[0002] Data centers are a global collaborative network of specific devices used to transmit, accelerate, display, calculate, and store data information on the internet network infrastructure. At present, with the vigorous development of new generation communication technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence, data centers have become an important infrastructure that affects economic and social development, and massive amounts of data need to be processed. As the main storage and computing entity for massive data, the scale of data centers has also continued to expand accordingly. In particular, Internet data centers have experienced a spurt in recent years, with their total volume accounting for more than one-third of my country's GDP, and their power consumption has exceeded 1.5% of the total electricity consumption of the whole society. However, the energy efficiency of my country's data centers is still relatively low, and the energy consumption problem caused by data centers has attracted widespread attention.
[0003] However, the lighting power supply of the data center is still realized by the traditional technology in the prior art, that is, by installing the lighting control panel and manually controlling the lighting equipment inside the data center computer room, so as to realize the lighting operation of the data center. In the actual use process, the maintenance operation of the data center by the staff of the data center is mostly carried out in a small area. At this time, a large number of lighting equipment in the data center computer room needs to be turned on, resulting in excessive use of lighting equipment and large energy waste. In addition, when the data center staff conducts inspections on the data center computer room, they generally pass through the data center computer room. The traditional control panel for the lighting equipment is fixed in one position. At this time, it is easy to forget to turn off the lighting equipment or need to return to the control panel again to turn it off, which further causes waste of electricity and is not conducive to energy-saving use of the data center.
[0004] Based on the above reasons, the present invention proposes an intelligent lighting energy-saving method based on a data center to solve the deficiencies of the prior art. Summary of the invention
