Centralized energy management method and system

Abstract

The invention provides a centralized energy management method and a system therefor, an agent on a device side and a centralized energy management controller. The centralized energy management method comprises the following steps: registering a plurality of devices, and at least recording energy management capacity of each of the devices related to a controllable state of energy management; collecting running state data of each of the devices; analyzing the running state data to determine a current energy management strategy for each of the devices; for each of the devices, controlling the running state according to the determined current energy management strategy and the management capacity of the devices. The method determines the proper current energy management strategies in real time by registering the energy management capacities intensively and monitoring the current running states of the devices so as to control the current running states of the devices and realize centralized energy management for the devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of control, in particular, to a centralized power management (power management) method and system, a device-side agent, and a centralized power management controller. Background technique [0002] Global warming and energy shortage are two major environmental problems facing human beings. In order to alleviate such problems, in terms of power usage, it is hoped to save power as much as possible and reduce heat emission caused by power consumption. [0003] However, in a modern enterprise environment, there are more and more IT devices, and most of these IT devices are always powered on, so that only these IT devices will consume a large amount of power. [0004] Especially in recent years, the power consumption of data center / application system (distributed computing environment) is the number one basic problem faced by the IT environment of enterprises. Five years ago, the average power consumption per rack...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] Currently, there is no energy management mechanism that centrally and automatically monitors and manages energy consumption within a data center / application system (distributed computing environment)

[0010] Also, although in theory, it is hoped that with the help of ACPI-like interfaces, application developers can develop intelligent management of energy consumption within the data center / application system while implementing specific functions during execution In order to achieve the goal of saving energy, however, in practice, this is not practical for large data centers / application systems
