However, as energy-intensive locations, energy optimization in central air conditioning and refrigeration rooms has become a key research focus in the field of energy conservation and emission reduction. Central air conditioning equipment operates under complex interdependencies and is influenced by multidimensional data, such as equipment operating parameters, energy consumption status, and environmental changes, increasing the complexity of system optimization.
[0003] Existing energy-saving methods for central air conditioning and refrigeration rooms typically rely on traditional optimization methods based on rules or statistical models. These methods exhibit the following significant shortcomings when faced with the dynamic changes in the operating environment and the complex connections between multiple devices:
[0004] 1. Difficulty in modeling complex device relationships: Traditional optimization methods cannot effectively capture the nonlinear and complex interactions between devices, which can easily lead to deviations in optimization results.
[0005] 2. Insufficient real-time prediction capabilities: Existing methods usually rely on static models in energy consumption prediction, which makes it difficult to adapt to changes in equipment operating status and environmental conditions in real time.
[0006] 3. Single optimization strategy: Traditional methods rely on fixed rules for optimization, lack dynamic adjustment capabilities, and are unable to fully utilize real-time data to generate targeted optimization solutions.

[0162] Example 1:
[0163] In order to verify the feasibility of the present invention, we applied the present invention to the energy-saving management system of a central air-conditioning and refrigeration room in a large commercial building. The building consists of multiple floors and different functional areas. The energy consumption of the air-conditioning and refrigeration system accounts for a large proportion of the overall energy consumption, especially in summer and during high-load usage. Due to the uncertain operational needs of the building, traditional energy-saving methods rely on fixed control strategies and cannot cope with real-time changes in the environment and load demands, resulting in unnecessary energy waste in the system during peak load periods. In order to address this problem, the building management decided to adopt the energy-saving method for central air-conditioning and refrigeration rooms based on graph neural networks proposed in this invention, so as to improve the energy efficiency of the system and reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
[0164] In this application scenario, the graph neural network model of the present invention first monitors the operating status of the refrigeration equipment in real time, collects the energy consumption data and environmental data of each device, and constructs a dynamic optimization model of energy efficiency interaction between devices by updating and optimizing the node feature vectors and edge weights. With the change of seasons and fluctuations in external temperature, the load demand of the refrigeration room has changed significantly. Traditional control methods are often unable to adjust in time, resulting in energy waste during high load periods. The present invention automatically adjusts the start and stop sequence of the equipment, compressor frequency, refrigerant flow distribution and fan speed by dynamically learning and adjusting the collaborative relationship between devices, so that the system can respond quickly when the load changes, thereby achieving global optimal energy efficiency.
[0165] During the implementation process, the system continuously updates the energy efficiency control strategy of the equipment through the energy consumption data and environmental variables fed back by the real-time data acquisition module. Through the training and optimization of the graph neural network model, the node feature vectors and edge weights are continuously adjusted, thereby optimizing the energy efficiency interaction and collaborative work between devices. The nonlinear relationship and real-time changes between devices are often not fully considered in traditional methods, but the present invention successfully overcomes this problem through dynamic learning based on graph neural networks. As the system is optimized, the graph neural network can adjust the operating strategy of the equipment according to the feedback data, especially in the event of load fluctuations and environmental changes, and can respond in a timely manner.
[0166] This invention also incorporates a feedback mechanism, enabling the system to continuously adjust itself through real-time monitoring and data analysis. Whenever the system detects a discrepancy between a device's actual energy consumption and its predicted results, it immediately initiates a model update to optimize the energy efficiency interactions between devices. This adaptive adjustment mechanism allows the system to continuously improve energy efficiency over the long term, avoiding the constraints of manual intervention and fixed rules, resulting in sustained improvements in energy savings.
[0167] To evaluate the effectiveness of this invention, we implemented the method in the building and compared the system's energy efficiency before and after implementation. The following table shows the energy savings in the building's central air conditioning and refrigeration room before and after the system was deployed:
[0168]
[0169] As can be seen from the above data table, the system after the application of the present invention has significantly improved energy efficiency. Especially during high-load operation, the traditional system cannot flexibly adjust the collaborative relationship between equipment, resulting in excessive energy consumption. The present invention greatly improves the energy saving effect through real-time monitoring and dynamic optimization. For example, the total monthly energy consumption was reduced from 52,000 kWh before deployment to 39,000 kWh, and the energy saving rate reached 25%. In addition, the optimization adjustment of parameters such as equipment start-stop sequence, compressor frequency, refrigerant flow distribution and fan speed also demonstrates the system's efficient adaptability in a dynamically changing environment.
[0170] Furthermore, after implementing this invention, the system can continuously improve energy efficiency through real-time data feedback and adaptive optimization mechanisms. During specific time periods (such as peak summer months or extreme external temperature fluctuations), the system can quickly identify load changes and automatically adjust the equipment's operating mode, ensuring the refrigeration system always maintains optimal energy efficiency. This not only reduces unnecessary energy consumption but also significantly extends the equipment's lifespan and minimizes equipment wear and tear caused by excessive operation.
[0171] As demonstrated in the aforementioned examples, the graph neural network-based energy-saving method for central air-conditioning and refrigeration rooms of the present invention effectively addresses the inability of traditional energy-saving methods to adapt to environmental changes and load fluctuations. It optimizes the coordinated operation of equipment in real time during dynamic operation, significantly improving the overall energy efficiency of the system and achieving the desired energy-saving effects. Through efficient data processing, dynamic optimization, and adaptive adjustment, the system ensures the long-term sustainability of energy-saving effects while reducing reliance on manual intervention and fixed control strategies, further enhancing the intelligence and efficiency of energy-saving management.
[0172] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
