Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of building energy conservation and intelligent building control, in particular to a hierarchical distributed optimization control method of a central air-conditioning system based on a multi-agent technology.
Background
The central air-conditioning system is widely applied to the field of buildings, and the energy consumption of the central air-conditioning system accounts for a large proportion of the total energy consumption of the buildings. Therefore, the optimization control strategy of the central air-conditioning system is researched, so that the energy consumption can be reduced as far as possible on the premise of meeting the requirement of the terminal dynamic load, and the optimization control strategy has very important significance for realizing building energy conservation.
The optimal control method of the central air-conditioning system may be divided into centralized control and distributed control. The distributed control method has the characteristics of high flexibility, high expansibility, high control efficiency and the like, and has become a hotspot of research in the field of optimization control of central air-conditioning systems in recent years. The existing distributed control method usually only focuses on the control strategy optimization of a certain subsystem in the central air-conditioning system. For example, the patent "central air-conditioning host operation optimization control system and method based on distributed computation" realizes the distributed optimization control of the number of water chilling unit groups and the cooling capacity; the patent 'a group intelligent optimization method for dynamic hydraulic balance of a chilled water pipe network of a central air conditioner' realizes distributed optimization control of chilled water pump groups and the hydraulic power of the chilled water pipe network in a chilled water system; the patent 'centerless self-organizing variable air volume terminal optimization control method and system' realizes distributed optimization control of the variable air volume air supply system. In fact, a typical central air conditioning system comprises a water system, an air supply system and corresponding air supply terminals, the optimization of the system involves simultaneously realizing the energy saving of the system and the comfort of each terminal room, and due to the strong coupling of the thermal processes among subsystems, the situation of 'this trade-off' exists in the optimization control effect, and the global optimization is difficult to realize. The existing distributed control strategy only focuses on reducing the energy consumption of some equipment in the system or realizing the comfort of end rooms, is difficult to apply to the distributed optimization control of the whole central air-conditioning system, and still lacks an effective solution at present.
Disclosure of Invention

The method divides the overall optimization goal of the central air-conditioning system into a plurality of levels through a level ADMM algorithm. Taking a two-layer control structure as an example, the upper layer optimization realizes the energy saving of the system by optimizing the set value parameters of the equipment, the lower layer optimization realizes the maintenance of the comfort level of the air supply area by optimizing the set value of the parameters at the tail end of the air supply, and the upper layer and the lower layer realize the optimization of the overall target by continuous iteration. The method is characterized in that three types of intelligent agents are arranged, including a coordination intelligent agent, an equipment intelligent agent (including a water chilling unit intelligent agent and an air conditioning box intelligent agent) and a room intelligent agent, and the hierarchical distributed control task is realized through local optimization functions of the three types of intelligent agents and information interaction among the three types of intelligent agents. The method takes the comfort level of a terminal area to be maintained and the total energy consumption of the central air-conditioning system to be reduced as optimization targets, takes the energy conservation among equipment and the air volume conservation of an air-conditioning box as constraints, calculates the optimal operation strategy of the central air-conditioning system through a hierarchical distributed optimization control framework, effectively solves the distributed optimization control of the central air-conditioning system level, and has strong flexibility and expandability.
