[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the air compressor variable frequency energy-saving control method based on data analysis described in this embodiment includes:
[0041] Collect real-time operating data of the air compressor during operation, including exhaust pressure, air flow, motor current, inverter output frequency and ambient temperature;
[0042] Performing dynamic trend prediction on the real-time operating data through a data analysis model, constructing a multi-dimensional operating condition characteristic curve, identifying the gas consumption fluctuation pattern based on the characteristic curve, and performing predictive judgment before the frequency fluctuation amplitude exceeds a set threshold;
[0043] The inverter control strategy is adjusted according to the prediction results, the frequency conversion response rate is buffered in advance, and when an abnormal load change trend is detected, the adaptive energy-saving mode is triggered and the compressor operating speed is adjusted in real time.
[0044] Real-time collection of key operating parameters of permanent magnet variable frequency screw air compressors, including the following:
[0045] A high-precision pressure sensor (such as a pressure transmitter) is installed at the compressor's exhaust port to monitor the compressed air output pressure in real time. This parameter reflects the current system's required air source pressure and is an important basis for adjusting the inverter's output frequency. The sampling frequency can be set between 100 and 500 milliseconds, adjusted based on actual response requirements.
[0046] Install a mass flowmeter or vortex flowmeter on the compressor's output or main pipeline to obtain real-time flow data from the gas system. This data is used to determine load changes at the gas user end and, combined with historical data, to predict short-term gas consumption trends, providing a reference for variable frequency control.
[0047] The VFD's built-in current sensing unit or an external Hall effect current sensor captures the instantaneous current value of the motor during operation. Motor current is a key indicator for evaluating load changes and determining system efficiency. It also serves as an early warning for potential problems such as overloads and mechanical failures.
[0048] Directly read the actual operating frequency output from the inverter to the main motor, reflecting changes in compressor speed. This parameter is dynamically correlated with exhaust pressure and air flow, making it a key control variable in the entire energy-saving control model.
[0049] Temperature sensors are installed at the compressor air inlet or in the machine room to monitor the operating environment. Ambient temperature directly affects compressor efficiency and motor heating. The system can adjust operating modes (such as automatic speed limit and enhanced heat dissipation) based on temperature changes to ensure safe and efficient equipment operation.
[0050] All of the above sensor data are connected to the data acquisition module through the PLC control system or industrial gateway and enter the central control unit for use in subsequent data analysis models for fusion calculation, working condition identification and predictive control.
[0051] The collected raw operating data (including exhaust pressure, air flow, motor current, inverter output frequency, ambient temperature, etc.) is first filtered, denoised and standardized to eliminate outliers and interference signals to ensure the accuracy and stability of subsequent analysis.
[0052] The system divides the data window according to the set time interval (such as 1 minute, 5 minutes, etc.), extracts the data features within each period, such as the average, maximum, minimum, standard deviation and other statistics, and calculates the correlation and coordinated change trend between the variables.
[0053] Introduce time series analysis (such as ARIMA model), machine learning algorithms (such as LSTM neural network, random forest regression) or industrial big data analysis methods to predict the trend of various operating parameters over time.
[0054] The present invention uses a random forest regression model to perform dynamic trend prediction on multi-dimensional real-time operating data collected by air compressors. The specific steps are as follows:
[0055] The original operating data collected from the air compressor system includes but is not limited to the following parameters:
[0056] Exhaust pressure (P), air flow (Q), motor current (I), inverter output frequency (F) and ambient temperature (T); in addition, timestamps and historical trend data (such as the mean, standard deviation, slope, etc. within the previous n minutes) can be introduced as auxiliary features. The above parameters are constructed as the input feature vector set X = {x1, x2, ..., x n}, the corresponding prediction target is the changing trend of key parameters (such as pressure and frequency) within a future time window.
[0057] Extract samples from historical running data in a sliding window manner. Each sample contains:
[0058] Feature parameters at the current and previous moments (as input);
[0059] The value of the target parameter within the next time period (e.g., 30 seconds or 1 minute in the future) (as output);
[0060] Construct training set D = {(X t ,Y t+Δt )}, used for supervised learning, where X t is the input feature vector at time t, Y t+Δt is the target value (such as frequency, pressure) at the future Δt time;
[0061] Use the random forest algorithm to build multiple decision trees, each of which is trained independently on different training subsets and feature subsets to enhance generalization ability. The training process includes:
[0062] Bootstrap sampling method is used to subsample the training data;
[0063] Select the best splitting features and splitting points at the nodes of each tree;
[0064] Construct a regression forest consisting of multiple trees, and the final prediction result is the average of the prediction results of all trees.
[0065] During the operation of the air compressor system, the feature vector X at the current time point is collected in real time. t , input into the trained random forest model, and output the predicted value Y t+Δt , that is, predicting the changing trend of key system parameters within a future time window.
[0066] Combine multiple prediction parameters (such as pressure, frequency, and current changes over the next 30 seconds) and plot them into a multidimensional time series curve, creating a working condition trend map. The horizontal axis represents time (t), and the vertical axis represents the values of the different prediction variables (such as P(t), F(t), and I(t)). A set of vector data is generated at each time point, forming a working condition trajectory.
[0067] Multiple parameters output by real-time predictions are continuously monitored in the form of sliding time windows to generate a sequence of dynamic characteristic curves. For example, within each 30-second sliding window, the changing trend curves of each parameter are recorded and the data is continuously refreshed.
[0068] Based on historical operating data, several typical gas consumption fluctuation patterns are pre-defined, including:
[0069] Steady-state mode: flow and frequency change slightly, and the compressor maintains constant speed operation;
[0070] Light load periodic fluctuation: The flow rate rises and falls periodically, with slight frequency jitter;
[0071] Rapid load fluctuations: flow rate suddenly rises or falls, with obvious frequency response;
[0072] Abnormal fluctuation / sudden change: The frequency fluctuates sharply for a short period of time, posing a potential risk of failure.
[0073] Using machine learning models such as K-means clustering or support vector machine (SVM), the above curves are extracted for features, and the current characteristic curve is classified into the closest historical operating condition mode to achieve automatic identification.
[0074] The inverter output frequency sequence in the future prediction period is obtained through the trained random forest regression model: F = {f1,f2,...,f m}; where f m Indicates the prediction frequency of the mth time step, where m is the number of steps in the prediction time window (e.g., 30 points are sampled in 30 seconds).
[0075] Calculate the maximum slope of the continuous rising segment in the frequency sequence, reflecting the intensity of the upward fluctuation of the frequency in a short period of time. It is defined as: Among them, S up Indicates the maximum uplink rate, indicating a sharp increase in frequency. i , t j Indicates two different sampling time points;
[0076] Similarly, the steepest slope of the consecutive descending segments in the sequence is extracted, defined as: S down It is the steepest descent slope. This value is a negative number. The larger its absolute value is, the more rapid the frequency drop is, which means the risk of frequency undershoot is higher.
[0077] The maximum upward rate and the steepest downward slope are normalized so that they are both between [0,1]. The average of the normalized maximum upward rate and the steepest downward slope is calculated to obtain the comprehensive fluctuation intensity assessment coefficient.
[0078] The obtained comprehensive fluctuation intensity assessment coefficient is compared with the predetermined threshold. If the comprehensive fluctuation intensity assessment coefficient is greater than the predetermined threshold, it is determined that the frequency instability zone is about to be entered. At this time, the inverter control strategy needs to be adjusted to buffer the frequency conversion response rate in advance.
[0079] The comprehensive fluctuation intensity assessment coefficient, load change rate and current unit gas energy consumption are used as input items of fuzzy logic;
[0080] The comprehensive fluctuation intensity assessment coefficient reflects the severity of the change in compressor frequency in a short period of time and is an important priori signal for determining whether the system is facing frequency shock.
[0081] The load change rate is calculated by calculating the first-order derivative of the air flow in real time. It represents the rate of load change per unit time. A positive value indicates an increase in load, a negative value indicates a decrease in load, and a zero or near-zero value indicates a stable system load. This parameter reflects the dynamics and fluctuation frequency of the system's operating conditions.
[0082] Energy consumption per unit of air volume is calculated by dividing the current compressor power by the output air volume, reflecting the compressor's current energy efficiency level. A high value indicates that the system is operating outside its optimal efficiency range and is an important basis for initiating energy-saving strategies.
[0083] The inverter response buffer factor, target operating frequency adjustment factor, and energy-saving mode switching signal are used as output items of the fuzzy logic;
[0084] The inverter response buffer factor (α) adjusts the inverter's acceleration and deceleration ramp rate, or how quickly the inverter responds to changes. A high α indicates a need for frequency response buffering, and the controller automatically slows down the inverter's frequency change rate to avoid mechanical shock or system instability caused by an overly rapid response.
[0085] The target operating frequency adjustment factor (β) is used to modify the compressor's target operating frequency to dynamically align with actual gas demand and the optimal energy efficiency point. When the system load is forecast to decrease, β is adjusted negatively, reducing the compressor frequency appropriately. Conversely, if the load is forecast to increase, β is adjusted positively, increasing the frequency in advance.
[0086] The energy-saving mode switch signal is a Boolean logic output that determines whether to immediately switch to energy-saving operation. When system load changes slowly, energy consumption is high, or fluctuates dramatically but does not require a rapid response, the system automatically enters energy-saving mode. This can include reducing operating frequency, initiating intermittent compression, or extending downtime.
[0087] The fuzzy controller implements the decision-making process through the following reasoning steps:
[0088] The continuous values of the input variables are converted into fuzzy linguistic variables through membership functions. For example, the comprehensive fluctuation intensity can be fuzzified into "low," "medium," "high," and "very high"; the load change rate can be fuzzified into "rapid decline," "slow change," and "rapid increase"; and the energy consumption per unit gas volume can be fuzzified into "high consumption," "medium consumption," and "low consumption."
[0089] The system performs pattern matching on fuzzy inputs based on an established rule base. For example, if the system experiences high fluctuation intensity, rapid load increases, or moderate unit energy consumption, the controller will determine that the system is about to face a dynamic load shock and has not yet reached efficient operation. Therefore, it should moderately buffer the response, increase the target frequency, and temporarily suspend energy-saving mode.
[0090] For example, when the "fluctuation intensity is medium", "the load changes smoothly", and "the energy consumption is high", the controller will infer that the current system is running redundantly, which can slow down the frequency conversion response speed, lower the operating frequency, and immediately enter the energy-saving mode to reduce energy consumption.
[0091] The inference results are converted into specific control outputs. For α and β, the center of gravity method is used for numerical defuzzification, and the output is a specific buffer factor and frequency adjustment amount (for example, α = 0.7 means the output change rate is limited to 70%; β = –2 means the target frequency is reduced by 2Hz). For the energy-saving mode switching signal, the correctness is directly determined based on the activation level of the fuzzy output.
[0092] The final processing results are transmitted to the inverter control unit and the compressor main control system to perform operations such as frequency adjustment, response buffering and energy-saving mode switching to form a closed-loop control.
[0093] Example 2, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the air compressor variable frequency energy-saving control system based on data analysis described in this embodiment includes a data acquisition module, a prediction and analysis module, and a control and adjustment module;
[0094] Data acquisition module: collects real-time operating data of the air compressor during operation, including exhaust pressure, air flow, motor current, inverter output frequency and ambient temperature;
[0095] Prediction and Analysis Module: This module uses a data analysis model to perform dynamic trend prediction on the real-time operating data, constructs a multi-dimensional operating condition characteristic curve, identifies the gas consumption fluctuation pattern based on the characteristic curve, and performs predictive judgment before the frequency fluctuation amplitude exceeds a set threshold;
[0096] Control adjustment module: Adjusts the inverter control strategy based on the prediction results, buffers the frequency conversion response rate in advance, and triggers the adaptive energy-saving mode when an abnormal load change trend is detected, adjusting the compressor operating speed in real time.
