By collecting historical energy consumption data as training samples, the neural network model is trained to predict energy consumption and adjust the operating parameters. Next, the card edge control algorithm is applied to monitor the operating status of the air conditioning system in real time, and the operating parameters are dynamically adjusted to ensure the comfort of the indoor environment while reducing energy consumption. The algorithm monitors indoor and outdoor temperatures, air conditioning operating time, APF and other data in real time, and judges the comfort of the indoor environment based on the monitoring data, and then adjusts the air conditioning operating parameters to perform online diagnosis and optimization of the air conditioning terminal energy efficiency.

[0085] Preferably, step S1 includes the following steps:

[0086] Step S11: Obtain the terminal air conditioning system of the data center;

[0087] Step S12: measuring the power consumption of IT equipment in the computer room on the terminal air conditioning system of the data center to obtain power consumption data of IT equipment in the computer room;

[0088] Step S13: measuring the power consumption of the terminal air-conditioning equipment of the data center terminal air-conditioning system to obtain the power consumption data of the terminal air-conditioning equipment;

[0089] Step S14: Integrate the power consumption data of the IT equipment in the computer room and the power consumption data of the terminal air-conditioning equipment to obtain the equipment power consumption data.

[0090] In this embodiment of the present invention, real-time monitoring of the data center's terminal air conditioning system is first achieved by deploying smart sensors and smart meters. Smart sensors collect environmental parameters within the computer room, such as temperature and humidity, while smart meters are installed at the input and output terminals of the UPS (uninterrupted power supply) to measure the power consumption of the power supply system. Monitoring of the cooling system's power consumption includes power consumption by the compressor, chilled water pump, cooling water system, and terminal chilled water system in the indoor air conditioning terminal and water-cooled refrigeration system. Next, to measure the power consumption of the computer room's IT equipment, a high-precision power quality analyzer is used to monitor IT equipment in real time. This instrument provides detailed power parameters, including current, voltage, power factor, and energy consumption. Power consumption of the terminal air conditioning equipment is measured by installing meters at key nodes in the air conditioning system, including but not limited to cooling towers, chillers, cooling pumps, and refrigeration pumps. The power consumption data of the computer room's IT equipment and the terminal air conditioning equipment are then integrated, a step involving data fusion technology. By constructing a multimodal data integration model, the collected power data is fed into the model for weighting, feature fusion, and data dimensionality reduction. Finally, the data center energy consumption analysis system conducts a comprehensive analysis of the collected power consumption data of IT equipment and air-conditioning equipment to obtain the PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) and CLF (Cooling Load Factor) values ​​of each data center. These values ​​are key indicators for measuring data center energy efficiency.

[0091] Preferably, step S14 includes the following steps:

[0092] Step S141: Pre-processing the power consumption data of IT equipment in the computer room and the power consumption data of the terminal air-conditioning equipment to obtain equipment pre-processing data;

[0093] Step S142: performing feature synchronization on the device preprocessing data to obtain device feature synchronization data; performing feature alignment on the device feature synchronization data to generate device feature alignment data;

[0094] Step S143: performing structured inspection on the device feature alignment data to obtain structured inspection data; performing data fusion on the structured inspection data to obtain device power consumption data.

[0095] In this embodiment of the present invention, first, during the data preprocessing phase, data cleaning techniques are used to process raw electricity usage data. This includes steps such as removing outliers, filling missing values, and normalizing data. For example, mean filling is used to handle missing current readings, and voltage data is normalized using the Z-score normalization method to eliminate the influence of different dimensions. Next, during the feature synchronization phase, a multimodal data integration model is used to time-align data from different sensors to ensure consistency across time series across different data sources. For example, temperature sensor data is synchronized with power data recorded by a power quality analyzer through timestamp matching for subsequent analysis. During the feature alignment phase, cross-modal alignment techniques are used to map features from different modalities to the same feature space for easy comparison and analysis. For example, principal component analysis (PCA) is used to perform dimensionality reduction on electricity usage data from IT equipment and air conditioning equipment to extract key features. Subsequently, during the structured verification phase, structured verification is performed on the aligned device feature data to ensure data consistency and integrity. For example, a data model is constructed to verify that the data conforms to the expected format and type, eliminating data records that do not meet structured requirements. Finally, in the data fusion phase, data fusion technology is used to integrate the structured, verified data to form a comprehensive view of device electricity usage. For example, a weighted fusion algorithm can be used to assign different weights to data from different sources based on their reliability and accuracy, thereby synthesizing the final device electricity usage data.

[0096] Preferably, step S2 includes the following steps:

[0097] Step S21: Analyze the device power consumption data in real time to obtain a power consumption data stream; extract key features from the power consumption data stream to obtain key power consumption parameters;

[0098] Step S22: Identify the power consumption pattern of the key power consumption parameters to obtain the power consumption behavior pattern; monitor the power consumption trend of the power consumption behavior pattern to obtain power consumption trend data;

[0099] Step S23: quantifying the electricity utilization efficiency of the electricity consumption trend data to generate an efficiency evaluation index;

[0100] Step S24: performing an energy efficiency evaluation on the computer room based on the utilization efficiency evaluation index to obtain an evaluation result of the power efficiency of the computer room.

[0101] In this embodiment of the present invention, first, equipment power usage data is analyzed in real time to generate a power data stream. This step uses power quality analyzers such as the E6500 and VICTOR5000, which can monitor and record parameters such as current, voltage, and power in real time to generate power data streams. These data streams contain detailed power usage information for IT equipment and air conditioning equipment at different time points. Next, key features are extracted from the power data streams to obtain key power parameters. Data preprocessing techniques, such as missing data handling and data merging, ensure data integrity and consistency. Feature extraction techniques, such as principal component analysis (PCA), are then used to extract key power parameters, such as peak current and average power, from the large amount of raw data. Subsequently, power pattern recognition is performed on these key power parameters to obtain power usage patterns. In this step, machine learning algorithms, such as K-Means clustering, are applied to perform pattern recognition on the power parameters to distinguish different power usage behaviors, such as high-load and low-load periods. Furthermore, power usage trends are monitored based on the power usage patterns to obtain power usage trend data. Using time series analysis techniques, such as structural equation models, we monitor the changing trends of electricity usage over time, generating electricity usage trend data. This electricity usage trend data is then used to quantify electricity utilization efficiency and generate efficiency evaluation indicators. Using data fusion technology, we combine electricity usage data from various sources to quantify electricity efficiency and generate evaluation indicators such as the energy efficiency ratio (EER) and coefficient of performance (COP). Finally, we evaluate the energy efficiency of the computer room using the efficiency evaluation indicators to obtain the evaluation results. Using a weighted fusion algorithm, we comprehensively consider multiple evaluation indicators to evaluate the electricity usage efficiency of the computer room, obtaining final evaluation results, such as the Power Use Effectiveness (PUE) value, to assess the energy efficiency level of the computer room.

[0102] Preferably, step S24 includes the following steps:

[0103] Step S241: normalizing the utilization efficiency evaluation index to obtain a standardized evaluation index; and assigning weights to the standardized evaluation index to obtain a weighted evaluation index;

[0104] Step S242: performing a comprehensive calculation on the weighted evaluation indicators to obtain a comprehensive score of the power efficiency of the computer room; and classifying the comprehensive score of the power efficiency of the computer room to obtain a level evaluation of the power efficiency of the computer room;

[0105] Step S243: presenting the results of the level evaluation of the power efficiency of the computer room, and obtaining the evaluation results of the power efficiency of the computer room.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present invention, the utilization efficiency evaluation index is first normalized to obtain a standardized evaluation index. In this step, the Min-Max normalization method is used to scale the original data to the interval [0, 1]. Next, the standardized evaluation index is weighted to obtain a weighted evaluation index. The weight assignment is based on the importance of each index to energy efficiency. For example, the PUE value is assigned a higher weight because it directly reflects the energy efficiency level of the data center. The weight is determined through expert scoring or the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to ensure that the weight of each index reflects its relative importance in the overall evaluation. Then, the weighted evaluation index is comprehensively calculated to obtain a comprehensive score for the power efficiency of the computer room. In this step, the arithmetic mean method or the weighted harmonic mean method is used to combine the weighted indicators to obtain a comprehensive score that comprehensively reflects the power efficiency of the computer room. Furthermore, the comprehensive score of the power efficiency of the computer room is graded to obtain a grade evaluation of the power efficiency of the computer room. The ratings are categorized into several levels, such as "Excellent," "Good," "Fair," and "Poor," based on the numerical range of the scores. The specific grading criteria are set according to industry or internal company standards. Finally, the results of the computer room's electrical energy efficiency rating are presented, resulting in the evaluation results. In this step, data visualization technologies, such as D3.js combined with the React framework, are used to visually display the evaluation results in the form of charts, enabling operations and maintenance personnel to quickly understand the computer room's energy efficiency status and make appropriate optimization decisions.

[0107] Preferably, step S3 includes the following steps:

[0108] Step S31: setting a threshold for the power efficiency evaluation results of the computer room to obtain preliminary screening data of inefficient computer rooms;

[0110] Step S33: Prioritize the preliminarily screened inefficient computer room data based on the inefficient parameter elimination data to obtain a priority list of inefficient computer rooms; extract computer rooms with low energy efficiency from the priority list of inefficient computer rooms to obtain a list of computer rooms to be optimized;

[0111] Step S34: Optimize the terminal air-conditioning operating parameters for the list of computer rooms to be optimized to obtain the air-conditioning operating optimization parameters.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present invention, a threshold is first set for the results of the computer room power efficiency evaluation to obtain preliminary data for inefficient computer rooms. In this step, the threshold is determined using the quantile method in statistics. For example, computer rooms with a PUE value greater than a certain percentile are defined as inefficient. Based on the distribution of computer room PUE values, a reasonable threshold, such as the 90th percentile, is determined. All computer rooms above this threshold are preliminarily identified as inefficient. Next, outliers are removed from the preliminarily screened inefficient computer room data to obtain inefficient parameter-removed data. This outlier removal process calculates the mean and standard deviation and sets a range (e.g., mean ± 3 times the standard deviation) to identify outliers. Values ​​outside this range are considered outliers and removed from the data set to ensure the accuracy of subsequent analysis. Then, the preliminarily screened inefficient computer room data is prioritized based on the inefficient parameter-removed data to obtain a priority list of inefficient computer rooms. In this step, a multi-objective optimization algorithm, such as NSGA-II, is used, which can simultaneously consider multiple optimization objectives to prioritize inefficient computer rooms. Factors considered during sorting include energy consumption, cost, and environmental impact. Furthermore, the priority list of inefficient computer rooms is extracted to identify computer rooms with low energy efficiency, resulting in a list of computer rooms to be optimized. In this step, clustering algorithms such as DBSCAN are used, which can cluster data based on density and identify computer rooms with low energy efficiency. By setting appropriate epsilon and min_samples parameters, the DBSCAN algorithm can identify computer rooms with low density, i.e., the computer rooms to be optimized. Finally, the terminal air conditioning operating parameters of the list of computer rooms to be optimized are optimized to obtain the optimized air conditioning operating parameters. The optimization process uses a genetic algorithm, which continuously iterates and optimizes the air conditioning operating parameters through steps such as population initialization, fitness evaluation, selection, crossover, and mutation to achieve the goal of reducing energy consumption. For example, by adjusting parameters such as temperature setting values ​​and operating time, the optimal operating parameter combination is found to maximize energy efficiency.

[0117] Step S344: Adjust the operating parameters of the list of computer rooms to be optimized based on the performance indicator optimization data to obtain air conditioning operation optimization parameters.

[0118] In this embodiment of the present invention, initial operating parameters of the terminal air conditioners in the list of computer rooms to be optimized are first collected to obtain basic air conditioner operating data. In this step, building automation systems (BAS) or data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software are used to collect real-time operating parameters of the terminal air conditioners, including but not limited to compressor speed, inverter frequency, fan speed, and surface cooling valve opening, using various sensors installed on the air conditioning systems, such as temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors. Next, performance analysis is performed on the basic air conditioner operating data to obtain operating performance indicators. In this step, big data analysis techniques are used to statistically analyze and calculate key performance indicators, such as energy efficiency ratio (EER), coefficient of performance (COP), and energy consumption. The key performance indicators are then optimized to obtain optimized performance indicator data. In this step, machine learning algorithms, such as neural networks or support vector machines (SVMs), are applied to perform pattern recognition and prediction on the performance indicators, identify key factors affecting energy efficiency, and propose optimization directions. Furthermore, based on the optimized performance indicator data, operating parameters are adjusted for the list of computer rooms to obtain optimized air conditioner operating parameters. In this step, genetic algorithms or particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms are used to iteratively search for optimal operating parameters, such as set temperature and wind speed, by simulating natural selection or group behavior to maximize energy efficiency.

[0119] Preferably, step S344 includes the following steps:

[0120] Step S3441: Identify factors affecting air conditioning energy efficiency based on the performance index optimization data to obtain an energy efficiency optimization target;

[0122] Step S3443: Dynamically adjust the list of computer rooms to be optimized according to the parameter adjustment mapping data to obtain computer room operation adjustment data;

[0123] Step S3444: Perform feedback loop optimization on the computer room operation adjustment data to obtain air conditioning operation optimization parameters.

[0124] In this embodiment of the present invention, factors influencing air conditioner energy efficiency are first identified within the performance indicator optimization data to obtain an energy efficiency optimization target. In this step, big data analysis techniques are employed to collect historical energy consumption data, including indoor and outdoor temperatures, air conditioner operating hours, and APF, and then a machine learning algorithm is used to establish an energy consumption prediction model. For example, data analysis revealed that the number of air supply levels and set temperature have a significant impact on air conditioner energy efficiency. Next, parameter association mapping is performed on the energy efficiency optimization target to obtain parameter adjustment mapping data. In this step, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used for parameter optimization. Key parameters include inertia weight, self-learning factor, and swarm learning factor. These parameters are adjusted to find the optimal air conditioner operating parameters. Then, the list of computer rooms to be optimized is dynamically adjusted based on the parameter adjustment mapping data to obtain computer room operation adjustment data. In this step, dynamic adjustment algorithms, such as DQN network parameter adjustment, are applied to achieve performance optimization. The DQN network continuously adjusts its strategy through reinforcement learning to adapt to the changing environment and optimize energy efficiency. Finally, a feedback loop optimization is performed on the computer room operation adjustment data to obtain the optimized air conditioner operating parameters. Feedback control mechanisms, such as the card-edge control algorithm, monitor the air conditioning system's operating status in real time and dynamically adjust operating parameters to ensure indoor comfort while reducing energy consumption. For example, real-time monitoring of indoor and outdoor temperatures, air conditioning operating hours, and APF data can be used to adjust air conditioning operating parameters such as temperature setpoints and fan speeds accordingly.

[0129] Step S44: Based on the energy consumption optimization verification result, energy utilization efficiency feedback adjustment is performed to obtain a terminal air-conditioning operation optimization report to perform air-conditioning terminal energy efficiency online diagnosis and optimization operations.

[0130] In this embodiment of the present invention, energy consumption data before and after the air conditioning operation optimization parameters are implemented is first compared to obtain energy consumption comparison data. In this step, a comprehensive energy management system is used to query energy consumption comparisons for different energy types within the query time period, by region, department, circuit, and network. This includes year-on-year, month-on-month, and horizontal comparisons. By logging into the energy management system platform, selecting the corresponding hierarchical dimension and energy type, and setting the query time dimension and range, the system automatically calculates and displays the energy consumption comparison results. Next, statistical analysis is performed on the energy consumption comparison data to obtain energy consumption statistics. Simultaneously, trends are identified within the energy consumption statistics to obtain energy consumption trend data. In this step, big data analysis techniques are used to conduct in-depth analysis of the collected energy consumption data, calculating the monthly year-on-year energy consumption of each energy source and visually displaying it through charts such as line charts, bar charts, and stacked graphs, with support for saving images to local storage. The effectiveness of the energy consumption trend analysis is then evaluated to obtain energy consumption optimization verification results. In this step, energy efficiency assessment and improvement methods, such as the energy efficiency ratio (EER), are applied to measure the performance of the electrical energy system, identify and quantify energy losses in the system, and provide improvement strategies. Finally, based on the energy consumption optimization verification results, energy efficiency feedback adjustments are made to generate an optimized terminal air conditioning operation report. In this step, data center air conditioning terminal cooling evaluation indicators and abnormality diagnosis methods are used to determine the real-time balance between cooling supply and demand in the computer room, quickly identify energy efficiency shortcomings of the computer room air conditioning terminal equipment, and achieve efficient and accurate cooling supply, thereby improving cooling utilization efficiency.

This system collects IT power consumption, terminal air cabinet power consumption, and operating parameters from each computer room, calculates each room's E-ACTE value, and determines the energy consumption of the computer room's air conditioning terminal, thereby generating energy consumption analysis data. Next, efficiency impact assessment is performed on the energy consumption analysis data to determine efficiency influencing factors. These efficiency influencing factors are then weighted to generate adjusted weighted data. This step utilizes a multi-objective optimization method based on a genetic algorithm. This method uses minimizing the system's annual total energy consumption and annual total operating costs as the objective function, with design variables such as the system's cooling capacity, heating capacity, ice storage capacity, and ground-source heat pump power. The optimization algorithm adjusts the weights of each efficiency influencing factor to minimize energy consumption and costs. The adjusted weights are then applied in a feedback loop to generate real-time optimized parameters. Simultaneously, the effectiveness of the real-time optimized parameters is monitored to generate a terminal air conditioning operation optimization report. By applying a neural network optimization algorithm and simulating human brain neurons, the air conditioning operating parameters can be automatically adjusted, and the operating status of the air conditioning system can be monitored and optimized in real time to ensure indoor environmental comfort while reducing energy consumption. Finally, the data center terminal air conditioning system is continuously optimized based on the terminal air conditioning operation optimization report to perform online diagnosis and optimization of the air conditioning terminal energy efficiency. In this step, an air conditioning system energy efficiency online detection and diagnosis analyzer and method are used to monitor and record the pressure, temperature, flow rate of the computer room pipeline and the power consumption data of the water pump, cooling tower, and unit in real time. The water pump efficiency, unit energy efficiency ratio, system energy efficiency ratio, water pump transmission and other data are calculated and analyzed. The analyzed data is compared with relevant data from similar computer rooms to analyze energy costs and the status of computer room equipment, analyze factors affecting energy efficiency, optimize the system's operating strategy, improve the system's overall energy efficiency, and reduce operating costs.
