Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy consumption simulation and optimization control of large-scale central air-conditioning room systems in public buildings, in particular to a real-time simulation and optimization method for energy efficiency of central air-conditioning room systems. Background Art
[0002] Central air conditioning rooms account for 40% of energy consumption in public buildings. Most control systems in these rooms lack systematic optimization capabilities, and each device operates under independent closed-loop control. Real-time, full-operation-condition simulation optimization is an effective approach to achieving systematic optimization of computer rooms. Accurate energy consumption models for each device under all operating conditions are fundamental to achieving system simulation and reducing overall errors. Reasonable correlations between these models are also prerequisites for feasible system optimization. These shortcomings are also addressed by existing technologies.
[0003] CN116697530A discloses a high-efficiency adaptive energy-saving control system and method for a computer room based on working condition prediction. Although it provides a method of analyzing and predicting the working conditions of the terminal, various equipment in the computer room, air conditioners and cooling pipes, and decomposing this demand to each device to optimize system control, so as to reduce energy consumption and improve system efficiency, it lacks a model for quantitatively solving its needs and a specific linkage idea between the needs of each device, and cannot implement precise optimization and global optimization and achieve efficient and low-consumption operation throughout the year.
[0004] CN114165854A discloses an intelligent optimization control method based on a dynamic simulation platform for a central air-conditioning system. It provides quantitative solution models for various types of equipment, builds an energy consumption simulation system by connecting the models in series, and optimizes an efficient control strategy using a coded genetic algorithm. However, each model has key factor defects or indirect correlations, resulting in a large overall prediction error. Furthermore, the impact of outdoor weather on system energy efficiency is not considered and integrated into the simulation system, making it impossible to achieve accurate and stable optimization control and ultimately efficient operation throughout the year.
[0005] CN119538570A discloses a data-driven method and device for simulating the energy consumption of an air-conditioning system. The method determines whether the system energy consumption is abnormal by establishing an energy consumption prediction model and collecting real-time data for prediction. The method can realize a prediction scheme for system energy consumption based on the control state of the equipment. However, this scheme cannot predict the mutual influence of each prediction model under changes in the control state, and therefore lacks the feasibility of simulation optimization.

[0105] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0106] (1) Through real-time data collection and analysis, non-abnormal data is obtained as background data, which can be brought into the energy consumption model of each device for fitting to obtain fitting coefficients. On the one hand, the real-time data can reflect the current operating status and environmental conditions of the equipment. The fitting coefficients can dynamically correct the model deviation and avoid long-term prediction inaccuracies caused by equipment aging or working condition deviation; on the other hand, it can ensure the purity of the training set of the input model and reduce the pollution of noise on the fitting results;
[0107] (2) By establishing energy consumption models for chillers, air conditioning water pumps, cooling water pumps, and cooling towers, as well as associated models for various operating conditions, precise and global optimization can be achieved, ensuring efficient and low-consumption operation throughout the year. Furthermore, the impact of outdoor weather on system energy efficiency is integrated into the simulation system, enabling precise and stable optimization control and ultimately efficient operation throughout the year.
[0108] (3) In the energy consumption model of the chiller, by taking the pressure difference between the condenser and the evaporator as a more direct factor affecting the energy consumption of the compressor, the model is more accurate than the existing method of taking the air conditioning and cooling water temperature as indirect factors, and is more conducive to serving as a basis for judging the performance changes of the unit equipment;
[0109] (4) By adding the resistance factor along the way to the models of air-conditioning water pumps and cooling water pumps, the long-term accuracy is greatly improved compared to directly solving the water flow rate by the water pump frequency, speed or power. In addition, by removing the terminal influencing factors in the flow model, the abnormal performance of the water pump can be accurately judged. It can not only be used for fault diagnosis but also for judging performance degradation. It can also serve as a basis for cooling tower cleaning and water pump equipment maintenance.
[0110] (5) The energy efficiency simulation system established by the present invention not only has higher accuracy compared with historical data, but also, through the correlation of energy consumption between devices possessed by this simulation model architecture, it can enable subsequent actual simulation optimization and implementation control to still have the advantage of low error between simulation optimization results and implementation results under the new control strategy group;
[0111] (6) The present invention improves the system operation efficiency through the entire process, and ultimately achieves a reduction in energy consumption of public buildings throughout the year; it solves the problem that the models of various devices in the existing simulation system are inaccurate, which leads to large errors in the overall energy efficiency prediction; and solves the problem that the simulation architecture lacks internal correlation and each device independently optimizes, resulting in the optimization strategy losing sight of one thing while focusing on another, and further failing to achieve efficient operation of the system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0112] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0113] In this embodiment, the central air-conditioning room system process equipment mainly includes: a chiller, a cooling tower, an air-conditioning water circulation pump (hereinafter referred to as the air-conditioning water pump), a cooling water circulation pump (hereinafter referred to as the cooling water pump), and a cooling water replenishment device; the chiller includes a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser; the evaporator has low-pressure refrigerant inside and medium-temperature air-conditioning water outside; the condenser has high-pressure refrigerant inside and medium-temperature cooling water outside;
[0114] The process flow of the central air-conditioning room system described in this embodiment is divided into three thermal cycles:
[0115] 1. Air conditioning water circulation: The fan coil unit with automatic air volume control in the building transfers the heat of the indoor air to the air conditioning water and increases the temperature of the air conditioning water. Driven by the air conditioning water pump, the heated air conditioning water is sent back to the outside of the evaporator of the chiller in the computer room through the air conditioning return pipe, transferring the heat to the low-pressure refrigerant to cool the air conditioning water. After leaving the evaporator, it returns to the fan coil unit through the air conditioning water supply pipe to realize the air conditioning water circulation.
[0116] 2. Refrigerant circulation: The low-pressure refrigerant obtains heat from the air-conditioning water in the evaporator, and after being pressurized by the compressor, it becomes a high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant and is sent to the condenser. After transferring heat to the medium-temperature cooling water outside the condenser, it passes through the expansion valve and becomes a low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant again, completing the refrigerant circulation.
[0117] 3. Cooling water circulation: The cooling water that obtains heat in the evaporator enters the cooling tower under the push of the cooling water pump. The heat of the cooling water is taken away by surface evaporation in the cooling tower, and it becomes low-temperature cooling water. Under the action of the cooling water pump, it enters the unit again to complete the cooling water circulation. During this period, a cooling water make-up pipe will be set on the pipeline to replenish the cooling water.
[0118] The overall solution described in this embodiment is based on the above process equipment and process, and specifically includes the following steps:
[0119] S1: Real-time data collection and analysis records:
[0120] After the sensors are deployed, a stable and reliable communication link is established between the sensors and the host computer through the corresponding communication module. The host computer uses specially developed data acquisition software to perform real-time analysis and verification of the received data, and writes the verified data without abnormalities into the corresponding structure table of the relational database installed on the host computer. The application features of collection, analysis and recording are as follows:
[0121] S1.1: Data verification features:
[0122] Preset classification limits for each received data type and its combination. For example, the amplitude limit for the air conditioning water supply temperature sensor data is set to 3-30. If it exceeds this range, the data is considered abnormal. Other sensor data types are also configured with corresponding abnormality judgments.
[0123] S1.2: Database table structure characteristics of the host computer:
[0124] Set the table structure to use timestamp as the primary key and index key, set the index type to UNIQUE, and use various sensor data fields. Insert data row by row into the corresponding time series data table in the relational database on the host computer at the same interval through a timer to achieve orderly storage of data, so that subsequent data query, data cleaning and other operations based on time series can be performed.
[0125] S1.3: Data application-oriented features:
[0126] Select historical non-abnormal data as the background data for fitting the mathematical relationship model between variables. Select real-time data as the input source of the simulation system. If there is any missing or abnormal data at this time, the real-time optimization will be suspended.
[0127] S2: Establish relevant models for each device system
[0128] The background data obtained by S1 is applied to the energy consumption model of each device. The energy consumption models of the chiller, air conditioning water pump, cooling water pump, cooling tower, and various related models are fitted separately, and finally combined into a real-time energy efficiency model of the central air-conditioning room system.
[0129] S2.1: Chiller-related models
[0130] The energy consumption from the chiller is the main source of energy consumption for the entire system. The main energy consumption is used to drive the power consumption of the refrigerant compressor. The compressor sucks low-pressure refrigerant from the evaporator, pressurizes it into high-pressure refrigerant and sends it to the condenser. The suction amount is affected by the total heat brought into the evaporator by the air-conditioning water returning from the terminal. All compressors share the same evaporator and condenser, so the refrigerant pressure difference is the same. Therefore, the energy consumption of the chiller is related to the average pressure difference between the high and low pressure refrigerants and the heat from the air-conditioning water. The energy consumption of the chiller can be obtained as W WaterChiller function.
[0131] W WaterChiller =f(Q KT , P Δ ) (1)
[0132] In the above formula: W WaterChiller is the total power of all compressors in the chiller, that is, the total energy consumption of the chiller; Q KT is the total heat brought into the evaporator by the air-conditioning water, P Δ It is the pressure difference between the refrigerant suction and discharge from the compressor.
[0133] The total heat brought by the air-conditioning water into the evaporator is equal to the heat exchange of the air-conditioning water. The pressure difference between the refrigerant sucked in and discharged by the compressor is equal to the difference between the condenser pressure and the evaporator pressure. Then:
[0134] Q KT =C Water ·(T KTin -T KTout )F KTpump (2)
[0135] P Δ =R LNQ -P ZFQ (3)
[0136] In the above formula, C Water is the specific heat capacity of water; T KTin T is the temperature of the air conditioning pipe section outside the unit before the air conditioning water enters the evaporator, referred to as the air conditioning water inlet temperature; KTout The temperature of the air-conditioning pipe section outside the unit after the air-conditioning water leaves the evaporator, referred to as the air-conditioning water outlet temperature; F KTpump is the total circulation volume of air-conditioning water, hereinafter referred to as air-conditioning water flow; P LNQ is the absolute pressure of the high-pressure refrigerant in the condenser; P ZFQ It is the absolute pressure of the low-pressure refrigerant in the evaporator.
[0137] The final chiller energy consumption model expression is as follows:
[0138] W WaterChille =A1·Q KT +A2·Q KT2 +A3·Q KT ·P Δ +A4·Q KT +A5·Q KT 2 +A6 (4)
[0139] In the above formula, A1~A6 are fitting coefficients. Based on the background data of multiple non-abnormal data recorded in S1 at the same time, the six fitting coefficients of A1~A6 can be obtained by fitting in formula (4). Then, the total heat Q brought into the evaporator by the air-conditioning water of the required air conditioner in the simulation environment is substituted into formula (4). KT , the pressure difference P between the compressor suction and discharge refrigerant Δ , the chiller's energy consumption prediction results can be obtained. The above formula uses the pressure difference between the condenser and evaporator as a more direct factor affecting compressor energy consumption. Compared with the existing method that uses air conditioning and cooling water temperature as indirect factors, the model is more accurate and more useful as a basis for judging changes in unit equipment performance.
