Energy Saving Analysis of refrigeration room Group Control Based on Kernel Ridge Regression Algorithm

Abstract

Generally, the central air conditioners are centralized in a refrigeration room in public buildings. The proportion of energy consumption of the refrigeration room is about 40% of entire building. This paper aims to propose an energy plus and self-designed simulator to reduce the energy consumption of a large electronic factory in Zhuhai City, Guangdong province, China. In this paper, the real data collected from the electronic factory in February and the group control method used in the refrigeration room based on the kernel ridge regression algorithm. The correctness of the kernel ridge regression algorithm was verified with the experimental results. Compared to traditional PID control method, the kernel ridge regression algorithm could dynamically adjust those parameters, such as temperature and frequency to match the high efficiency zone of each device. The overall average COP of the system is increased from 4.17 to 7.04. The electricity of the refrigeration room could save 64 MWh with the cooling load forecast error being below 7% in February. The power consumption is expected to reduce by 8.2% and 562.3 MWh in 2022.
