[0035] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for optimizing control parameters of the cooling side of a chiller provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for optimizing control parameters of the cooling side of a chiller, comprising:

[0036] S11, the chiller obtains a host power model, a cooling tower power model and a cooling pump power model.

[0037] S12, the chiller determines the optimization target of the control parameters of the cooling side of the chiller according to the host power model, the cooling tower power model and the cooling pump power model.

[0038] S13, the chiller inputs the optimization target of the chiller cooling side control parameters and the optimization range of the chiller cooling side control parameters into the optimizer to obtain the optimization result of the chiller cooling side control parameters output by the optimizer.

[0039] S14, the chiller controls the chiller to optimize control parameters according to the optimization result.

[0040] In this solution, the chiller can obtain a host power model. Specifically, obtaining the host power model includes: establishing an initial host power model; iteratively training the initial host power model to obtain the host power model. As an example, the establishment of the initial host power model can refer to the industry standard formula. That is, P = a0 + a1 (T cws / out -T chsup )+a2(T cws / out -T chsup ) 2 +a3Q+a4Q 2 +a5Q(T cws / out -T chsup ), where P is the power of the host, a0 to a5 are the coefficients of the regression term, T cws / out is the cooling water outlet temperature of the host, T chsup The outlet water temperature is set for the host's chilled water, and Q is the current instantaneous cooling capacity. In this way, the initial host power model can be accurately established. Furthermore, the initial host power model can be iteratively trained to obtain the host power model. Specifically, the chiller iteratively trains the initial host power model, including: selecting recent data of a user-set duration as the data source; processing the data source, including but not limited to processing duplicate values, missing values, abnormal fluctuation values, and aligning the time dimension of input and output; selecting an error criterion formula, and rolling training with a new data source to achieve iterative update of the initial host power model; using the iteratively updated initial host power model as the host power model.

[0041] In this embodiment, the chiller can obtain a cooling tower power model. Specifically, obtaining the cooling tower power model includes: establishing an initial cooling tower power model; iteratively training the initial cooling tower power model to obtain the cooling tower power model. As an example, a machine learning model can be used for modeling, and appropriate parameters can be selected for model establishment. As a preferred solution, the parameters used for initial cooling tower power modeling include but are not limited to the total power of the host, the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling tower, the frequency of the cooling tower, the cooling water flow, the cooling water supply pressure difference, and the instantaneous cooling capacity, and the output parameter is the power of the cooling tower. In this way, the initial cooling tower power model can be accurately established. Further, the initial cooling tower power model can be iteratively trained to obtain the cooling tower power model. Specifically, the chiller iteratively trains the initial cooling tower power model, including: selecting recent data of a user-set duration as a data source; processing the data source, including but not limited to processing repeated values, missing values, abnormal fluctuation values, and aligning the time dimension of input and output; selecting an error criterion formula, and rolling training through a new data source to achieve iterative update of the initial cooling tower power model; using the iteratively updated initial cooling tower power model as the cooling tower power model.

[0042] In this embodiment, the chiller can obtain a cooling pump power model. Specifically, obtaining the cooling pump power model includes: establishing an initial cooling pump power model; iteratively training the initial cooling pump power model to obtain the cooling pump power model. As an example, a tree model can be used for modeling, and appropriate parameters can be selected for modeling. It can be understood that the parameters used for initial cooling pump power modeling include the operating frequency of the cooling pump and the startup data of the cooling pump, and the output parameter is the total power of the cooling pump. Here, the startup data of the cooling pump refers to the coding combination of the startup states of different cooling pumps. For example, there are three cooling pumps, two of which are in the on state, and 1 in the coding represents the on state, and 0 represents the off state, then the startup data of the cooling pump can be 110, 101 or 011. In another example, modeling can also be performed in a similar manner to the host power model, that is, a polynomial formula is used to establish the initial cooling pump power model. In this way, the initial cooling pump power model can be accurately established. Further, the initial cooling pump power model can be iteratively trained to obtain the cooling pump power model. Specifically, the chiller iteratively trains the initial cooling pump power model, including: selecting recent data of a user-set duration as a data source; processing the data source, including but not limited to processing duplicate values, missing values, abnormal fluctuation values, and aligning the time dimension of input and output; selecting an error criterion formula, and performing rolling training with a new data source to achieve iterative update of the initial cooling pump power model; and using the iteratively updated initial cooling pump power model as the cooling pump power model.

[0043] Furthermore, after the chiller obtains the host power model, cooling tower power model and cooling pump power model, the optimization target of the chiller cooling side control parameters is determined by combining the host power model, cooling tower power model and cooling pump power model. Specifically, the chiller determines the optimization target of the chiller cooling side control parameters according to the host power model, cooling tower power model and cooling pump power model, including: the chiller obtains the output value of the host power model, the output value of the cooling tower power model and the output value of the cooling pump power model; the chiller adds the output value of the host power model, the output value of the cooling tower power model and the output value of the cooling pump power model to obtain the target total power; the chiller takes the minimum target total power as the optimization target of the chiller cooling side control parameters. With this solution, the accurate determination of the optimization target of the chiller cooling side control parameters can be achieved.

[0044] Furthermore, the chiller inputs the optimization target of the chiller cooling side control parameters and the optimization range of the chiller cooling side control parameters into the optimizer. Among them, the optimization target of the chiller cooling side control parameters is to minimize the target total power, and the optimization range of the chiller cooling side control parameters can be input in advance by the business personnel; specifically, the optimization range of the chiller cooling side control parameters includes the chilled water outlet temperature range, the cooling pump number range, the cooling pump frequency range, the cooling tower number range and the cooling tower frequency range.

[0045] In this embodiment, if the optimizer algorithm adopts the particle swarm optimization algorithm, the optimization process of the optimizer includes:

[0046] The chiller obtains the cooling tower outlet temperature prediction model.

[0047] The chiller extracts the recent value of the outlet tower temperature, the characteristic matrix, the instantaneous cooling capacity and the current target total power from the real-time database.

[0048] The chiller inputs the optimization parameters, recent values ​​of the outlet temperature, characteristic matrix, instantaneous cooling capacity and current target total power into the cooling tower outlet temperature prediction model to obtain the outlet temperature prediction value output by the cooling tower outlet temperature prediction model.

[0049] The chiller obtains the total cooling water flow determined by the cooling pump flow model.

[0050] The chiller calculates the main unit cooling water outlet temperature based on the predicted value of the outlet tower temperature and the total cooling water flow rate.

[0051] The chiller inputs the main engine cooling water outlet temperature into the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity model to determine whether the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity is sufficient;

[0052] The chiller determines the data with sufficient heat dissipation capacity judged by the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity model as valid optimization data, and substitutes it into the group to continue to search for the best result; otherwise, it is determined as invalid optimization data and refused to enter the group.

[0053] Optionally, the host cooling water outlet temperature can be calculated based on the predicted value of the outlet tower temperature and the total cooling water flow rate. Specifically, the host cooling water outlet temperature is calculated in the following manner: host cooling water outlet temperature = cooling tower outlet temperature predicted value + (cooling capacity + host total power) / cooling water total flow rate. In this way, the host cooling water outlet temperature can be accurately calculated.

[0054] In this embodiment, it can be understood that, considering that there are non-steady-state data in the actual data, which is greatly affected by environmental changes, and it cannot be guaranteed that the heat generated by the host at the current moment can be dissipated during actual operation, the present embodiment adopts the generative cooling tower outlet temperature prediction to take the sequence value of the features arranged in time sequence as the feature input. Specifically, the feature matrix may include a feature sequence of t time steps, and the feature sequence includes a wet-bulb temperature sequence, an outdoor temperature sequence, an instantaneous cooling capacity sequence, a cooling pump frequency sequence, a cooling tower frequency sequence, a target total power sequence, and a start-stop combination dummy feature sequence, etc., so as to form a feature matrix. Further, the acquired feature matrix can be input into a simple generative network through an encoder, and high-dimensional features can be obtained by using the multi-layer encoder and attention mechanism in the simple generative network; and under the premise that the cooling tower outlet temperature at the first n moments is input into the multi-layer decoder of the simple generative network through a decoder, the generated predicted value of the cooling tower outlet temperature at the next n moments is obtained. Here, the generated predicted values ​​of the cooling tower outlet temperature at the next n moments can be the same or different. In this way, a generative forecasting method is adopted to comprehensively consider environmental factors, control parameters, and their temporal variation trends, making the forecast results more accurate.

[0055] In one example, the training and iteration process of the cooling tower outlet temperature prediction model includes: the user defines the length of historical data, the feature matrix time step t and the number of prediction steps n; the scrolling data frame is used to obtain the historical data of the time series length according to the user definition; the data is subjected to missing values, abnormal values, time series interpolation, smoothing and steady-state segmentation; it is determined whether the processed data is sufficient; when the processed data is sufficient, the model training preparation is carried out, and the preparation process includes but is not limited to model building, data standardization, training set test set validation set batching and error function determination; the algorithm business personnel autonomously control the model iteration training, and set the iteration end standard under the premise of ensuring accuracy; it is determined whether the model verification error has reached the output standard; when the output standard is reached, the training iteration of the cooling tower outlet temperature prediction model is output. In this way, the training iteration of the cooling tower outlet temperature prediction model can be accurately obtained. It can be understood that in the actual model training iteration process, it is necessary to first determine the length of the historical data used for training, such as using the data of the previous month or the data of the previous year for training. Secondly, it is necessary to determine the time series length of the feature matrix. This dimension will be shorter than the length of the previous training time, generally tens of minutes or hours. The specific number of groups of data depends on the frequency of the data source. Finally, it is necessary to determine the step size to be predicted, such as predicting the next ten minutes or half an hour.

[0056] Further, after obtaining the optimization result of the control parameter of the cooling side of the chiller output by the optimizer, the chiller is controlled to optimize the control parameters according to the optimization result. Here, controlling the chiller to optimize the control parameters according to the optimization result includes: determining the parameter optimization time; controlling the chiller to optimize the control parameters according to the optimization result and the parameter optimization time. Optionally, determining the parameter optimization time includes: determining the parameter trigger interval; taking the sum of the current moment and the parameter trigger interval as the parameter optimization time. It can be understood that the parameter trigger interval cannot exceed the maximum prediction time step of the cooling tower outlet temperature prediction model. For example, if the cooling tower outlet temperature prediction model predicts the cooling tower outlet temperature prediction value every 5 minutes in the next 30 minutes, then the trigger interval of the predictive control can only be selected in 5 to 30 minutes, with a step size of 5 minutes. In this way, the parameter trigger interval can be accurately determined to achieve accurate acquisition of the parameter optimization time.

[0057] The optimization method for the cooling side control parameters of the chiller provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted, by obtaining the host power model, cooling tower power model and cooling pump power model; and according to the host power model, cooling tower power model and cooling pump power model, the optimization target of the cooling side control parameters of the chiller is determined; thereby the optimization target of the cooling side control parameters of the chiller and the optimization range of the cooling side control parameters of the chiller are input into the optimizer to obtain the optimization result of the cooling side control parameters of the chiller output by the optimizer; and then the chiller is controlled to optimize the control parameters according to the optimization result. In this way, the control parameters of the cooling side of the chiller can be optimized more reasonably in combination with the historical operating conditions of the chiller and the physical mechanism of the cooling side, effectively meeting the energy-saving control requirements of the chiller.

[0061] S23, the chiller takes the minimum target total power as the optimization target of the control parameters of the cooling side of the chiller.

[0062] In this solution, after obtaining the host power model, cooling tower power model and cooling pump power model, the chiller can obtain the output value of the host power model, the output value of the cooling tower power model and the output value of the cooling pump power model respectively; thus, the output value of the host power model, the output value of the cooling tower power model and the output value of the cooling pump power model are added together to calculate the target total power, so as to minimize the target total power as the optimization target of the control parameters on the cooling side of the chiller. With this solution, the optimal total energy consumption of the cooling side and the host can be taken as the goal, providing an accurate data basis for the optimization process of the control parameters, and effectively meeting the energy-saving control needs of users.

[0074] In this solution, the chiller can obtain the startup data of the cooling pump and the operating power of the cooling pump. Here, the startup data of the cooling pump refers to the coding combination of the startup status of different cooling pumps. For example, there are three cooling pumps, two of which are in the on state, 1 in the code represents the on state, and 0 represents the off state, then the startup data of the cooling pump can be 110, 101 or 011. Furthermore, the chiller can input the startup data of the cooling pump and the operating power of the cooling pump into the cooling pump power model to obtain the output value of the cooling pump power model.

[0077] The chiller inputs the optimization target of the chiller cooling side control parameters, the optimization range of the chiller cooling side control parameters and the target constraints into the optimizer to obtain the optimization results of the chiller cooling side control parameters output by the optimizer.

[0078] In this solution, the chiller can determine the target constraint conditions. Specifically, the chiller determines the target constraint conditions, including: the chiller establishes a cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity model of the chiller. The chiller uses the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity output by the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity model as the target constraint condition. With this solution, the target constraint conditions can be accurately determined. Furthermore, the chiller can input the optimization target of the chiller cooling side control parameters, the optimization range of the chiller cooling side control parameters and the target constraint conditions into the optimizer to obtain the optimization results of the chiller cooling side control parameters output by the optimizer. With this solution, the optimization can be limited by the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity model to effectively avoid returning unreasonable control parameters.

[0079] Optionally, the chiller determines target constraints including:

[0080] The chiller establishes the ultimate heat dissipation capacity model of the cooling side of the chiller.

[0081] The chiller takes the cooling side maximum heat dissipation capacity output by the cooling side maximum heat dissipation capacity model as the target constraint.

[0082] Understandably, the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity model is used to determine whether the cooling side can cool the cooling water under the current situation. The main function of this model is to limit the scope of optimization and prevent the cooling water outlet temperature recommended by the optimization result from being a temperature that cannot be reached by the system limit. In one example, the establishment of the model mainly relies on test conditions. By adjusting the cooling pump and cooling tower to full frequency, the outlet water temperature of the chiller side is adjusted under different weather conditions, and then the inlet tower temperature of the cooling tower is obtained as the data source.

[0083] Specifically, the chiller establishes a cooling side extreme heat dissipation capacity model, including: the chiller tests and obtains data sources; the chiller processes data; the chiller trains and iterates the cooling side extreme heat dissipation capacity model; and the chiller outputs the trained cooling side extreme heat dissipation capacity model. Among them, the chiller tests and obtains data sources, including: testing under different environmental parameters, making the cooling side fully loaded, and testing and obtaining the difference between the cooling tower inlet temperature and the wet bulb under different cooling capacities and host loads. The chiller processes data, including: aligning inputs and stabilized outputs, processing abnormal values, duplicate values, invalid outliers and null values, and grouping them according to load conditions. The chiller trains and iterates the cooling side extreme heat dissipation capacity model, including: training the model in groups so that there is an extreme heat dissipation capacity model for the cooling side in each load range. It should be noted that during the model iteration process, the updated data sources will be sent to their respective groups for separate training and iteration. The chiller outputs the trained cooling side extreme heat dissipation capacity model, including outputting files for each group and storing them in the cloud server. In this way, the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity model can be accurately established. Furthermore, the chiller can use the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity output by the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity model as a target constraint. In this way, the optimization can be restricted by the cooling side limit heat dissipation capacity model, effectively avoiding the return of unreasonable control parameters.
