建筑物管理系统和HVAC系统
现在参照图1至图4,根据示例性实施例,示出了可以在其中实施本披露的系统和方法的示例性建筑物管理系统(BMS)和HVAC系统。具体参照图1,示出了建筑物10的透视图。建筑物10由BMS服务。BMS通常是被配置用于对建筑物或建筑物区域之中或周围的设备进行控制、监测和管理的装置系统。例如,BMS可以包括HVAC系统、安全系统、照明系统,火情报警系统、能够管理建筑物功能或设备的任何其他系统或其任何组合。
服务于建筑物10的BMS包括HVAC系统100。HVAC系统100可以包括被配置用于为建筑物10提供加热、冷却、通风或其他服务的多个HVAC设备(例如,加热器、冷却器、空气处理单元、泵、风扇、热能存储设备等)。例如,HVAC系统100被示出为包括水侧系统120和空气侧系统130。水侧系统120可以向空气侧系统130的空气处理单元提供加热的或冷却的液体。空气侧系统130可以使用加热的或冷却的液体来加热或冷却提供给建筑物10的气流。参照图2和图3更加详细地描述了可以在HVAC系统100中使用的示例性水侧系统和空气侧系统。
HVAC系统100被示出为包括冷却器102、锅炉104和屋顶空气处理单元(AHU)106。水侧系统120可以使用锅炉104和冷却器102来加热或冷却工作液体(例如,水、乙二醇等)并且可以使所述工作液体循环至AHU 106。在各实施例中,水侧系统120的HVAC设备可以位于建筑物10内或周围(如图1中所示出的)或位于非现场位置(如中央设施,例如冷却器设施、蒸汽设施、热力设施等)。可以在锅炉104中加热或在冷却器102中冷却工作液体,这取决于建筑物10中是需要加热还是冷却。锅炉104可以例如通过燃烧易燃材料(例如,天然气)或使用电加热元件来向循环的液体添加热量。冷却器102可以使循环的液体与热交换器(例如,蒸发器)中的另一种液体(例如,制冷剂)处于热交换关系以从循环的液体中吸收热量。可以经由管路108将来自冷却器102和/或锅炉104的工作液体输送到AHU 106。
AHU 106可以使工作液体与穿过AHU 106的气流处于热交换关系(例如,经由一级或多级冷却盘管和/或加热盘管)。气流可以是例如室外空气、来自建筑物10内的回流空气或两者的组合。AHU 106可以在气流与工作液体之间传递热量,从而为气流提供加热或冷却。例如,AHU 106可以包括被配置用于使气流通过或穿过包含工作液体的热交换器的一个或多个风扇或鼓风机。工作液体然后可以经由管路110返回至冷却器102或锅炉104。
空气侧系统130可以经由空气供应管道112将由AHU 106供应的气流(即,供应气流)递送至建筑物10并且可以经由空气回流管道114向AHU 106提供来自建筑物10的回流空气。在一些实施例中,空气侧系统130包括多个变风量(VAV)单元116。例如,空气侧系统130被示出为包括建筑物10的每一个楼层或区域上的独立VAV单元116。VAV单元116可以包括气闸或可以被操作以控制提供给建筑物10的单独区域的供应气流量的其他流量控制元件。在其他实施例中,空气侧系统130将供应气流递送至建筑物10的一个或多个区域中(例如,经由供应管道112),而不使用中间VAV单元116或其他流量控制元件。AHU 106可以包括被配置用于测量供应气流的属性的各种传感器(例如,温度传感器、压力传感器等)。AHU 106可以从位于AHU 106内和/或建筑物区域内的传感器接收输入并且可以调节穿过AHU 106的供应气流的流速、温度或其他属性以实现建筑物区域的设定值条件。
现在参照图2,根据示例性实施例,示出了水侧系统200的框图。在各种实施例中,水侧系统200可以在HVAC系统100中补充或替代水侧系统120,或者可以与HVAC系统100分开来实施。当在HVAC系统100中实施时,水侧系统200可以包括HVAC系统100中HVAC设备的子集(例如,锅炉104、冷却器102、泵、阀等)并且可以操作用于向AHU 106提供加热的或冷却的液体。水侧系统200的HVAC设备可以位于建筑物10内(例如,作为水侧系统120的部件)或者位于非现场位置(诸如中央设施)。
在图2中,水侧系统200被示出为具有多个子设施202至212的中央设施。子设施202至212被示出为包括加热器子设施202、热回收冷却器子设施204、冷却器子设施206、冷却塔子设施208、热热能存储(TES)子设施210和冷热能存储(TES)子设施212。子设施202至212消耗来自公共设施的资源(例如,水、天然气、电力等)以服务建筑物或校园的热能负载(例如,热水、冷水、加热、冷却等)。例如,加热器子设施202可以被配置用于在热水回路214中加热水,所述热水回路使热水在加热器子设施202与建筑物10之间循环。冷却器子设施206可以被配置用于在冷水回路216中冷却水,所述冷水回路使冷水在冷却器子设施206与建筑物10之间循环。热回收冷却器子设施204可以被配置用于将热量从冷水回路216传递至热水回路214以便提供对热水的附加加热和对冷水的附加冷却。冷凝水回路218可以从冷却器子设施206中的冷水中吸收热量并且在冷却塔子设施208中放出所述吸收的热量或将吸收到的热量传递至热水回路214。热TES子设施210和冷TES子设施212可以分别存储热的和冷却的热能,以供后续使用。
热水回路214和冷水回路216可以将加热的和/或冷却的水递送至位于建筑物10的屋顶上的空气处理器(例如,AHU 106)或建筑物10的单独层或区域(例如,VAV单元116)。空气处理器推送空气经过热交换器(例如,加热盘管或冷却盘管),水流过所述热交换器以提供对空气的加热或冷却。可以将加热或冷却的空气递送至建筑物10的单独区域以服务于建筑物10的热能负载。水然后返回子设施202至212以接收进一步加热或冷却。
尽管子设施202至212被示出且被描述为加热和冷却水以便循环至建筑物环,但是应当理解的是,替代水或除了水之外,可以使用任何其它类型的工作液体(例如,乙二醇、CO2等)以服务热能负载。在其他实施例中,子设施202至212可以直接向建筑物或校园提供加热和/或冷却,而不需要中间热传递液体。对水侧系统200的这些和其他变体在本披露的教导内。
子设施202至212中的每个子设施可以包括被配置用于促进子设施的功能的各种设备。例如,加热器子设施202被示出为包括被配置用于为热水回路214中的热水添加热量的多个加热元件220(例如,锅炉、电加热器等)。加热器子设施202还被示出为包括若干泵222和224,所述泵被配置用于使热水回路214中的热水循环并控制通过单独加热元件220的热水的流速。冷却器子设施206被示出为包括被配置用于除去来自冷水回路216中的冷水的热量的多个冷却器232。冷却器子设施206还被示出为包括若干泵234和236,所述泵被配置用于使冷水回路216中的冷水循环并控制通过单独冷却器232的冷水的流速。

现在参照图3,根据示例性实施例,示出了空气侧系统300的框图。在各实施例中,空气侧系统300可以补充或替代HVAC系统100中的空气侧系统130或者可以与HVAC系统100分开来实施。当在HVAC系统100中实施时,空气侧系统300可以包括HVAC系统100中的HVAC装置的子集(例如,AHU 106、VAV单元116、管道112至114、风扇、气闸等)并且可以位于建筑物10中或周围。空气侧系统300可以操作以使用由水侧系统200提供的加热的或冷却的液体来加热或冷却提供给建筑物10的气流。
在图3中,空气侧系统300被示出为包括节能装置类型的空气处理单元(AHU)302。节能装置类型的AHU改变空气处理单元用于加热或冷却的外部空气和回流空气的量。例如,AHU 302可以经由回流空气管道308从建筑物区域306接收回流空气304并且可以经由供应空气管道312将供应空气310递送至建筑物区域306。在一些实施例中,AHU 302是位于建筑物10的屋顶上(例如,图1中所示出的AHU 106)或者以其他方式被定位用于接收回流空气304和外部空气314两者的屋顶单元。AHU 302可以被配置用于操作排气闸316、混合气闸318和外部空气闸320以便控制组合形成供应空气310的外部空气314和回流空气304的量。未通过混合气闸318的任何回流空气304可以通过排气闸316从AHU 302排出为废气322。

在一些实施例中,在单个计算机(例如,一个服务器、一个外壳等)内实施BMS控制器366。在各个其他实施例中,BMS控制器366可以跨多个服务器或计算机(例如,其可以存在于分布式位置中)分布。进一步地,虽然图4示出了如存在于BMS控制器366外的应用422和426,但在一些实施例中,应用422和426可以托管在BMS控制器366内(例如,在存储器408内)。
仍然参照图4,存储器408被示出为包括企业集成层410、自动测量与验证(AM&V)层412、需求响应(DR)层414、故障检测与诊断(FDD)层416、集成控制层418以及建筑物子系统集成层420。层410至420可以被配置用于从建筑物子系统428和其他数据源接收输入、基于所述输入确定建筑物子系统428的最佳控制动作、基于所述最佳控制动作生成控制信号并且将所生成的控制信号提供给建筑物子系统428。以下段落描述了由BMS 400中的层410至420中的每一个层执行的通用功能中的一些通用功能。
企业集成层410可以被配置用于服务于具有信息和服务的客户端或本地应用以支持各种企业级应用。例如,企业控制应用426可以被配置用于向图形用户接口(GUI)或向任何数量的企业级业务应用(例如,会计系统、用户识别系统等)提供跨子系统控制。企业控制应用426还可以或可替代地被配置用于提供用于配置BMS控制器366的配置GUI。在又其它实施例中,企业控制应用426可以与层410至420一起工作以基于在接口407和/或BMS接口409接收到的输入来优化建筑物性能(例如,效率、能量使用、舒适度或安全性)。
建筑物子系统集成层420可以被配置用于管理BMS控制器366与建筑物子系统428之间的通信。例如,建筑物子系统集成层420可以从建筑物子系统428接收传感器数据和输入信号并且向建筑物子系统428提供输出数据和控制信号。建筑物子系统集成层420还可以被配置用于管理建筑物子系统428之间的通信。建筑物子系统集成层420跨多个多厂商/多协议系统转译通信(例如,传感器数据、输入信号、输出信号等)。
需求响应层414可以被配置用于响应于满足建筑物10的需求而优化资源使用(例如,电的使用、天然气的使用、水的使用等)和/或这种资源使用的货币成本。优化可以基于分时电价、缩减信号、能量可用性、或者从公共设施提供商、分布式能量生成系统424、能量储存设备427(例如,热TES 242、冷TES 244等)或其他来源接收到的其他数据。需求响应层414可以接收来自BMS控制器366的其他层(例如,建筑物子系统集成层420、集成控制层418等)的输入。从其他层接收到的输入可以包括环境或传感器输入(如温度、二氧化碳水平、相对湿度水平、空气品质传感器输出、占用传感器输出、房间安排等)。输入还可以包括如来自公共设施的电气使用(例如,以千瓦每小时(kWh)表示)、热负载测量结果、定价信息、预计的定价、平滑定价、缩减信号等输入。
根据示例性实施例,需求响应层414包括用于响应于其接收的数据和信号的控制逻辑。这些响应可以包括与集成控制层418中的控制算法进行通信、更改控制策略、更改设定值或者以受控方式激活/去激活建筑物设备或子系统。需求响应层414还可以包括被配置用于确定何时利用所存储的能量的控制逻辑。例如,需求响应层414可以确定刚好在高峰使用时间开始之前开始使用来自能量存储设备427的能量。
在一些实施例中,需求响应层414包括控制模块,所述控制模块被配置用于主动发起控制动作(例如,自动更改设定值),所述控制动作基于表示或基于需求(例如,价格、缩减信号、需求等级等)的一个或多个输入来使能量成本最小化。在一些实施例中,需求响应层414使用设备模型来确定最佳控制动作集合。设备功能由各组建筑物设备来执行。设备模型可以表示建筑物设备集合(例如,子设施、冷却器阵列等)或单独的设备(例如,单独的冷却器、加热器、泵等)。
需求响应层414可以进一步包括或利用一个或多个需求响应政策定义(例如,数据库、XML文件等)。政策定义可以由用户(例如,经由图形用户接口)编辑或调节,从而使得可以针对用户的应用、期望的舒适度、具体建筑物设备或者基于其他关注点来定制响应于需求输入而发起的控制动作。例如,需求响应政策定义可以响应于特定需求输入而指定可以开启或关掉哪些设备、系统或一件设备应该关掉多久、可以更改什么设定值、可允许的设定值调节范围是什么、在返回到正常安排的设定值之前保持高需求设定值多久、接近容量限制有多近、要利用哪种设备模式、进入和离开能量存储设备(例如,热存储罐、电池组等)的能量传递速率(例如,最大速率、报警率、其他速率边界信息等)以及何时分派现场能量生成(例如,经由燃料电池、电动发电机组等)。
集成控制层418可以被配置用于使用建筑物子系统集成层420和/或需求响应层414的数据输入或输出来作出控制决策。由于子系统集成由建筑物子系统集成层420提供,集成控制层418可以集成子系统428的控制活动,从而使得子系统428表现为单个集成超系统。在示例性实施例中,集成控制层418包括控制逻辑,所述控制逻辑使用来自多个建筑物子系统的输入和输出以相对于单独的子系统可以单独提供的舒适度和节能而提供更大的舒适性和节能。例如,集成控制层418可以被配置用于使用来自第一子系统的输入来为第二子系统作出节能控制决策。这些决策的结果可以被传送回建筑物子系统集成层420。
集成控制层418被示出为在逻辑上低于需求响应层414。集成控制层418可以被配置用于通过配合需求响应层414而使建筑物子系统428和其对应控制回路能够被控制来增强需求响应层414的有效性。这种配置可以有利地减少相对于常规系统的破坏性需求响应行为。例如,集成控制层418可以被配置用于确保对冷水温度的设定值(或者直接或间接影响温度的另一个部件)进行需求响应驱动的向上调节不会导致风扇能量(或用于冷却空间的其他能量)的增加,所述风扇能量增加将导致建筑物能量使用总量比在冷却器处节省得更多。
集成控制层418可以被配置用于向需求响应层414提供反馈,从而使得需求响应层414检查即使正在进行所要求的减载时也适当地维持约束(例如,温度、照明水平等)。约束还可以包括与安全性、设备操作极限和性能、舒适度、防火规范、电气规范、能量规范等相关的设定值或感测边界。集成控制层418还可以在逻辑上低于故障检测与诊断层416以及自动测量与验证层412。集成控制层418可以被配置用于基于来自多于一个建筑物子系统的输出而向这些更高层提供所计算的输入(例如,汇总)。
自动测量与验证(AM&V)层412可以被配置用于验证由集成控制层418或需求响应层414命令的控制策略正适当地工作(例如,使用由AM&V层412、集成控制层418、建筑物子系统集成层420、FDD层416或其他方式汇总的数据)。由AM&V层412进行的计算可以基于用于单独的BMS装置或子系统的建筑物系统能量模型和/或设备模型。例如,AM&V层412可以将模型预测的输出与来自建筑物子系统428的实际输出进行比较以确定模型的准确度。
故障检测与诊断(FDD)层416可以被配置用于为建筑物子系统428、建筑物子系统设备(即,建筑物设备)以及由需求响应层414和集成控制层418使用的控制算法提供持续故障检测。FDD层416可以从集成控制层418处、直接从一个或多个建筑物子系统或装置处或者从另一个数据源接收数据输入。FDD层416可以自动地诊断并响应检测到的故障。对检测到的或诊断到的故障的响应可以包括向用户、检修调度系统或被配置用于试图修复故障或解决故障的控制算法提供警报消息。
FDD层416可以被配置用于使用在建筑物子系统集成层420处可用的详细子系统输入来输出故障部件的特定标识或故障原因(例如,松动的气闸联接)。在其他示例性实施例中,FDD层416被配置用于向集成控制层418提供“故障”事件,所述集成控制层响应于接收到的故障事件而执行控制策略和政策。根据示例性实施例,FDD层416(或由集成控制引擎或业务规则引擎执行的政策)可以在故障设备或系统周围关闭系统或直接控制活动,以减少能量浪费、延长设备寿命或确保适当的控制响应。
FDD层416可以被配置用于存储或访问各种不同的系统数据存储设备(或实时数据的数据点)。FDD层416可以使用数据存储设备的一些内容来标识设备级(例如,特定冷却器、特定AHU、特定终端单元等)故障并使用其他内容来标识部件或子系统级故障。例如,建筑物子系统428可以生成指示BMS 400及其各个部件的性能的时间(即,时间序列)数据。由建筑物子系统428生成的数据可以包括测得或计算出的值,所述测得或计算出的值展现统计特性并且提供关于相应的系统或过程(例如,温度控制过程、流量控制过程等)是如何在来自其设定值的误差方面执行的信息。FDD层416可以检查这些过程,以暴露系统何时开始性能降低并警告用户在故障变得更严重之前修复故障。
