Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent building energy-saving control, and in particular to an intelligent energy-saving control method and system for green building equipment based on artificial intelligence. Background Art

[0002] With the intensification of the global energy crisis and the advancement of sustainable development goals, green building technology has become an important development direction for the construction industry. The energy consumption of traditional building equipment accounts for more than 40% of the world's total energy consumption, of which HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), lighting and elevator systems are the main sources of energy consumption. In recent years, the rapid development of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) has made intelligent building energy-saving control possible. Intelligent control technology mainly includes rule-based control, optimization scheduling algorithm, neural network prediction model, etc. These technologies have improved the energy efficiency of building equipment to a certain extent. In addition, the application of digital twin technology makes the energy consumption simulation of building equipment more accurate, providing data support for further optimization of energy-saving control strategies. At the same time, the application of intelligent decision-making methods such as reinforcement learning in complex system control continues to deepen, providing a new research direction for intelligent energy-saving control of building equipment. However, although the application of these technologies has promoted the development of green buildings, the existing energy-saving control methods still have many limitations and are difficult to meet the dynamic optimization needs of building equipment under different environmental conditions.

[0003] The current energy-saving control technology of building equipment mainly relies on fixed rule control and data-driven predictive control. Among them, the control methods based on fixed rules (such as fuzzy logic, PID control, etc.) are difficult to adapt to the dynamic changes of the internal environment of the building, resulting in limited energy-saving efficiency. At the same time, the optimization methods based on data-driven (such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc.) have problems in practical applications, such as the difficulty of adaptive adjustment of hyperparameters, long model training time, and lack of long-term decision-making ability of optimization strategies. In addition, most traditional optimization scheduling algorithms are based on static data for analysis and cannot perceive the changes in the internal and external environment of the building in real time, resulting in poor adaptability of the control strategy. Although the existing reinforcement learning applications can optimize control decisions to a certain extent, they often have defects such as slow training convergence speed and insufficient strategy generalization ability, and it is difficult to balance the relationship between building energy consumption and user comfort. In addition, the current intelligent energy-saving control schemes often lack an effective multi-objective optimization mechanism and cannot ensure user experience while minimizing energy consumption. The present invention proposes an intelligent energy-saving control method for green building equipment based on artificial intelligence, which overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology by using digital twin models, genetic algorithms, adaptive neural network optimization and deep reinforcement learning, and realizes maximum energy-saving efficiency, dynamic optimization of strategies and user comfort guarantee.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for describing the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work. Among them: Figure 1 An overall flow chart of an artificial intelligence-based green building equipment intelligent energy-saving control method and system provided for the first embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Deploy sensors in buildings to collect building environment data and equipment operating status data.

[0041] Environmental data includes indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, light intensity, and carbon dioxide concentration.

[0042] Equipment operation data includes HVAC system energy consumption, elevator start and stop frequency, and intelligent lighting brightness settings.

[0043] Preprocessing includes data cleaning, feature extraction and data normalization.

[0044] It should be noted that the specific preprocessing steps are as follows: All collected data is initially screened through the edge computing gateway to remove obviously erroneous or invalid data (such as abnormal jumps and data that has not changed for a long time).

[0045] Subsequently, the data is time-aligned and denoised. Since different sensors have different sampling frequencies, time synchronization is required to ensure that the data is comparable within the same time window. For high-frequency fluctuating signals (such as temperature and humidity sensor data), wavelet transform is used for smoothing to reduce the impact of noise. For missing data, interpolation is used to complete it to ensure data integrity.

[0046] After data cleaning, feature engineering is performed on the data, including feature selection, feature extraction, and dimensionality reduction. The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to analyze the relationship between different environmental variables and remove redundant and highly correlated features. Feature dimensionality reduction is performed based on principal component analysis (PCA) to extract the most representative feature variables and reduce computational complexity.

[0047] The Z-score normalization method is used to unify the numerical range of different data to facilitate the subsequent training of the neural network model.

[0048] S2: Use the digital twin model to simulate the energy consumption of building equipment, train the baseline neural network model, and obtain the initial control strategy.

[0057] According to the loss function, the prediction error of the neural network model is minimized, and the optimal control strategy for the future is predicted through the trained baseline neural network. The strategy goal is to minimize energy consumption while ensuring user comfort, which is expressed as: ; in, Represents the optimal control strategy, including HVAC regulation, lighting optimization, and elevator scheduling. represents the set of control strategies for building equipment, represents the indoor temperature inside the building, represents the comfort constraint weight, represents the optimal temperature set point, Indicates the optimal indoor temperature set based on user comfort and energy saving requirements. represents the comfort constraint weight, Indicates the optimal illumination setting value, It represents the optimal light intensity based on human visual comfort and lighting energy saving requirements. represents the decision time step. and It is a value set by technicians based on historical data and experience. In specific applications, it can be dynamically adjusted according to seasonal changes, weather changes, etc.

[0058] It should be noted that the accuracy of traditional energy consumption prediction methods is limited, and the optimization method based on static energy consumption models cannot accurately simulate the dynamic changes of the building environment, resulting in the failure of the strategy. Existing technologies are often optimized for specific buildings, but when the physical characteristics of the building change, the optimization strategy is difficult to generalize.

[0059] Furthermore, our invention combines environmental data with equipment status data, and the digital twin model can simulate building energy consumption in real time, making the optimization strategy more accurate. Compared with traditional optimization methods, this technology can adapt to different building environments, improve the portability of the model, and avoid overfitting the strategy to specific buildings.

[0060] In step S2, the digital twin model is used to simulate the energy consumption of building equipment. Compared with the traditional energy consumption calculation method based on static data, the digital twin model can dynamically update the equipment operation status, simulate the complex building environment impact, and improve the ability to predict energy consumption trends. In the case of changes in building equipment configuration or fluctuations in environmental conditions, the digital twin model can be adjusted in real time to ensure the accuracy of energy-saving strategies and overcome the lack of adaptability of traditional optimization methods in dynamic environments.

[0065] Furthermore, the volatility of the control strategy is introduced , which can prevent unnecessary energy consumption or user discomfort caused by frequent adjustments to device parameters. Taking the inverse, low energy consumption solutions are encouraged, and at the same time comfort and stability constraints are introduced to make the optimization results more in line with actual needs.

[0072] It should be noted that neural network hyperparameters are difficult to adjust manually. Traditional methods rely on manual parameter adjustment, which is inefficient and unstable. Neural network models with fixed hyperparameters are difficult to adapt to different building environments, resulting in reduced prediction accuracy.

[0073] Furthermore, the genetic algorithm can search for the optimal hyperparameter combination in a short time, improving the training efficiency. Compared with the fixed hyperparameter model, the neural network optimized by the genetic algorithm can adapt to different building environments and improve the effectiveness of energy-saving strategies.

[0074] In step S3, a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the hyperparameters of the baseline neural network. Compared with the traditional fixed hyperparameter neural network, the model optimized by the genetic algorithm can dynamically adjust the hyperparameters and improve the prediction ability of the neural network. The genetic algorithm automatically optimizes the hyperparameters to avoid the inefficient process of repeated manual parameter adjustment of the traditional neural network and improve the computing efficiency.

[0083] The Q value is iteratively updated through the Bellman equation to continuously optimize the strategy.

[0084] To avoid local optimality, a greedy strategy is used to balance exploration and utilization. During the training process, the convergence of the Q value is continuously monitored. When the strategy converges, that is, the Q value change is lower than the set threshold, the training is terminated.

[0085] The optimal control strategy is selected from the training results and applied to the energy-saving control of building equipment to ensure the lowest energy consumption of the building while maintaining user comfort. The optimal control strategy is expressed as: ; in, represents the optimal control strategy, including the optimal control strategy for the HVAC system, It should be noted that traditional optimization methods often aim to minimize energy consumption while ignoring the user's comfort experience. Control methods based on short-term optimization are prone to fall into local optimality, while reinforcement learning can evaluate long-term benefits.

[0086] Furthermore, compared to fixed rule control, reinforcement learning can continuously optimize strategies based on historical data and real-time feedback to improve adaptability. Through the reward mechanism, it can ensure energy saving while not affecting user comfort.

[0087] In step S4, the optimized strategy is input into the deep reinforcement learning model for strategy iteration. Compared with the traditional energy-saving control method based on static rules, reinforcement learning can continuously optimize the control strategy under different environmental conditions to ensure that the strategy always has the best energy-saving effect. Traditional energy-saving methods often only focus on minimizing energy consumption, while reinforcement learning can maintain user comfort while saving energy through a reward mechanism, ensuring that intelligent control does not affect user experience. Since reinforcement learning can continuously adjust the strategy based on environmental feedback, this method can adapt to different building types and environmental conditions, improving the versatility of the control system.

[0094] Example 2 is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an intelligent energy-saving control method and system for green building equipment based on artificial intelligence. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through simulation experiments.

[0095] This embodiment aims to verify the actual effect of the intelligent energy-saving control method and system of green building equipment based on artificial intelligence in optimizing building energy consumption and improving energy-saving efficiency. The experiment selected a smart office building as the research object, which includes an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system, an intelligent lighting system and an elevator dispatching system. During the experiment, the building environment data, including indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, etc., were first collected through sensors, and the data was preprocessed to eliminate outliers and perform normalization.

[0096] Subsequently, the digital twin model was used to simulate the energy consumption of building equipment and train the baseline neural network model to generate a preliminary energy-saving control strategy. The neural network input is environmental data and equipment status data, and the output is the energy consumption prediction value. In order to optimize the hyperparameters of the model, the experiment used a genetic algorithm to search for hyperparameters, including the number of neural network layers, learning rate, regularization parameters, etc., to ensure the generation of the optimal energy consumption control strategy. Finally, the optimized strategy was input into the deep reinforcement learning model, and the energy-saving strategy was continuously iterated through reinforcement learning. After each iteration, the energy-saving efficiency and comfort score were calculated, and the optimal strategy was selected through the reward mechanism.

[0097] The experiment set up a comparative test, using the most common rule-based energy-saving method in the current industry as the reference group. The rule-based control method sets the equipment operation strategy according to fixed environmental parameters, such as the temperature of the HVAC system is set to a constant 22°C, and the lighting system maintains 80% brightness during the day. The method of the present invention is based on dynamic data optimization control strategy, so that energy-related parameters such as HVAC temperature, lighting brightness, and elevator scheduling can be adjusted in real time to adapt to different environmental requirements.

[0098] The experiment lasted for 30 days, and the building energy consumption data was recorded 24 hours a day, and the comfort feedback of the building occupants was counted. During the experiment, the recorded environmental parameters, equipment operating status and optimized control strategy are shown in Table 1.

[0099] Table 1 Our invention experimental data table

[0100] In order to verify the advantages of the method of the present invention, the energy-saving effect of the rule-based control method is compared, as shown in Table 2. The comfort calculation method is as follows: Temperature score: According to the human body's comfortable temperature range (usually 20℃~26℃), an optimal temperature range is set. If the room temperature is within this range, the highest score is given; when the temperature deviates from this range, the score gradually decreases, and the greater the deviation, the lower the score.

[0101] Humidity score: The relative humidity suitable for the human body is usually between 40% and 60%. Too high or too low humidity will affect comfort, so the score is adjusted according to the degree of humidity deviation.

[0102] Lighting score: Considering daily office or life scenes, set the optimal lighting range (for example, 300~500 lux is recommended for office areas). If the actual light intensity is within this range, the score will be the highest. Too bright or too dark will reduce the score.

[0103] Carbon dioxide concentration score: Too high CO2 concentration will lead to a decline in air quality, affecting people's concentration and comfort. Generally speaking, CO2 concentration is more suitable in the range of 400~800ppm, and exceeding 1000ppm will have a significant impact on comfort. Therefore, the score is dynamically adjusted based on concentration changes.

[0104] Equipment noise score: The operating noise of building equipment such as HVAC systems and elevators also affects comfort. If the noise level is maintained within a reasonable range (for example, office areas usually do not exceed 50 dB), the score will be high; if the equipment is frequently started and stopped, generating loud noise, the score will be reduced accordingly.

[0105] The scores of the above factors are weighted and calculated according to the self-set weights to obtain the final comprehensive comfort score. The weight setting can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the experimental environment. In this experiment, the weight design is 35% for indoor temperature, 20% for humidity, 20% for CO2 concentration, 15% for light intensity, and 10% for equipment noise.

[0106] Finally, all scores are weighted and summed to obtain a comprehensive comfort score, which is normalized to the range of 0 to 10 to intuitively compare the comfort performance under different control strategies.

[0107] Table 2. Comparative experimental data of existing technologies

[0108] The experimental data analysis shows that the method of the present invention is superior to the existing technology in terms of energy saving effect and comfort. First, in terms of HVAC energy consumption, after adopting intelligent optimization control based on artificial intelligence, energy consumption dropped from 15.2kWh to 11.8kWh, and the energy saving rate reached 22.4%. This is mainly attributed to the fact that the optimized control strategy can adaptively adjust the temperature set point according to environmental changes, avoiding energy waste caused by fixed rule control.

[0109] In terms of lighting energy consumption, the optimization strategy can dynamically adjust the lighting brightness according to the light intensity, reducing energy consumption from 4.5kWh to 3.2kWh, with an energy saving rate of 28.9%. In addition, the elevator scheduling optimization strategy reduces the number of unnecessary elevator starts and stops from 22 times to 15 times, which not only reduces energy consumption but also increases the life of equipment.

[0110] The improvement in the comfort score (from 7.5 to 8.9) shows that the optimization strategy can ensure energy saving while avoiding the degradation of user experience. Traditional energy-saving methods often aim to minimize energy consumption while ignoring the comfort of the indoor environment. The method of the present invention uses a reinforcement learning model to balance energy consumption and comfort, so that the final control strategy is more in line with user needs.

[0111] Overall, the method of the present invention not only has obvious advantages in energy consumption optimization, but also achieves a significant improvement in user experience. The method can adapt to different building environments and has better versatility. Compared with traditional rule-based control methods, this method can dynamically optimize energy-saving strategies to ensure the lowest building energy consumption while maintaining user comfort, making it widely popularized in practical applications.

[0112] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
