Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data center energy management. Specifically, it relates to a multi-objective energy consumption optimization and heat dissipation intelligent regulation device for data centers. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, the scale and quantity of data centers are increasing continuously, and their energy consumption problems are becoming increasingly prominent. The energy consumption of data centers mainly comes from IT equipment, cooling systems, and power supply systems, among which the energy consumption of cooling systems accounts for as high as 30%-40%.

[0003] Traditional data center cooling systems usually adopt fixed cooling strategies and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to real-time loads and environmental changes, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency.

[0004] In recent years, some intelligent cooling technologies have begun to be applied to data centers, such as local cooling based on temperature sensors, predictive cooling based on artificial intelligence, etc. However, there are still some problems in the actual application of these technologies. For example, although local cooling can reduce the temperature of local hotspots, it may lead to a decrease in the overall cooling efficiency; although predictive cooling can adjust the cooling strategy in advance, it has high requirements for data accuracy and algorithms, and is difficult to implement.

[0005] In addition, the energy consumption optimization of data centers usually only focuses on a single objective, such as reducing cooling energy consumption or improving the energy efficiency of IT equipment, while ignoring the balance between multiple objectives. For example, excessive reduction of cooling energy consumption may cause the temperature of IT equipment to rise, affecting the performance and lifespan of the equipment; excessive improvement of the energy efficiency of IT equipment may cause an increase in the load of the cooling system, instead increasing the total energy consumption.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can achieve multi-objective energy consumption optimization and heat dissipation intelligent regulation to improve the overall energy efficiency of data centers. Summary of the Invention

Realize multi-objective energy consumption optimization and heat dissipation intelligent control, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the data center.

[0035] In this embodiment, at least one or more of the temperature sensor 3, the humidity sensor, the monitoring system, and the third-party data interface are set in each of the said objectives. Through such a setting, the data in each objective can be collected and then globally regulated and managed.

[0036] In this embodiment, multiple said objectives are set in the same accommodation space, wherein an independent temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are set in the accommodation space for collecting environmental data. Through such a setting, the temperature and humidity information in the accommodation space is collected separately, and by collecting this information, the influence of the temperature and humidity conditions in the accommodation space on energy consumption is judged. Through the collection and analysis of a large amount of data at different times, more accurate regulation of energy consumption output can be realized.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to further provide an arrangement method for the temperature sensor 3, the temperature sensor 3 is movably arranged in an orbit 1, and the orbit 1 is arranged around a plurality of the targets to achieve comprehensive temperature acquisition. Since there are large temperature differences at different positions of each target and between different targets, with such an arrangement, the temperature sensor 3 can move along with the arranged orbit 1, and can collect temperature information at more positions, avoiding the situation where insufficient energy consumption output is caused by local overheating, or avoiding the situation where excessive cooling occurs due to excessive local energy consumption output.

[0038] In this embodiment, a self-propelled slider is snap-fitted inside the orbit 1, and the temperature sensor 3 is installed on the side of the self-propelled slider. The self-propelled slider moves on the orbit 1 by itself, carrying the temperature sensor 3 to move to different positions to achieve more comprehensive temperature monitoring.

By driving the roller 5 to rotate through the driving motor 4, since the roller 5 is close to the inner wall of the orbit 1, the U-shaped block 2 can be driven to move on the orbit 1. The structure of the orbit 1 can be arranged according to the shape of the target and the spatial position relationship between the targets, not limited to a circular shape, and can also be a spiral shape or other shapes.

[0040] In this embodiment, guide grooves 6 are arranged on both sides of the orbit 1, and guide blocks 9 that cooperate with and slide in the guide grooves 6 are arranged inside the U-shaped block 2. Through the cooperation of the guide grooves 6 and the guide blocks 9, the U-shaped block 2 can move better under the guidance of the orbit 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, conductive sheets are arranged in the guide grooves 6, and conductive electrodes that are in electrical contact with the conductive sheets are arranged on the guide blocks 9. Through such an arrangement, the conductive sheets and the conductive electrodes are in contact and conduct electricity, and can supply power to the power supply devices on the U-shaped block 2. The temperature sensor 3 on the U-shaped block 2 is communicatively connected to the data acquisition module through wireless transmission for receiving and transmitting data.

[0042] In this embodiment, a plurality of the self-propelled sliders are provided. Each self-propelled slider is provided with a temperature sensor 3 to reduce the measurement interval and improve the temperature measurement efficiency.

[0043] In this embodiment, a plurality of extension rods 7 are fixedly connected to the outside of the orbit 1, and telescopic rods 8 are arranged at the bottoms of the extension rods 7. Through such an arrangement, the overall height of the orbit 1 can be increased to measure temperature information at different heights and improve the temperature measurement range.
