[0002] In my country, building energy consumption is increasing year by year. Central air conditioning systems account for a significant portion of total building energy consumption, ranging from 35% to 55%. Of this, refrigeration room equipment (including chillers, refrigeration and cooling water pumps, and cooling towers) accounts for approximately 60% to 70% of central air conditioning system energy consumption.

However, these studies often lack systematic integration, making it difficult to form a comprehensive and efficient computer room energy-saving control solution. At the same time, model optimization and non-model optimization methods in intelligent energy-saving control technologies for refrigeration rooms also have their own characteristics.

Closed-loop control is performed based on the Internet of Things collection and issuance platform, providing improvement measures and decision-making basis for equipment analysis and energy-saving optimization control of cold source systems in multiple application scenarios.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] This embodiment proposes a high-efficiency global optimization energy-saving control algorithm for computer rooms based on the principle of energy conservation. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the following specific steps are included:

[0041] S1. Construct a cold source system mechanism model based on the principle of energy flow conservation, wherein the cold source system mechanism model includes but is not limited to a chiller energy efficiency model, a water pump head and efficiency model, and a cooling tower heat dissipation model;

[0042] S2. Build a machine learning model for equipment whose inputs are key variables affecting the efficiency of individual equipment and whose outputs are the calculated energy efficiency of the chiller, the head and efficiency of the water pump, and the temperature below the cooling tower. Use an ensemble learning method combining random forest, gradient boosting, and LightGBM models to generate the optimal regression model through voting integration.

[0043] S3. Input current operating parameters, including real-time load and outdoor meteorological parameters, traverse all possible equipment combinations and parameter combinations, call the cooling system mechanism model and equipment machine learning model, and perform global optimization of equipment combinations with minimizing total system energy consumption as the objective function;

[0044] S4. Generate optimal control parameters based on the optimization results, including the operating parameter combination of the chiller, chilled water pump, cooling water pump and cooling tower, and issue them for execution through the Internet of Things platform.

[0045] In this embodiment, the energy efficiency model of the chiller in S1 is based on the chiller operating load rate PLR, the evaporator outlet water temperature T chilled,supply , Cooling water return temperature T cooling,return , cooling water flow L cooling , establish the cooling machine energy efficiency COP chiller The mathematical relationship is:

[0046] COP chiller =F(PLR,T chilled,supply ,T cooling,return ,L cooling )(1)

[0058]

[0059] Where ρ is the density of water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and η is the efficiency of the water pump.

[0060] In this example, key historical operational data from a refrigeration plant is collected. Abnormal data identification and processing algorithms are used to improve the quality of the data, preventing issues such as poor model generalization and low accuracy caused by data quality issues during subsequent modeling. Subsequently, a subset of characteristic variables influencing chiller efficiency, water pump characteristics, and cooling tower heat dissipation capacity are analyzed and selected to construct a machine learning model for the equipment. The model inputs are the key variables that influence the efficiency of individual equipment, and the model outputs are the calculated energy efficiency of the chiller, the head and efficiency of the water pump, and the lower tower temperature of the cooling tower.

[0061] A comparison of common machine learning methods revealed that models built using some methods achieved good training results and high fitting accuracy on the test set, but were prone to overfitting and exhibited large deviations in prediction results for areas not included in the dataset, resulting in poor generalization. Therefore, by introducing the Voting Regressor and a custom loss function, combined with conventional machine learning models, the approach integrates multiple machine learning models and adds a penalty for regression mechanism rationality to the original loss function. This prevents the tendency to abandon the original mechanism principle in pursuit of lower error during training. By integrating the regression results of multiple models, the stability and robustness of the model can be improved. Even if a model performs poorly in certain situations, other models can intervene to compensate for the shortfall and improve overall regression performance.

[0062] Ensemble learning is a method that improves prediction performance by combining multiple models (base learners). Voting is a form of ensemble learning that aggregates the predictions of different models to generate a final prediction. The following describes the basic principles and steps for training three models: Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Machine (XGBoost), and LightGBM, and then using Voting to ensemble them into the optimal model. The specific model training steps are as follows:

[0063] (1) Model selection and training

[0064] Random Forest (RF): is an ensemble of multiple decision trees, each trained independently on a random subset of the data. Random Forest can reduce overfitting and provide higher accuracy and stability.

[0065] Gradient Boosting Machine (XGBoost): is a boosting method that iteratively adds new models to correct errors in existing models. XGBoost is known for its efficient computational power and excellent generalization ability.

[0066] LightGBM: It is a gradient boosting framework developed by Microsoft. It uses a histogram algorithm and a leaf growing strategy, making it more efficient and faster when processing large-scale data.

[0067] (2) Training process: For each selected model: Prepare training data. Adjust hyperparameters based on the characteristics of each model. Train each of the three models using the training data. Verify and optimize model performance, for example, through cross-validation.

[0068] (3) Voting Integration

[0069] There are two main types of voting integration: hard voting and soft voting.

[0070] Hard Voting: For classification problems, each model predicts the class of the sample and takes the class with the highest number of occurrences as the final prediction. For regression problems, the median or mode of all model predictions is usually taken.

[0071] Soft Voting: For classification problems, each model gives a probability distribution of the class, and the class with the highest probability is taken as the final prediction. For regression problems, the average of all model predictions can be taken.

[0072] (4) Determination of training objective function

[0073] In machine learning, choosing an appropriate objective function (also known as a loss function or cost function) is crucial for model training and directly impacts the model's training results and ultimate performance. The objective function defines a measure of the difference between the model's predicted value and the true value. The model training process is the process of minimizing this difference. Different tasks and algorithms use different types of objective functions. In regression tasks, mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and coefficient of determination (R²) are commonly used. In this regression model, mean absolute error is used as the primary loss function, with other weighted indicators serving as supplementary factors. To ensure that the regression results do not deviate from the actual mechanism, a penalty function is set to prevent any deviation between the trained model's calculations and the actual mechanism.

[0074] (5) Selection of the optimal model

[0075] During the integration process, the performance of the integrated model can be evaluated using the validation set, using metrics such as accuracy, F1 score, and mean squared error. If soft voting is used, the probability weights of the predictions from different models can also be considered, assigning different weights to different models to further optimize the performance of the integrated model.

[0076] In this embodiment, the ensemble learning method in S2 adopts a soft voting mechanism, combined with random forest, gradient boosting machine and LightGBM models, optimizes the hyperparameters of each model through cross-validation, and performs weighted averaging on the prediction results. The mechanism principle constraint is introduced through a custom loss function, with the mean absolute error as the main loss function, and the other indicators are weighted as auxiliary.

[0077] Based on the equipment model, a complete calculation mechanism framework for the entire refrigeration room system needs to be established. After inputting the current real-time load and outdoor weather parameters, the framework calls upon various calculation sub-models through the full system mechanism. Through iterative optimization of parameters, it finds all possible equipment and parameter combinations that can meet the load under the same operating conditions. Depending on the complexity of the system, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of combinations are traversed to ultimately arrive at the optimal solution.

[0078] In this embodiment, assuming that the system has a refrigeration unit, b chilled water pumps, c cooling water pumps, and d cooling towers operating in conjunction, the energy-saving control calculation process for the entire refrigeration room is described as follows:

[0079]

[0080] T wb ,dT cooling ,…f tower,fan ;

[0081] L chilled,pump ,H chilled,pump …η chilled,pump ;

[0082] L cooling,pump ,H cooling,pump …η cooling,pump )

[0083] Safety principles must also be considered when performing global optimization calculations. The constraints are as follows: Minimum and maximum inlet temperatures of the chiller cooling water: T tower,out,min ≤T tower,out ≤T tower,out,max ; Meet the minimum load rate of the cooling machine to prevent cooling machine surge: PLR≤PLR min ;Meet the minimum flow rate of evaporator and condenser: L chilled,min <L chilled <L chilled,max ;L cooling,min <L cooling <L cooling,max .

[0084] In this embodiment, the global optimization of equipment combination in S3 includes: the number of operating chillers and load distribution; the start-stop combination and flow regulation of the chilled water pump and the cooling water pump; the number of operating cooling towers and the fan speed matching.

[0085] Global optimization of efficient computer room based on the principle of energy conservation: Figure 1 As shown in FIG, by inputting the actual indoor load and outdoor meteorological parameters, the global optimization main loop can be entered according to the input conditions.

[0086] The optimization calculation results include two parts: one is the optimization of the startup combination of the chiller, water pump and cooling tower, and the other is the optimization of the parameters of the cooling water temperature difference and approximation. The outer layer of the main loop is the cooling water temperature difference (the supply and return temperature difference of the cooling water in the main pipe) and the approximation of the cooling tower (the difference between the tower temperature below the cooling tower and the outdoor wet-bulb temperature). The two are used as optimization parameters. Before the calculation, the calculation range of the parameters is first determined. Within the range, the parameter values ​​that need to be traversed and calculated are determined by fixing the calculation step length. The initial value, final value and optimization step length of the optimization are obtained by discretizing the two, and the parameter set N for traversal optimization is generated. Taking the cooling water temperature difference as an example, the method for determining the initial and final values ​​is to design the cooling water temperature difference as ±a℃, with a step length of b℃. The values ​​of a and b are determined by trial parameter setting, ensuring the calculation efficiency while ensuring the calculation results. The values ​​of a and b are finally determined through test experiments. Then, according to the input load, the chillers that can currently meet the demand are arranged and combined, and the available chiller combination A is generated according to different combinations. In order to achieve the chilled and cooling water circulating water flow required for the operation of the chiller, the corresponding available chilled water pump combination B and cooling water pump combination C under different combinations of chiller A can be obtained.

[0087] Finally, the currently available cooling tower combination D is obtained according to the cooling water flow rate under each combination, completing the preparation before the optimization process.

[0088] The equipment models (chiller energy efficiency model, water pump head / efficiency model, cooling tower heat dissipation model) collect current data and fill it into the historical database required for their respective regressions. The models are trained offline in stages based on the newly added operating data to achieve the timeliness and multi-scenario applicability of the models.

[0089] After completing the optimization sequence of parameter + equipment combination in the above steps, the total system power corresponding to each parameter and equipment combination under the current corresponding working conditions is calculated by calling the main loop, such as Figure 2 The current optimal solution is shown and recorded.

[0090] If the power of the next calculation is less than the previous calculation result, the current calculation will replace the previous one. The calculation will be repeated iteratively until all possible parameter + equipment combinations under the current working conditions are traversed. Finally, the optimal solution in the historical calculation results and the corresponding parameter settings (cooling water temperature difference and cooling tower approximation) and equipment combination (chiller, chilled water pump, cooling water pump, cooling tower) are obtained.

[0091] In this embodiment, the device machine learning model collects current data and fills it into the historical database required for each regression, and periodically trains the model offline based on the newly added operating data.

[0092] In this embodiment, the safety first principle is to ensure that the terminal cooling demand is the highest priority, and dynamically adjust the control parameters through real-time monitoring and feedback mechanism.
