Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power systems, and in particular to an AI evaluation method for online load regulation capability of a refrigeration plant. Background Art
[0002] Evaluating the online load regulation capabilities of refrigeration plants helps provide real-time insights into their adjustable power range under different operating conditions, enhancing their ability to participate as a flexible resource on the load side in grid peak regulation and demand response. Dynamic evaluation can optimize load control strategies, reduce operating costs, enhance system stability, and provide strong support for building a power system with a high proportion of renewable energy.
[0003] However, the existing methods for evaluating the online regulation capacity of refrigeration plants have the following major deficiencies: 1) Lack of equipment-level modeling: Most methods treat the refrigeration plant as an overall load unit, without breaking it down into key equipment such as compressors, condenser fans, and evaporator fans, making it difficult to accurately evaluate the regulation potential of each subsystem. 2) Ignoring differences in operating characteristics: Different equipment has different response characteristics to external factors such as temperature, humidity, and operating frequency, and most existing methods do not distinguish between them, resulting in deviations in the estimation of regulation capacity. 3) Insufficient modeling capabilities: Traditional empirical models and linear methods cannot capture the complex nonlinear relationship between the operating status of the equipment and external disturbances, and the prediction accuracy is limited. 4) Weak timeliness and generalization capabilities: Most methods find it difficult to achieve adaptive identification and generalization of regulation capabilities at different time scales and under multiple operating conditions, affecting the effectiveness of scheduling applications.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to combine advanced AI algorithms to establish an equipment-level evaluation model, conduct AI evaluation of online adjustment capabilities, accurately characterize the adjustable capabilities of key electrical equipment in refrigeration plants under different working conditions, and improve the dynamics and accuracy of adjustment capability evaluation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is: to provide an AI evaluation method for the online load regulation capability of a refrigeration plant, combine the LSTM, XGBoost and LightGBM algorithms, establish an equipment-level evaluation model for refrigeration compressors, condenser fans, and evaporator fans, and integrate and construct an overall AI evaluation framework for the refrigeration plant, so as to improve the dynamics and accuracy of the regulation capability evaluation and provide intelligent decision-making support for its participation in grid peak regulation and demand response.

[0011] Preferably, in step 1, a LSTM-based prediction model for the maximum allowable increase in compressor power change is constructed, including the following sub-steps:
[0012] Step 101, feature collection within the time window: collecting compressor operating features for k consecutive time steps, including compressor power, head temperature, refrigerant inlet pressure and outlet pressure, to form an original feature matrix;

[0020] Preferably, in step 2, a condenser fan upward regulation characteristic index prediction model based on XGBoost is constructed, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0021] Step 201, raw data collection: collecting the load rate and power data points of the condenser fan over a period of time as the raw data set D;
[0022] Step 202, feature transformation: perform logarithmic transformation on the original data set D, linearize the power function relationship, and obtain the logarithmic transformed data set D;
[0023] Step 203: Organize the training features and label sets: organize the logarithmically transformed dataset D into feature vectors X and label vectors Y respectively;

[0026] Preferably, in step 2, the online adjustment capability of the condenser fan is evaluated. The power of the condenser fan is approximately in a square relationship with the wind speed. The upward adjustment capability increases nonlinearly with the remaining wind speed space, and the downward adjustment capability increases linearly with the remaining wind speed space, which can be expressed as:
[0027]
[0028] Where: C up,cond (d,t),C down,cond (d, t) is the upward and downward adjustment capabilities of the condenser fan, η cond (d,t) is the original load rate of the condenser fan, P cond,rated is the rated power of the condenser fan, and γ is the fan sharing function adjustment index.

[0034] Step 305: Predict the evaporator fan rapid increase coefficient: Under the new operating state, input the normalized characteristics and predict the evaporator fan rapid increase coefficient θ evap (d,t).
[0035] Preferably, in step 3, the online adjustment capacity evaluation model of the evaporator fan in the cold storage of the freezing plant based on LightGBM is used to adjust the load through the start-stop group control, and the upward and downward adjustment capacity of the evaporator fan is evaluated:

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0049] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the AI evaluation method for online load regulation capability of a refrigeration plant according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the application are further elaborated in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments involved in the present invention. All non-innovative embodiments of other researchers in this field on this embodiment fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. At the same time, the step numbers in the embodiments of the present invention are only set for the convenience of explanation and description, and the order between the steps is not limited in any way. The execution order of each step in the embodiment can be adaptively adjusted according to the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, an AI evaluation method for the online load regulation capability of a freezing plant mainly includes: an online regulation capability evaluation model of the refrigeration compressor unit of the freezing plant based on LSTM, an online regulation capability evaluation model of the condenser fan of the freezing plant based on XGBoost, an online regulation capability evaluation model of the evaporator fan of the cold storage of the freezing plant based on LightGBM, and an AI evaluation model for the online regulation capability of the freezing plant.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the AI evaluation method for online load regulation capability of a refrigeration plant in this embodiment has the following specific steps:
[0053] Step 1: Build an LSTM-based online regulation capability evaluation model for refrigeration compressor units in refrigeration plants.
[0054] In this embodiment, the LSTM-based prediction model for the maximum allowable increase in compressor power change is used to predict the maximum power change that the compressor can quickly and safely increase under the current operating state. The solution process is as follows:
[0055] First, the compressor operation characteristics of k consecutive time steps are collected, including compressor power, head temperature, refrigerant inlet pressure and outlet pressure, to form the original feature sequence.
[0056] Each feature is then normalized to eliminate the effects of dimensional differences. The normalized feature sequence is fed into the LSTM network as input, where it extracts the dynamic evolution of the system's operation through time-step recursion. The hidden state vector at the final moment of the LSTM serves as a compressed representation of the overall time series features and is further mapped into an intermediate feature vector through a fully connected layer.
[0057] Then, the intermediate feature vector is mapped through another fully connected map to output the maximum allowable rapid increase in power change of the compressor at the current moment.
[0058] Finally, an online adjustment capability evaluation model for the refrigeration compressor unit is developed. The maximum allowable increase in power change of the refrigeration compressor unit given by LSTM is used to construct a model to evaluate the online adjustment capability of the refrigeration compressor unit in the freezing plant.
[0059] The method of this embodiment can capture the dynamic pattern of load, temperature, and pressure changes of the compressor in a short period of time, and provide continuous and real-time prediction of safe increase capacity.
[0060] Step 2: Propose an online regulation capability evaluation model for condenser fans in refrigeration plants based on XGBoost.
[0061] In this embodiment, the condenser fan upward characteristic index prediction model based on XGBoost is used to predict the upward characteristic index of the relationship between the condenser fan load rate and power. The solution process is as follows:
[0062] First, the original data points of the load rate and corresponding power of the condenser fan under different operating conditions are collected. In order to linearize the power function relationship between the fan power and the load rate, the logarithms of the load rate and power are taken respectively to obtain the linearized characteristic input and output.
[0063] Next, all logarithmized samples are organized into feature sets and label sets. An XGBoost regression model is then trained to learn the nonlinear mapping between features and labels. After training, the wind turbine's ramp-up characteristic index for the current operating point is obtained by taking the local derivative of the regression model in the input space and extracting the slope in logarithmic space.
[0064] Finally, the online regulation capability of the condenser fan is evaluated. Based on the condenser fan upward regulation characteristic index given by XGBoost, a model is constructed to evaluate the online regulation capability of the condenser fan.
[0065] The method of this embodiment can accurately capture the nonlinear response law of wind turbine load changes to power changes, and supports flexible and accurate rapid adjustment capability modeling.
[0066] Step 3: Propose an online adjustment capability evaluation model for the evaporator fan of the cold storage in the freezing plant based on LightGBM.
[0067] In this embodiment, the evaporator fan rapid increase coefficient prediction model based on LightGBM is used to predict the rapid increase coefficient of the evaporator fan under specific operating conditions. The solution process is as follows:
[0068] First, the real-time operating characteristics of the evaporator fan are collected, including the initial load rate, the rate of change of the cold storage temperature and the rate of change of the humidity after the increase, to form a single-step feature vector. To ensure numerical stability and training efficiency, each feature is standardized.
[0069] Subsequently, the collected series of standardized features and the corresponding historical observation up-adjustment coefficients are combined into a training sample set, which is trained using the LightGBM regressor to establish a nonlinear mapping relationship between features and fast up-adjustment coefficients.
[0070] In practical applications, by inputting the current standardized features, the corresponding evaporator fan rapid adjustment coefficient can be predicted through the trained LightGBM model.
[0071] Finally, the online adjustment capability of the cold storage evaporator fan is evaluated. Based on the rapid increase coefficient of the evaporator fan predicted by LightGBM, a model is constructed to evaluate the online adjustment capability of the cold storage evaporator fan.
[0072] The method of this embodiment can comprehensively consider the impact of changes in the cold storage temperature control environment and provide an accurate real-time estimation of the evaporator fan's rapid load response capability.
[0073] Step 4: Propose an AI evaluation model for the online adjustment capability of the refrigeration plant.
[0074] In this embodiment, the online adjustment capability evaluation model of the refrigeration compressor unit of the freezing plant based on LSTM, the online adjustment capability evaluation model of the refrigeration plant condenser fan based on XGBoost, and the online adjustment capability evaluation model of the cold storage evaporator fan of the freezing plant based on LightGBM are used to obtain the online adjustment capability of the refrigeration compressor unit, the online adjustment capability of the condenser fan, and the online adjustment capability of the cold storage evaporator fan. A model is constructed to evaluate the online adjustment capability of the freezing plant to provide support for the online regulation of the power grid.
[0075] Specifically, for step 1, this embodiment proposes an LSTM-based prediction model for the maximum allowable increase in compressor power change. Using compressor operating data (power, temperature, pressure, etc.) in a continuous time window, the LSTM is used to extract temporal dynamic features. After feature compression mapping, the maximum allowable increase in power change at the current moment is predicted. The specific process is as follows:
[0076] (1) Feature collection within the time window
[0077] Define that at time t on day d, the compressor characteristics of the most recent k steps are collected, including compressor power, compressor temperature, and compressor pressure. The formula is as follows:
[0078] X comp (d,t)={[P comp (d,τ),T comp (d,τ),P refrig.in (d,τ),P refrig.out (d,τ)]|τ=t-k+1,...,t}
[0079] Where: X comp (d, t) is the compressor characteristic sequence matrix, P comp (d,τ) is the power of the compressor at the time τ on the dth day, T comp (d,τ) is the temperature of the compressor at the time τ on the dth day, P refrig.in (d,τ) is the compressor input pressure at the dth day and time period τ, P refrig.out (d,τ) is the compressor output pressure at time τ on day d.
[0080] (2) Feature normalization processing
[0081] In order to eliminate the influence of features of different dimensions on training, the compressor feature sequence matrix is normalized by column (standardized to mean 0 and variance 1). The normalization operation is as follows:
[0082]
[0083] The normalized result is as follows:
[0084] X comp (d,t)=Norm(X comp (d,t))
[0085] Where: is the normalized feature matrix, X j (d,τ) is the feature matrix before normalization, μ j is the mean of the j-th class feature, σ j is the standard deviation of the j-th class feature, Xcomp (d, t) is the characteristic matrix after the compressor is normalized, X comp (d,t) is the characteristic sequence matrix of the compressor before normalization.
[0086] (3) LSTM dynamic feature encoding
[0087] The normalized compressor feature matrix is input into the LSTM network to obtain the hidden state at each moment. The formula is as follows:
[0088]
[0089] Where: h τ is the hidden state vector at the τth moment, c τ is the memory state of the unit at the τth moment, LSTMCell(·) is the LSTM network, X comp (d,τ) is the normalized compressor characteristic matrix, h τ-1 is the hidden state vector at the τ-1th moment, c τ-1 is the unit memory state at the τ-1th moment, h comp (d, t) is the hidden state vector of LSTM at the last moment.
[0090] (4) Feature compression mapping
[0091] The hidden layer state of the LSTM output is compressed and mapped into an intermediate prediction vector through a fully connected layer. The formula is as follows:
[0092] z comp (d,t)=W z ·h comp (d,t)+b z
[0093] Where: z comp (d, t) is the intermediate feature compression vector, W z is the feature map weight matrix, b z is the feature map bias vector, h comp (d, t) is the hidden state vector of LSTM at the last moment.
[0094] (5) Prediction of maximum allowable power increase change
[0095] The intermediate feature vector is mapped to a scalar and output to predict the maximum increase in the compressor capacity, where the predicted increase in the compressor capacity is expressed as ΔP comp,max (d,t):
[0096]
[0097] Where: ΔP comp,max(d, t) is the maximum allowable rapid increase in power change (kW) predicted in the final forecast, w out is the output weight vector, b out is the output bias term, z comp (d,t) is the intermediate feature compression vector.
[0098] Furthermore, in the online adjustment capability evaluation model of the refrigeration compressor unit based on LSTM in this embodiment, power regulation is usually achieved through variable frequency control (continuously adjustable within a certain range), the load adjustment range is usually the partial load area (50% to 100%), and the rapid adjustment capability is limited by the pressure fluctuation protection of the refrigeration system.
[0099] Since the compressor's up / down adjustment capability can only exist within the operational load range, its up / down adjustment capability will be limited and cannot be increased arbitrarily. The compressor's up / down adjustment capability is calculated as follows:
[0100]
[0101] Where: C up,comp (d,t) is the compressor's adjustment capacity at time t on day d, η comp,max is the maximum allowable load rate of the compressor, η comp (d,t) is the efficiency of the compressor at time t on day d, P comp,rated is the rated power of the compressor, ΔP comp,max The maximum allowable increase in compressor power, C down,comp (d,t) is the compressor's down-regulation capacity at time t on day d, η comp,min The minimum allowable load rate of the compressor.
[0102] Specifically, for step 2, this embodiment proposes a condenser fan upward characteristic index prediction model based on XGBoost, using the actual power data of the condenser fan under different load rates, through feature transformation (logarithm), the power function relationship is linearized, and the XGBoost regression model is trained to fit the relationship between load rate and power. The fan's upward characteristic index γ is inferred through the local derivative of the regression model.
[0103] (1) Collecting original data of fan operation
[0104] Collect the load rate and power data points of the fan over a period of time and use the data as the original data set D:
[0105]
[0106] Where: D is the original data set, recording the load rate and power, is the sampling time set, η cond(d, t) is the working efficiency of the condenser at time t on day d, P cond (d,t) is the power consumption of the condenser at time t on day d.
[0107] (2) Logarithmic transformation of original data
[0108] To linearize the power function relationship P∝η γ , perform logarithmic transformation on the data to obtain the logarithmic transformed data set D:
[0109]
[0110] Where: is the working efficiency of the condenser at time t on day d after logarithmic transformation, is the power consumption of the condenser at time t on day d after logarithmic transformation, η cond (d, t) is the working efficiency of the condenser at time t on day d before logarithmic transformation, P cond (d, t) is the power consumption of the condenser at time t on day d before logarithmic transformation; D is the new data set obtained by logarithmic transformation of the original data set D; log(·) is the logarithmic function.
[0111] (3) Organizing training features and label sets
[0112] Organize the logarithmic data into feature vector X and label vector Y respectively:
[0113]
[0114] Where: is the working efficiency of the condenser at time t on day d after logarithmic transformation, is the electric power corresponding to the condenser at time t on day d after logarithmic transformation.
[0115] (4) Training XGBoost regression model based on feature set
[0116] Train the XGBoost regression model, learn the mapping relationship between load rate and power (logarithmic space), and use the trained regression function f XGB (·) to output:
[0117]
[0118] Where: f XGB (·) is the trained regression function, is the electric power corresponding to the condenser at time t on day d after logarithmic transformation, is the working efficiency of the condenser at time t on day d after logarithmic transformation, f XGB(·) is the trained XGBoost regressor and ε(d,t) is the fitted residual noise term.
[0119] (5) Local derivative calculation: extracting the power exponent γ
[0120] During prediction, the trained regressor is differentiated around the current load rate to obtain the up-regulation characteristic index:
[0121]
[0122] Where: γ(d,t) is the condenser fan upward characteristic index at time t on day d, is the local first-order derivative of the regression function.
[0123] Furthermore, in the XGBoost-based condenser fan online regulation capability assessment model proposed in this embodiment, fans generally use multi-stage variable speed or variable frequency speed regulation, which minimizes the impact of load changes on the system and allows for rapid start / stop or speed changes. Increased speed of the condenser fan is primarily limited to its maximum speed, while decreased speed can be close to a stop.
[0124] Since the condenser fan power is approximately in a square relationship with the wind speed, its upward adjustment capacity increases nonlinearly with the remaining wind speed space. However, the downward adjustment of the condenser fan is relatively simple and linear. The upward adjustment is affected by nonlinearity and must be corrected. The upward and downward adjustment capacity of the condenser fan are calculated as follows:
[0125]
[0126] Where: C up,cond (d, t) is the upward adjustment capacity of the condenser fan, C down,cond (d,t) is the down regulation capability of the condenser fan, η cond (d,t) is the original load rate of the condenser fan, P cond,rated is the rated power of the condenser fan and the γ fan sharing function adjustment index (through empirical fitting).
[0127] Specifically, for step 3, the evaporator fan rapid increase coefficient prediction model based on LightGBM proposed in this embodiment, the evaporator fan rapid increase coefficient is affected by the following factors: initial load rate, temperature change rate in the cold storage, humidity change rate in the cold storage, cold storage environment capacity, etc. By collecting operating characteristics, the LightGBM regression model is used to learn the mapping relationship between characteristics and safety increase coefficients.
[0128] (1) Collecting evaporator fan operation data
[0129] At time t on day d, the following features are collected: the current load rate of the evaporator fan, the temperature change rate after the evaporator fan is adjusted upward, and the humidity change rate after the evaporator fan is adjusted upward, and the features are saved in the feature vector:
[0130] x evap (d,t)=[η evap (d,t),ΔT evap (d,t),ΔH evap (d,t)]
[0131] Where: x evap (d,t) is the eigenvector at a single moment, η evap (d, t) is the current load rate of the evaporator fan, ΔT evap (d, t) is the temperature change rate after the evaporator fan is adjusted upward (℃ / min), ΔH evap (d, t) is the humidity change rate after the evaporator fan is adjusted upward (% / min).
[0132] (2) Feature normalization processing
[0133] Standardize each type of feature to prevent dimensional differences from affecting model training:
[0134]
[0135] Where: is the scalarized eigenvector, x j (d,t) is the eigenvector before scalarization, μ j is the mean of the j-th feature, σ j is the standard deviation of the j-th class feature.
[0136] (3) Organizing training datasets
[0137] Organize all samples collected over a period of time into a training set and output the training feature set X evap and training label set Y evap :
[0138]
[0139] Where: X evap is the training feature set, is the normalized eigenvector, Y evap is the training label set, θ evap,obs (d,t) is the rapid upward adjustment coefficient obtained from historical experiments or empirical observations.
[0140] (4) LightGBM regression training
[0141] Based on the training set, train the LightGBM regressor to learn the mapping relationship between features and up-regulation coefficients, which is expressed as follows:
[0142] θ evap,obs (d,t)=f LightGBM (x evap (d,t))+ε(d,t)
[0143] Where: θ evap,ob ( s d,t) is the rapid upward adjustment coefficient obtained from historical experiments or empirical observations, f LightGBM (·) is the trained LightGBM regressor, ε(d,t) is the residual error, is the normalized feature vector.
[0144] (5) Predict the evaporator fan rapid adjustment coefficient
[0145] In the new operating state, input the normalized features and predict the rapid increase coefficient:
[0146] θ evap (d,t)=f LightGBM (x evap (d,t))
[0147] Where: θ evap (d, t) is the predicted evaporator fan rapid adjustment coefficient, f LightGBM (·) is the trained LightGBM regressor, is the normalized feature vector.
[0148] Furthermore, in the online adjustment capability evaluation model of the cold storage evaporator fan based on LightGBM proposed in this embodiment, the evaporator fan mainly maintains the air flow in the cold storage. Short-term air volume fluctuations have little effect on temperature control, but local temperature difference accumulation or frost problems need to be avoided.
