Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0040] In order to make the above objectives, characteristics and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0041] The embodiment provides a quick prediction method for heat response of a middle-deep buried pipe heat exchanger based on artificial intelligence, and the method comprises the following steps:
[0042] Obtaining temperature field snapshot data of the middle-deep buried pipe heat exchanger system under different operating conditions;
[0043] Orthogonal decomposition is performed on the temperature field snapshot data to obtain main modal characteristics and corresponding amplitudes;
[0044] Taking the parameters of each operating condition as input variables and the main modal characteristics and corresponding amplitudes as output variables, a BP neural network is trained to construct an artificial intelligence agent model;
[0045] The parameters of a target operating condition are input into the artificial intelligence agent model, the main modal amplitudes under the target operating condition are output, and the temperature field is reconstructed, so that the quick prediction of the heat response of the middle-deep buried pipe heat exchanger under the target operating condition is completed.
[0046] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the following steps and contents are included: Figure 3
[0047] S1: POD agent model construction process.
[0048] As shown in the figures, first, the temperature field snapshot data of a certain middle-deep buried pipe heat exchanger system under different groundwater seepage velocities (0-10 m / s) and operating time periods (0-5 years) is obtained, and three-dimensional temperature distribution at -6 Figure 1 Figure 2 a total of 100 time points is collected. The matrices of all snapshots are arranged to construct a temperature sample matrix:
[0049]
[0050]
[0051] wherein, is the total fluctuation sample of the temperature field, , is the radial coordinate, is the vertical coordinate, is the first sampling time.
[0052] Specifically, temperature field snapshot data of the ground heat exchanger system at different times and operating conditions is obtained; based on the snapshot idea: the POD algorithm involves using data obtained from a high-dimensional system to construct a snapshot matrix. Then, the snapshot matrix is projected into a low-dimensional parameter space, in which the dispersion of the snapshot matrix is required to be maximized. The snapshot matrix available at a certain time point constitutes a 65x50 matrix , and the samples of the 50 different time layers taken are required to be linearly independent, and the step length between adjacent samples needs to be sufficiently long. In order to provide a more compact sparse linear combination in a low-dimensional space, help to reduce the calculation storage cost and simulation complexity, the sample matrix obtained is as follows:
[0053] .
[0054] S2: Orthogonal decomposition is performed on the snapshot data to obtain the principal mode function and the corresponding amplitude.
[0055] Using the POD technology to perform eigenvalue orthogonal decomposition, the characteristic mode and the corresponding whole coefficient are obtained, and the temperature field expression is reconstructed as:
[0056] ;
[0057] wherein, is the number of principal modes selected, generally accounting for more than 90% of the total energy.
[0058] Specifically, since the number of rows in the snapshot matrix is greater than the number of columns, the dimension of the matrix will be much larger than that of the matrix . Therefore, in order to reduce the calculation complexity in the eigenvalue decomposition process and avoid the generation of singular matrices, the truncated free element defined can accurately and efficiently implement the best orthogonal decomposition on the matrix :
[0059] ;
[0060] wherein, is a two-dimensional calculation domain in the spatial direction. And the array is constructed with the truncated free element as an element:
[0061] ;
[0062] is a 50x50 symmetric matrix, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix are solved and , the generation process of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors here can be calculated as follows:
[0063] ;
[0064] The modal function is constructed as , wherein is calculated.
[0065] The spectral coefficients are obtained by calculating the projection of the temperature field sample on the basis function space, that is, , wherein T refers to the total fluctuation sample of the temperature field, and the temperature field is coupled and reconstructed, and finally the drilling outlet temperature and the sampling temperature at different times are output.
[0066] S3: Artificial intelligence BP neural network modeling.
[0067] An artificial intelligence agent model based on BP neural network is constructed, the parameters of each operating condition are taken as input variables, and the main modal characteristics and corresponding amplitudes are taken as output variables, and the temperature modal amplitude is predicted under the input system parameters. The system input parameters are organized into a vector:
[0068] ;
[0069] , wherein is the groundwater seepage velocity; is the formation thermal conductivity; t is the time; is the initial temperature. Other operating parameters such as burial depth, grouting parameters, etc. are also included, and the BP neural network is a multi-output function:
[0070] ;
[0071] The output is the amplitude prediction value of each modal, which is used for temperature field reconstruction.
[0072] As shown in Figure 4 , a three-layer BP neural network structure is adopted:
[0073] Input layer: seepage velocity, formation thermal conductivity, operating time, initial ground temperature and other physical parameters;
[0074] Hidden layer: ReLU or tanh activation function is used;
[0075] Output layer: main modal amplitude , which is used for reconstructing the temperature field.
[0076] The neural network is supervised trained using the training set, and the loss function is the root mean square error (RMSE). The validation set error tends to be stable after the 20th round. The final model can be used to quickly predict the temperature field distribution under the target parameters.
[0077] The training set comes from the snapshot data generated by the numerical simulation of three-dimensional unsteady ground heat exchanger. Under different operating conditions (such as burial depth, soil layer distribution, groundwater seepage velocity, grouting thermal conductivity, and operating time), the temperature field is solved by a high-precision numerical model, and the global temperature distribution is extracted at a specific time node to form a snapshot matrix. Then, the snapshot matrix is subjected to proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to obtain the principal modal function and the corresponding amplitude coefficient sequence. In the supervised training process, each operating parameter is taken as an input variable, and the amplitude of each principal mode obtained by POD decomposition is taken as an output variable to construct an input-output mapping relationship. The root mean square error (RMSE) is used as the loss function for iterative optimization. The trained BP neural network can quickly predict the amplitude of each principal mode under given new operating parameters, and reconstruct the temperature field through POD, thereby realizing efficient approximation of complex three-dimensional unsteady temperature distribution.
[0078] S4: Rapid prediction of thermal performance and inverse analysis of thermal conductivity parameters.
[0079] The efficiency of thermal performance prediction is compared, as shown in Figure 5 , under the same groundwater conditions, the temperature field is predicted using the proposed method and the traditional C-N finite difference method respectively. The results show that the average prediction error is controlled within ±0.35°C; the calculation time is reduced from 36 minutes (C-N) to 11.8 seconds, with a speed increase of about 183.57 times.
[0080] Thermal recovery analysis under seepage influence, as shown in Figure 6 , the temperature recovery rate after 5 years under different seepage velocities (0, 2.5×10 -7 , 5×10 -7 , 7.5×10 -7 , 10 -6 m / s) is simulated. The results show that:
[0081] The higher the seepage velocity, the faster the cold front moves, and the heat exchange capacity is enhanced in the early stage but the period is shortened; when the seepage velocity is 7.5×10 -7 m / s, the temperature recovery rate increases to 99.13%, higher than 91.23% without seepage.
[0082] Inverse analysis of thermal conductivity parameters, as shown in Figure 7 , based on the trained model, a minimum target function strategy is constructed, the difference between the predicted temperature field and the measured temperature field is input, and the optimal thermal conductivity coefficient interval is obtained by inversion, as shown in the following process:
[0083] Objective function construction:
[0084] ;
[0085] In the formula, For the first The average circulating fluid temperature in the buried pipe calculated by the heat transfer model at any time. o C), The thermal conductivity of the soil and rock is... ) represents the spatial layer number of the prediction model. For the first The average temperature of the fluid in the buried pipe, measured at all times, is approximately the average of the inlet and outlet fluid temperatures. o C), The total number of tests in the experiment. This represents the initial number of tests.
[0086] To make the objective function The minimum value can be obtained through optimal control methods. Here, we define... ,use Evaluation by value The optimal problem. If The closer the value is to 1, the more likely it is that the simplified low-order model of the POD algorithm can be used for field testing, and the initial estimate of the thermal conductivity of the soil and rock is reliable.
[0087] The average fluid temperature is expressed as a linear combination of the modal vector and the spectral coefficients, as shown in the following equation:
[0088] ;
[0089] Substituting the above equation into the objective function, we get:
[0090] ;
[0091] Consider the following optimization control problem:
[0092] ;
[0093] The final predicted optimal thermal conductivity of the soil and rock is:
[0094] W / (m·K);
[0095] The inversion results can be used for formation thermal conductivity estimation, heat exchanger design optimization, and construction guidance.
[0096] The method improves the calculation speed by more than 180 times through dimension reduction and proxy modeling; the prediction error is controlled within a reasonable range under various seepage conditions; the introduction of artificial intelligence technology has nonlinear modeling and inversion capabilities; it is suitable for complex conditions such as multiple formations, multiple properties, multiple time periods, and multiple heat loads; and it can be extended to thermal response modeling of other types of underground heat exchange systems.
