DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0023] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that the terms "include" and "comprise" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0024] Example 1 The interface aggregation device of the current data center energy management system usually includes the following parts: Data collection module: By installing sensors and monitoring equipment, the energy consumption data of the data center is collected in real time, including data on power, cooling, network and other aspects.

[0025] Data transmission module: transmits the collected data to the central processing unit via wired or wireless means for further processing and analysis.

[0026] Central processing unit: organizes, analyzes and mines the received data to extract useful information, such as energy consumption trends, energy saving potential, etc.

[0027] User interface module: provides users with an intuitive and easy-to-use operation interface, displays energy consumption data and analysis results, and supports users in energy consumption management and decision-making.

[0028] It can be seen that the current interface aggregation device has the following technical problems: (1) It can only support devices and systems of specific brands or models. The compatibility between devices and systems of different brands or models is poor, which increases the difficulty of data integration and processing.

[0029] (2) Due to the differences in data formats and protocols between different devices and systems, existing interface aggregation devices need to perform a large amount of data conversion and format adjustment during data processing and analysis, resulting in low data processing efficiency and inability to meet application scenarios with high real-time requirements.

[0030] (3) As data centers continue to grow in size and complexity, new equipment and systems continue to emerge. Existing interface aggregation devices often find it difficult to adapt to such changes and require frequent upgrades and modifications, increasing maintenance costs and time costs.

[0031] (4) The existing interface aggregation devices still need to be improved in terms of intelligence. For example, they lack functions such as automatic early warning and intelligent diagnosis, and are unable to provide users with more comprehensive and intelligent energy management solutions.

[0032] To solve the above technical problems, in this embodiment, a data center energy management system interface aggregation device is disclosed, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, including: The device adapter plug-in is used to obtain device data and store the device data in the corresponding database; The interface aggregation microservice is used to extract data from various databases and send the extracted data to the corresponding application platform; The data source management microservice is used to obtain and store the data source configuration information of each database. When the data source configuration information of the stored database changes, it publishes a message to the multi-data source connection pool component. The multi-data source connection pool component is used to update the database connection after receiving the message sent by the data source management microservice.

[0033] Among them, the device adapter plug-in is used to convert device data into format data that can be recognized by the interface aggregation microservice, and store the format data in the corresponding database.

[0034] This embodiment provides corresponding device adapter plug-ins for different types of devices, which are responsible for converting original device data into format data that can be recognized by the interface aggregation microservice, such as JSON.

[0035] In addition, the device adapter plug-in first verifies the acquired device data, and performs data cleaning such as deduplication, missing value processing, and error correction on the verified data to obtain the cleaned data; through data mapping, the cleaned data is mapped to the format data that can be recognized by the interface aggregation microservice through mapping rules.

[0036] The verification of the device data refers to the verification of the source of the device data. When the source of the device data is verified successfully, it is determined that the device data verification is successful.

[0037] The interface aggregation microservice is used to convert the extracted data into data in a set format, and then send the data in the set format to the corresponding application platform.

[0038] The interface aggregation microservice of this embodiment is a core component, which is responsible for transmitting messages and data between the device adapter plug-in and the upper-level application platforms; the interface aggregation microservice sends the set format data to the corresponding application platform through the message middleware.

[0039] Message middleware can efficiently handle the flow of data and ensure the stable transmission of messages and data between various levels.

[0040] The interface aggregation microservice is used to determine the application platform to which the set format data is to be sent according to a preset sending mechanism; then, the set format data is sent to the determined application platform.

[0041] The interface aggregation microservice of this embodiment extracts data features, and determines the application platform to which the set format data is to be sent based on the data features and in combination with the preset sending mechanism. The data features include data source, data type, and data importance, etc. The preset sending mechanism includes preset logic and algorithms, etc., such as an application platform that dynamically determines the direction of data flow by configuring rules, event triggering, or data analysis. The application platform includes an alarm platform and an analysis platform, etc. When the data is alarm data, the alarm data is sent to the alarm platform, and when the data is energy efficiency analysis data, the data is sent to the analysis platform.

[0042] The data center energy management system interface aggregation device disclosed in this embodiment also includes a microservice registration center; the microservice registration center is used to store registration information of all application platforms; The interface aggregation microservice is used to extract the registration information of the application platform from the microservice registration center, and send the set format data to the determined application platform according to the extracted registration information of the application platform.

[0043] In addition, the microservice registration center is also used to store the registration information of all devices; The device adapter plug-in is used to verify the received device data based on the device's registration information.

[0044] In order to realize dynamic modification and update of the database, this embodiment also sets up a multi-data source connection pool component and a data source management microservice.

[0045] The data source management microservice is used to centrally manage all data source configuration information. When the data source configuration information changes, it can automatically notify the multi-data source connection pool component to ensure that the data source connection information is always up to date.

[0046] This embodiment also includes a data source management microservice extension interface; the data source management microservice extension interface is used to input data source configuration information into the data source management microservice.

[0047] The data source management microservice extension interface is also used to query the data source configuration information stored in the data source management microservice.

[0048] The data source management microservice of this embodiment uses a database or memory storage to save data source configuration information. The data source management microservice sends a message to the multi-data source connection pool component through a message middleware or an event bus.

[0049] The message middleware proposed in this embodiment has mechanisms such as persistence and retry, and has the function of decoupling data source configuration update and connection acquisition, which can ensure that messages can be delivered reliably. Through the message middleware, the data source management microservice can asynchronously notify the multi-data source connection pool component when the configuration is updated.

[0050] The multi-data source connection pool component is responsible for managing and maintaining a unified connection pool to multiple different data sources (such as databases, APIs, etc.). Users can use this component to efficiently obtain and manage the connection objects of the required data sources to perform data operations.

[0051] The multi-data source connection pool component of this embodiment is also used to store multiple connection pools. When a message sent by the data source management microservice is received, a connection pool is selected from the stored multiple connection pools, and the database connection is updated through the selected connection pool.

[0052] This embodiment also includes a multi-data source link pool component extension interface; The multi-data source connection pool component extension interface is used to input the connection pool into the multi-data source connection pool component to modify and increase the multiple connection pools stored in the multi-data source connection pool component.
