[0070] The preprocessing includes decomposing the multimodal data using EMD decomposition, smoothing and denoising the decomposition results using Kalman filtering, normalizing the denoised multimodal data using Z-score, and adding timestamps.
[0071] By using multiple types of sensors, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, flow rate, and power, and combining EMD decomposition, Kalman filtering, and Z-score normalization, we ensure the temporal consistency, stability, and universal scale representation of the data, providing a clean and usable input source for subsequent models and improving computational stability.
[0072] Furthermore, initial pressure and temperature fields are generated using OFT circuits and linear mapping, optimized using a PINN neural network, and a global thermal field map and airflow field are generated using QVC circuits and quantum variational optimization algorithms. The global thermal field map is mapped to quantum Hilbert space, and cooling load demand is predicted using NQ-GRU, including:

[0083] Extract cooling load and wind speed data from multimodal data, and calculate cooling load fluctuation and wind speed fluctuation respectively using wavelet transform;
[0084] The mass conservation loss, momentum conservation loss, and energy conservation loss are weighted and summed (the weights of mass conservation loss, momentum conservation loss, and energy conservation loss are initialized using a uniform initialization method; thresholds for cooling load fluctuation and wind speed fluctuation are set according to empirical rules; cooling load fluctuation is selected if it exceeds the cooling load fluctuation threshold or wind speed fluctuation is exceeded; the weights of energy conservation and momentum conservation are adjusted; the total weight of the three is always 1) to generate the PINN total loss.
[0085] Initialize the Adam optimizer, iteratively calculate the total loss of PINN through forward propagation, calculate the gradient of the total loss of PINN with respect to the PINN parameters using the automatic differentiation method, update the PINN weights and biases using the Adam optimizer based on the gradient, monitor the relative change of the gradient norm using the relative change method, and stop optimization when the relative change no longer decreases.
[0086] The normalized velocity field, normalized initial pressure field, normalized initial temperature field, multimodal data, and grid point coordinates are input into the optimized PINN neural network, which outputs the optimized velocity field, pressure field, and temperature field.
[0087] Based on multimodal data, turbulent viscosity parameters and thermal conductivity coefficients were calculated using the RANS method.
[0088] Based on the thermal conductivity and turbulent viscosity, a QVC circuit is constructed, including qubits, RY, RZ, and CNOT gates, to encode the optimized velocity and temperature fields into initial quantum states, as shown in the following formula:
[0089]
[0090] Where Z is the normalization factor, v ' and k are the thermal conductivity coefficient and turbulent viscosity coefficient, respectively, |ψ> is the initial quantum state, M is the number of grid points, and a i Let x be the quantum state amplitude at the i-th grid point. i and u i Let T be the coordinates of the i-th grid point and the magnitude of the optimized velocity field (calculated based on the L2 norm), respectively. i The optimized temperature field for the i-th grid point;
[0091] By using a quantum variational optimization algorithm and embedding CFD conservation loss, the QVC parameters are updated. The update stops when the maximum number of iterations is reached (based on cross-validation settings), and the local thermal field and airflow field are output.
[0092] The local thermal field and airflow field are stitched together using the kd-tree algorithm, and then smoothed by Gaussian filtering to generate a global thermal field map and airflow field.
[0093] A time series is constructed from the global thermal field map using a sliding window, converted into quantum states through angle encoding, mapped to quantum Hilbert space, entangled state features are generated through QVFE, and dimensionality is reduced through quantum principal component analysis to generate an enhanced feature subset.

[0096] Based on the enhanced feature subset, the update gate and reset gate are optimized through a quantum gating mechanism to calculate the hidden state at the current time.
[0097] By mapping the current hidden state to the prediction target through a fully connected layer, the cold load demand for the predicted future time is output.
[0098] By mapping the velocity field to the quantum frequency domain using amplitude encoding and QFT circuits, and then deriving the pressure and temperature fields through linear mapping, the expressive power of frequency domain features in physical modeling is greatly enhanced. This helps to reveal the microscopic mechanisms of high-frequency disturbances and energy consumption changes in the flow field. By introducing three types of physical loss functions—mass conservation, momentum conservation, and energy conservation—and adaptively adjusting the loss weights based on cooling load and wind speed fluctuations, the physical consistency and robustness of the model under dynamic boundary conditions are effectively enhanced. Using QVC circuits and variational optimization algorithms, the thermal conductivity coefficient and turbulent viscosity information are encoded through adjustable electrical... The airflow field is generated by gate optimization, achieving scene reconstruction that closely conforms to physical laws and providing high-precision input data for cold load prediction. After the global thermal field map is converted into a time series, it is mapped to quantum states through angle encoding. Then, QVFE is used to extract entanglement features, and quantum PCA is combined for dimensionality reduction, which effectively compresses the feature dimension while retaining key information, improving learning efficiency and generalization ability. A quantum gating mechanism is introduced to dynamically adjust the weights of the update gate and the reset gate, enabling the model to have better memory stability and nonlinear modeling ability when learning complex time series patterns, further improving prediction accuracy and engineering usability.
[0099] S2. Use Sine chaotic mapping to generate chaotic sequences and extract local thermal field features. Generate device parameter actions using DQN, perturb the optimal device parameter actions using the chaotic sequences, and convert them into PLC instructions to generate a device operation instruction set, including:
[0100] Based on the analysis of chaotic sequence characteristics, an initial value was set, and iterative calculations were performed using the Sine chaotic mapping formula until the maximum number of calculations was reached (based on the actual application scenario). All calculation results were then concatenated into a chaotic sequence, with the formula as follows:
[0101]
[0102] Where, q c is the initial value for the iteration of the chaotic mapping formula, c is the iteration index, b is the control parameter (set according to the maximum chaos requirement), and π is the value of pi.
[0103] Based on the variance of the global thermal field map (calculated using the unbiased sample variance formula) and the fluctuation range of cooling load demand (the difference between the maximum and minimum values), the number of sub-regions is determined using the following formula:
[0104] N = τ·e + γ·ΔL,
[0105] Where N is the number of sub-regions, e is the variance of the global thermal field map, ΔL is the fluctuation range of cooling load demand, and τ and γ are the weighting coefficients of the variance of the global thermal field map and the fluctuation range of cooling load demand, respectively (based on the initial setting of uniform distribution).
[0106] Based on chaotic sequences, the center point coordinates of N sub-regions are generated through polynomial interpolation;
[0107] The formula for extracting the local thermal field features of N sub-regions is as follows:
[0108]
[0109] Where F represents the local thermal field characteristics, This represents the average temperature of the sub-region (obtained by summing and averaging the temperatures of the sub-regions). The temperature gradient is calculated by convolving the temperature field in the global thermal field map of the sub-region using the Sobel operator, and A is the cooling load demand.
[0110] The local thermal field features are perturbed using Sine chaotic mapping, and the perturbed local thermal field features are concatenated into a state vector. The entropy value of each state vector is calculated using the entropy calculation method.
[0111] The local variance of each state vector is calculated using the biased sample variance method to generate a dynamic exploration boundary. These boundaries are then concatenated to form a dynamic exploration boundary set, as shown in the formula:
[0112]
[0113] Where B represents the dynamic exploration boundary. Let t be the mean of the state vector. y,r y is the critical value of the distribution (obtained based on the t-distribution table), y is the degree of freedom (based on the t-distribution variation strategy, combined with the entropy value of each state vector, and set by the Sigmoid function), r is the confidence level (obtained based on historical operating condition analysis), and θ is the standard deviation of the state vector (calculated based on the square root method).
[0114] The exploration boundary set is grouped using k-means clustering. The entropy values of each state vector after grouping are sorted in descending order. The j regions with the highest entropy values in the grouping results (based on the cumulative contribution rate of entropy values) are selected and set as the initial priority exploration regions.
[0115] Calculate the coverage of the initial priority exploration area (the ratio of the exploration boundary set to the initial priority exploration area), set a coverage threshold based on historical working data, filter areas with coverage greater than the coverage threshold, and output the priority exploration area and state vector.
[0116] Construct the MPC model, including the input layer, design layer, and output layer;
[0117] The MPC model was trained using a simulation dataset obtained through the COMSOL simulation platform.
[0118] Based on the priority exploration of the region and state vector, the MPC model is used to output the equipment parameters for predicting future times, including chiller load, cooling tower fan speed, water pump frequency and valve opening.
[0119] Based on the average entropy value of the priority exploration region, the optimization objective function is defined as follows:
[0120]
[0121] Where J is the value of the objective function. Here, E is the sum of the power consumption of all devices, where E is the weighting factor. max The maximum sum of power consumption of all devices is given by PMV, where ΔT” and ΔP are the temperature deviation and pressure deviation (the difference between predicted and actual temperatures and the difference between optimized and actual pressure fields, respectively). sc To predict PMV values (based on PMV model predictions), H avg The average entropy value of the priority region;
[0122] The prediction results of the MPC model are optimized by minimizing the objective function, and the perturbation is applied by the Sine chaotic mapping to integrate the perturbation results into a short-term control sequence.
[0123] Construct a DQN model, including an input layer, hidden layers, and an output layer;
[0124] Simulation data was obtained using Gazebo to train the DQN model;
[0125] Define the reward function, with the following formula:
[0126]
[0127] Where R is the function reward value, and o is the coverage of the priority exploration area;
[0128] By maximizing the reward function to maximize the Q value, the global thermal map and state vector are input into the DQN model, and the action with the best device parameters is output.
[0129] Use chaotic sequences to perturb the actions of the optimal device parameters;
[0130] The disturbed actions and short-term control sequences are converted into PLC instructions to generate a set of equipment operation instructions.
[0131] By perturbing the device parameters and thermal field characteristics using Sine chaotic mapping, the local optimum trap in reinforcement learning is effectively avoided, helping the system escape overfitting regions and improving exploration efficiency and control accuracy. Local thermal field features extracted at the sub-region scale, combined with temperature gradients and load changes, make system regulation more targeted, responding to local abnormal states and improving the system's adaptability to environmental dynamics. Entropy combined with local variance is used to construct dynamic exploration boundaries, considering not only state complexity but also quantifying the range of uncertainty changes, enabling dynamic adjustment of the control strategy's tolerance to environmental disturbances and improving the system's robustness. Through entropy-based clustering and coverage screening strategies, resource allocation and device adjustment are performed not only in high-value areas, avoiding redundant control across the entire space, but the optimized objective function integrates device power consumption, temperature and pressure deviations, PMV human comfort index, and information entropy indicators, reflecting the joint optimization idea of multiple objectives and constraints. This not only improves energy utilization efficiency but also takes into account operational stability and terminal comfort.

' h η is the cold water flow rate. h The efficiency is denoted as ΔT (based on actual equipment testing), m is the mass flow rate (based on the product of cold water flow rate and water density), and ΔT is the mass flow rate. 1 For the supply and return water temperature difference, c p Where is the specific heat capacity of water, and h is the index of the equipment;
[0137] The center frequency of each IMF component is extracted by FFT. Based on the time scale mapping method, low frequency threshold and high frequency threshold are set respectively. The task group with center frequency greater than high frequency threshold is selected to generate high frequency mode, and the task group with center frequency less than low frequency threshold is selected to generate low frequency mode.
[0138] High-frequency modal tasks are assigned to supercapacitors, and low-frequency modal tasks are assigned to batteries to generate an energy storage task allocation scheme. This scheme is then converted into PLC instructions to generate an energy storage allocation instruction set.
[0139] By using the difference between the target power and the cooling load as a non-stationary signal input to the VMD framework, multi-scale fluctuation information of the system load can be effectively extracted. The center frequency of each mode is obtained through FFT, and the frequency threshold is set using a time-scale mapping method. This enables the system to distinguish between high-frequency and low-frequency tasks based on the speed of mode change, realizing frequency domain feature-driven task allocation. The frequency-based task allocation strategy not only improves the utilization efficiency of the energy storage unit, but also extends the service life of the equipment and optimizes the energy flow path.

[0141] Specifically, execute the instruction set and set up an alarm mechanism, including:
[0142] The PLC controller executes equipment operation and energy storage distribution instruction sets, collects multimodal data after execution, and sets alarm thresholds (based on historical equipment operating status). If the executed multimodal data deviates from the alarm threshold... When Y is the fluctuation range, set based on statistical analysis, a low-level alarm is triggered, notifying staff to conduct an inspection;
[0143] If the multimodal data after execution deviates from the alarm threshold Y, a medium-level alarm will be triggered, notifying staff to make adjustments and perform maintenance.
[0144] If the multimodal data after execution deviates from the alarm threshold of 2Y, an advanced alarm will be triggered, and the system will be shut down immediately.
[0145] By executing operation and energy storage distribution instructions through PLC, not only is standardized control of processes such as refrigeration and energy supply achieved, but data and behavior linkage between different modules is also effectively integrated. This supports rapid response to environmental disturbances and predictive maintenance. Statistical analysis methods are used to set floating thresholds, significantly enhancing the system's adaptability and early warning capabilities. Alarm sensitivity is dynamically adjusted to reduce false alarms and missed alarms, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of alarms. By classifying alarms into three levels, the system's fault tolerance is improved, and the allocation of operation and maintenance resources is optimized.
[0146] Furthermore, the storage, collection, and analysis of the resulting multimodal data includes:
[0147] The collected multimodal data, along with the analysis-generated predictions, equipment operation instruction sets, and energy storage allocation instruction sets, are used to generate a complete assessment report through data visualization, which is then stored in a central database.
[0148] By generating data visualization and evaluation reports, multi-dimensional information is presented to users, helping them quickly understand the system's operating status and optimization results. This provides data-driven decision support for management, helping to improve the scientific nature and accuracy of management. By storing data in a central database, it provides data support for global optimization and improves the efficiency of collaborative work.
