Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy conservation and carbon reduction assessment, and more specifically, to an energy conservation and carbon reduction assessment method and system based on an urban rainwater collection system. Background Art
[0002] Guided by the "dual carbon" goals, energy conservation and emission reduction in urban water supply systems have become a key focus of green infrastructure transformation and upgrading. Rainwater harvesting (RWH), as a key alternative to traditional water sources in urban water supply systems, has played a significant role in alleviating urban water resource shortages, reducing drainage loads, and improving the ecological environment in recent years. Especially when deployed on a large scale, RWH systems can, to a certain extent, replace urban tap water supply, thereby achieving a synergistic effect of energy conservation and carbon emission reduction.
[0003] In this context, rationally quantifying the carbon emissions reductions and energy savings of rainwater harvesting systems is crucial. Existing technologies quantify and compare the carbon emissions of urban rainwater harvesting systems with those of traditional drainage systems by defining a carbon emission accounting boundary for rainwater harvesting systems. This carbon emission accounting boundary encompasses both temporal and spatial dimensions. The temporal boundary considers the entire lifecycle of the rainwater harvesting system, calculating carbon emissions from the construction, operation, and demolition and renovation phases. The spatial boundary, on the other hand, accounts for carbon emissions from rainfall throughout its entire process, from runoff formation, infiltration and collection, storage and control, to reuse. Existing technologies utilize a full lifecycle assessment approach to calculate carbon emissions for rainwater harvesting systems, avoiding the one-sided focus on carbon reduction during the operational phase. However, these technologies decompose the entire lifecycle of rainwater harvesting systems into multiple cycles, including material production and transportation, construction, and system maintenance. This results in high computational complexity and reliance on a large amount of existing local rainfall data and rainwater harvesting system utilization rates. This ignores key factors such as the randomness of rainfall and its uneven geographical distribution, making it difficult to generalize to other regions and limiting its universal applicability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems of high computational complexity and low universality in current energy-saving and carbon-reduction assessment methods for urban rainwater collection systems, the present invention proposes an energy-saving and carbon-reduction assessment method and system based on urban rainwater collection systems. The method evaluates the amount of water that can actually be used to replace traditional water supply through the rainwater collection system, and derives the reduced power consumption and carbon emissions caused by the reduction in annual water supply at the urban scale, thereby reducing the computational complexity and improving the universality of the method's application.
[0005] In order to achieve the above technical effects, the technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0007] Obtain rainfall records for a city within a T-time period and divide the rainfall records into discrete rainfall events;
[0008] The average effective rainwater collection area and runoff coefficient of the top of a single building in the city are obtained, and combined with the rainfall depth of a single rainfall event, the effective rainfall depth of a single building in a single rainfall event is calculated;
[0009] Obtain the water consumption rate during the dry period and the water consumption rate during the rainy period within a single building, establish a water supply and demand balance reliability model for the rainwater collection system of a single building, and use the water supply and demand balance reliability model to solve the water supply and demand balance reliability of the rainwater collection system;
[0010] When the reliability of the water supply and demand balance of the rainwater collection system reaches the set threshold, the optimal rainwater collection capacity that meets the reliability of the water supply and demand balance of the rainwater collection system is calculated. Based on the optimal rainwater collection capacity, the reduced domestic water supply of a single building is calculated;
[0011] Count the buildings in the city that use rainwater collection systems, calculate the reduced electricity consumption due to the reduction in domestic water supply, and obtain the reduced carbon emissions due to the reduced electricity consumption.
[0012] In this technical solution, the city's rainfall records are first processed and divided into discrete rainfall events; the water consumption rate during the dry period and the water consumption rate during the rainy period in a single building are used to establish a water supply and demand balance reliability model for the rainwater collection system of a single building, and the water supply and demand balance reliability model is used to solve the water supply and demand balance reliability of the rainwater collection system. When the water supply and demand balance reliability of the rainwater collection system reaches a set threshold, the optimal rainwater collection capacity that meets the water supply and demand balance reliability of the rainwater collection system is calculated. Based on the optimal rainwater collection capacity, the amount of water that can actually be used to replace traditional water supply through the rainwater collection system is evaluated, and the reduced electricity consumption and carbon emissions caused by the reduction in annual water supply at the urban scale are derived, which reduces the complexity of the calculation and improves the universality of the method application.
