摘要

To address the low efficiency caused by unstable operation of heating systems under variable operating conditions, this paper proposes an innovative dynamic optimization framework based on exergy analysis, filling a research gap in quantifying energy quality loss and enabling collaborative optimization across multiple operating conditions. A novel scientific partitioning method for variable operating conditions is developed using SCADA data combined with k-means clustering and silhouette coefficients, overcoming the limitations of traditional steady-state analyses. A refined flow model is constructed that integrates dynamic constraints of variable operating conditions and accurately quantifies loss distribution across different scenarios. Furthermore, a multi-parameter collaborative optimization strategy driven by a genetic algorithm is designed to target and reduce key loss mechanisms. Experimental verification shows that this method achieves an average increase of 6.6% in the exergy index. Under light-load and high-load conditions, the system’s exergy efficiency improves by 6.1% and 5.2%, respectively, providing both a theoretical breakthrough and a new engineering paradigm for efficient energy utilization under dynamic operating conditions.
