Abstract

The key to achieving smart heating is the rational use of large amounts of data from the heating network. However, many current relevant studies based on generalized mathematical methods are unable to accurately describe the physical relationships between pipe network variables. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a new time-series fluctuation research method, which can be applied to the measured data of the hot water heating pipe network. This method is a new approach to identifying step data. Then, we propose the concept of time-series disturbance to quantify the degree of data anomaly. Finally, the results of a case study demonstrate the transfer process of a significant disturbance in the pipe network from the supply end to the return end. The time-series fluctuation method in this paper precisely describes two physical relationships between heating system variables and provides a feasible and convenient new research idea for self-perception and self-analysis of smart heating.
