Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluid machinery control technology, specifically to a multimodal energy-saving optimization operation technology for a high-efficiency energy-saving water pump, applicable to scenarios such as building water supply, industrial circulation systems, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). Background Technology

[0002] Current water pump systems generally suffer from high energy consumption and low operating efficiency. Traditional control methods mainly rely on single variable frequency speed regulation or mains frequency operation, which have the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Fixed speed control: deviates from the high-efficiency range under partial load conditions, resulting in significant energy waste;

[0004] 2. Limitations of frequency converter control: Under ultra-low load or ultra-high load conditions, the efficiency of a single frequency converter mode decreases significantly;

[0005] 3. Lack of system coordination: Multi-pump parallel systems often adopt simple start-stop strategies without optimizing load distribution and switching timing;

[0006] 4. Insufficient dynamic response: When faced with fluctuations in traffic demand, control lag leads to pressure fluctuations and additional energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-modal energy-saving optimization operation technology for high-efficiency and energy-saving water pumps to overcome the defects of existing technologies.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] This invention provides a multi-modal energy-saving optimization operation method for high-efficiency and energy-saving water pumps, comprising the following steps:

[0010] (1) Operating condition identification and data acquisition: Real-time acquisition of the operating parameters of the water pump system, including flow rate, head, power, temperature and pipeline pressure data;

[0011] (2) Multimodal operation mode classification: Based on historical data and real-time load demand, the pump operation conditions are divided into at least three energy-saving modes: high-efficiency constant speed mode, variable frequency speed regulation mode, and multi-pump collaborative scheduling mode.

[0012] (3) Dynamic pattern matching and optimization control:

[0013] By using a preset energy efficiency model and load prediction algorithm, the optimal operating mode under the current working conditions is matched; in the variable frequency speed regulation mode, fuzzy PID control is used to adjust the motor speed in real time, so that the pump operating point dynamically tracks the high efficiency zone of the system.

[0014] (4) Multimodal cooperative switching strategy:

[0015] When the system load changes beyond the threshold, the mode switching benefit is evaluated based on the energy efficiency cost function to achieve a seamless mode switching. In the multi-pump collaborative mode, the pump group is dynamically started and stopped and the load is allocated according to the flow demand to maximize the overall energy efficiency ratio of the system.

[0016] Preferably, in step (1), the operating parameters are collected in real time by IoT sensors and transmitted to edge computing nodes for preprocessing.

[0017] Preferably, in step (2), the multimodal classification uses a clustering algorithm (K-means or DBSCAN) to divide the historical energy efficiency data into operating conditions, and combines the real-time load prediction model to correct the mode boundary.

[0018] Preferably, in step (3), the energy efficiency model is a three-dimensional surface model of the pump system efficiency-flow-head, and the model parameters are updated online through a reinforcement learning algorithm.

[0019] Preferably, in step (4), the energy efficiency cost function is defined as: C = α·P 能耗 +β·T 切换延迟 +γ·Δ 压力波动

[0020] Where α, β, and γ are weighting coefficients, which are determined through actual system calibration.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] This invention employs a multi-modal dynamic matching mechanism combining constant speed, variable frequency, and multi-pump collaboration to ensure that the water pump always operates in its high-efficiency zone within the 0%-120% load range, overcoming the efficiency degradation problem of a single mode under extreme conditions and reducing overall energy consumption by 15%-30%. The switching process is zero-disturbance, based on pre-evaluation using an energy efficiency cost function and a smooth transition using a ramp function, achieving pressure fluctuations of ≤±2% during mode switching, avoiding water hammer effects, reducing equipment failure rates by 40%, and extending pump lifespan. Furthermore, this invention utilizes edge computing nodes to process data in real time, combined with reinforcement learning to update the energy efficiency model online, dynamically adapting to changes in pipeline characteristics (such as pipe corrosion and increased resistance), with flow tracking errors controlled within ±3%.

[0023] This invention, in a multi-pump collaborative mode, dynamically allocates the flow of each pump through a load balancing algorithm, improving the overall system energy efficiency ratio by 8%-12% and avoiding the "overpowered" phenomenon. This invention introduces electricity price period factors and load forecasting, prioritizing energy storage during low-price periods and automatically switching to the lowest energy consumption mode during peak periods, reducing overall electricity costs by 18%-25% and achieving flexible energy management.
