[0020] Example 1: refer to Figure 1 The technical solution provided by the present invention is: a green energy-saving system and method for a flywheel UPS and a backup generator for a data center, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Establish a flywheel charging and discharging optimization strategy; specifically, the following steps are included: Collect the working state parameters of the flywheel energy storage system and the generator according to the preset collection frequency, and form a working state parameter set after preprocessing; Constructing a dynamic optimization model, obtaining the flywheel state parameters and the generator state parameters from the working state parameter set, and using the flywheel state parameters and the generator state parameters as input variables, inputting them into the dynamic optimization model; including: Constructing a dynamic optimization model: ; in, Indicates that the generator is The output power at the moment, Represents the generator start-stop decision parameter , 、 and Respectively represent the flywheel Charging power, discharging power and load power at each moment; Respectively The grid electricity cost coefficient, fuel cost coefficient, charging and discharging time interval, power generation energy consumption coefficient and start-stop energy consumption weight at each moment; , Respectively represent the flywheel Energy storage and nuclear power status at all times; Respectively represent the minimum output power and maximum output power of the generator; Represent the charging weight and discharging weight respectively; represents the energy consumption cost; The dynamic optimization model transforms the energy cost minimization problem into the mixed integer linear programming MILP form; Use the solver to solve and obtain the control variables 、 and .

[0021] Step 2: In the flywheel charge and discharge optimization strategy, the nonlinear mechanical loss and charge and discharge current characteristic analysis in the flywheel energy storage system are introduced to optimize the flywheel charge and discharge strategy to reduce the energy consumption of the flywheel energy storage system.

[0027] Example 2: If the current fluctuation does not exceed the preset fluctuation threshold ( ), that is, the current smoothness does not exceed the preset current smoothness threshold, then the working state of the diesel engine (generator) and the flywheel energy storage system can be controlled using the corresponding control variables through the technical solution of embodiment one; If the current fluctuation exceeds the preset fluctuation threshold, that is, the current smoothness exceeds the preset current smoothness threshold, how to optimize the operating state of the flywheel and generator to achieve energy saving. To solve the above problem, we propose the following technical solution based on the first embodiment: Based on the current values predicted by the prediction model for a period of time in the future, the current smoothness is calculated. When the current smoothness exceeds the preset fluctuation threshold, the generator start-stop state and the operating state of the flywheel energy storage system are adjusted to make the current smoothness less than the fluctuation threshold.

Indicates the generator power ramp time; By adjusting Control the flywheel deceleration rate and suppress current mutation; Actual flywheel speed ,in Indicates the flywheel speed at the time point when the current smoothness is detected to exceed the preset fluctuation threshold.

[0028] For example, predicting a future moment The current fluctuation is 120A, which is greater than the preset fluctuation threshold of 80A. Optimization control is required.
