Summary

Owing to the large power consumption and poor indoor comfort of central air conditioning, controlling the central air conditioning for cool storage and analyzing the power saving optimization of the central air conditioning operation have become necessary. Therefore, a method of power saving optimization analysis based on an improved ant colony air conditioning system is proposed to solve the problem of power consumption. According to the characteristics of cold storage operation regulation, the power consumption of chilled water pumps and air conditioning fans were used to establish a model, and the influence of cold storage operation regulation on central air conditioning operation power consumption was analyzed. On this basis, the improved ant colony is used to optimize the power saving path, according to the factors affecting the power consumption of central air conditioning operation above, and the optimal operation of air conditioning and storage regulation was analyzed, and the power saving treatment of central air conditioning operation was completed. The experimental results show that when the method is adopted, power consumption can be reduced by 67 560 kWh for the entire year, the total consumption of the optimal working point is approximately 0.384 kW, and the power saving effect is better with certain advantages.
