Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of elevator control technology, and more specifically, to an elevator hybrid energy storage control system and method based on dynamic passenger flow prediction and lifespan coordinated control. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasingly urgent need for energy structure transformation, elevator energy-saving control technology has become a focus. Traditional elevator systems consume a lot of energy and are inefficient in high-frequency usage scenarios such as office buildings and hospitals. However, a hybrid energy storage system using supercapacitors and batteries can serve as an effective solution for recovering and regenerating energy, smoothing load fluctuations, and improving system efficiency.

[0003] However, existing technologies have the following problems: hybrid energy storage systems based on fixed filtering frequencies cannot adapt to the drastic fluctuations in elevator loads; batteries and supercapacitors have uneven lifespans due to differences in their operating characteristics; and there is a lack of effective closed-loop control strategies for elevator scenarios, resulting in a disconnect between prediction and control. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects and shortcomings of the prior art and provide an elevator control system and method based on dynamic passenger flow prediction and lifespan collaborative control. This system dynamically adjusts the frequency domain boundary point to achieve adaptive energy distribution; establishes a coupled aging model of energy storage elements to collaboratively optimize multi-objective lifespan; and combines passenger flow prediction with energy distribution control to form a closed-loop control, thereby improving energy recovery efficiency and balancing equipment lifespan.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] An elevator control system based on dynamic passenger flow prediction and lifespan coordinated control includes a passenger flow prediction module, an energy decomposition module, a lifespan optimization module, and a closed-loop control module.

[0007] The passenger flow prediction module is used to predict elevator passenger flow density in real time based on the dynamic characteristics of elevator load, and output the elevator passenger flow prediction results.

[0008] The energy decomposition module is used to dynamically adjust the empirical mode decomposition parameters and adjust the frequency domain boundary point based on the elevator passenger flow prediction results to realize the energy storage distribution.

[0009] The lifetime optimization module is used to establish a coupled aging model of energy storage components, dynamically adjust the weights of optimization objectives in real time, and achieve collaborative optimization of the lifetime of multiple objectives.

[0010] The closed-loop control module is used to coordinate the control of each module and the hybrid energy storage system based on passenger flow forecast results, energy storage allocation and lifespan optimization information.

[0011] Furthermore, the passenger flow prediction module is used to predict elevator passenger density in real time based on the dynamic characteristics of elevator load, and output the elevator passenger flow prediction results, specifically:

[0012] The passenger flow prediction module uses a deep learning network based on spatiotemporal convolutional LSTM. By collecting data from inside the elevator car, the call buttons on each floor, and the turnstiles, it constructs a spatiotemporal dataset to achieve a refined prediction of the short-term passenger flow density.

[0013] The passenger flow prediction module consists of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The hidden layer adopts a structure that combines one-dimensional convolution and long short-term memory networks. The input data includes passenger flow density, building type coding, and time period information. The network is trained and optimized by using historical data and adding Gaussian noise for data augmentation. After the network is trained, it outputs the predicted passenger flow density sequence by inputting the feature data of the current moment.

[0014] Furthermore, the energy decomposition module is used to dynamically adjust the empirical mode decomposition parameters and frequency domain boundary points based on elevator passenger flow prediction results to achieve energy storage allocation, specifically:

[0015] The energy decomposition module dynamically adjusts the window length and wavelet entropy threshold of the empirical mode decomposition based on the predicted passenger flow density, realizes the adaptive calculation of the frequency domain boundary point, and divides the frequency band into high-frequency and low-frequency parts through the boundary frequency mapping function.

[0016] In the energy decomposition module, the window length W of the empirical mode decomposition algorithm is dynamically adjusted according to the predicted passenger flow density D, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0017] W = W0 - k·D;

[0018] In the formula, W0 is the base window length; k is the adjustment coefficient; D is the predicted passenger flow density; when the passenger flow density is high, the window becomes shorter to capture high-frequency components; when the passenger flow density is low, the window becomes longer to capture low-frequency components.

[0019] The wavelet entropy threshold Th is obtained by fitting historical data, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0020] Th = ab·D;

[0021] In the formula, a and b are fitting coefficients.

[0022] Furthermore, the lifetime optimization module is used to establish a coupled aging model of energy storage components, dynamically adjust the weights of optimization objectives in real time, and achieve collaborative optimization of multi-objective lifetimes, specifically:

[0023] The lifespan optimization module establishes a coupled model of the battery cycle life decay factor λ_bat and the aging increment ΔESR of the supercapacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR). The weights of the three optimization objectives are dynamically adjusted in real time through an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm to achieve collaborative optimization of multi-objective lifespan.

[0024] The weights of the three optimization objectives are calculated using the following formulas:

[0025] α = α0 - c1·λ_bat;

[0026] β = β0;

[0027] γ = γ0 + c2·Δ_ESR;

[0028] In the formula, α is used to minimize grid impact, β is used to maximize energy recovery efficiency, γ is used to minimize the aging rate of energy storage system, α0, β0, and γ0 are the basic weight values ​​of each optimization objective, and c1 and c2 are adjustment coefficients.

[0029] The formula for calculating the supercapacitor power allocation ratio Ratio_SC is:

[0030] Ratio_SC=R_base-k1·Δ_ESR+k2·λ_bat;

[0031] In the formula, R_base is the basic allocation ratio, and k1 and k2 are fitting coefficients.

[0032] Furthermore, the closed-loop control module adopts a master-slave control structure, including a master controller and slave controllers. The master controller is responsible for coordinating the work of the passenger flow prediction module, energy decomposition module, and lifespan optimization module, while the slave controllers are responsible for executing specific control tasks. The master controller communicates with each slave controller through the CAN bus to realize real-time data acquisition and control command issuance.

[0033] Furthermore, the closed-loop control module uses a bidirectional DC / DC converter to connect the hybrid energy storage system and the elevator frequency converter, achieving efficient energy conversion through PWM complementary mode.

[0034] Furthermore, during the operation of the elevator control system, the closed-loop control module monitors passenger flow prediction errors, energy storage system aging rate, and grid fluctuation rate in real time. When an anomaly is detected, the elevator control system automatically adjusts and optimizes its strategy. When the prediction error is large, the elevator control system increases the length of the empirical mode decomposition analysis window. When the grid fluctuation rate is high, the elevator control system increases the weight of maximizing energy recovery efficiency to optimize energy recovery efficiency.

[0035] An elevator control method based on dynamic passenger flow prediction and lifespan coordinated control, applied to the aforementioned elevator control system based on dynamic passenger flow prediction and lifespan coordinated control, includes the following steps:

[0036] Passenger flow forecasting: Based on the dynamic characteristics of elevator load, predict elevator passenger flow density in real time and output the elevator passenger flow forecast results;

[0037] Energy decomposition: Based on elevator passenger flow forecast results, the empirical mode decomposition parameters are dynamically adjusted, and the frequency domain boundary point is adjusted to achieve energy storage distribution;

[0038] Lifetime optimization: Establish a coupled aging model for energy storage components, dynamically adjust the weights of optimization objectives in real time, and achieve collaborative optimization of the lifetime of multiple objectives;

[0039] Closed-loop control: Based on passenger flow forecasts, energy storage allocation, and lifespan optimization information, the system performs coordinated control of each module and the hybrid energy storage system.

[0040] An electronic device includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it implements the elevator control method based on dynamic passenger flow prediction and lifespan coordinated control as described above.

[0041] A storage medium, a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the elevator control method based on dynamic passenger flow prediction and lifespan coordinated control as described above.

[0056] The lifetime optimization module is used to establish a coupled aging model of energy storage components, dynamically adjust the weights of optimization objectives in real time, and achieve collaborative optimization of the lifetime of multiple objectives.

[0057] The closed-loop control module is used to coordinate the control of each module and the hybrid energy storage system based on passenger flow forecast results, energy storage allocation and lifespan optimization information.

[0058] Please see Figure 2Specifically, the passenger flow prediction module uses a deep learning network based on spatiotemporal convolutional LSTM. By collecting data from inside the elevator car, call buttons on each floor, and turnstiles, it constructs a spatiotemporal dataset to achieve refined prediction of future short-term passenger flow density.

[0059] The passenger flow prediction module consists of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The hidden layer adopts a structure that combines one-dimensional convolution and long short-term memory networks. The input data includes passenger flow density, building type coding, and time period information. The network is trained and optimized by using historical data and adding Gaussian noise for data augmentation. After the network is trained, it outputs the predicted passenger flow density sequence by inputting the feature data of the current moment.

[0060] Specifically, the energy decomposition module dynamically adjusts the window length and wavelet entropy threshold of the empirical mode decomposition based on the predicted passenger flow density, realizes the adaptive calculation of the frequency domain boundary point, and divides the frequency band into high-frequency and low-frequency parts through the boundary frequency mapping function.

[0061] In the energy decomposition module, the window length W of the empirical mode decomposition algorithm is dynamically adjusted according to the predicted passenger flow density D, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0062] W = W0 - k·D;

[0063] In the formula, W0 is the base window length; k is the adjustment coefficient; D is the predicted passenger flow density; when the passenger flow density is high, the window becomes shorter to capture high-frequency components; when the passenger flow density is low, the window becomes longer to capture low-frequency components.

[0064] The wavelet entropy threshold Th is obtained by fitting historical data, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0065] Th = ab·D;

[0066] In the formula, a and b are fitting coefficients.

[0067] Specifically, the life optimization module establishes a coupled model of the battery cycle life decay factor λ_bat and the aging increment ΔESR of the supercapacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR). Through an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm, the weights of the three optimization objectives are dynamically adjusted in real time to achieve collaborative optimization of multi-objective lifespan.

[0068] The weights of the three optimization objectives are calculated using the following formulas:

[0069] α = α0 - c1·λ_bat;

[0070] β = β0;

[0071] γ = γ0 + c2·Δ_ESR;

[0072] In the formula, α is used to minimize grid impact, β is used to maximize energy recovery efficiency, γ is used to minimize the aging rate of energy storage system, α0, β0, and γ0 are the basic weight values ​​of each optimization objective, and c1 and c2 are adjustment coefficients.

[0073] The formula for calculating the supercapacitor power allocation ratio Ratio_SC is:

[0074] Ratio_SC=R_base-k1·Δ_ESR+k2·λ_bat;

[0075] In the formula, R_base is the basic allocation ratio, and k1 and k2 are fitting coefficients.

[0076] Please see Figure 3 Specifically, the closed-loop control module adopts a master-slave control structure, including a master controller and slave controllers. The master controller is responsible for coordinating the operation of the passenger flow prediction module, energy decomposition module, and lifespan optimization module, while the slave controllers are responsible for executing specific control tasks. The master controller communicates with each slave controller via a CAN bus to achieve real-time data acquisition and control command issuance. The closed-loop control module uses a bidirectional DC / DC converter to connect the hybrid energy storage system and the elevator frequency converter, achieving efficient energy conversion through a PWM complementary mode.

[0077] During the operation of the elevator control system, the closed-loop control module monitors passenger flow prediction errors, energy storage system aging rate, and power grid fluctuation rate in real time. When an anomaly is detected, the elevator control system automatically adjusts and optimizes its strategy. When the prediction error is large, the elevator control system increases the length of the empirical mode decomposition analysis window. When the power grid fluctuation rate is high, the elevator control system increases the weight of maximizing energy recovery efficiency to optimize energy recovery efficiency.
