Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent temperature control technology for air handling units, and in particular to a method for constructing an adaptive backstepping control for air handling units. Background Technology

[0002] Air handling units (AHUs) in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are typically designed for advanced building infrastructure to maintain a consistent and comfortable ambient temperature. However, given the increasing emphasis on energy conservation, effective control strategies for AHUs in HVAC systems are crucial, as these devices account for approximately 50% of a building's electrical energy consumption during operation. Various AHU control strategies have been developed in recent decades, relying on integer-order mathematical models to improve building temperature regulation and energy efficiency. Among the various temperature control methods for AHUs, proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control is the most commonly used due to its simple algorithm and ease of implementation, simplifying its practical application.

[0003] However, the nonlinear and time-varying behavior observed in air conditioning temperature modes can affect PID control. Incorrect PID parameter configuration can lead to significant overshoot problems, errors in maintaining steady state, and longer settling times, which in turn result in reduced energy efficiency and increased operating costs.

[0004] Accurate mathematical models of AHU systems based on building thermodynamics are crucial for the development of efficient control systems. Existing technologies use integer-order representations to create dynamic models of AHUs in HVAC systems. However, when constructing AHU models using integer nonlinear methods, a trade-off must be struck between accurately representing system complexity and maintaining model simplicity. Otherwise, complex control designs based on real-world, complex integer-order AHU models may generate significant computational demands and energy consumption.

[0005] Fractional dynamics in existing technologies, due to their inherent memory effect, can more concisely represent complex real-world models, including those related to heat transfer. Furthermore, since nonlinear fractional models require fewer parameters than integer-order models, using nonlinear fractional models to effectively and accurately characterize the thermal dynamics of air handling units (AHUs) within buildings is a natural tendency. However, current research on fractional AHUs primarily focuses on modeling, with insufficient development of temperature control strategies utilizing accurate and concise fractional AHU models. Consequently, when unpredictable temperature gradients occur within the cooling components of the AHU system, existing solutions cannot respond quickly or adjust strategies accordingly, failing to meet design requirements in terms of both transient and steady-state performance, thus leading to reduced energy management efficiency in building management.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are that it designs a sampled data-based controller for fractional-order non-homogeneous AHUs systems using adaptive fuzzy back-calculation technology. This ensures that even with uncertainties and external disturbances, the resulting closed-loop system remains stable, and all signals are bounded. It can track the reference indoor temperature very well. To avoid violating The occurrence of the specified output performance effectively improves the transient and steady-state performance of the system constructed by the method described in this invention, while also effectively improving the energy management efficiency in building management.

[0018] Furthermore, by setting up a sampling data-based control method for non-homogeneous fractional-order uncertain AHU systems, this invention can ensure that, under predefined output performance and various system uncertainties and external unknown factors, rigorous theoretical analysis is performed based on actual fractional-order systems to improve indoor temperature management. This further enhances the transient and steady-state performance of the system constructed by the method described in this invention, while also improving the energy management efficiency in building management.

[0019] Furthermore, compared to existing technologies that adjust the temperature in an integer AHU system based solely on an unknown humidity level, the method of this invention considers multiple real-world variables, including time-varying unknown heat loads, fluctuating humidity parameters, outdoor temperature changes, and humidity changes in the external air environment. By combining fuzzy logic systems to approximate these parameters, the method further improves the transient and steady-state performance of the system constructed using the method of this invention, while also enhancing the efficiency of energy management in building management.

[0020] Meanwhile, the method described in this invention estimates system uncertainties and external factors by designing an adaptive law, which can effectively offset the influence of uncertain control coefficients in the model caused by unpredictable temperature gradients in the cooling components of the AHU system on the controller design process. This further improves the transient and steady-state performance of the system constructed by the method described in this invention, while also improving the energy management efficiency in building management.

[0021] Furthermore, compared to the existing backstepping-based sampling data control schemes that only apply to homogeneous nonlinear fractional systems, the scheme of this invention introduces an adaptive backstepping sampling data control method for nonlinear uncertain nonhomogeneous fractional AHU systems to provide accurate model descriptions. A detailed theoretical analysis is conducted, carefully considering the unique characteristics of fractional calculus. This further improves the transient and steady-state performance of the system constructed using the method of this invention, while also enhancing the energy management efficiency in building management.

[0022] Furthermore, the solution described in this invention, based on the combination of an adaptive fuzzy backstepping fractional-order control scheme based on sampled data and a specified performance limit technique, strictly limits the transient and steady-state performance of the tracking error of the non-homogeneous fractional-order system output to predefined limits. This further improves the transient and steady-state performance of the system constructed by the method described in this invention, while also further improving the energy management efficiency in building management.

[0023] Furthermore, compared to existing technologies that analyze based on the transformed integer-order system, the method of this invention performs rigorous theoretical analysis based on the original fractional-order system. This allows for further constraints on the transient and steady-state properties of the tracking error of the non-homogeneous fractional-order system output. Consequently, while further improving the transient and steady-state properties of the system constructed using the method of this invention, it also further enhances the energy management efficiency in building management.
