Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy system technology, specifically relating to an optimization design and scheduling method for a multi-energy complementary distributed energy system for data centers. Background Technology
[0002] Data centers, as the infrastructure for data processing and information management, play a vital role in modern society. In recent years, with the rapid development of big data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, the energy consumption and carbon emissions of data centers have been growing at an alarming rate. Statistics show that data centers currently account for 2% of global electricity consumption, and this growth rate is expected to reach 15%–20% in the coming years, with carbon emissions projected to reach 8% of global emissions by 2030. Besides technological upgrades to the data centers themselves, efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical energy supply systems are another effective way to address the energy consumption and carbon emission problems of data centers. Multi-energy complementary distributed energy systems (DMES) are energy supply systems deployed near the user's location, combining combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) systems, renewable energy systems, and energy storage systems to simultaneously provide users with cooling, heating, and electricity. The cleanliness, efficiency, and reliability of DMES perfectly meet the energy supply system requirements of data centers. The optimized design and operation of data center DMES will affect the overall system performance. However, currently, there are few methods for optimizing the design and scheduling of data center DMES, and methods for comprehensive optimization of data center DMES across its entire lifecycle, considering economic, environmental, and energy objectives, are also rare. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for multi-objective optimization design and scheduling of the entire lifecycle of data center DMES. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] Step 7: Input the relevant data required for solving the multi-objective optimization model, including meteorological parameters, load data, and equipment parameters. Based on the idea of population variation, improve the traditional multi-objective locust optimization algorithm, and solve the established multi-objective optimization model to obtain the optimal solution set.
[0013] Step 8: Select the optimal solution from the set of non-dominated solutions using the superior-inferior solution distance method, and then determine the optimal design and scheduling scheme of the data center multi-energy complementary distributed energy system.
[0014] Based on the constructed multi-energy complementary distributed energy system configuration of the data center, the system's equipment mainly includes photovoltaics, wind turbines, ground source heat pumps, gas internal combustion engines, waste heat recovery equipment, batteries, an ice storage system (ice storage tank + electric chiller unit), a thermal storage tank, an absorption chiller unit, and a gas boiler. The generators of the photovoltaics, wind turbines, and gas internal combustion engines are connected to the power grid via power lines, which are respectively connected to the electric chiller unit, the battery, and the data center. Natural gas inlet pipes are connected to the steam inlets of the gas internal combustion engine and the gas boiler. The flue gas outlet of the gas internal combustion engine is connected to the waste heat recovery equipment. The hot water outlet of the waste heat recovery equipment is connected to the hot water outlet of the gas boiler via a pipeline, and then sequentially connected to the absorption chiller unit, the thermal storage tank, and the data center along the pipeline. The cold water outlet of the electric chiller unit is connected to the ice storage tank and its outlet, and then connected to the cold water outlet of the ground source heat pump and the outlet of the absorption chiller unit via a pipeline to the data center.
[0015] Based on the mathematical model of the aforementioned equipment, the lifecycle cost, carbon emissions, and primary energy consumption of the data center multi-energy complementary distributed energy system are established as objective functions, specifically including:
[0016] Based on the mathematical model of the device, the lifecycle cost objective function LCC for the data center multi-energy complementary distributed energy system is established:
[0017]
[0018] Among them, PRVini It is the initial investment; PRV main It's the maintenance cost; PRV run It is operating cost; PRV tax It's a carbon tax; C i It refers to the capacity of device i, in kW; UP i The unit capacity cost of the i-th device is yuan / kW; ε i It is the percentage of maintenance costs to capacity costs; E grid Electricity purchased from the grid, kW·h; UP grid Electricity price, yuan / kW·h; V ng For natural gas consumption, Nm 3 ;UP ng The price of natural gas is in yuan / Nm³. 3 ACE represents annual carbon emissions in tons (t); UP tax It represents the carbon tax, expressed in yuan / ton; R is the present value factor for an ordinary annuity; i0 is the discount rate, expressed as a percentage; n is the life cycle of the equipment; r sal For the economic cycle rate;
[0019] Based on the mathematical model of the device, the lifecycle carbon emission objective function (LCCE) of the data center multi-energy complementary distributed energy system is established:
[0020]
[0021] Where, μ ng Carbon emissions per unit volume of natural gas, kg / Nm³ 3 μ grid This refers to the carbon emissions of the power grid, expressed in kg / kW·h; rec is the equipment's recycling rate; CE i Carbon emissions per unit capacity of equipment during production, transportation, and installation, expressed in kg / kW.

[0025] Based on the analysis of the cold, heat, and electricity load data of the data center, its distribution characteristics are analyzed, and an operation strategy suitable for the multi-energy complementary distributed energy system of the data center is formulated. This strategy prioritizes meeting the cold load, then the electricity demand, and finally the heat demand. The operation process for meeting the cold load is as follows: first, the ground source heat pump and absorption chiller units are turned on for cooling. When the cooling capacity exceeds the cold load, the electric chiller units are turned on to make ice until the ice storage tank reaches its maximum capacity. When the cooling capacity is less than the cold load, the ice storage tank melts ice for cooling. If this still cannot meet the cold load demand, the electric chiller units are turned on for cooling. The operation process for meeting the electricity demand is as follows: the system electricity demand is determined by the electricity load, the power consumption of the electric chiller units, and the ground source heat pump... The total power consumption of the system is the sum of the power consumption of the photovoltaic, wind turbine, and gas internal combustion engine. When the power generation of the photovoltaic, wind turbine, and gas internal combustion engine exceeds the power demand, the battery stores electricity until it is fully charged. At this time, the power generation of the gas internal combustion engine is reduced first to balance supply and demand. When the power generation of the photovoltaic, wind turbine, and gas internal combustion engine is less than the power demand, the battery discharges. If the demand is still not met, electricity is purchased from the grid. The operation process of the system to meet the heat demand is as follows: the system heat demand is determined as the sum of the heat consumption power of the absorption chiller and the heat load. When the recovered heat cannot meet the heat load demand, the gas boiler is turned on for supplementary heating. When the recovered heat is greater than the heat load demand, the heat storage tank stores heat and the excess heat is discharged.
[0026] Based on the energy balance principle and actual operation, the constraints are determined, mainly including:

Let t be the battery charging power at time t.
[0033] The thermal balance constraint is determined based on the principle of energy balance:

[0035] Among them, Q load (t) represents the heat load at time t, Q re (t) represents the power of the waste heat recovery system at time t, Q. abs (t) represents the heat consumption power of the absorption chiller at time t. Let t be the heat release power of the thermal storage tank. Let Q be the thermal storage power of the thermal storage tank at time t. gb (t) represents the thermal power of the gas-fired boiler at time t.
[0036] Based on actual operation, capacity limits and operational limits are determined. The operational limits are defined by the operational strategy, and the capacity limits are as follows:
[0037]
[0038] Among them, V device,i For the capacity of device i, The maximum capacity of device i.
[0039] Based on the idea of population variation, the traditional multi-objective locust optimization algorithm is improved, resulting in the improved multi-objective locust optimization algorithm IMOGOA. The operators of the multi-objective locust optimization algorithm are as follows:
[0040]
[0041]
[0042] Among them, P i d Let c be the location of the locust, and c be the reduction factor. max Let c be the maximum value. min ub is the minimum value of c. d and lb d These represent the upper and lower bounds in the d-th dimension, respectively. ij For individual P j With P i distance, is the target value in the d-th dimension, l is the current iteration number, and L is the maximum iteration number.
[0043] The calculation process of IMOGOA includes: initializing the population and the number of iterations, population size, and c. min c min , L, calculate the fitness function of the initial population, find the non-dominated Pareto optimal solution and initialize the external archive, and perform the following operations within the number of iterations: update parameter c, standardize the distance between locusts to make it within the range of [1,4], set the mutation probability to perform population mutation operation, update the position of the locusts and calculate the fitness function at the current position, determine the optimal individual, update the archive members in the archive set, and the final archive set is the optimal solution set.
[0044] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this technology are:
[0045] (1) Objective functions for life cycle cost, carbon emissions, and primary energy consumption were established, and carbon tax was incorporated into the cost function. Compared with traditional objective functions for cost, carbon emissions, and primary energy consumption, this study considers more factors and is more comprehensive, resulting in more reliable design results.
[0046] (2) The present invention fully considers the characteristics of cold, heat and electricity loads of data centers, and the operating strategy formulated makes the supply and demand of cold, heat and electricity loads just balanced, thus ensuring the energy supply reliability of data centers.

Compared with the traditional multi-objective locust optimization algorithm (MOGOA) and the non-dominated sorting multi-objective genetic algorithm II (IMOGOA), the solution set of IMOGOA has better convergence, more uniform distribution, and wider coverage.

The process for meeting electricity demand is as follows: the system's electricity demand is determined by the electrical load, the power consumption of the electric chiller units, the power consumption of the ground source heat pump, and the power consumption of auxiliary equipment. In summary, when the power generation of photovoltaic, wind turbine, and gas internal combustion engine exceeds the electricity demand, the battery stores electricity until it is fully charged. At this point, the power generation of the gas internal combustion engine is reduced first to balance supply and demand. When the power generation of photovoltaic, wind turbine, and gas internal combustion engine is less than the electricity demand, the battery discharges. If the demand is still not met, electricity is purchased from the grid. The system's operation process to meet heat demand is as follows: the system heat demand is determined as the sum of the heat consumption power of the absorption chiller and the heat load. When the recovered heat cannot meet the heat load demand, the gas boiler is turned on for supplementary heating. When the recovered heat is greater than the heat load demand, the heat storage tank stores heat, and the excess heat is discharged.
