Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of data center energy-saving technology, and in particular to a method and device for constructing a multi-dimensional coupled data center refrigeration system simulation. Background Art
[0002] Data centers, as core infrastructure hosting servers, storage, and network equipment, continue to expand in scale amidst the wave of digitalization. Their high-density computing power generates enormous amounts of heat, resulting in cooling systems accounting for as much as 37% of energy consumption, becoming the second largest energy consumer after IT equipment. With the widespread adoption of intelligent computing technology and hardware upgrades, the power consumption of a single rack has surged from 1.5kW to 15kW. The proportion of electricity consumed by data centers nationwide has increased from 1.0% of total electricity consumption in 2009 to over 5.0% in 2024. To address this energy challenge, new large-scale data centers are required to reduce their Power Use Effectiveness (PUE) from 1.5 to below 1.3 by 2025. This requires promoting cooling system optimization and green technology innovation to achieve a dynamic balance between computing power growth and carbon neutrality goals. To achieve this energy consumption control, AI and big data technologies are needed to fine-tune and control cooling equipment. This process often requires extensive data support. Due to the limited availability of actual operational and maintenance data and its significant limitations, simulation of data center cooling systems has become the primary means of acquiring this data. Furthermore, due to experimental limitations, some phenomena cannot be fully captured when studying the overall performance of data center cooling systems and the thermal characteristics of computer rooms. Therefore, simulations of both the data center cooling system and the computer room are necessary to investigate potential phenomena within the cooling system and the computer room. Traditional data center cooling system simulation methods have the following shortcomings: ① One-dimensional data center cooling system models struggle to capture localized overheating and airflow uniformity caused by uneven heat and cold distribution within the computer room; ② Three-dimensional computer room CFD simulations cannot capture the energy consumption of the entire cooling system, nor can they capture the system-level energy consumption characteristics of each cooling system component. Summary of the Invention
