Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building energy system modeling and simulation technology, specifically relating to a method and system for predicting the aggregated response of air conditioning load based on physical information neural networks. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of the construction of a new power system based on new energy sources, higher demands are placed on the refined management of energy utilization. Buildings, as the core units of urban energy consumption, typically account for 20% to 40% of total social energy consumption, with temperature control loads such as air conditioning accounting for a significant portion of building energy consumption. Therefore, accurately modeling and assessing the flexibility potential of the massive temperature control loads within buildings, and treating them as a reliable flexible resource, is of significant strategic importance for achieving building energy conservation and carbon reduction, and supporting the stable operation of the power system.

[0003] Currently, the technical approaches for building load modeling mainly fall into two categories: the first is physical mechanism-based modeling methods. While these methods can accurately reflect the thermodynamic characteristics of buildings, their core relies on time-consuming iterative numerical solvers to solve complex differential equations. The second is purely data-driven modeling methods. Although these methods are computationally fast, due to the lack of inherent physical constraints, their predictions may severely violate thermodynamic laws under unknown operating conditions, leading to insufficient reliability of the assessment results. Furthermore, when assessing aggregate flexibility potential, existing methods typically adopt a conservative worst-case principle, requiring that the state of all rooms must not exceed the constraint boundaries. This approach often results in a significant underestimation of the building's true potential.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN117892478A discloses a data-physics co-driven method for building air conditioning aggregation modeling. It establishes a second-order dynamic spatial thermal model of the building air conditioning load based on the rate of temperature change and heat transfer rate, and then linearizes it to obtain a linearized dynamic spatial thermal model. A preset data-driven algorithm is used to correct the linearized dynamic spatial thermal model. However, this method still has the following shortcomings: the modeling process requires linearization of the building air conditioning thermodynamic model, and its modeling relies on the effectiveness of linear approximation, making it difficult to accurately characterize the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the air conditioning load under changing operating conditions. Furthermore, its data-driven correction process is a statistical compensation performed after the physical model has been linearized. The correction terms are not uniformly incorporated into the physical constraint framework, which can easily lead to predictions that violate thermodynamic mechanisms under unknown operating conditions, resulting in limited physical consistency and generalization ability of the model. In the process of load aggregation and capacity assessment, the method uses the deterministic upper and lower limits of temperature for each room as feasibility criteria, which is a typical worst-case constraint strategy. It is difficult to reflect the statistical distribution characteristics of temperature response in multiple rooms, which can easily lead to an underestimation of the actual aggregation and regulation potential of the building air conditioning system. In the assessment stage, it is still necessary to repeatedly build and solve optimization problems based on the correction model. As the number of rooms increases, the computational complexity and solution time increase significantly, making it difficult to meet the application requirements of large-scale buildings or real-time assessment scenarios.

[0005] In summary, existing modeling schemes struggle to balance computational efficiency, physical realism, and nonlinear representation capabilities. Traditional assessment strategies not only underestimate the flexibility potential of buildings but also suffer from excessively long computation times for large-scale scenarios. This makes it difficult to accurately characterize and reasonably assess building temperature control loads, hindering their effective transformation into usable flexibility resources for the power system. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a multi-room air conditioning load aggregation modeling and response prediction method based on physical information neural networks. This method improves dynamic response prediction through model optimization and refines the assessment of the building's maximum adjustable capacity while ensuring group comfort. Accurately modeling and assessing the flexibility potential of massive temperature control loads within buildings, and treating them as reliable flexibility resources, is of significant strategic importance for achieving building energy conservation and carbon reduction, and supporting the stable operation of the power system. Summary of the Invention

The air conditioner power dynamic response prediction model construction module is used to construct an air conditioner power dynamic response prediction model. The prediction model is coupled with the physical characteristics of the air conditioner dynamic response and uses a neural network to correct the fitting deviation of the air conditioner power. Based on the air conditioner target control command input to each room, the module outputs the air conditioner dynamic power response prediction sequence for each room. The temperature dynamic response prediction model construction module is used to construct a temperature dynamic response prediction model, taking the thermal parameters of each room and the air conditioning dynamic power response prediction sequence as input, to predict the temperature response sequence of each room over time.

[0056] Example 1: like Figure 1 As shown, this invention proposes a method for predicting the aggregated response of air conditioning loads based on a physical information neural network. The proposed method for multi-room air conditioning load aggregation modeling and response prediction based on a physical information neural network mainly considers the following two aspects: First, it constructs a cascaded physical information neural network model, which can quickly and accurately predict the electro-thermal dynamic response of heterogeneous air conditioning loads in multiple rooms; second, based on this network, it establishes an aggregation potential assessment framework, which uses a binary search algorithm and statistical percentile criteria to conduct a refined assessment of the maximum adjustable capacity of a building under comfort constraints.

[0057] The method includes the following steps: Step 1: Collect thermal parameters of each room in the building, and construct a heterogeneous building thermodynamic model by combining the inertial response and dynamic performance characteristics of the air conditioning power. Specifically, a parameterized heterogeneous thermodynamic model is established. To address the differences in thermal characteristics of each room in the building due to factors such as location and structure, a 3R3C (third-order heat capacity and third-order thermal resistance) physical model is established for each room. At the same time, the inertial response and dynamic performance characteristics of the air conditioning power are coupled to accurately describe its unique heat transfer and heat storage characteristics. Furthermore, the heterogeneous building thermodynamic model mentioned in step 1 is specifically as follows: (1) (2) (3) Considering the inertial response and dynamic performance characteristics of air conditioners, the coefficient of performance (COP) of air conditioners is... and air conditioner power Determine as follows: (4) (5) In the formula, i represents the room index; t represents the time index; - These are the regression coefficients of the air conditioning coefficient of performance model; , , These represent the heat capacities of the air, walls, and floor in room i, respectively. , , These represent the temperatures of each node; , These represent the internal heat source and the heat gain from solar radiation, respectively.

[0058] Step 2: Construct a dynamic power response prediction model for air conditioners. The prediction model is coupled with the physical characteristics of the dynamic response of air conditioners and uses a neural network to correct the fitting deviation of the air conditioner power. Based on the target control command of the air conditioner input in each room, the dynamic power response prediction sequence of the air conditioner in each room is output. Specifically, the air conditioner power dynamic response prediction model adopts an architecture combining hard-constrained physical basis functions with neural network correction terms, based on the input control commands.

[0059] Step 3: Construct a temperature dynamic response prediction model, using the thermal parameters of each room and the predicted dynamic power response sequence of the air conditioner as input, to predict the temperature response sequence of each room over time. Specifically, the air conditioning dynamic power response prediction sequence output in step 2 and the room thermal parameters obtained in step 1 are used as inputs. A multimodal feature fusion architecture is used to extract power curve features, and the physical loss residual is fused using the deep neural operator DeepONet for correction, so as to predict the temperature dynamic evolution process of multiple nodes and finally output a temperature response curve that satisfies the thermodynamic laws. Furthermore, the temperature dynamic response prediction model in step 3 adopts a deep neural operator architecture. This architecture includes a branch network bi for extracting power curve and thermal parameter features, and a backbone network ti for extracting time features. These are fused through neural operators for prediction. The specific model is as follows: (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) In the formula, For branch networks; Main backbone network; For neural operators; Output features for the branch network. Indicates the weights of the branch network; The output features of the backbone network Indicates the backbone network weights. The thermal parameter vector for room i includes the heat capacity of air, walls and floor, the thermal resistance between each pair, and the heat gain from heat sources and solar radiation inside the room. For room i within the time interval The predicted air conditioner response power time series; p is the feature dimension; For the predicted temperature vector, which includes the predicted air temperature Predicting wall temperature and predicting floor temperature ; This is the initial steady-state temperature vector, which includes the initial steady-state air temperature. Initial steady-state wall temperature and initial steady-state floor temperature ; Let be the dynamic response operator for the air conditioning power of room i. In this embodiment, to simplify the calculation, it is approximated as a linear form, that is, let Approximately Where m is the feature dimension index and p is the total number of features. , These are the output features of the m-th branch network and the output features of the backbone network, respectively.

The net heat gain term on the right side of the corresponding node heat balance equation defined according to equations (1) to (3) in step 1.

[0060] Step 4: Iteratively solve the maximum aggregate response capacity of the building; in each iteration, the calculated current aggregate response capacity is allocated to each room as the target control command for air conditioning, and the predicted temperature is obtained by calling the dynamic response prediction model of air conditioning power and the dynamic response prediction model of temperature; the aggregate response capacity is updated according to the absolute deviation of the predicted temperature of each room at the end of the evaluation relative to the initial time, until the convergence condition is met, and the maximum aggregate response capacity of the building is obtained.

[0061] Specifically, under given temperature comfort constraints, the maximum aggregate response capacity of the building is sought. In each search iteration, the prediction model constructed in steps 2 and 3 is called to predict the temperature response of all rooms, obtain the temperature deviation distribution, and use the 95th percentile value in statistics as the feasibility criterion for judging whether the current test capacity meets the constraints. Finally, the maximum adjustable aggregate response capacity of the building is determined.

[0062] The iterative solution process for the maximum aggregate response capacity of the building is as follows: Step 4.1: Initialize the upper limit of the aggregate response capacity search interval Lower limit ; Step 4.2: Take the average of the upper and lower limits of the current aggregate response capacity search interval as the current aggregate response capacity for this test; Step 4.3: Allocate the current aggregated response capacity calculated in 4.2 to each room in the building according to the preset allocation rules to obtain the air conditioning adjustment power corresponding to each room; wherein, the preset allocation rules are: determine the allocation weight according to the baseline power of each room, and allocate the current aggregated response capacity proportionally according to the weight ratio of each room, so that each room obtains the corresponding air conditioning target control command (i.e., adjustment power command); and use the air conditioning target control command of each room as input, call the prediction model constructed in steps 2 and 3 respectively to predict the temperature response of all rooms; Step 4.4: Calculate the 95th percentile of the absolute deviation of the predicted temperature of all rooms at the end of the evaluation relative to the initial time. When the percentile is less than or equal to the maximum allowable comfort temperature deviation threshold, the lower limit of the aggregated response capacity for the next iteration is updated to the aggregated response capacity of the current iteration, while the upper limit remains unchanged. When the percentile is greater than the maximum allowable comfort temperature deviation threshold, the upper limit of the aggregated response capacity for the next iteration is updated to the aggregated response capacity of the current iteration, while the lower limit remains unchanged. Step 4.5: Repeat steps 4.2 to 4.4 until the convergence condition is met and the maximum aggregation capacity is determined; wherein, the convergence condition is specifically: the difference between the upper and lower limits of the current aggregation response capacity is less than a preset accuracy threshold, or the preset maximum number of iterations has been reached; when either condition is met, the iteration stops.

[0063] The preset accuracy threshold is determined based on the order of magnitude of the building's aggregated response capacity and the control accuracy requirements, and is used to control the termination error of the iterative solution. For buildings with higher power levels and less stringent accuracy requirements, a relatively larger accuracy threshold can be selected to reduce the number of iterations; for buildings with lower power levels and higher accuracy requirements, a relatively smaller accuracy threshold can be selected to ensure the accuracy of the results.

[0064] The maximum number of iterations is determined based on the convergence speed of the iterative algorithm and computational resource limitations. It is used to prevent the algorithm from failing to terminate due to non-convergence or excessive computation time. The maximum number of iterations should be set to be greater than or equal to the typical number of iterations required to converge the search interval to the accuracy threshold under the most unfavorable operating conditions, to ensure that the algorithm can converge under normal operating conditions.

[0065] Furthermore, in step 4, the aggregation capacity assessment is constructed as an optimization problem aimed at finding the maximum aggregation power while satisfying user comfort constraints. Its core mathematical model includes: (twenty one) (twenty two) (twenty three) (twenty four) (25) (26) (27) In the formula, This represents the current aggregate response capacity of the test in the k-th iteration; and Let be the lower and upper limits of the search interval for the k-th iteration, and let be the initial values ​​of the minimum and maximum power of all air conditioning equipment in the aggregated building, respectively. The power allocation weight for room i is determined based on the room's thermal inertia parameters such as heat capacity and thermal resistance. Rooms with higher thermal inertia correspond to larger allocation weights, while rooms with higher thermal sensitivity correspond to smaller allocation weights. When some rooms reach the upper or lower power limit constraints, their remaining capacity is redistributed according to the weights among the unsaturated rooms. This represents the initial air conditioning target control command (i.e., initial power allocation) for room i during the k-th iteration. This is the final air conditioning target control command (i.e., the final power allocation). These are the base power of room i and the upper limit of the rated power of the air conditioner, respectively. This is a limiting function used to limit the final target power command of the room to the physical operating range of the air conditioner, that is, not lower than 0 and not exceeding the rated power of the air conditioner; Let be the absolute temperature deviation of room i at the end of the evaluation tf relative to the initial time t0; Nr is the total number of rooms in the building; Percentile(·, 95) is the operator that takes the 95th percentile value of all values ​​in the set; The 95th percentile of the absolute deviation of the predicted temperature of all rooms at the end of the assessment from the initial time is a key statistical indicator for measuring the overall comfort level of a building. This is the preset maximum permissible temperature deviation threshold for comfort.

[0066] Based on the heat balance equations of each room, the electro-thermal conversion and dynamic response model of air conditioning, the internal and external environment as input, the indoor temperature comfort and the physical limits of the equipment as constraints, and the maximization of aggregated adjustable capacity as the objective function, a solution strategy combining search algorithm and pre-trained prediction is adopted to achieve high-precision prediction of multi-room temperature and evaluation of the potential for aggregated air conditioning load.

[0067] Example 2: This invention uses a building with 100 heterogeneous offices as a case study. The room types cover the ground floor, middle floors, top floor, as well as corner rooms, end rooms, and interior rooms. Based on these location differences, each room is configured with unique three-node heat capacity and thermal resistance parameters for air, walls, and floor, and corresponding internal heat gain, solar radiation, coefficient of performance (COP), and power response time constant are given. Under the initial conditions of this case study, the building's baseline total power is approximately 263.2 kW, and all rooms are in a steady state.

[0068] In this example system, firstly, according to the method of this invention, a 3R3C thermal equilibrium ordinary differential equation physical model is established for each office in the building, and its equivalent thermal network model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Based on this physical model, the cascaded physical information neural network of this invention is used ( Figure 3 This serves as an efficient numerical solver for differential equations. Subsequently, under set temperature comfort and equipment physical limit constraints, a bisection search algorithm is used to solve for the aggregate adjustable capacity. The entire calculation process is implemented on the Python / PyTorch platform, without relying on external commercial numerical solvers.

[0069] Based on this example, the prediction results of the constructed prediction model are first compared with those of the traditional numerical solution method ODE Solver, and the results are as follows: Figure 4As shown, (a) is a comparison chart of predicted power, (b) is a comparison chart of predicted temperature, (c) is a schematic diagram of the difference in predicted power error between the method of the present invention and the numerical method, and (d) is a schematic diagram of the difference in predicted temperature error between the method of the present invention and the numerical method. The results show that the power prediction error is within 0.02%, and the temperature prediction error is within 3%. Furthermore, the polymerization capacity and operational safety under different maximum permissible comfort temperature deviation thresholds were evaluated, and the detailed results are shown in Table 1 and... Figure 5 Table 1 shows the building's available up / down adjustment capacity, along with the corresponding 95th percentile temperature and maximum temperature rise, under four different temperature constraints ranging from ±0.5°C to ±2.0°C. Figure 5 This visually demonstrates the functional relationship between polymerization capacity and temperature constraint, as well as the convergence trajectory of the binary search algorithm under ±1.0°C constraint. (a) is a schematic diagram of the change in polymerization capacity with temperature constraint, and (b) is the convergence trajectory of the search algorithm under ±1.0°C constraint.
