Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building energy equipment regulation technology, specifically to an optimized control system for building equipment based on multi-agent systems, used for the optimized control of air conditioning systems and fresh air systems. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-agent systems are an important branch of distributed artificial intelligence. With the development of building intelligence, building energy regulation and control systems have become important tools for energy conservation, emission reduction, and equipment maintenance. Traditional intelligent control methods for indoor environmental temperature have a relatively one-sided view of comfortable temperature positioning. They often simply determine the comfortable temperature based on the subjective feelings of humans in a large sample, failing to make targeted adjustments based on the actual situation of people. Furthermore, the indoor comfortable environmental temperature setting is relatively fixed, which can easily lead to large temperature differences. For example, in summer when the outside temperature is high, a relatively low cooling temperature is often set indoors to ensure comfort. Although this large temperature difference can eliminate heat, the large range of temperature changes is very detrimental to people's health, especially when people frequently switch between indoor and outdoor environments, which is quite stimulating to the human body.

[0003] To address this, a multi-agent-based optimized control system for building equipment is proposed. This system can determine whether heating or cooling is needed based on thermal images of people, and provide flexible control conditions for energy-saving requirements while meeting the temperature needs of people's comfortable environment through small and large gradient adjustments.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the system architecture of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides the following technical solution: an optimized control system for building equipment based on multi-agent systems, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, it consists of a device layer, an edge layer, and a cloud platform layer. The device layer communicates with the edge layer through a communication protocol, and the edge layer communicates with the cloud platform layer through a communication protocol.

[0021] As a preferred option, the equipment layer is used to collect environmental data, thermal images of personnel, and relevant data of electrical equipment. Specifically, the equipment layer includes temperature sensors, humidity sensors, infrared thermal imagers, air conditioning systems, and fresh air systems. Among them, several sets of temperature and humidity sensors are set up and deployed indoors and outdoors respectively to collect outdoor temperature and humidity, indoor temperature and humidity as environmental data. The infrared thermal imager is a temperature-measuring type infrared thermal imager used to acquire thermal images of personnel. The electrical equipment is the air conditioning system and the fresh air system.

[0022] As a preferred solution, to achieve coordinated control of the air conditioning system and the fresh air system and provide a comfortable environment for indoor occupants, the edge layer includes a functional area division module and an edge control module. An edge control strategy is built into the edge layer, and this strategy is implemented based on the functional area division module and the edge control module. The edge control module is used to control the electrical equipment, and the functional area division module is used to divide nodes and obtain several functional areas. The node division methods include: The indoor area is divided into functional zones, with each individual functional zone as a node, and the equipment layer under that node consisting of all electrical equipment in that individual functional zone.

[0023] To further explain, after completing the division of functional areas into corresponding nodes, infrared thermal imagers are installed in the nodes to acquire thermal images of personnel within those nodes. After adding unique identifiers to each person, a mapping relationship is established between their thermal images and their identities. Specific methods include: The Canny edge detection algorithm was used to extract the human body outline from the thermal image, and the aspect ratio and torso proportion were calculated as human-specific thermal image feature parameters.

[0024] By identifying unique personnel information based on thermal image feature data, personnel identity can be recognized. After setting different priority permissions for personnel, the permission priority of the current personnel at the node can be obtained.

[0025] As a preferred solution, the cloud platform layer incorporates a data analysis model and a dynamic strategy adjustment module. The data analysis model is used to generate device-level control logic based on pre-processed analysis data to perform gradient adjustment of node temperature. The dynamic strategy adjustment module optimizes the control strategy in real time through a deep Q network and triggers an emergency control mode when the environmental load changes abruptly. The cloud platform layer includes an energy consumption analysis model, a gradient control model, and a database.

[0026] As a preferred option, the energy consumption analysis model is used to analyze the energy consumption of indoor systems when reaching the target temperature and humidity under different outdoor temperature and humidity environments. Since indoor spaces are mostly relatively enclosed spaces, taking enclosed spaces as an example, the energy consumption of the air conditioning system and the fresh air system when reaching the target temperature and humidity indoors under different combinations of outdoor temperature and humidity environments is collected and recorded as reference data. After obtaining a large number of samples, the missing data is supplemented by linear interpolation to generate the energy consumption analysis model. After obtaining the actual energy consumption data, the supplemented data is replaced.

[0027] As a preferred option, the gradient control module offers the advantage of flexible and personalized settings. Specifically, it determines the comfortable temperature of the environment based on thermal images of personnel and combines this with an energy consumption analysis model to implement small or large gradient control of electrical equipment. Small gradient control adjusts the temperature by 0.3-0.5℃, while large gradient control adjusts it by 1.2-1.5℃. Specific control methods include: During periods of high electricity prices, implement small-gradient control of electrical equipment with energy conservation as the goal: During periods of high electricity prices, electrical equipment is controlled with a large gradient to ensure comfort. During periods of low electricity prices, electrical equipment is controlled with a large gradient to ensure comfort. During periods of low electricity prices, small-gradient control of electrical equipment is implemented with energy conservation as the goal.

[0028] The above control method can be actively determined by the system administrator. The temperature response speed in this control method is shown in Table 1. Table 1 As a detailed explanation, the energy-saving mode uses the energy efficiency ratio as a reference to control the air conditioning system and the fresh air system.

[0029] As a detailed explanation, the methods for determining the environmental comfort temperature of personnel based on thermal images include: Based on thermal images of personnel, regional temperatures are compared to determine the required ambient temperature for personnel to cool down or heat up. The determination methods include: when At that time, it was determined that the personnel needed to be heated; when At that time, maintain the current temperature; In the formula, The ratio of temperature difference between the limbs and the trunk. This represents the average temperature of the hand. The average temperature of the feet. The surface temperature of the chest. This refers to the abdominal surface temperature. To determine the threshold for temperature increase; when At that time, it was determined that the personnel needed to be cooled down; when At that time, maintain the current temperature; In the formula, The face and neck temperature load index. It is a function of forehead surface temperature changing over time. Set the temperature for the air conditioning system. The rate of change of neck surface temperature. The weighting coefficient for the rate of change of neck temperature. The integration time interval, To determine the threshold for cooling; Based on the judgment results, combined with the personnel's previous location, current location, and the current status of the air conditioning system and fresh air system, the control logic for the air conditioning system and fresh air system is generated and sent to the corresponding nodes for control of the subordinate equipment layer.

[0030] As a preferred option, the deep Q-network in the dynamic policy adjustment module includes: State space: includes ambient temperature and humidity, equipment energy consumption, personnel thermal image features, current control strategy parameters and electricity price time period identifiers, as well as the control effect prediction features output by the data analysis model. The control effect prediction features include the energy consumption prediction deviation rate for the next 15 minutes output by the energy consumption analysis model based on the deviation between the simulated energy consumption value of the current gradient strategy and the actual value of the same historical scenario, and the dynamic sensitivity of personnel comfort output by the gradient control model based on the frequency of personnel body movement and the rate of change of face and neck temperature in the thermal image. Action space: includes temperature gradient adjustment, equipment start / stop, fan speed adjustment, fresh air system linkage, and thermal imaging resolution switching, as well as the output of dynamic gradient coefficient k, k∈[0.8,1.2]. The dynamic gradient coefficient is used to correct the basic adjustment range of the gradient control model (small gradient adjustment range = [0.3℃, 0.5℃]×k, large gradient adjustment range = [1.2℃, 1.5℃]×k). Its reward function is: In the formula, To reduce energy consumption, To achieve the maximum energy consumption reduction, Rate user comfort. The user comfort score is the maximum. For equipment operating costs, To maximize equipment operating costs, All are weighting coefficients. A quadratic term for energy consumption cost is added to penalize extreme cases of excessively high energy consumption, improving the model's ability to capture nonlinear relationships. These weighting coefficients are dynamically generated by the cloud platform layer data analysis model based on real-time scene characteristics: when the gradient control model detects a person's attention span > 70% based on the percentage of time their head remains stationary in the thermal image, Increased to 0.4 (baseline value 0.3). Reduce by 10%; when the energy consumption analysis model detects that the equipment efficiency degradation rate is >15%, Increased to 0.5 (baseline value 0.3); Q network update mechanism: The historical state-action-reward triplet is stored in the experience replay pool. Batch data is extracted every 5 minutes to update the Q network parameters. The target network synchronizes the weight of the main network once every 1 hour. In addition, node collaboration features are introduced during the update process. The node collaboration features include cross-node temperature uniformity deviation and correlation between device start-up and shutdown frequency.

[0031] To further explain, the dynamic policy adjustment module optimizes the control policy in real time through a deep Q-network in the following ways: A1. The data analysis model generates an initial gradient control strategy, which includes small or large gradient control signals, and simultaneously outputs the control effect prediction features to the deep Q network. A2. The deep Q network takes the environmental state, historical data of gradient control strategy, and prediction characteristics of control effect as input, and outputs optimized control actions and cross-node resource scheduling instructions. The cross-node resource scheduling instructions are used to coordinate the startup sequence of multi-node devices. The optimized control actions include dynamic gradient coefficients. A3. Feed the optimized actions back to the data analysis model: For the gradient control model, the basic adjustment amplitude is reconstructed by the dynamic gradient coefficient k; For energy consumption analysis models, nonlinear loss characteristics of equipment are injected, such as the efficiency decay rate of air conditioners under high load operation, to correct energy consumption prediction. A4: When the temperature deviation exceeds the preset temperature deviation threshold within a unit of time, and the rate of change of the deviation exceeds the preset rate of change threshold, it is determined that a sudden environmental change has occurred. At this time, the Q network parameter update is frozen, and the temperature adjustment amplitude of the current gradient is increased according to a preset ratio. After the equipment has been running for a set period of time, if the rate of increase in energy consumption exceeds the preset energy consumption rate threshold within a unit of time, it is determined that a sudden environmental change has occurred. At this time, the Q network parameter update is frozen, and the temperature adjustment range of the current gradient is reduced by a preset ratio. A5: If a sudden environmental change is detected, the deep Q network activates its fault-tolerant action space: while maintaining the core control objectives, a temporary "equipment load buffer coefficient" is added (e.g., the upper limit of the air conditioner compressor speed is reduced by 15%). Normal optimization is resumed after the environment stabilizes. The method for determining environmental stability is: the temperature deviation lasts for 10 minutes < 1℃ and the energy consumption increase rate < 2%·min. -1 ; A6: In multi-node scenarios, the global deep Q network integrates the optimization results of the local deep Q networks of each node, and corrects the total energy consumption calculation logic of the cloud platform data analysis model through the cross-node energy consumption transfer coefficient, thereby realizing complementary energy scheduling between nodes.

[0032] For example, if the temperature deviation exceeds the preset temperature deviation threshold within a unit of time, and the rate of change of the deviation exceeds the preset rate of change threshold, it is determined that a sudden environmental change has occurred. At this time, the Q-network parameter update is frozen, and the temperature adjustment amplitude of the current gradient is increased by a preset ratio. For example, if the temperature deviation is >2℃ and the rate of change of the deviation is greater than 0.5℃ / min, the temperature adjustment amplitude is increased to 120% of the current gradient. After the equipment has been running for a set period of time, if the rate of energy consumption increase exceeds the preset energy consumption increase rate threshold within a unit of time, a sudden environmental change is identified. At this time, the Q-network parameter update is frozen, and the temperature adjustment amplitude of the current gradient is reduced by a preset ratio. If the energy consumption increase rate is greater than 5%·min -1 If so, the temperature adjustment range is limited to 80% of the current gradient.

[0033] To further explain, the input to the deep Q network can also be extended to the following dimensions: ambient temperature and humidity, equipment energy consumption, thermal image features of personnel, electricity price time period identifiers, and the historical execution effect of the gradient control strategy. The historical execution effect of the gradient control strategy includes, but is not limited to, the rate of change of temperature adjustment amplitude and the energy consumption deviation rate.

[0034] As a preferred option, thermal imaging resolution switching methods include: The structure reparameterization technique is used to perform real-time super-resolution reconstruction of low-resolution thermal images. The reconstructed thermal images meet the following requirements: peak signal-to-noise ratio > 30dB and structural similarity > 0.85. In the emergency control mode, the system switches to low-resolution mode to reduce computing power consumption. The resolution switching command is dynamically generated by the deep Q network based on the edge layer computing power occupancy rate and the node data processing load.

[0035] As a detailed explanation, the method for determining the location of a person at the previous moment is as follows: obtain the previous time period closest to the time point when the thermal image of the current person is acquired, and determine the location of the person at the previous moment based on the person's identity information. Conversely, if the previous time period does not exist in any of the nodes, then it is determined that the person is in an outdoor environment.

[0036] Once the location of a person at the previous moment is determined, the ambient temperature at that location can be determined. Combined with the ambient temperature at the current location, if it is determined that the person needs to raise, lower, or maintain the current temperature of the environment, the ambient temperature can be adjusted accordingly.

[0037] As a preferred solution, in order to ensure indoor temperature control when multiple people are in the same node, when there is a single high-priority user in the same node, the target is the ambient temperature requirement of the high-priority user. When several personnel at the current node share the same high-priority access, the environmental temperature requirements of all high-priority personnel at the current node are represented in a ternary form. Then, the environmental temperature requirement control target is determined. The determination method includes: In the formula, To quantify the indicator value, This represents the sum of the ternary representations of the environmental temperature requirements for all high-priority users at the current node. This represents the total number of all high-priority users on the current node. when At that time, it was determined that the ambient temperature requirement was to increase the temperature. when At that time, the ambient temperature requirement is determined to be to maintain the current temperature; when At that time, it was determined that the ambient temperature required cooling.

[0038] Simulation Experiment Outdoor temperature and humidity, current indoor temperature, and thermal image data of three people entering the room from outdoors were collected. Based on the judgment method provided in this invention, it was determined whether the temperature needed to be raised, lowered, or maintained, and the indoor temperature was controlled accordingly. The results were compared with the actual feelings of the people. The experimental results are shown in Table 2. Table 2 As can be seen from Table 2, the present invention can determine whether a person's temperature is rising, falling, or maintaining the current temperature based on thermal images of the person.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
