Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) control technology, and in particular to a control method and system for a combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) systems have become one of the key infrastructures for building clean and efficient integrated energy systems, and are widely deployed in energy-consuming scenarios sensitive to fluctuations in heating and cooling loads, such as hospital campuses, data centers, commercial complexes, and industrial plants. Its core lies in achieving efficient coupling and conversion between electrical energy, heat energy (hot water), and cold energy (absorption refrigeration) through combined heat and power equipment such as gas-fired internal combustion engines or gas turbines, thereby maximizing the utilization rate of primary energy.
[0003] However, there are still many technical problems in the existing control strategies, mainly reflected in the following aspects: (1) The dynamic prediction capability of cold and heat load is weak and the energy flow configuration delay is serious. Most current CCHP systems use static load prediction based on time series or preset operating curves as the basis for load scheduling, which is difficult to adapt to the sudden change characteristics of cold and heat load under unstable operating scenarios. (2) The thermoelectric coupling regulation mechanism is crude and the regulating valve response lacks feedback adaptability. In traditional CCHP systems, the regulation between the hot water storage tank and the heating circuit usually relies on fixed opening degree or proportional integral (PI) control strategy to set threshold to adjust the opening degree of hot water valve. It fails to introduce feedback parameters such as heat storage state, inertial response and heat load lag. Especially under the condition of system response lag or frequent pump start and stop, there are problems such as unstable heating and low return water temperature, which reduces heat recovery efficiency. (3) There is a lack of a coordinated scheduling and recycling mechanism for heat storage units. Existing control systems generally treat the heat storage unit as a passive buffer and do not build a dynamic scheduling mechanism with the return water temperature difference as the feedback quantity. Especially during partial load operation (such as low load at night), the output of the heat storage unit cannot be effectively controlled, resulting in an imbalance in its energy storage strategy, and the return water temperature difference deviates from the set target, affecting the efficiency of the heat exchanger and the stability of downstream energy consumption.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a control method that can still achieve multi-dimensional load forecasting, energy flow optimization scheduling, and precise control of hot water recovery under the conditions of alternating fluctuations in heating and cooling loads and dynamic changes in energy storage status, so as to improve the adaptive operation capability and overall energy utilization efficiency of the heating, cooling and power system. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Example 1: As Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of the first embodiment of the control method for the combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system of the present invention, which presents the first embodiment of the control method for the CCHP system of the present invention.
[0029] In the first embodiment, the control method of the combined cooling, heating and power system includes: Step S10: Obtain the real-time operating parameters of the combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system, including power supply. Waste heat temperature Cooling output Heat output Cooling load demand Heat load demand Cold energy storage state and thermal energy storage state ; Understandably, the real-time operating parameters acquired in this step constitute the basic input information for the state identification and predictive control of the combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system. Continuous monitoring of these parameters allows for the establishment of relationships between various energy flow paths within the system, and the identification of energy efficiency bottlenecks or non-cooperative operating phenomena, providing a precise basis for subsequent control logic decisions.
[0030] It should be understood that, compared with the traditional method of coarse scheduling based solely on a single indicator of cooling or heating load, this embodiment introduces multi-dimensional real-time operating parameters in step S10, especially integrating factors such as power output, actual cooling and heating load demand, and energy storage status, which can accurately reflect the supply and demand matching status and the dynamic characteristics of coupled energy.
[0031] Step S20: Based on real-time operating parameters, a multi-window forecasting mechanism based on cold-heat coupling sensitivity is used to perform load demand forecasting, and the predicted cooling load demand value at future time t is output. Heat load demand forecast , Load Priority Weight With secondary weight of heat load ; It should be noted that "cold-heat coupling sensitivity" refers to the degree of dynamic correlation between the changing trends of cold and heat loads. Specifically, it manifests as the impact of cold load changes on heat load changes within a certain time window, as well as the reverse constraint relationship between heat load and cold load scheduling strategies. The multi-window forecasting mechanism refers to constructing a forecasting model based on historical operating data at multiple different time scales (such as short-term minute-level, medium-term hour-level, and intraday cycle-level) to capture the evolution trends of cold and heat loads in different time domains, and dynamically adjusting the forecast weights and offset windows in conjunction with cold-heat coupling sensitivity.
[0032] Understandably, this step, by integrating the coupling characteristics of cooling and heating loads, enables a more accurate prediction of future energy demand trends. Compared to traditional prediction methods that treat cooling and heating loads as independent variables, the prediction mechanism of this invention fully considers the interconnected changes between the two. For example, in some scenarios, the air conditioning cooling process may trigger the heat recovery system to generate additional heat, thereby affecting the accuracy of heating load prediction. This mechanism, by introducing cooling-heat coupling sensitivity, effectively improves the synergy and responsiveness of cooling and heating load prediction.
[0033] It should be understood that, compared to traditional single-window forecasting methods or mechanisms with fixed model parameters, the multi-window forecasting mechanism adopted in this step can dynamically select the optimal window combination, adaptively switch between short-term and medium-to-long-term forecasting strategies under different load fluctuation modes, and adjust weights based on real-time cooling and heating load coupling relationships, making the forecast results more closely match actual operational needs. Furthermore, by outputting "load priority weights" and "heat load secondary weights," differentiated response control can be achieved under resource-constrained conditions, ensuring priority energy supply to core loads and improving supply-demand matching capabilities.
[0034] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a multi-window forecasting mechanism based on the sensitivity of cold and heat coupling was used to generate forecast curves for the cooling and heating loads for the next 24 hours. Simultaneously, corresponding load priority weight and heating load secondary weight curves were output. It can be observed that during the nighttime low-peak period of 0-8 hours, the fluctuation range of cooling and heating loads is small, with the cooling load priority weight close to 0.5, indicating a balanced response. As daytime load demand increases, the cooling load shows an upward trend, with the priority weight gradually rising to above 0.75, while the heating load secondary weight decreases accordingly. The forecast results can dynamically capture the co-evolution characteristics of cooling and heating loads, and the forecast curve closely follows the actual curve, indicating that the mechanism has high forecasting accuracy. Furthermore, the dynamic change in load priority weights can reflect the energy supply tendency under conditions of cooling and heating load conflict or resource scarcity, which is helpful for implementing differentiated control strategies in subsequent steps.
[0035] Step S30: Based on the predicted cooling load demand Heat load demand forecast , Load Priority Weight With secondary weight of heat load The power flow optimization scheduling task is performed using an MPC predictive control algorithm based on cross-energy deviation penalty, and the output power load rate is determined. Absorption refrigeration power With power of electric refrigeration unit ; It should be noted that the "MPC predictive control algorithm with cross-energy deviation penalty" in this step refers to introducing a cross-coupling error term between cold and hot energy flows as a component of the control cost function within the Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework, and applying a directional penalty to the adjustment response deviation of the cold and hot loads. Specifically, the priority weight of the cold load dominates the minimization of the cold load energy supply deviation, while the secondary weight of the hot load is used to adjust the amount of heat energy recovered from absorption refrigeration, thereby achieving overall coordination and minimum deviation operation of the three energy flow paths (cold, electricity, and heat).
[0036] Understandably, this control strategy not only considers the matching degree between the predicted values of cooling and heating loads and their capacity, but also explicitly introduces a cooling load priority energy supply mechanism. Through weighted regulation, it adjusts the allocation ratio of various loads when power resources are limited or operating strategies are adjusted. During energy flow optimization, scheduling decisions are made among absorption chiller units, electric chiller units, and grid-connected units. The goal is to minimize energy flow deviations, avoid cooling-heating conflicts and energy waste, and improve overall efficiency while ensuring accurate cooling load supply.
[0037] For example, such as Figure 4The figure illustrates the intraday scheduling changes of the three energy flow modes (power supply load rate, absorption cooling, and electric cooling) in step S30. Darker colors indicate higher power output at that time. The figure shows that energy demand is concentrated during the morning peak (8-10 AM) and evening peak (5-8 PM), with all three energy flow paths showing increases. The power supply load rate and electric cooling power reach their peaks during the peak cooling load period. Absorption cooling power responds synchronously within the rising heat load range, reflecting a scheduling strategy of cross-coupling between cooling and heating. By dynamically adjusting the power output of the three paths in different time periods, energy coordination and efficiency improvement are achieved.
[0038] Step S40: Based on power supply load rate Absorption refrigeration power With power of electric refrigeration unit The dynamic hot water recovery control task is performed using a heat threshold compression regulation mechanism, and a hot water recovery reference threshold is output. ; It should be noted that the "heat threshold compression control mechanism" in this step refers to dynamically adjusting the reference threshold for hot water recovery by analyzing the energy conversion efficiency and heat redundancy exhibited by each energy flow path (power supply, absorption refrigeration, and electric refrigeration) at different time periods. This mechanism constructs a heat load pressure index curve based on multi-source power data, and sets a dynamic compression range on this basis. When the heat load fluctuates drastically or the energy efficiency is lower than the preset level, the hot water recovery trigger threshold is automatically tightened; conversely, it is appropriately relaxed, achieving dual protection for energy recovery efficiency and stability.
[0039] Understandably, the core of this mechanism lies in upgrading "hot water recovery control" from a passive response mode to a predictive proactive control mechanism. That is, instead of waiting until there is severe heat redundancy to initiate recovery, it activates the hot water recovery module in advance by narrowing the heat threshold trigger range when indicators such as power load rate and absorption cooling power are detected to be at a critical increase or in a high-energy-consumption operating state. In this way, not only is the efficiency reduction caused by heat accumulation avoided, but also precise timing matching of the building's hot water load is achieved.
[0040] Step S50: Based on the hot water recovery reference threshold It performs closed-loop feedback control tasks and outputs instructions on the opening degree of the hot water return regulating valve.
[0041] It should be noted that in step S50, the reference threshold for hot water recovery is used. The steps for executing a closed-loop feedback control task and outputting the opening command of the hot return water regulating valve specifically include: Step S501: Based on absorption cooling power With power of electric refrigeration unit The calculated value of the current thermal potential is obtained directly by using an explicit solution method based on the conservation of heat and work. And calculate the value based on the current thermal potential. Reference threshold for hot water recovery Constructing temperature difference error term , ; Step S502: Based on the temperature difference error term The valve opening controller function is constructed using a two-layer regulation mechanism combining a proportional-integral controller and a nonlinear gain regulator. Regulating valve opening controller function ; Control valve opening function The formula is expressed as:
[0042]
[0043] in, This is the normalization function; This is the unnormalized original control valve opening controller function after processing by a proportional-integral controller and a nonlinear gain regulator. The exponential activation function used for the nonlinear gain regulator; This refers to the nonlinear activation offset term of the nonlinear gain regulator. The slope factor of the nonlinear gain regulator; This refers to the gain coefficient of the proportional controller; The gain coefficient of the integral controller; For any time The corresponding temperature difference error term; Step S503: When the regulating valve opening controller function When the output is 0, the output hot return water regulating valve opening command is "hot return water regulating valve closing command"; When the regulating valve opening controller function When the output is 1, the output hot return water regulating valve opening command is "hot return water regulating valve fully open command"; when At this time, the output hot return water regulating valve opening command is the "hot return water regulating valve proportional opening command"; the "hot return water regulating valve proportional opening command" is used to instruct the valve controller to interact with the regulating valve opening controller function. Adjust the valve angle according to the corresponding ratio.
[0044] Understandably, the "closed-loop feedback control task" in this step is not only based on a static comparison of the hot water recovery reference threshold, but also incorporates the real-time thermal potential calculation value under the current state. By constructing a "temperature difference error term" as the controller input variable, the adjustment process achieves continuity, real-time performance, and error adaptability. Simultaneously, the controller employs a two-layer control structure, combining the steady-state error suppression capability of a traditional proportional-integral (PI) controller with the rapid response capability of a nonlinear gain regulator to sharp load fluctuations, thereby achieving dynamic control of the valve opening.
[0045] It should be understood that traditional hot water recovery strategies often employ a fixed threshold control mode, neglecting the real-time interaction between the heating and cooling systems. This can easily lead to problems such as "valve dead zone," "over-adjustment lag," or "inability to adjust sensitively" during switching, load fluctuations, or energy efficiency optimization scenarios. The dual-layer control structure and temperature difference-driven mechanism introduced in this invention not only enhance adjustment sensitivity but also improve the synergy between the hot water return path and the heating and cooling systems. This represents a highly efficient thermal energy regulation and control strategy for heating and cooling coupling scenarios. For example, in a commercial building's combined cooling and heating system, a surge in air conditioning cooling load one afternoon leads to a significant increase in the output heat energy of the absorption chiller. However, since the building's hot water demand is low, if the hot water return path is not adjusted in time, the heat energy will accumulate, resulting in energy waste. Through the control mechanism in this step, the increase in absorption chiller power is monitored in real time, and the current heat potential is calculated to be significantly higher, while the hot water recovery reference threshold is relatively low. At this time, a temperature difference error term is formed, triggering the proportional-integral controller to quickly generate a response command. After correction by the nonlinear regulator, a control command of "partial opening of the hot water return regulating valve at 73%" is output. The command acts directly on the valve drive unit, quickly opening the return water path so that heat energy can be partially recovered for subsequent bathing, heating and other uses, avoiding heat accumulation that could cause high temperature alarms, and also improving the dynamic energy efficiency of the entire energy system.
