Energy Prediction Method for Metro HVAC Systems based on the ARMA Model

Blog Article

This paper proposes an energy consumption-prediction method for metro heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems based on an auto-regressive moving average (ARMA) model using a time-series data analysis.Firstly, stationarity analysis and white-noise analysis (also known as pure stochastic analysis) were carried out on the collected energy-consumption data from actual metro HVAC systems.Secondly, optimal model parameters were determined using the autocorrelation function (ACF), and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) radio birdman tshirt and Akaike information criterion (AIC).

Finally, an effective energy consumption-prediction model was established.Four different methods were employed to test the effectiveness of the established ARMA model.Meanwhile, two performance indexes, namely, mean moondrop quarks absolute error and root mean square error, were adopted to evaluate its performance in terms of fitting the observed energy consumption data.

The results demonstrate that the proposed method based on the ARMA model could extract useful information from the energy data and is thus effective for energy consumption prediction of metro HVAC systems.
