提升建筑供暖系统的控制效率对降低全球能源消耗和温室气体排放至关重要。传统基于规则的控制方法采用静态的室外温度依赖加热曲线,属于开环控制,无法考虑当前系统状态(如室内温度)和自由热增益(如太阳辐射),常导致热舒适性差和过热。模型预测控制(MPC)通过预测建模,结合建筑热行为、实时状态和天气预报来优化供热,克服了上述缺陷。然而,现有工业级MPC方案多采用简化的物理启发式室内温度模型,牺牲精度以换取鲁棒性和可解释性。纯数据驱动模型虽具备更高预测性能,但缺乏透明度。为此,我们提出一种部分随机的深度学习架构LSTM+BNN,用于建筑特异性室内温度建模。不同于多数研究仅通过仿真或有限测试建筑评估性能,我们在涵盖100栋真实建筑、多种气象条件的综合数据集上验证,LSTM+BNN在48小时预测时长下,将均方根误差(RMSE)平均降低超过40%,显著优于行业验证过的参考模型。相比确定性深度学习方法,LSTM+BNN通过不确定性量化实现了对模型能力的预先评估,从而支持控制优化。该模型展现出显著提升供暖MPC方案中热舒适性与能效的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Making the control of building heating systems more energy efficient is crucial for reducing global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional rule-based control methods use a static, outdoor temperature-dependent heating curve to regulate heat input. This open-loop approach fails to account for both the current state of the system (indoor temperature) and free heat gains, such as solar radiation, often resulting in poor thermal comfort and overheating. Model Predictive Control (MPC) addresses these drawbacks by using predictive modeling to optimize heating based on a building's learned thermal behavior, current system state, and weather forecasts. However, current industrial MPC solutions often employ simplified physics-inspired indoor temperature models, sacrificing accuracy for robustness and interpretability. While purely data-driven models offer superior predictive performance and therefore more accurate control, they face challenges such as a lack of transparency. To bridge this gap, we propose a partially stochastic deep learning (DL) architecture, dubbed LSTM+BNN, for building-specific indoor temperature modeling. Unlike most studies that evaluate model performance through simulations or limited test buildings, our experiments across a comprehensive dataset of 100 real-world buildings, under various weather conditions, demonstrate that LSTM+BNN outperforms an industry-proven reference model, reducing the average prediction error measured as RMSE by more than 40% for the 48-hour prediction horizon of interest. Unlike deterministic DL approaches, LSTM+BNN offers a critical advantage by enabling pre-assessment of model competency for control optimization through uncertainty quantification. Thus, the proposed model shows significant potential to improve thermal comfort and energy efficiency achieved with heating MPC solutions.
