Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy regulation, and particularly to a ship energy optimization regulation system based on an Internet of Things edge gateway. Background Art
[0002] Ship energy consumption management is a system integration method specifically for optimizing the energy use efficiency of ships. It aims to achieve refined monitoring and management of ship energy consumption through data collection, analysis, optimization, and control technologies, so as to solve the problems existing in traditional energy consumption management, including the lack of real-time dynamic adjustment functions / means, single energy efficiency optimization means, etc. It can effectively help shipping enterprises reduce operating costs, improve environmental compliance, and accelerate the transformation to green shipping.
[0003] The limitations of existing ship energy consumption management systems in terms of real-time performance, cost, and technical complexity have restricted their wide application in the shipping industry. Most ship energy consumption management systems rely on cloud platforms for data storage and analysis. For example, a big data integration platform for intelligent ships disclosed in the patent document with the publication number CN113408941B uses cloud computing for ship energy consumption management. Although cloud platforms have powerful computing capabilities and storage capacities, during ship navigation, especially during ocean voyages, network connections are very likely to be unstable, resulting in data transmission delays or interruptions, and real-time performance cannot be guaranteed.
[0004] In addition, traditional ship energy consumption management systems support limited industrial protocols, and there are usually various types of devices on ships, such as main engines, auxiliary engines, boilers, power management systems, etc. These devices may use different communication protocols, such as Modbus, CAN bus, NMEA 2000, etc. To integrate the data of these devices, additional gateways or protocol conversion software usually need to be added. This not only increases the complexity and cost of the project, but also may introduce additional failure points and reduce the reliability of the system. Summary of the Invention
