Summary

Most enterprise workshop operators frequently adjust the start/stop time of air conditioning systems based on indoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity to accommodate changing demand and weather conditions. However, relying on personal subjective experience for these adjustments often leads to operational delays or energy waste due to the lack of precision in determining optimal timing. Predicting air conditioning system start and stop times is crucial for energy consumption and savings in HVAC systems. Traditional data-driven methods have been insufficient in this regard, as they mainly focus on feature mapping and overlook the dynamic coupling relationships of process variables, resulting in subpar predictions. In response to this challenge, the paper introduces a novel approach known as the Periodicity and Long-Term Convolutional Neural Network (PLCNN). This method converts one-dimensional regression prediction data into two-dimensional data containing time series features to capture the dynamic coupling characteristics of the air conditioning system while maintaining the independent variation relationships of features. Experimental results using real factory floor data have demonstrated the superior performance of the PLCNN method. Specifically, this method achieved a 14.96% lower error rate compared to the traditional method and an 8.18% improvement compared to the deep learning method. Moreover, the implementation of the PLCNN method in the optimal control of air conditioning systems led to a significant 19.43% reduction in total monthly energy consumption. In conclusion, the proposed method offers a promising alternative to traditional approaches to forecasting and provides a solution to the common challenges encountered in traditional prediction tasks.
