Operation Optimization Strategy of Commercial Combined Electric Heating System Based on Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm by WANG Qing, LI Congcong, WANG Pingxin, WU Qingqing, CAI Xiaoyu

“… In order to improve the energy efficiency of the electric heating system, a particle swarm optimization (PSO, Particle Swarm Optimization)-based operation optimization strategy for the direct storage combined electric heating system is proposed.A mathematical model of influencing factors inside and outside the walls of electric heating buildings is established, and the simulink toolbox in matlab is used to build the overall system under the premise of determining the quantity of electric heating.Combining demand response ideas, the objective function is to establish the minimum heating and electricity cost of the user, and different sub-modules are selected to form the control module to achieve simulation verification, and the inverse cosine method is used to update the improved particle swarm algorithm to update the learning factor to solve the set objective function.Finally, through a calculation example of electricity consumption data of an enterprise in Jinan, Shandong, comparing energy consumption and economy can be obtained: the total energy consumption throughout the day is lower than the actual energy consumption, and the electricity bill is reduced by 17.16% compared with the unoptimized time.…”
