[0002] Since the 21st century, with the continuous advancement of urbanization and the continuous migration of the labor population, the energy consumption in urban areas has increased substantially, which has led to the rapid growth of greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide. This has brought about the climate deterioration crisis that cannot be ignored for human society. With the rise of Internet of Things, big data technology, and especially low-power wide-area Internet of Things technology, it has become an inevitable trend to realize precise monitoring and early warning of carbon emissions through emerging technologies, comprehensive energy management and control, and fine management of comprehensive energy.
[0003] Although the current carbon emission monitoring technology can monitor to a certain extent, it cannot control the overall carbon emissions of the city. At the same time, most monitoring methods only predict the carbon emissions and do not calculate the areas that need to be managed in the city. In addition, due to the great difference in carbon emission data at different time nodes, the carbon emission monitoring and early warning method at the time point still needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0046] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0047] Example 1
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a carbon emission monitoring, early warning, and analysis system based on edge computing, including:
[0049] The data acquisition subsystem is used to acquire urban air data based on time points;
[0050] An edge computing subsystem, connected to the data acquisition subsystem, is used to construct a spatiotemporal analysis model of carbon emissions based on urban space and urban air data;
[0051] A cloud computing subsystem, connected to the edge computing subsystem, is used to analyze urban carbon emissions based on the spatiotemporal analysis model of carbon emissions and obtain analysis results;
[0052] A monitoring and early warning subsystem, connected to the cloud computing subsystem, is used to issue early warnings for urban carbon emissions based on the analysis results.
[0053] To further optimize the solution, the data acquisition subsystem includes:
[0054] Sensor deployment module for deploying greenhouse gas concentration sensors based on urban spatial distribution;
[0055] The sensor module is used to acquire data from the greenhouse gas concentration sensor based on time points and generate the city air data.
[0056] The carbon-rich components either transform into hydrocarbons or aldehydes (gases) with lower carbon content, or into more complex particulate matter (PM) with higher carbon content, or into solid soot particles (also PM), or into carbon monoxide (CO), a combustion intermediate. Therefore, incomplete combustion products caused by insufficient oxygen are another mechanism for hydrocarbon (HC) emissions, and also the only mechanism for soot and particulate matter (PM) emissions and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. Soot generation requires a severe lack of oxygen, so it is mainly generated in non-homogeneous combustion diesel engines. Gasoline engines, because the fuel and air are homogeneously mixed before combustion, and the mixture is generally not too rich, generally do not produce soot, and particulate matter (PM) emissions are also very low (but if oil enters the mixture, such as in a two-stroke gasoline engine that burns oil due to a faulty piston ring or by burning a mixture of oil, soot and particulate matter will also be produced).
[0057] Additionally, if a gasoline engine's fuel supply system malfunctions, leading to uncontrolled fuel supply, soot will also be produced. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are generated by the reaction of oxygen and nitrogen in the air, including NO and NO2, with NO being the predominant component. However, oxygen and nitrogen in the air do not undergo a chemical reaction under atmospheric conditions. It is only because the high-temperature environment (1200–2400°C) created by combustion provides the conditions for the reaction to produce NO and NO2 that nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions occur. This is the formation mechanism of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Lead salts come directly from fuel.
[0058] Further optimization of the scheme, the edge computing subsystem includes:
[0059] The filtering module is used to filter the urban air data to obtain time-varying air data;
[0060] The urban spatial acquisition module is used to acquire urban spatial data based on historical data;
[0061] The model building module is used to build the spatiotemporal analysis model of carbon emissions based on the time-varying air data and the urban spatial data.
[0062] To further optimize the solution, the module construction module includes:
[0063] The city model building unit is used to build a three-dimensional city model based on the urban spatial data.
[0064] A digital twin model is a digital simulation model that can model and simulate a physical system in a computer, and continuously update predictions and evaluate performance through real-time data acquisition and analysis. The following are simple steps for building a digital twin model:
[0065] Define the modeling scope: Determine the digital twin model to be built.
[0066] Data collection: Collect various data related to the established model, including physical parameters, environmental conditions, and operational status data. In this application, these data are obtained from multiple sources, including sensors, equipment, and monitoring systems.
[0067] Establish a physical model: Input the collected data into computer software to establish a mathematical model based on physical principles.
[0068] Simulation: Using a pre-established model, digital simulation is performed on a computer. This process can simulate and predict operating conditions and performance under different conditions;
[0069] Validation and calibration: Through real-time data acquisition and analysis, the established model and simulation results are verified to ensure they match actual conditions, and calibration and optimization are performed. This process continuously improves the model's accuracy and effectiveness.
[0070] Application and Updates: Apply the digital twin model to the actual operating system and continuously monitor and update the data.
[0071] A gas flow model building unit is used to build an air flow prediction model based on the time-varying air data.
[0072] The construction of the prediction model involves: determining the network structure: based on actual needs, determining the required number of input, hidden, and output layers and nodes.
[0073] Initializing weights and biases: Weights and biases are core parameters of a neural network and need to be initialized with small, random values. Weights and biases control the strength and direction of signal transmission between neurons.
[0074] Forward propagation computation: Starting from the input layer, the prediction is calculated by computing the weighted sum of each neuron and passing it to the next layer.
[0075] Define the loss function: The loss function measures the difference between the predicted result and the actual result. Commonly used loss functions include mean squared error (MSE) and cross-entropy;
[0076] Backpropagation optimization: The contribution of each parameter to the loss function is calculated using the backpropagation algorithm, and then the values of the weights and biases are updated according to the gradient descent algorithm to minimize the loss function.
[0077] Repeated iteration: Through multiple forward and backward propagation optimizations, the values of weights and biases are continuously updated until the loss function converges.
[0078] The model matching unit is used to match the parameters of the city 3D model and the air flow prediction model to obtain the carbon emission spatiotemporal analysis model.
[0079] The cloud computing subsystem, further optimized as described above, includes:
[0080] The classification module is used to classify and label urban carbon emission areas based on the spatiotemporal analysis model of carbon emissions, and obtain urban carbon emission classification results.
[0081] The prediction module is used to predict urban carbon emission concentrations based on the spatiotemporal analysis model of carbon emissions and obtain prediction results.
[0082] An integration module is used to integrate and analyze the city's carbon emission classification results and the prediction results to obtain analysis results;
[0083] The cloud storage module is used to transmit the analysis results to the database for storage.
[0084] The database in this application is in XML format;
[0085] Building an XML database typically involves the following steps:
[0086] Determining the data structure based on carbon emission environmental requirements: Data in an XML database is stored in the form of XML documents, therefore, it is necessary to determine the data structure and define a Document Type Definition (DTD) or XML Schema (XSD) to describe the data format and rules. These templates include elements, attributes, namespaces, etc.
[0087] Design document template: Based on the data structure, create and design an XML document template, that is, define the various elements, attributes and relationships between them in the XML document.
[0088] Determine the storage solution: Select a suitable XML database system based on application requirements, such as eXist-db, BaseX, or MarkLogic. Some database management systems also support data import and querying in XML format, such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
[0089] Inserting and retrieving data: Use the provided API or query language, such as XQuery or XPath, to insert data into the database and retrieve and query data from the database. Note that the XML data stored in the database should conform to a predefined DTD or XSD specification.
[0090] Perform maintenance and optimization: periodically back up and maintain the database, and optimize query statements and indexes to improve index efficiency and query speed.
[0091] The scheme is further optimized, and the hierarchical module includes:
[0092] The threshold range setting unit is used to set the carbon emission threshold range in stages according to the carbon emission level.
[0093] A labeling unit is used to color-label the spatiotemporal analysis model of carbon emissions based on the threshold range to obtain a labeled model.
[0094] The carbon emission analysis module is used to analyze the city's carbon emissions based on the labeled model and obtain the city's carbon emission classification results.
[0095] The monitoring and early warning subsystem, further optimized, includes:
[0096] A display module is used to display the spatiotemporal analysis model of carbon emissions and the analysis results;
[0097] The monitoring module is used to monitor urban carbon emissions based on the aforementioned spatiotemporal analysis model for carbon emissions.

[0099] The early warning module is used to issue early warnings about urban carbon emissions based on the analysis results.
[0100] The carbon emission calculation and analysis engine calculates and analyzes the results, visualizes them in three dimensions, and generates a report. In this embodiment, based on the carbon emission calculation and analysis engine, a lightweight BI engine is used to visualize the results in three dimensions and generate a calculation and analysis report. The three-dimensional presentation makes the results more intuitive, and the analysis report can provide the calculation basis, results, optimization suggestions, etc., providing support and basis for optimization.
