Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy conservation and emission reduction, and in particular relates to a data center low-load air conditioning energy conservation control method and system. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid progress of electronic information technology, the scale of data centers continues to expand, and the power density of single cabinets is also increasing. From the early 3kW and 4kW to the current 6kW, and even to more than 10kW, the energy consumption problem of data centers has become increasingly prominent. In particular, the energy consumption of IT equipment and air conditioning accounts for about 50% and 40% of the total energy consumption, respectively, which has become a bottleneck restricting the further development of data centers. The low-load air conditioning energy-saving control method is a solution to this problem, which can significantly reduce the energy consumption of data centers and improve energy utilization efficiency.
[0003] The air conditioning system in the data center not only ensures the normal operation of the equipment, but also consumes a lot of energy. Especially when the data center load is low, the traditional air conditioning system may not be able to effectively adapt to this change, resulting in excessive energy consumption. Therefore, how to achieve air conditioning energy saving when the data center is under low load has become the focus of the industry.
[0004] In this context, energy-saving control methods for low-load air conditioning in data centers have emerged. These methods achieve precise control of data center air conditioning systems by optimizing the operation strategies of air conditioning systems and combining advanced control technology and sensor technology. This can not only reduce the energy consumption of data centers and improve energy efficiency, but also help extend the service life of air conditioning equipment and reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, with the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, low-load air conditioning energy-saving control methods will become more mature and efficient. For example, technologies such as adaptive regulation and intelligent control based on AI algorithms will enable air conditioning systems to be more accurately adjusted dynamically according to the load conditions and environmental changes of the data center, achieving more efficient energy-saving effects.
[0005] In addition, as the concepts of green, low-carbon and sustainable development gain popularity, the demand for energy-saving technologies in the data center industry will continue to grow. As an effective means of energy saving, low-load air conditioning energy-saving control methods will be more widely used and promoted.
[0006] Finally, with the rapid development of new generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing, data centers will carry more services and data, and their energy consumption problems will become more prominent. Therefore, low-load air conditioning energy-saving control methods will play a more important role in the construction and operation of future data centers.
[0007] In general, the technical background of the data center low-load air conditioning energy-saving control method is the prominent energy consumption problem of the data center and the demand for energy-saving and efficient operation, which has huge market potential and social value. By applying this method, the operating cost of the data center can be effectively reduced, the energy utilization efficiency can be improved, and strong support can be provided for the sustainable development of the data center, and strong support can be provided for the energy-saving and efficient operation of the data center.
[0008] The prior art CN116817424A discloses an air-conditioning energy-saving control system and method based on artificial intelligence, including information sorting and categorizing of all valid operating parameter setting switching behaviors that appear in all historical equipment control events; capturing the characteristic use operating settings that exist when the user controls the target air-conditioning equipment; capturing all second characteristic historical switching behaviors that satisfy the switch from high loss to low loss from all first characteristic historical switching behaviors; capturing the condition information that needs to be met when each second characteristic historical switching behavior occurs respectively; when the operating status of the current operating parameter settings of the target air-conditioning equipment meets the condition information when a corresponding second characteristic historical switching behavior occurs, the current operating parameter settings of the target air-conditioning equipment are set and switched according to a second characteristic historical switching behavior, but this method can only fix a few corresponding states to make limited adjustments to parameters such as air-conditioning power, and the degree of intelligence and controllability are low. In the prior art CN117556217A, a water-cooled central air-conditioning energy-saving control method based on heterogeneous graph neural network and simulated annealing algorithm is disclosed. The method establishes a heterogeneous graph neural network model according to the actual water-cooled central air-conditioning refrigeration room environment, trains the model using a training data set, and simulates the operating environment of the refrigeration room with the trained model; then establishes a simulated annealing algorithm model, and places it in the simulated refrigeration room operating environment for training and learning, and evaluates it in combination with the real central air-conditioning operating data until the energy-saving effect meets the requirements, and then stops training, imports the trained simulated annealing algorithm model into the control terminal, and performs reasoning and issuing control instructions for energy-saving regulation. The present invention uses a heterogeneous graph neural network as a control model, and only updates whether there is a relationship between nodes, and does not need to update the weight and bias of the data, thereby reducing training time and saving training costs. Through the present invention, the control instructions are safely evaluated, and the control instructions are issued, which is predicted and reviewed, to ensure the safe operation of the system. However, this method is mainly aimed at water-cooled central air conditioning energy-saving systems, and this method is mainly used to optimize the algorithm flow of the central air conditioning energy-saving control method based on a neural network, which is not universal, and has no obvious effect on the air conditioning system equipped in the data center with high energy consumption, high degree of optimization of energy distribution, high flexibility and high dynamics.

The control personnel make judgments based on the temperature change trend: if the temperature is too high in the future, it will affect the normal operation of IT equipment and even cause equipment damage. The control personnel will gradually reduce the air conditioning temperature setting in real time through the console to reduce the indoor temperature within the minimum energy consumption range; if the indoor temperature and IT equipment power and temperature continue to decrease in the future, and the indoor temperature is sufficient to support the normal operation of IT equipment, the control personnel can appropriately increase the air conditioning temperature through the console to reduce air conditioning energy consumption. The air conditioning temperature adjustment instructions of the control personnel are sent to the equipment parameter control system through the network data communication system. The equipment parameter control system has a built-in equipment operation parameter optimization control method. This method is based on the premise of achieving the air conditioning temperature setting. Under this premise, the parameter settings of each refrigeration equipment inside the air conditioner are adjusted with the goal of minimizing air conditioning energy consumption, thereby achieving the air conditioning low-load energy saving goal.
[0080] Example 1
[0081] In one embodiment, the management and control personnel perform digital twin data visualization modeling of the data center through the data center digital modeling method. First, the operating data of each IT equipment and air-conditioning equipment in the data center is collected through sensor equipment, including the operating power and temperature of the IT equipment over a long period of time, the set temperature, power, energy consumption of the air-conditioning equipment, and indoor temperature data. In order to prevent the interference of erroneous data, missing data and abnormal data on the accuracy of modeling, the management and control personnel use joint linear regression and clustering algorithms to pre-process the data, remove abnormal data, and reduce noise interference. The joint linear regression and clustering algorithms are to first input the data to be processed into the linear regression model to obtain the approximate data distribution and remove obvious errors or duplicate data. After that, the data cleaned by the linear regression algorithm is input into the clustering algorithm to perform more refined cleaning on the data and eliminate abnormal data that is not easy to find. The mathematical principle of using the linear regression algorithm to clean data is:
[0082]
[0083] Among them, y is the data distribution function curve predicted by the linear regression model, w is the model parameter, x is the characteristic data including IT equipment power, temperature, air conditioning temperature setting, energy consumption, and data center indoor temperature, and b is the bias. Draw the approximate function curve of the data distribution according to the linear regression algorithm, and remove the deviation data that obviously deviates from the curve to obtain the preliminary cleaned data. Afterwards, the control personnel will send the preliminary cleaned data to the clustering algorithm. The clustering algorithm adopts the K-Means clustering algorithm. The specific operation steps are as follows:
[0084] Step 1: Assume that there are n types of data collected by the sensor, and randomly select one data from each type of data as the initial clustering center.
[0085] Step 2: Calculate the Manhattan distance from each data point in the database to each cluster center, and assign the data point to the category corresponding to the cluster center closest to it. The calculation formula for Manhattan distance is:
[0086] d=|d1-d0|
[0087] Where d is the Manhattan distance, d1 is the data point to be classified, d0 is the data center, and |·| is the absolute value operation.
[0088] Step 3: After completing a round of clustering, calculate the average value of the data points assigned to each cluster and use the average value as the new cluster center.
[0089] Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the cluster center no longer changes or changes very little, or the preset maximum number of iterations is reached. At this time, the data that has not been classified is the abnormal data that needs to be eliminated.
[0090] After completing the data preprocessing, the control personnel extract the corresponding key features of the equipment from the preprocessed data, including the power consumption, heat dissipation and indoor temperature data of the equipment at different time periods, to represent the main attributes and operating characteristics of the equipment, and build a digital twin model based on the extracted features and the system's artificial prior knowledge to simulate the behavior of the data center system. After the model is built, the control personnel can use the data observed by the sensor in real time to calibrate the digital model to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the model, optimize and adjust the model parameters, and use the established digital twin model to simulate and analyze the operation, heat dissipation, air conditioning operation and indoor temperature changes of the data center IT equipment at different time periods, verify the performance of the model, and find potential problems or optimization space. Finally, the digital twin model is visualized and applied to the real-time monitoring interface of the host computer, and interactive technology is used to control and operate the model.
[0091] Example 2
[0092] In one embodiment, in order to ensure efficient, accurate and real-time transmission of data and control information and realize data communication between devices, the control personnel build a network data communication system through a system information group sending and receiving method. The system information group sending and receiving method includes a network communication link construction method and a network protocol and device address design method, which specifically includes the use of two communication links, power carrier communication and optical fiber communication, and the use of two transmission media, unshielded twisted pair and trunk optical fiber. The optical fiber communication network is mainly used for data exchange between the data center field console and each device, and between each device. The power carrier communication network is used for data communication between the data center field console and the upper management and monitoring center; the network protocol and device address design method includes using the TCP / IP protocol as the communication protocol between the physical layer and the data link layer; using the network number, IP address, MAC address and device number to identify each IT device and air conditioning equipment, and supporting the data exchange between the console and each device, and between each device.
[0093] Example 3
[0094] In one embodiment, the data center controller hopes to predict the indoor temperature of the data center and the temperature of each IT device in the future based on the daily working power change of the IT equipment in the data center and the historical data of the indoor temperature change, and adjust the air conditioning temperature step by step in advance, so as to avoid the high energy consumption caused by the large adjustment of the air conditioning set temperature in a short period of time while ensuring that the indoor temperature and the temperature of each IT device are within the normal working range. The controller achieves the above goal through the temperature change prediction method, and the specific steps include:
[0095] Step 1: Use sensors and communication networks to continuously collect data on power changes, temperature changes of each IT device in the data center, temperature changes of each air conditioner setting, and indoor temperature changes over a period of time, and build a corresponding database.

The convolutional recurrent generative adversarial network model is a combination of a convolutional recurrent neural network and a generative adversarial network. The initial temperature change results predicted by the convolutional recurrent neural network are sent to the generative adversarial network model to generate refined prediction results. The convolutional recurrent neural network contains three convolutional recurrent layers, which use 128 1*1, 3*3, and 5*5 convolution kernels of three types with step-by-step gradient ascent.

After being judged as true by the discriminator, the output is the refined prediction result.
[0106] Step 5: Use the constructed convolutional loop generative adversarial neural network model to complete model training on the training set, so that the neural network model can well fit the mapping relationship F(·) between α and β. Load the saved model weights and complete the model performance test on the test set.
[0107] Step 6: Deploy the tested neural network model to the control system, input the current air conditioning set temperature, and continuously input the IT equipment power changes to obtain the temperature change curves for the data center room and each IT equipment in the future. According to the temperature change value, adjust the air conditioning temperature setting appropriately to keep the indoor temperature and equipment temperature near the ideal threshold at all times, ensuring the normal operation of IT equipment while avoiding energy waste caused by setting the air conditioning temperature too low.
