Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent control technology for urban centralized heating, specifically relating to a heating scheduling method, system, and related devices based on big data of room temperature on the user side. Background Technology
[0002] Existing centralized heating systems mostly adopt a "regional unified control" model, using outdoor temperature as the core basis for formulating heating strategies, ignoring individual differences in users' indoor insulation conditions, heating habits, and daily routines. This leads to two major problems: First, uneven heating among users, with some users experiencing excessively high indoor temperatures, resulting in energy waste, while others experience excessively low indoor temperatures, affecting their living comfort; second, a lack of personalized adaptation in control, with traditional scheduling methods relying on fixed algorithms or manual experience, failing to dynamically respond to the real-time heating needs of different users, resulting in low energy efficiency.
[0003] With the widespread adoption of IoT technology, collecting room temperature data on the user side has become feasible. However, existing smart heating solutions mostly focus on regional load forecasting and peak shaving, failing to delve into individual user heating patterns and lacking precise scheduling technology based on personalized needs. Therefore, developing personalized "on-demand heating" scheduling methods has become a key direction for solving the mismatch between heating supply and demand, improving user comfort, and enhancing energy efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Step 3: Provide heating on demand based on the personalized heating scheduling strategy.
[0006] Preferably, the real-time indoor temperature information on the user side includes hourly indoor temperature, thermostatic valve operation records, and window opening duration; the real-time heating information includes supply water temperature, return water temperature, flow rate, and outdoor meteorological parameters; and the real-time environmental parameters include temperature, humidity, and wind speed.

The reward function includes rewards for achieving room temperature targets, rewards for energy saving, and penalties for excessive consumption.
[0008] Preferably, the objective function of the reinforcement learning scheduling model is: User room temperature compliance rate ≥95%, heating energy consumption per unit area reduced by ≥15%, and total heating cost reduced by ≥10%.
[0009] Preferably, the personalized heating scheduling strategy includes: Heating parameters are dynamically adjusted based on the room temperature deviation and heating habits of individual users. Users within the same heating area are clustered by load, and heat source allocation and pipeline flow scheduling are optimized by group.
[0010] Secondly, the present invention provides a heating scheduling system based on user-side room temperature big data, comprising: The data acquisition unit is used to collect real-time indoor temperature information on the user side, real-time heating information on the heating network side, and real-time environmental data. The scheduling strategy generation unit is used to generate personalized heating scheduling strategies based on a pre-built reinforcement learning scheduling model, combined with real-time indoor temperature information on the user side, real-time heating information on the heating network side, and real-time environmental data. The heating dispatching unit is used to provide heating on demand based on personalized heating dispatching strategies.
[0011] Thirdly, the present invention provides an electronic device including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores computer instructions, and when the computer instructions are executed by the processor, the electronic device performs the method described thereon.
[0012] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computing device cluster, comprising at least one computing device, each computing device including a processor and a memory; The processor of the at least one computing device is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory of the at least one computing device to cause the cluster of computing devices to perform the method according to the method.
[0013] Fifthly, the present invention provides a computer program product, the computer program product including computer-executable instructions, which, when executed, implement the method described.
[0014] In a sixth aspect, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the method described herein.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention provides a heating scheduling method based on user-side room temperature big data. By integrating user-side room temperature big data with reinforcement learning algorithms, it achieves a paradigm shift in the heating system from "extensive and uniform" to "precise and personalized," creating comprehensive benefits significantly superior to traditional methods. Specifically, in terms of user comfort, this method can dynamically sense and respond to each user's real-time room temperature deviation and personalized heating habits. For example, it automatically identifies the different needs of working people and elderly users and generates customized strategies, thereby significantly increasing the room temperature compliance rate from 78% in the traditional model to over 97%, fundamentally solving the systemic problem of uneven heating and cooling, and greatly improving the comfort of users' living and working environments. In terms of energy and economic efficiency, this method, through the "multi-objective comprehensive reward" mechanism of the reinforcement learning model, guides the system to continuously optimize heat source output, pipeline distribution, and terminal control under the core premise of ensuring comfort. This achieves the dual goals of reducing heating energy consumption per unit area by 15%-20% and reducing total heating costs by 10%-15%, effectively reducing energy waste caused by overheating or supply-demand mismatch.
[0016] Meanwhile, the regional coordinated control mechanism in the formulated heating strategy further optimizes the regional energy distribution efficiency by intelligently clustering user loads, achieving "one policy per household," avoiding local imbalances, and forming an optimal solution that balances individual comfort and overall energy efficiency, providing a reliable technical path for the construction and operation of smart heating systems.

[0031] This is intended to achieve both energy-saving and economic benefits while ensuring user comfort.
[0032] Example 6 This embodiment provides a heating scheduling method based on user-side room temperature big data, which includes the following steps: Data collection deployment: In a residential community, one high-precision temperature sensor (measurement accuracy ±0.2℃) and one smart temperature control valve (adjustment response time 25 seconds) are installed in each of 1,000 households. Three outdoor meteorological monitoring stations are set up in the community to simultaneously collect hourly indoor temperature, temperature control valve operation records, outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed and pipeline operation data. The data collection frequency is once every 5 minutes and the data is transmitted to the edge computing node via 5G network.
[0033] Model Training: Based on the historical data of the cell over the past 90 days, the state space, action space, and reward function of the reinforcement learning scheduling model are initialized, where: The status space includes the deviation between the actual indoor temperature and the set temperature on the user side, outdoor environmental parameters, pipeline operation parameters, energy consumption data, and heating cost data; The operating range includes the set heat source output power adjustment range of 50%-100%, the intelligent temperature control valve opening degree of 1%, and the flow distribution ratio of the pipeline branch.

[0035] Scheduling strategy generation: The constructed reinforcement learning scheduling model is continuously trained iteratively to uncover the heating patterns of different users. For example, for working users, a scheduling strategy is generated that "the room temperature is maintained at 18℃ from 8:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, and rises to 22℃ from 18:00 to 23:00"; for elderly users, a stable heating strategy is generated that "the room temperature is maintained at 21-22℃ throughout the day"; and for users in the same heating area, load clustering is performed, and scheduling strategies for optimizing heat source allocation and pipeline flow scheduling are optimized by group.

[0038] Data collection: Temperature sensors and smart temperature control valves were deployed in 80 offices across 20 floors of the office building to collect additional personnel density data for each office (through the access control system). The data collection frequency was once every 3 minutes.
[0039] Regional coordinated regulation: The reinforcement learning scheduling model clusters 80 offices into 3 groups based on orientation and personnel density. Offices facing south with good lighting and high personnel density belong to group A, offices facing north belong to group B, and temporary spaces such as meeting rooms belong to group C.
[0040] Personalized strategies: For Group A, a strategy of "room temperature 23℃ from 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, 17℃ at other times" was generated; for Group B, a strategy of "room temperature 24℃ from 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, 18℃ at other times" was generated; and for Group C, a strategy of "start and stop as needed, preheat to 22℃ 1 hour before use" was generated.
[0041] Implementation results: After two months of operation, the office building's room temperature compliance rate reached 96%, the heating energy consumption per unit area decreased by 20%, and the heating cost was reduced by 15% compared to the traditional unified control model. It effectively solved the problems of uneven heating in different areas and ineffective heating in empty rooms.
