[0025] wherein, τ is the prediction time step, and P req (t) is the end pressure prediction value at the current time.
[0026] S4: For each air compressor, the optimal continuous pressure interval with the minimum specific power is selected by combining the mother pipe pressure data, the own energy efficiency curve and the pressure points of the pressure demand curve, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0027] S4.1: Determine the pressure search range; combine the mother pipe pressure P main (t) and the end pressure data, set the upper limit P max and the lower limit P min of the air compressor operating pressure, which are expressed as:

[0032] S5: In order to avoid "air grabbing" or "idling" caused by the pressure overlap of multiple air compressors, the optimal continuous pressure interval of each air compressor is combined, and the controller of each air compressor is distributed through a multi-objective optimization algorithm to make the target pressure of the system total energy consumption minimum. The objective function and constraint condition of the multi-objective optimization algorithm are as follows:

[0042] If the deviation exceeds the threshold, adjust the air compressor frequency f j through the PID controller to realize closed-loop control:
[0043] ;
[0044] wherein K p , K i , K d are PID controller parameters.
[0045] In the embodiment, the application accurately characterizes the dynamic range of gas demand by counting the minimum value, maximum value, average value and mode of the end pressure, avoids the pressure setting deviation caused by a single average value, sets an air compressor energy efficiency curve library to select the optimal continuous pressure interval instead of a single point, takes into account the operation stability and energy efficiency advantage, finally allocates the target pressure of each air compressor through a multi-objective optimization algorithm to avoid energy waste caused by pressure overlap, realizes the global energy efficiency optimization, and solves the problems of energy waste caused by frequent loading and unloading of air compressors in the existing air compression station, the end gas pressure demand lower than the air compressor set value, and the pressure set value redundancy too high when multiple air compressors are operated in parallel.
