Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy-saving and carbon-reduction technology for central air conditioning systems, and more specifically, to an application and implementation method of low-carbon optimization technology based on user-side temperature control load demand response. Background Technology

[0002] The widespread use of air conditioning, especially central air conditioning systems, has significantly increased building energy consumption. Statistics show that in residential buildings, central air conditioning systems typically account for 40-60% of total energy consumption. Within these systems, the equipment in the computer room accounts for approximately 70% of the overall system energy consumption. Therefore, energy conservation in central air conditioning systems hinges on the computer room portion.

[0003] Traditional methods for developing energy-saving and carbon-reduction strategies for central air conditioning equipment rooms mainly fall into two categories. The first is replacing existing equipment, such as replacing the original air conditioning unit with a more energy-efficient magnetic levitation unit. This method is relatively simple and effective, but it involves large investments, difficult construction, low cost-effectiveness, and is even limited by the building's inherent conditions, making it impossible to implement. The second method involves fuzzy logic control through changes in equipment operating parameters, such as variable frequency drives for chilled water pumps and cooling water pumps. While these control measures do reduce the energy consumption of individual devices, they also alter some of the equipment's operating parameters. These changes often increase the burden on the entire system, leading to increased overall energy consumption and ultimately resulting in the failure of energy-saving efforts.

[0029] Specifically, since many factors influence the energy consumption of building central air conditioning systems, especially under the premise of ensuring that the building's terminal units meet usage requirements, controlling and regulating the entire central air conditioning system necessitates a scientific analysis of each aspect, including the system's cooling demand, building heat transfer, chilled water supply, and cooling water supply, in order to ultimately formulate a comprehensive energy-saving operation strategy. Therefore, energy conservation in central air conditioning systems must be based on HVAC mechanism models, controlling and adjusting each aspect of the entire system to truly achieve energy savings. To regulate and control the carbon emissions of the entire central air conditioning system, this invention introduces a mechanism model for regulating and controlling the cooling capacity and energy consumption of the central air conditioning system. This mechanism model accurately predicts the cooling demand of the building under different environmental conditions, thereby calculating the energy consumption of the central air conditioning system and the corresponding regulation and control methods, thus achieving energy-saving operation of the central air conditioning system.

[0030] The key feature of this invention lies in calculating the cooling capacity and energy consumption of a building's central air conditioning system using a mechanistic model, thereby obtaining the required cooling capacity of the building under different environments. Through mechanistic analysis of the cooling capacity of the central air conditioning unit, the energy consumption of the entire air conditioning room under different operating parameters is analyzed and listed for the same cooling capacity, thus identifying the operating parameters with the lowest energy consumption and lowest carbon emissions, achieving the goal of maximum energy efficiency and low carbon emissions for the entire air conditioning room.

[0040] II. Determine the power of the air conditioning system based on the predicted cooling capacity. 1. Based on the predicted cooling load, establish energy consumption models for the chiller, chilled water pumps, cooling water pumps, and cooling tower. With the goal of minimizing the sum of energy consumption of the chiller, chilled water pumps, cooling water pumps, and cooling tower, establish energy consumption mechanism models for each operating device and constraints based on underlying operational safety logic. The expression for the energy minimization optimization objective is as follows: P min =P chiller + P c.pump + P j.pump + P c.tower For formula (17) 2. Constraints A central air conditioning system is a complex system composed of multiple devices with strong coupling. The total energy consumption of the system equals the sum of the energy consumption of each individual device. Changes in the parameters of different devices will lead to changes in the total energy consumption of the central air conditioning system. Furthermore, the parameters of different devices have their corresponding operating ranges. Optimization requires considering various constraints based on the characteristics of different devices. In addition, different devices have interrelationships during operation. Therefore, model constraints are typically divided into physical constraints and constraints related to device operational safety. Constraints are set according to the actual situation as follows: (1) Constraint 1: Constraints on chilled water inlet and outlet temperatures The cooling performance and terminal temperature requirements of a central air conditioning system are directly affected by the inlet and outlet temperatures of the chilled water. If the temperature is too low, it can lead to energy waste and the risk of pipe icing and blockage; if the chilled water temperature is too high, it cannot provide sufficient cooling capacity to the room, resulting in the terminal temperature failing to meet comfort requirements. Therefore, the following constraints are set: 7℃≤T1≤12℃ 8℃≤T2≤15℃ (4) Constraint 2: Constraint on cooling water inlet temperature Based on the operating characteristics of the chiller unit and the cooling load requirements, upper and lower limits need to be set for the chilled water inlet temperature to ensure the normal operation of the system. Therefore, the constraints are set as follows: 18℃≤T k ≤37℃ (5) Constraint 3: Constraint on the operating frequency of chilled water pumps and cooling water pumps The operating frequency of the chilled water pump is affected by the end-user usage and piping design, and must meet the water circulation requirements of the most unfavorable loop; the operating frequency of the cooling water pump must meet the cooling requirements of the air conditioning unit, and must be within the range of variable speed control to ensure normal system operation. Therefore, the following constraints are set: 30H=≤f c.pump ≤50Hz 35H=≤f j.pump ≤50Hz (6) Constraint 4: Constraint on the number of operating devices To ensure the normal operation of the central air conditioning system, upper and lower limits need to be set for the number of devices in operation. Therefore, the constraints are set as follows: 1≤N chiller ≤n 1≤N c.pump ≤n 1≤N j.pump ≤n 1≤N c.tower ≤n n represents the actual number of devices configured in the project.

[0041] III. Establish a database of energy-saving and carbon-reduction strategies 1. Calculate the host power Based on the above predictions of the required cooling capacity at future times, and the constraints of the equipment, the power Pcoller of the main unit under different cooling capacities is calculated according to the pressure-enthalpy diagram of the air conditioning unit's cooling operation. The calculation mechanism model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0042] Q2=h1-h4 is formula (18) P coller =h2-h1 is the formula (19). h represents the enthalpy value in the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioning unit. The value can be found in the table; the unit is kJ / kg. 2. Calculate the power of the water pump. The power of the water pump can be calculated based on its operating frequency in Hertz, using the following formula: cump = 3 For formula (20) f is the operating frequency of the water pump, in Hertz; k is the power coefficient of the water pump, which is generally taken as 0.8~1.2.

[0043] 3. Calculate the cooling tower power. The number of operating cooling towers n is based on T k The minimum value is used to determine the cooling tower power, and the formula for calculating the cooling tower power is as follows: P c.tower =n*P is the formula (21). n represents the number of cooling towers in operation; P represents the rated power of the cooling tower fans (unit: kW); a strategy is formulated to minimize the operating power of the air conditioning system in the rear air conditioning room, generating different combinations of operating parameters to guide the operation of the air conditioning system equipment. The strategy generation table is shown in Table 3 below: Table 3

[0044] Since the number of operating devices and the combination of operating parameters can vary under the same energy consumption, the system can automatically select any operating strategy that meets the conditions based on the strategy library to ensure the lowest operating energy consumption and the least carbon emissions.

[0045] This invention provides a method for applying and implementing a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) mechanism model in the energy-saving and carbon-reduction control process of a central air conditioning system.

Figure 3 The specific implementation method of the HVAC mechanism model shown in the energy-saving and carbon-reduction control process of the central air conditioning equipment room system is as follows: Using the above HVAC mechanism model formulas (1) to (16), the cooling capacity of the entire building is accurately predicted based on the outdoor and indoor temperatures. Based on the predicted cooling capacity, Pmin is obtained at a certain outdoor and indoor temperature using the HVAC mechanism model formulas (17) to (21). Based on Pmin, the number of devices and parameters of all devices in Table 2 are listed and sent to each device for execution. The specific execution process is as follows: The edge computer 15 sends the number of devices and parameters of the devices in Table 3 to the specific devices in the computer room through the control module 14. Among them, the air conditioning host 1 receives the chilled water supply temperature setpoint and the number of devices in operation from the chilled water supply and return temperature sensor 7; the chilled water pump inverter 12 receives the frequency setpoint and the number of devices in operation from the chilled water pump 2; the cooling water pump inverter 13 receives the frequency setpoint and the number of devices in operation from the cooling water pump 3; and the cooling tower 4 receives the frequency setpoint and the number of devices in operation from the cooling tower fan. During the operation, the data acquisition module 16 continuously transmits the collected data back to the edge computer 15. The edge computer 15 compares the real-time collected data with the sent data and continuously corrects the parameters to ensure that Pmin is reached.

[0047] This invention establishes a mechanistic model for predicting the cooling capacity and equipment energy consumption of user-side building central air conditioning systems. Based on fundamental HVAC theory and logic, and combined with practical applications, this model was derived through extensive project testing and data verification. It possesses unique innovation and represents a breakthrough in traditional central air conditioning energy-saving and carbon-reduction control methods. It provides a completely new control approach for energy-saving and carbon-reduction measures in central air conditioning systems, and may even have a positive and far-reaching impact on energy saving and carbon reduction across the entire HVAC industry.

[0048] This approach overcomes the shortcomings of traditional central air conditioning systems, which only target energy-saving retrofits for individual devices and cannot formulate precise energy-saving strategies for specific projects. By introducing HVAC mechanism models and conducting simulation calculations, the energy consumption of each central air conditioning system can be accurately predicted, and a project-specific energy-saving and low-carbon strategy can be customized. This makes the central air conditioning system operate more efficiently, achieving maximum energy saving, consumption reduction, and low carbon emissions.
