Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air-conditioning energy-saving management, and specifically relates to a method, device, equipment, medium and product for optimizing the operation of a central air-conditioning system. Background Art

[0002] A central air conditioning system centrally manages the air conditioning needs of an entire building or area, using air ducts, water systems, or refrigerants to deliver cooling (heat) and heat to precisely control the indoor environment. A central air conditioning system consists of a heat and cooling subsystem, an air conditioning subsystem, piping, and terminal equipment. It utilizes the principle of liquid vaporization refrigeration to provide the required cooling to the air conditioning subsystem to offset the indoor heat load, while the heat source subsystem provides the required heat to offset the indoor cooling load. Specifically, the heat and cooling subsystem includes the refrigeration unit, cooling tower, chilled water pump, and cooling water pump, responsible for generating the heat and cooling. The air conditioning subsystem includes fan coil units, modular air conditioning units, and fresh air handlers, responsible for delivering the heat and cooling to each room. Piping connects the heat and cooling subsystems to the air conditioning subsystem, enabling heat and cooling transfer. Terminal equipment includes fan coil units and indoor units, providing direct heating and cooling services to the rooms.

[0003] At present, central air-conditioning systems have been widely used in large buildings, and their energy consumption accounts for a high proportion of the total energy consumption of the building. However, the existing central air-conditioning system operation and management solutions have the following main problems: (1) Insufficient dynamic parameter monitoring, that is, there is a lack of real-time monitoring of the dynamic parameters of each device in the system (such as real-time operating power, switch status and fault status, etc.). These parameters will change with the operation of the device and environmental changes. The existing solution cannot obtain these parameters in real time and use them for operation management, resulting in low system operation efficiency and excessive energy consumption; (2) Unbalanced equipment loss, that is, in the existing solution, the operating time of the equipment is not fully utilized to balance the equipment loss. Some equipment may be damaged prematurely due to excessive use, while other equipment is underused, resulting in uneven service life of different equipment; (3) Unclear definition of equipment roles, that is, the responsibilities of different devices in the central air-conditioning system (such as host role, slave role or backup role) are not clearly defined, resulting in a lack of logic in the behavior of the equipment at different operation stages; (4) Untimely response to equipment failure, that is, in the event of equipment failure or emergency, the existing solution lacks a rapid response mechanism. For example, when a device fails, the existing solution cannot automatically switch to the backup device, resulting in system shutdown or unstable operation.

[0004] Based on the above situation, how to optimize the operation of equipment in the central air-conditioning system to achieve energy saving and consumption reduction, efficient operation and equipment loss balancing of the system is a topic that technical personnel in this field urgently need to study.

Figure 1 As shown, the central air-conditioning system operation optimization method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps S1 to S4.

[0053] S1. Obtain static parameters of each device in the central air-conditioning system, wherein the static parameters include but are not limited to the rated power of the corresponding device.

[0054] In step S1, the central air conditioning system is composed of a cold and heat source subsystem, an air conditioning subsystem, a transmission pipeline, and terminal equipment. The cold and heat source subsystem includes, but is not limited to, a refrigeration unit, a cooling tower, a chilled water pump, and a cooling water pump, which are responsible for generating cold and heat sources; the air conditioning subsystem includes, but is not limited to, fan coil units, a combined air conditioning unit, and a fresh air handler, which are responsible for transmitting the cold and heat sources to each room; the transmission pipeline is used to connect the cold and heat source subsystem and the air conditioning subsystem to achieve cold and heat transmission; the terminal equipment includes fan coil units and indoor units, which are used to directly provide cold and heat services to the room; thus, the various devices may include, but are not limited to, a refrigeration unit, a cooling tower, a chilled water pump, a cooling water pump, a combined air conditioning unit, a fresh air handler, and / or an indoor unit. The static parameters may be pre-stored in the equipment file through, but not limited to, manual entry for ready access. In order to address the problem of unclear definition of device roles in the central air-conditioning system, preferably, the static parameters also include but are not limited to the defined roles of the corresponding devices, wherein the defined roles are divided into but not limited to the host role, the slave role and / or the backup role, etc. The host role refers to the device role that starts when the central air-conditioning system starts and takes on the main load task, the slave role refers to the device role that starts when the host device is running and takes on the secondary load task and / or takes over the host task when the host device fails, and the backup role refers to the device role that automatically starts when the host device fails and ensures uninterrupted operation of the system. The defined roles of the aforementioned various devices are determined by the management personnel based on the device configuration and system design requirements, and can be stored in the device file by manual entry, and can also be managed through the system configuration file (that is, the role and responsibilities of each device are clearly defined in the system configuration file, so that the defined roles of different devices can be determined by reading these configuration files during system operation management). In addition, the defined roles of the aforementioned devices can be dynamically adjusted according to the system operating status and operating requirements when the system is running; for example, when the system load increases, the device defined as the slave role can be dynamically adjusted to the master role to share more load; when the device defined as the master role fails, another device defined as the slave role or the backup role can automatically switch to the master role to ensure the normal operation of the system.

The dynamic parameters can be specifically collected and uploaded in real time by existing Internet of Things sensors. For example, the real-time operating power of each device can be obtained by real-time collection through existing power meter products. The operating time can specifically be the actual operating time or the equivalent operating time, wherein the former can be obtained by recording the switch status of the corresponding device in real time and accumulating the duration of the switch status being on, while the latter can be obtained by recording the real-time operating power of the corresponding device in real time and calculating it according to the following formula:
