Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy conservation and consumption reduction, and specifically relates to an energy-saving optimization method, device, storage medium and electronic device for a hybrid refrigeration system in a data center. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, as the core infrastructure for information processing and storage in modern society, the scale and quantity of data centers are constantly expanding. A large number of IT devices are installed in data centers, and a large amount of energy is consumed to maintain their normal operation. Among them, the energy consumption of the refrigeration system usually accounts for about 40% of the total energy consumption of the data center and is an important part of the operating energy consumption of the data center. Therefore, how to optimize the operation of the data center refrigeration system and improve the energy efficiency of the refrigeration system has become the key to energy conservation and consumption reduction in data centers.
[0003] The refrigeration system of a data center usually consists of multiple key components, including chillers, cooling towers, water pumps, etc. The chiller is the core equipment of the refrigeration system, and its energy consumption accounts for 50% to 70% of the total energy consumption of the entire refrigeration system. The operating efficiency of the chiller is affected by various factors, such as the partial load rate (PLR), cooling water temperature, etc. The energy consumption of auxiliary equipment such as cooling towers and water pumps cannot be ignored, and their energy consumption accounts for 20% to 30% of the total energy consumption of the refrigeration system. The energy consumption of the cooling tower is mainly related to the cooling water flow rate and the wet bulb temperature, while the energy consumption of the water pump is closely related to the water flow rate and the head.
[0004] In related technologies, some energy-saving optimizations of data center refrigeration systems focus on the application of new cooling technologies, such as high-efficiency heat dissipation solutions like liquid cooling, indirect evaporative cooling, and phase change material cooling. Although this method can significantly reduce the energy consumption of the data center refrigeration system, this energy-saving optimization method is only applicable to newly built data centers, and for existing data centers, they need to be rebuilt. On the one hand, it requires additional construction costs, and on the other hand, it may cause the data center to stop operating, affecting the normal operation of the data center.
[0005] Therefore, some energy-saving optimizations of data center refrigeration systems focus more on the optimization of the control strategy of the data center refrigeration system. A common optimization method is to improve the overall energy efficiency by adjusting the load distribution of the chillers. For example, the optimal chiller loading (OCL) method is used to minimize the total energy consumption by calculating the load distribution of multiple chillers. This method mainly focuses on the operating efficiency of the chillers but does not consider the synergistic effect of the water energy storage unit and the utilization of natural cold sources.
[0006] In addition, some studies have considered the collaborative optimization of water-cooled energy storage equipment and chillers to further reduce energy consumption. For example, by storing cold energy using water-cooled energy storage equipment when natural cold sources are abundant and releasing cold energy when natural cold sources are scarce, the operating energy consumption can be reduced. This method achieves better energy-saving effects by adjusting the charging and discharging strategies of water-cooled energy storage equipment and combining with the operation mode switching of chillers. However, most of these methods are based on static optimization models and lack dynamic prediction and real-time adjustment capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0085] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0086] By providing an energy-saving optimization method, device, storage medium, and electronic device for a data center hybrid refrigeration system, embodiments of the present application solve the technical problem of lacking dynamic prediction and real-time adjustment capabilities.
[0087] Embodiments of the present application aim to propose an energy-saving optimization method for a data center hybrid refrigeration system based on Receding-Horizon Control (RHC). The general idea is as follows:
[0088] First, determine the optimal number of enabled water-side evaporative cooling units based on the real-time cooling load demand of the data center, and determine the operating mode (mechanical refrigeration, hybrid refrigeration, natural refrigeration) of the evaporative cooling unit based on the current ambient wet-bulb temperature.
[0089] Second, obtain the real-time cooling load demand of the data center and the initial chilled water storage capacity of the chilled water storage unit. Taking the minimum energy consumption of the data center hybrid refrigeration system as the goal, perform energy-saving optimization on the data center refrigeration system to obtain the optimal partial load ratio of the main unit of the chiller, chilled water flow rate, cooling water flow rate, operating mode of the chilled water storage unit, and chilled water storage / discharge capacity of the chilled water storage unit at the current moment.
[0090] Finally, use the Receding-Horizon Control (RHC) method. Through the rolling optimization method, continuously update the prediction model to ensure that in each future time step, the system can meet the cooling load demand with the lowest energy consumption.

[0091] To better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementation manners.
[0092] Example 1:
[0093] As Figure 1 shown, an energy-saving optimization method for a data center hybrid refrigeration system is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The data center hybrid refrigeration system includes a water-side evaporative cooling unit and a water thermal energy storage unit, and includes:
[0094] S1. During different time periods of a scheduling cycle, obtain the real-time cooling load demand of the data center and the real-time ambient wet-bulb temperature in the area where it is located; and obtain the initial cooling storage capacity of the water thermal energy storage unit;
[0095] S2. Based on the real-time cooling load demand, determine the number of enabled water-side evaporative cooling units during the scheduling cycle; and based on the real-time ambient wet-bulb temperature, determine the operating modes of the water-side evaporative cooling units during different time periods;
[0096] S3. Based on the number of enabled water-side evaporative cooling units and the operating modes of the water-side evaporative cooling units during the current time period, in combination with the corresponding real-time cooling storage capacity, with the goal of minimizing the energy consumption of the data center hybrid refrigeration system, construct an energy-saving optimization model;
[0097] S4. Continuously update the energy-saving optimization model by using the rolling horizon control (RHC) method, and solve to obtain the optimal partial load ratio of the main unit of the chiller, chilled water flow rate, cooling water flow rate, water thermal energy storage operation mode, and cooling storage capacity and cooling release amount of the water thermal energy storage during the current time period until the entire scheduling cycle is traversed.
[0098] In the embodiment of the present invention, by optimizing the control strategy of the data center hybrid refrigeration system, the operating efficiency of the refrigeration system is improved and the energy consumption is reduced. Different from applying new cooling technologies, the proposed method is applicable to existing data centers without the need for large-scale equipment transformation, thus avoiding additional construction costs and downtime risks.
[0099] Moreover, the embodiment of the present invention performs real-time optimization by using updated environmental and system state parameters to determine the optimal operating parameters and dynamically adjust the system to ensure efficient, stable, and energy-saving operation under different working conditions.
[0100] It should be noted that the following provides an example of a feasible framework of a data center hybrid refrigeration system in the embodiment of the present invention:
[0101] The data center hybrid refrigeration system consists of several cooling towers, plate heat exchangers, cooling water pumps, variable frequency pumps, chilled water pumps, chillers, and a cold storage tank. Among them, the water-side evaporative cooling unit is jointly composed of a chiller and a plate heat exchanger, and the water cold storage unit consists of a cold storage tank.
[0102] At the same time, an exemplary operation strategy of the data center hybrid refrigeration system is given:
[0103] In the embodiment of the present invention, it is set that the water-side evaporative cooling unit is the main cold source in the data center hybrid refrigeration system. Before the optimization starts, based on the data center cooling load prediction data and the equipment parameters of the water-side evaporative cooling unit, the number of initial water-side evaporative cooling units to be started can be determined to ensure that the water-side evaporative cooling unit is in an efficient operation range. In addition, according to the ambient wet bulb temperature condition, the water-side evaporative cooling unit can flexibly switch among three modes: mechanical refrigeration, hybrid refrigeration, and natural refrigeration, so as to make the most of natural cold sources and reduce the power consumption of the refrigeration system. Among them:
[0104] A. Mechanical refrigeration mode of the water-side evaporative cooling unit
[0105] When the ambient wet bulb temperature is greater than the first preset temperature (for example, 20°C), the water-side evaporative cooling unit adopts mechanical refrigeration, and the chilled water return is cooled separately by the chiller. In this mode, the operating energy consumption of the water-side evaporative cooling unit is the highest.
[0106] B. Hybrid refrigeration mode of the water-side evaporative cooling unit
[0107] When the ambient wet bulb temperature is between the second preset temperature and the first preset temperature (for example, 14 - 20°C), the water-side evaporative cooling unit adopts hybrid refrigeration, and the chilled water return is precooled by the plate heat exchanger first and then cooled by the chiller. In this mode, the operating energy consumption of the water-side evaporative cooling unit is the second highest.
[0108] C. Natural refrigeration mode of the water-side evaporative cooling unit
[0109] When the ambient wet bulb temperature is less than the second preset temperature (for example, 14°C), the water-side evaporative cooling unit adopts natural refrigeration, and the chilled water return is cooled separately by the plate heat exchanger. In this mode, the operating energy consumption of the water-side evaporative cooling unit is the lowest.
[0110] Furthermore, the water cold storage unit can switch among three operating modes: cold storage, cold release, and cold standby according to the overall cooling demand of the system; among them:
[0111] A. When the cold supply in the system is greater than the cold demand, the water cold storage unit switches to the cold storage mode, and the chilled water cooled by the hybrid cooling system is supplied to both the cold storage tank and the computer room at the same time.
[0112] B. When the internal cold supply in the system is less than the cold demand, the water thermal energy storage unit switches to the cold release mode, and the cooling water supplied to the computer room is jointly replenished by the hybrid cooling system and the thermal energy storage tank.
[0113] C. When the internal cold supply in the system is equal to the cold demand, the water thermal energy storage unit switches to the cold standby mode, and the cooling water supplied by the hybrid cooling system is directly supplied to the computer room without flowing through the thermal energy storage tank.
[0114] As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 a flowchart of an energy-saving optimization method for a data center hybrid cooling system is given.
[0115] Next, in combination with the relevant information of the data center hybrid cooling system and Figure 2 , each step of the above solution will be introduced in detail:
[0116] In step S1, within different time periods of the scheduling cycle, obtain the real-time cold load demand of the data center and the real-time ambient wet-bulb temperature of its location area; and obtain the initial cold storage capacity of the water thermal energy storage unit.
[0117] In step S2, based on the real-time cold load demand, determine the number of enabled water-side evaporative cooling units within the scheduling cycle; and based on the real-time ambient wet-bulb temperature, determine the operating modes of the water-side evaporative cooling units in different time periods.
[0118] In this step: The number of enabled water-side evaporative cooling units within the scheduling cycle can be determined by dividing the real-time cold load demand by the cooling capacity of a single water-side evaporative cooling unit; and based on the real-time ambient wet-bulb temperature, according to the switching principles of the three modes of mechanical refrigeration, hybrid refrigeration, and natural refrigeration introduced above, the operating modes of the water-side evaporative cooling units in different time periods are determined.
[0119] In step S3, based on the number of enabled water-side evaporative cooling units and the operating mode of the water-side evaporative cooling units in the current time period, combined with the corresponding real-time cold storage capacity, with the goal of minimizing the energy consumption of the data center hybrid cooling system, an energy-saving optimization model is constructed.
[0120] In this step, first, in combination with the data center hybrid cooling system framework, according to the physical characteristics of each refrigeration device, construct its corresponding energy consumption and heat transfer models, and then construct the energy-saving optimization model. Among them,
[0121] First, in the embodiments of the present invention, in combination with the data center hybrid cooling system framework, according to the physical characteristics of each refrigeration device, construct its corresponding energy consumption and heat transfer models as follows:

[0125] (2) Variable-frequency pump energy consumption model:
[0126]
[0127] Among them, P pump,t is the power of the variable-frequency pump (kW) during the t period; H P,t is the head (m) of the variable-frequency pump during the t period; η P,t is the efficiency (%) of the variable-frequency pump during the t period; G P,t is the flow rate (m3 / s) of the variable-frequency pump during the t period; w t is the speed ratio of the variable-frequency pump during the t period, that is, the ratio between the current speed and the rated speed of the pump; η M,t and η VFD,t are respectively the motor efficiency and the frequency converter efficiency (%) during the t period, and their values are related to w t ; b1, b2, b3, c1, c2, and c3 are all performance constants of the variable-frequency pump, which can be obtained by fitting sample data or measured data.

[0145] On the second hand, considering the environmental conditions and the cold load demand comprehensively, and combining with the operation strategy of the data center hybrid refrigeration system introduced above, an energy-saving optimization model is constructed, specifically including:
[0146] Objective function:
[0147]
[0148] Among them, N is the number of enabled water-side evaporative cooling units.
[0149] Constraint conditions:
[0150] A. Cooling and heating load balance constraint:
[0151] Q demand,t = NQ chw,t -γ1Q cs,t +(1 - γ1)Q cr,t
[0152]
[0153] Among them, γ1 represents a binary variable of the operation mode of the water thermal energy storage unit. When it is 0, it means that the ice thermal energy storage unit is in the cold release state; when it is 1, it means that the water thermal energy storage unit is in the cold storage state.
[0154] The embodiment of the present invention considers the collaborative optimization of the water-side evaporative cooling unit and the water thermal energy storage unit. While determining the optimal operation plan of the water-side evaporative cooling unit, the energy-saving optimization model of the data center refrigeration system dynamically adjusts the cold storage / cold release mode and the cold storage / cold release capacity of the water thermal energy storage unit according to the surplus degree of the natural cold source, and specifically quantifies and expresses it through the above binary variable γ1.

[0170] In summary, the energy-saving optimization model of the data center hybrid refrigeration system established in the embodiments of the present invention takes the minimum energy consumption of the data center hybrid refrigeration system as the objective function, and at the same time considers constraint conditions such as cold load balance, chiller operation, cooling water pump operation, and water-cooled energy storage unit operation, so as to realize the efficient and energy-saving operation of the refrigeration system.
[0171] In step S4, the rolling horizon control (RHC) method is used to continuously update the energy-saving optimization model, and the optimal partial load ratio of the main chiller, chilled water flow rate, cooling water flow rate, water-cooled energy storage operation mode, and cooling storage capacity and cooling release amount of the water-cooled energy storage are obtained by solving until the entire scheduling cycle is traversed.
[0172] Rolling Horizon Control (RHC) is an optimization strategy widely used in dynamic systems. It determines the current input by optimizing a finite time window in the future at each moment, then executes this input and immediately updates the optimization problem for the next time step. The advantage of this method is that it considers the future behavior of the system, thus enabling better performance and robustness.
[0173] In this step, the rolling horizon control (RHC) method is adopted. In each time period, real-time optimization is carried out according to the updated environmental and system state parameters to determine the optimal operating parameters of the equipment and dynamically adjust them to ensure that the system can operate efficiently and energy-savingly under different working conditions. The specific steps are as Figure 2 shown:
[0174] In Figure 2 , exemplarily, let the time step be 1 h and an optimization period be 24 h. The optimization starts at t = 1 and 24 rounds of iteration are carried out within an optimization period. Whenever a round of optimization ends, the result of the first moment of this round of optimization is output for actual control. At 1 h after the start of the optimization, t = 2, and the optimization time domain becomes 23 h, and so on.
[0175] Moreover, in this step, based on the obtained data center environmental data, load demand, and equipment parameters, solvers such as the software MATLAB can also be used in this step to solve the above energy-saving optimization model. Finally, the optimal partial load ratio of the chiller host, chilled water flow rate, cooling water flow rate, water storage cooling operation mode, and water storage cooling capacity and cold release amount within the current time period are obtained. The relevant operations are repeatedly executed until the entire scheduling cycle is traversed.
[0176] Continuing with the above example, starting from t = 1, every 1 hour, solve to obtain the optimal partial load ratio PLR of the chiller host within the corresponding time period. t Chilled water flow rate Cooling water flow rate The variable γ1 related to the water storage cooling operation mode and the water storage cooling capacity Q cs,t Cold release amount Q cr,t until t = 24.
