Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0051] Example 1
[0052] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an elevator scheduling and control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where elevators are controlled to operate with the lowest energy consumption during elevator scheduling. This method can be executed by an elevator scheduling and control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the elevator dispatching and control method includes:
[0053] S101. Construct a mathematical model for elevator operation. The mathematical model uses the elevator's operating state parameters as the dependent variable and the elevator controller's control parameters as the independent variable. The operating state parameters include at least the number of passengers in the elevator car during operation.
[0054] The elevator in this embodiment refers to a vertical lifting elevator. The elevator's operating mathematical model can be a mathematical model describing the relationship between various operating parameters of the elevator and the control parameters of the elevator controller. In this embodiment, the elevator's operating state parameters can include the elevator's running distance, speed, acceleration, car weight (related to the number of passengers in the car), and running time. The controller's control parameters can include parameters such as the traction motor's drive current and voltage. The operating mathematical model can be a mathematical model with the control parameters as independent variables and the elevator's operating state parameters as dependent variables, that is, the correspondence between the control parameters output by the controller at different running times k and the elevator's running distance, speed, acceleration, and car weight (related to the number of passengers in the car) at running time k.
[0055] S102. Construct a controller based on the operating state parameters. The controller includes a loss function with the number of passengers in the car as the variable.
[0056] In one embodiment, the controller aims to minimize energy loss and controls elevator operation without affecting elevator ride comfort and performance. The controller reflects the correspondence between energy consumption and control parameters at different running times k when the number of passengers in the car is determined.
[0057] S103, Solve for the target controller when the loss function is minimized.
[0058] Since the number of passengers in the elevator car varies, the weight of the elevator car also varies, and the energy loss during elevator operation also varies. The loss function is a function that describes the energy loss of the elevator when the number of passengers is different. After solving the loss function to obtain the objective solution that minimizes the loss function, the objective solution is substituted into the controller to obtain the target controller.
[0059] S104. Control the elevator through the target controller to make the elevator run at the optimal operating speed.
[0060] After the target controller controls the elevator to run, the elevator runs at the optimal speed to achieve the goal of minimizing energy consumption.
[0061] This invention constructs a mathematical model of elevator operation, using operating state parameters (at least the number of passengers in the car) as the dependent variable and control parameters of the elevator controller as the independent variable. A controller is further constructed based on these operating state parameters, including a loss function with the number of passengers in the car as the variable. A target controller is found that minimizes the loss function. By controlling the elevator operation through this target controller, the loss function, which is calculated at least based on the number of passengers in the car, is minimized. This allows for further calculation of the target controller, which controls the elevator to operate at its optimal speed with minimal energy loss. Compared to elevator energy feedback devices, this invention requires no additional hardware, is low-cost, and can handle complex operating conditions with varying passenger numbers, resulting in better energy-saving performance.
[0062] Example 2
[0063] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an elevator scheduling and control method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is an optimization based on Embodiment 1 described above, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the elevator dispatching and control method includes:
[0064] S201. Construct a mathematical model for elevator operation. The mathematical model uses the elevator's operating state parameters as the dependent variable and the elevator controller's control parameters as the independent variable. The operating state parameters include at least the number of passengers in the elevator car during operation.
[0065] Specifically, based on the elevator's daily operation, its trajectory can be determined, such as establishing the relationship curve between the elevator's speed and time k. Furthermore, by fitting a large amount of statistical data, the functional relationship between the elevator's energy consumption and its speed can be determined. For example,... Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the operating speed curve and energy consumption curve. Figure 3 In the process, the running speed V first accelerates with time t, the elevator energy consumption F changes with speed V, then becomes constant, and finally decelerates. A mathematical model can be established with the elevator's running distance, speed, acceleration, and time as variables.
[0066] Specifically, the mathematical model for elevator operation is expressed as follows:
[0067]
[0068] Where k is the sampling time of the segment, This indicates the elevator's travel distance, speed, acceleration, and number of passengers in the car (car weight, which can be determined by a weight sensor). i Let τ represent the elevator controller, where τ is the control coefficient and R is a real number.
[0069] Formula (1) above describes the correspondence between the control parameters output by the controller at different running times k and the elevator's running distance, speed, acceleration, and car weight (related to the number of passengers in the car) at running time k.
[0070] S202. Set up a switchable communication network and obtain the number of passengers in the car based on the switchable communication network.
[0071] In this embodiment, the controller receives data via a communication network, such as the weight of the car (number of passengers). To ensure the reliability of system communication, a switchable communication network is typically used, such as... Figure 4 The diagram shows different communication network topologies. Figure 5 This is a diagram showing the corresponding number of communication segments.
[0072] The expression for the switching mode of the switchable communication network is as follows:
[0073]
[0074] in, The switching signal is represented by G1…Gβ, which are switchable communication segments, and n is a natural number. In this embodiment, β = 3, which means there are a total of 3 communication segments, including G1, G2 and G3.
[0075] For example, in this embodiment, k is the segment sampling time. Different values of k correspond to different communication topologies. For example, the correspondence between time K and communication topology is as follows:
[0076]
[0077] If communication is interfered with at sampling time k1, causing communication abnormality, the internal system will automatically switch the communication mode to k2.
[0078] S203. Construct a controller based on the operating status parameters. The controller includes a loss function with the number of passengers in the car as the variable.
[0079] In one embodiment, the constructed controller has the following expression:
[0080]
[0081] i and j represent the number of people in the elevator car. This represents the expression for the sampling time k after the event triggering mechanism is implemented. Let i be the weighting coefficient assigned to j at time k in the parameter matrix corresponding to the switching signal at time k. This describes the algorithmic steps of the event-triggered mechanism. The functions `sig` and `sign` are the event-triggered functions, `σ` represents a coefficient, and `a` represents a coefficient. i ∈R, y i (k), z i (k), m represents the process quantity, d i The subgradient of the loss function f(x) at i, The loss function f(x) based on the event-triggered mechanism is expressed as follows: The expression for the subgradient at a given point is given, where scalar α>0 is the step size of the controller, and η1, η2, and η3 are coefficients.
[0082] Wherein, the parameter matrix corresponding to the switching signal at time k As shown below:
[0083]
[0084] S204, Formula based on Lyapunov's criterion theorem Find the optimal solution for the loss function.
[0085] Since elevator losses vary depending on the number and weight of passengers in the car, the total loss is defined as the following loss function:
[0086]
[0087] Among them, f i f(x) represents the individual loss within the car, f(x) represents the total loss of all people within the car, and n represents the number of people within the car.
[0088] As can be seen from the above formula (5), the Lyapunov criterion theorem formula can be used. The solution is to find z that minimizes f(z), where formula (6) represents the process quantities for different elevator operating states. For example, after the number of passengers (car weight) is determined, the process quantities under different operating states such as speed, acceleration, and distance are calculated. Solving formula (6) is essentially solving for the optimal speed, acceleration, and distance that minimize the value of formula (6). Specifically, this can be based on the Lyapunov criterion theorem formula. For a detailed solution, please refer to the method for finding the optimal value based on the Lyapunov criterion theorem. The embodiments of this invention will not be described in detail here.
[0089] S205. Substitute the obtained optimal solution into the expression of the controller to obtain the target controller.
[0090] After solving for the process quantity z that minimizes the value of formula (6), z can be substituted into formulas (3)-(5) to obtain the target controller u. i (k).
[0091] In one embodiment, after solving for the optimal target controller, the controller can be substituted into the control system and verified using MATLAB simulation software. For example, in the MATLAB simulation, assuming there are five people in the elevator car, i.e., n=5, the loss function f for a certain section during elevator scheduling is as follows:
[0092] f = (z i -γ i ) 2 +θ i ;
[0093] Where, z i (0) = [0.2, 0.6, 0.12, 0.74, 0.5] T γ i =[5,-2,7,4,6] T θ i =[20,11,-15,25,-20] T ,d=0.0138.
[0094] Among them, z i (0) represents the initial input value of the process quantity, γ and θ are the set values of the coefficients, and d is the set value of the subgradient.
[0095] like Figure 6 The diagram shows the displacement, velocity, and acceleration results of the elevator operation simulation. Figure 7 The diagram shown illustrates the losses during elevator operation simulation. The simulation reveals that... Figure 6 The displacement, velocity, and acceleration in the simulation all eventually converge. Figure 7The power consumption of theoretical calculations and simulation calculations is similar before and after quantization.
[0096] S206. Control the elevator through the target controller to make the elevator run at the optimal operating speed.
[0097] In determining the target controller u i After (k), the output of the controller can be determined by the operating mathematical model expressed by formula (1). After controlling the elevator to run at the optimal operating speed by the controller output, the energy consumption of the elevator is minimized.
[0098] This invention constructs a mathematical model for elevator operation, using elevator operating state parameters as dependent variables and elevator controller control parameters as independent variables. The operating state parameters include at least the number of passengers in the elevator car during operation. A switchable communication network is set up, and the number of passengers in the car is obtained based on this network. A controller is constructed based on the operating state parameters, including a loss function with the number of passengers in the car as the variable. The optimal solution of the loss function is solved based on the Lyapunov criterion theorem. Substituting the obtained optimal solution into the controller's expression yields the target controller. The elevator is controlled by the target controller to operate at the optimal speed. This achieves the goal of minimizing energy loss by solving the loss function at least through the number of passengers in the car, thereby further solving for the target controller. By controlling the elevator to operate at the optimal speed with the minimum energy loss, this invention, compared to an elevator energy feedback device, requires no additional hardware, has low cost, and can handle complex operating conditions with varying passenger numbers, resulting in better energy saving.
[0099] Furthermore, due to the introduction of a switchable communication network, when one communication segment is interfered with, it automatically switches to another segment with good communication to obtain data, thus improving the stability of data transmission.
