Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of energy consumption management control, in particular to a building energy consumption deviation diagnosis method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The current mainstream technology of building energy consumption deviation diagnosis mainly relies on intelligent analysis modules deployed in the cloud or edge platform. It usually collects real-time data of electricity, water, and cold meters through gateways, and compares them with preset static threshold rules (such as fixed period of use upper limit) or simple statistical models based on historical data. When the real-time energy consumption data exceeds the preset threshold or deviates significantly from the historical statistical interval, the system determines that there is an energy consumption anomaly and triggers an alarm.
[0003] The main defect of the prior art is the roughness of the diagnosis logic and the lack of scene adaptability. Static threshold rules cannot dynamically respond to changes in building operating conditions (such as extreme weather, sudden increase in human traffic due to special events, etc.), which can easily cause false positives or false negatives. While the model based on historical statistics can reflect trends, it is difficult to accurately distinguish between normal fluctuations and real anomalies, and it is also difficult to locate the specific equipment or operating link of the anomaly. This results in the fact that the operation and maintenance personnel can only obtain the surface information that "there is an anomaly", and still need to spend a lot of manpower to investigate the root cause, which makes it difficult to support accurate and efficient energy-saving intervention. Therefore, the core technical problem that needs to be solved at present is: how to achieve fine and automatic root cause diagnosis of energy consumption deviation in a complex and variable building operating environment, and accurately locate to a specific device or time period, so as to provide executable decision basis for active energy-saving regulation.

[0019] Step 2: Energy consumption benchmark value generation The specific process of steps 2-5 is shown in FIGS. 3-6. Figure 3 Figure 4
[0020] (1) According to the energy consumption historical statistical value, the week-over-year value, the AI prediction value and the quota management value are generated The final benchmark value is synthesized according to the historical week same period value, the AI prediction value and the quota management value three benchmark values and the weight rule. The historical week same period value takes the average value of the same day and time period in the past 4 weeks, the AI prediction value is based on the LSTM to predict the energy consumption in the next 24 hours (input: temperature + week feature + behavior feature), and the quota management value is the unit area energy consumption standard multiplied by the building area.
[0021] (2) Custom configuration of diagnosis rules, including diagnosis time dimension and numerical percentage dimension, for comparison and analysis by the diagnosis engine.
[0022] In this embodiment, the diagnosis rules are dynamically configured, and the deviation alarm threshold is configured according to the time dimension. The time dimension supports diagnosis by hour / day / month granularity; the deviation alarm threshold is set as a segmented percentage threshold, and different deviation alarm thresholds are set for different behavior times such as working hours on weekdays, non-working days and night hours, for example: 10% alarm above the benchmark value during 8:00-18:00 on weekdays, and 30% alarm above the benchmark value during night hours.

[0024] (1) The statistical dimension performs numerical anomaly analysis according to the business unit proportion intensity.
[0025] (2) Single device basic anomaly detection includes four types of data interruption, zero value anomaly, jump anomaly and continuous overrun. Among them: The monitoring logic of numerical interruption is that the data of the last three periods is 0 or empty; the detection logic of zero value anomaly is that the active power reading value of the device is 0 but the device state is running; the detection logic of jump anomaly is that the change rate of adjacent two points is greater than the historical maximum fluctuation rate multiplied by 3; the monitoring logic of continuous overrun is that the last six periods exceed the benchmark threshold.

[0027] Step five: closed-loop feedback optimization The diagnosis report is output to assist the operation and maintenance personnel to quickly identify energy consumption abnormalities, locate abnormal nodes and provide decision support for users, including: adjusting energy consumption timing strategy and linkage strategy, timely replacing abnormal fault devices, etc.
