Abstract

The inefficient operation of air-conditioning system, which leads to its high-energy consumption, has aroused far-ranging concern at present. And an accurate prediction of building cooling load can be conducive to matching the supply and demand of the air-conditioning system, thus improving its operational efficiency. Therefore, a hybrid forecasting model (BAS-GRNN&LSTM) combing generalized regression neural network (BAS-GRNN) and long short-term memory neural network (BAS-LSTM) optimized by beetle antennae search algorithm is proposed for building cooling load prediction. First, the factors affecting the cooling load are comprehensively analyzed, and the random forest combined with recursive feature elimination (RF-RFE) method is used for feature selection. Then, the BAS-GRNN&LSTM model is developed to forecast. Finally, a simulation experiment is carried out using the measured data of a large building in north of China. Compared with GRNN, LSTM, BAS-GRNN and BAS-LSTM, BAS-GRNN&LSTM performs better in five performance evaluation metrics, RMSE, MAPE, RRE, MBE and R2, demonstrating its higher prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the detailed algorithm performance analysis shows that the proposed hybrid model has significant advantages in robustness, generalization capability and computational complexity, and can be well applied to building cooling load prediction and beneficial to the optimal control of building air-conditioning system.
