AI Technical Summary
In existing centralized heating systems, physical heat meters are costly to install, difficult to maintain, and have low metering accuracy. Furthermore, indirect metering methods cannot adapt to the heating behavior of different end units, resulting in large metering errors, poor fairness, and an inability to achieve precise heating control.
By collecting multi-source data and constructing a multi-dimensional feature set, the real-time heat consumption of the terminal unit is predicted using a heat consumption prediction model. Combined with the heat consumption behavior coefficient, virtual heat metering is achieved, and the heating valves are automatically adjusted according to the prediction results to dynamically adjust the heating flow rate.
It reduces hardware and maintenance costs, improves metering accuracy and fairness, achieves precision heating, reduces energy waste, and enhances user comfort.
