data and the corresponding entry and exit nodes; connecting the loop segment structure based on the corresponding branching and aggregation nodes to obtain two half-loop structures; and determining the planar structure of the candidate simulation loop based on the two half-loop structures.

[0042] When constructing the planar structure of each candidate simulation loop, the loop segment structure is first determined for each candidate simulation loop based on the equipment data and the corresponding entry and exit nodes. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a loop segment structure provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the loop segment structure includes an inlet node, device 1 (chilled water pump), device 2 (chiller 1), and an outlet node. Then, based on the corresponding branching and converging nodes, the loop segment structure is connected to obtain two half-loop structures. Each branching node includes one inlet node and multiple outlet nodes, while the converging node includes multiple inlet nodes and one outlet node. Furthermore, the planar structure of the candidate simulation loop is determined based on the two half-loop structures and their corresponding loop directions. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a simulated loop planar structure provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, wherein the simulated loop is a cold source equipment loop, and the water flow direction represents the loop direction corresponding to the two half-loop structures.

[0043] S130, for each candidate simulation loop, at least two target simulation devices are determined from the candidate simulation devices, and the target connection relationship between the target simulation devices is determined according to the simulation association relationship.

[0044] In this context, "target simulation equipment" refers to simulation equipment selected from candidate simulation equipment based on actual needs. "Target connection relationship" refers to the connection relationship between target simulation equipment. It should be noted that due to the requirements of simulation calculations, the device granularity in EnergyPlus is quite fine. For example, an air loop might include multiple simulated devices such as fresh air inlets, mixing boxes, fans, cooling coils, and heating coils, while actual engineering projects often use real equipment such as air conditioning units, fresh air handling units, and fan coil units. To ensure the matching of simulation data with the project, it is also necessary to determine whether to merge the simulation equipment in the simulation loop based on the composition structure of the actual equipment. The correspondence between simulation equipment and actual equipment may be one-to-one (no simulation equipment merging required) or many-to-one (simulation equipment merging required), depending on the specific engineering requirements.

[0045] In this embodiment, optionally, at least two target simulation devices are determined from the candidate simulation devices, including: determining other devices besides pipeline devices from the candidate simulation devices as target simulation devices.

[0046] It should be noted that in actual engineering projects, piping equipment (such as water pipes and air ducts) is usually not a focus. Therefore, to reduce equipment complexity, piping equipment can be excluded when determining the target simulation equipment; that is, all other equipment in the candidate simulation equipment list, excluding piping equipment, can be directly identified as the target simulation equipment. In this case, the correspondence between the simulation equipment and the actual equipment is one-to-one, meaning that there is no need to merge simulation equipment.

[0047] In this embodiment, optionally, at least two target simulation devices are determined from the candidate simulation devices, including: determining other devices in the candidate simulation devices other than pipeline devices as reference simulation devices; and merging the reference simulation devices based on the composition structure of the reference physical devices and the simulation correlation between the candidate simulation devices to obtain the target simulation devices.

[0048] For cases requiring simulation device merging, the process begins by excluding uninterested piping equipment and designating all other candidate simulation devices as reference simulation devices. Then, based on the composition of the reference physical devices (i.e., the actual devices mentioned above) and the simulation relationships between the candidate simulation devices, the reference simulation devices are merged to obtain the target simulation device. Merging of reference simulation devices is only possible when a reference simulation device includes all the equipment required for the composition of a certain reference physical device, and all the required equipment is directly linked pairwise in the simulation relationships.

[0049] Figure 5A This is a schematic diagram of the supply-side half-loop of an air circuit according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Based on the composition structure of the air conditioning unit and the simulated relationship shown in the supply-side half-loop of the air circuit, it can be... Figure 5A The analog devices in the diagram are merged into one air conditioning unit, and the result of the merger is as follows: Figure 5B As shown. Furthermore, if Figure 5A If no mixing box is installed in the half-loop, the combined equipment is a fresh air handling unit.

[0050] In this embodiment, after determining the target simulation devices, the target connection relationships between the target simulation devices can be determined based on the simulation association relationships. Optionally, determining the target connection relationships between the target simulation devices based on the simulation association relationships includes: traversing the loop segment structures in the two half-loop structures respectively, and determining candidate connection relationships based on the association relationships between each node in the half-loop structure during the traversal process; wherein, the candidate connection relationships are used to describe the connection relationships between the target simulation devices in each half-loop structure; and integrating the candidate connection relationships according to the loop directions corresponding to the two half-loop structures to obtain the target connection relationships between the target simulation devices.

[0051] Specifically, for each of the two half-loop structures, starting from the first entry node in each half-loop structure (i.e., the entry node corresponding to the first loop segment structure in terms of the loop direction of the half-loop structure), all loop segment structures are traversed one by one. During the traversal, candidate connection relationships (i.e., the connection relationships between target simulation devices in the half-loop structure) are determined according to the association relationships between the entry nodes. For two nodes with a direct association, such as node a and node b, where node a is the exit node of device A and node b is the entry node of device B, the direction from node a to node b is the direction from device A to device B, thus determining the connection relationship between device A and device B. It can be understood that one half-loop structure corresponds to one candidate connection relationship, therefore, two candidate connection relationships are obtained after the traversal. Then, based on the loop directions corresponding to the two half-loop structures, the starting and ending devices in the two half-loop structures are connected (the connection may involve one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many relationships), to integrate the two candidate connection relationships and obtain the target connection relationships between the target simulation devices. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the target connection relationship between target simulation devices provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 4 The target connection relationship is obtained based on the simulated loop planar structure. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the analog devices and physical devices have a one-to-one relationship, meaning that there is no need to merge the analog devices.

[0052] The technical solution of this invention first obtains the target simulation configuration file in EnergyPlus and parses it to obtain the parsing result. The simulation configuration file describes the device relationships in different simulation loops. Then, based on the parsing result, the simulation relationships between candidate simulation devices in each candidate simulation loop of the target simulation configuration file are determined. Furthermore, for each candidate simulation loop, at least two target simulation devices are determined from the candidate simulation devices, and the target connection relationships between the target simulation devices are determined based on the simulation relationships. This technical solution can extract clear and intuitive device connection relationships from the complex device data structure hierarchy of the simulation configuration file, facilitating the rapid application of device simulation data.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Figure 7This is a flowchart of a method for processing simulation configuration files in EnergyPlus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the above embodiment and optimized. Specifically, the optimization is as follows: after determining the target connection relationship between target simulation devices according to the simulation association relationship, the method further includes: determining the target connection relationship with the same target simulation device as the connection relationship to be processed, and determining the same target simulation device in the connection relationship to be processed as the common device; if the loop type corresponding to the connection relationship to be processed belongs to the same preset system type, the connection relationship to be processed is merged according to the common device to obtain the merged connection relationship.

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, the method in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0056] S210: Obtain the target simulation configuration file in EnergyPlus, and parse the target simulation configuration file to obtain the parsing result.

[0057] The simulation configuration file is used to describe the device relationships in different simulation loops.

[0058] S220, Based on the analysis results, determine the simulation association relationship between candidate simulation devices in each candidate simulation loop in the target simulation configuration file.

[0059] S230, for each candidate simulation loop, determine at least two target simulation devices from the candidate simulation devices, and determine the target connection relationship between the target simulation devices based on the simulation association relationship.

[0060] The specific implementation of S210-S230 can be referred to the detailed description of S110-S130 in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0061] S240, the target connection relationship with the same target simulation device is determined as the connection relationship to be processed, and the same target simulation device in the connection relationship to be processed is determined as the common device.

[0062] It should be noted that in actual engineering, "system" is a commonly used concept, such as a cold source system or an air conditioning terminal system. However, EnergyPlus does not have this concept. In this case, it is necessary to construct each system based on the target connection relationships between the target simulation devices. First, it is determined whether there are identical target simulation devices in each target connection relationship. If so, the target connection relationship is identified as the connection relationship to be processed, and the identical target simulation devices are identified as common devices.

[0063] S250, if the circuit types corresponding to the connection relationships to be processed belong to the same preset system type, the connection relationships to be processed are merged according to the common equipment to obtain the merged connection relationship.

[0064] The preset system type can refer to a system type pre-defined according to actual engineering needs, such as a cold source system or an air conditioning terminal system. In this embodiment, a mapping relationship between preset system types and loop types can be pre-defined. This mapping relationship can be used to characterize which loop types can be merged into which preset system type. For example, a cold source loop and a cooling loop can be merged into a cold source system. If the loop types corresponding to the connection relationship to be processed belong to the same preset system type, that is, the loop types corresponding to the connection relationship to be processed satisfy the mapping relationship with the same preset system type, the merged connection relationship can be obtained by merging the connection relationships to be processed according to the common equipment. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a merged connection relationship provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The target connection relationship corresponding to the cold source circuit (i.e., the analysis result of the cold source circuit shown in the figure) and the target connection relationship of the cooling circuit (i.e., the analysis result of the cooling circuit shown in the figure) share a common device, chiller 1, and satisfy the mapping relationship that allows the cold source circuit and the cooling circuit to be merged into a cold source system. At this time, the analysis results of the cold source circuit and the cooling circuit can be merged based on chiller 1 to obtain the merged connection relationship corresponding to the cold source system.

[0065] The technical solution of this invention, after determining the target connection relationships between target simulation devices based on simulation associations, identifies target connection relationships with the same target simulation devices as connection relationships to be processed, and identifies the same target simulation devices in the connection relationships to be processed as common devices; if the loop types corresponding to the connection relationships to be processed belong to the same preset system type, the connection relationships to be processed are merged based on the common devices to obtain merged connection relationships. This technical solution can construct merged connection relationships corresponding to preset system types based on the target connection relationships between target simulation devices according to actual engineering needs, enabling better application of device simulation data to actual engineering.
