Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of base station power technology, and specifically relates to a method and system for diagnosing the power consumption of communication base stations. Background Technology

[0002] With a large number of communication base stations, energy consumption is enormous, and problems such as electricity theft, incorrect electricity bills, and excessively low air conditioning temperatures are frequent. The existing management methods mainly rely on manual inspection, but manual management is inefficient, and there is an urgent need for scientific management through an electronic system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a method for diagnosing the power consumption of a communication base station, characterized by comprising:

[0004] The power consumption of communication equipment is obtained based on the switching power supply equipment of the communication base station, and the total power consumption of the base station is obtained based on the AC meter of the base station;

[0005] Calculate the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value of the communication base station based on the power consumption of communication equipment and the total power consumption.

[0006] Establish a PUE threshold judgment model;

[0007] The calculated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value is input into the PUE threshold judgment model to diagnose the energy consumption status of communication base stations.

[0008] Furthermore, the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value of the communication base station satisfies:

[0009] PUE = Total power consumption / Power consumption of communication equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, establishing a PUE threshold judgment model includes,

[0011] Based on multiple influencing factors, the types of communication base stations were determined, and the average power usage efficiency (PUE) value of each type of communication base station was calculated.

[0012] Set the corresponding redundancy coefficient for each type of communication base station;

[0013] Based on the average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value of each type of communication base station and the corresponding redundancy coefficient for each type of communication base station, the upper limit of the reasonable range of PUE for each type of communication base station is calculated.

[0014] Furthermore, the various influencing factors include the climate zone of the area where the communication base station is located, the load of the communication equipment, the type of equipment room, and the month. Based on these factors, the type of communication base station is determined, and the average power usage efficiency (PUE) value for each type of communication base station is calculated.

[0015] Communication base stations that have the same climate zone, the same equipment load, the same computer room type, and the same month are grouped into the same type.

[0016] Based on the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of each communication base station of the same type, the average PUE of the same type of communication base stations is calculated.

[0017] Furthermore, the upper limit of the reasonable range of PUE for each type of communication base station satisfies the following: PUE 上限 = The average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of the same type of communication base stations × the corresponding redundancy coefficient

[0018] Lower limit of reasonable PUE range for each type of communication base station 下限 All are set to the first preset value.

[0019] The normal threshold range for Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) meets the following conditions: PUE 下限 ≤Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ≤ PUE 上限 .

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes dynamically updating the reasonable range of PUE as the number of samples in the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) database for each type of communication base station increases.

[0021] Furthermore, the calculated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value is input into the PUE threshold judgment model to diagnose the energy consumption status of the communication base station, including determining whether the calculated PUE value is within the normal threshold range.

[0022] If the calculated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value exceeds the upper limit of the reasonable range of the normal threshold range, an alarm for abnormal power consumption of the communication base station will be output, and auxiliary diagnostic opinions will be given.

[0023] If the calculated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value is within the normal threshold range, conduct power supply and air conditioning energy consumption diagnostics on the base station.

[0024] Furthermore, auxiliary diagnostic opinions include,

[0025] Based on the number of orders in the order system, calculate the DC power consumption of the communication base station and determine whether the DC power consumption is within a reasonable range:

[0026] If the DC power consumption is within a reasonable range, the AC power consumption is considered abnormal, and it is recommended to investigate whether there is electricity theft or incorrect electricity bills.

[0027] If the DC power consumption exceeds the reasonable range, it is determined to be abnormal, and it is recommended to check whether the switching power supply is faulty.

[0028] Furthermore, the reasonable range satisfies:

[0029] Reasonable range = Number of orders × Order power consumption × Number of days × Reasonable range coefficient

[0030] Among them, the upper limit of the reasonable interval coefficient is the second preset value, and the lower limit of the reasonable interval coefficient is the third preset value;

[0031] The upper limit of the reasonable range is: Reasonable range = Number of orders × Order power consumption × Number of days × Second preset value;

[0032] The lower limit of the reasonable range is: Reasonable range = Number of orders × Order power consumption × Number of days × Third preset value.

[0033] Furthermore, power supply and air conditioning energy consumption diagnostics are conducted on the base station, including...

[0034] Determine if the ambient temperature in the base station equipment room is lower than the preset temperature threshold. If so, it indicates that the air conditioning is consuming a lot of energy, and it is recommended to adjust the air conditioning temperature setting.

[0035] Determine if the load rate of the switching power supply in the base station is lower than the threshold. If so, the low load rate leads to high power conversion loss. It is recommended to enable the switching power supply rectifier module rotation sleep mechanism to increase the load rate or manually adjust the rectifier module configuration.

[0036] Another object of the present invention is to provide a power consumption diagnostic system for a communication base station, comprising,

[0037] The acquisition module is used to acquire the power consumption of communication equipment based on the switching power supply equipment of the communication base station, and to acquire the total power consumption of the base station based on the AC power meter of the base station;

[0038] The calculation module is used to calculate the power usage efficiency (PUE) value of the communication base station based on the power consumption of the communication equipment and the total power consumption.

[0039] Establish a module for building a PUE threshold judgment model;

[0040] The diagnostic module is used to input the calculated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value into the PUE threshold judgment model to diagnose the energy consumption status of communication base stations.

[0041] The diagnostic method of this invention establishes a PUE threshold judgment model within a reasonable range of PUE, inputs the calculated power usage efficiency value PUE into the PUE threshold judgment model, diagnoses the energy usage status of communication base stations, improves the energy usage diagnosis capability of communication base stations, and saves operating costs.

[0042] In addition, statistical methods were used to statistically analyze the average PUE of base stations under different climate zones, communication equipment load, equipment room type, and month, and a redundancy coefficient was set to achieve reasonable PUE threshold modeling. The model was dynamically updated as the base station PUE sample size increased, which improved the accuracy and reliability of energy consumption diagnosis of communication base stations and ensured the safe operation of communication base stations.

[0043] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures pointed out in the description, claims and drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown in the illustration, this invention provides a method for diagnosing the energy consumption of a communication base station. The method includes: first, obtaining the power consumption of the communication equipment based on the base station's switching power supply, and obtaining the total power consumption of the base station based on the base station's AC meter; second, calculating the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value of the communication base station based on the power consumption of the communication equipment and the total power consumption; third, establishing a PUE threshold judgment model; and finally, inputting the calculated PUE value into the PUE threshold judgment model to diagnose the energy consumption status of the communication base station. By establishing a PUE threshold judgment model within a reasonable PUE range and inputting the calculated PUE value into the PUE threshold judgment model to diagnose the energy consumption status of the communication base station, the method improves the energy consumption diagnosis capability of the communication base station and saves operating costs.

[0050] Specifically, the DC power consumption is obtained using the switching power supply equipment of the communication base station, where the DC power consumption is the power consumption of the communication equipment; and the AC power consumption is obtained using the AC meter of the base station, where the AC power consumption is the total power consumption of the base station. Furthermore, the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value of the communication base station is calculated to satisfy:

[0051] PUE = Total power consumption / Power consumption of communication equipment.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, establishing a PUE threshold judgment model includes: first, determining the type of communication base station based on multiple influencing factors, and statistically calculating the average PUE value of each type of communication base station; then, setting a corresponding redundancy coefficient for each type of communication base station; finally, calculating the upper limit of the reasonable range of PUE for each type of communication base station based on the obtained average PUE value of each type of communication base station and the set corresponding redundancy coefficient. Specifically, the PUE value of a communication base station is related to influencing factors such as the climate zone of the base station's location, the load of communication equipment, the type of equipment room, and the month, thus requiring the statistical calculation of the average PUE value of communication base stations under multiple influencing factors to make the model more accurate. Therefore, firstly, communication base stations with the same climate zone, the same equipment load, the same equipment room type, and the same month are grouped into the same type, and then the average PUE value of the same type of communication base station is calculated based on the PUE value of each communication base station within that type. Then, the redundancy coefficient for each type of communication base station is set. Finally, based on the average power usage efficiency (PUE) value and the set redundancy coefficient, the upper limit of the reasonable PUE range is calculated. The upper limit of the reasonable PUE range satisfies: PUE 上限 =PUE mean × redundancy coefficient, that is, the upper limit of the reasonable range of PUE for each type of communication base station must satisfy: PUE 上限= Average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of the same type of communication base stations × corresponding redundancy coefficient; Lower limit of reasonable PUE range 下限 All are set to a first preset value. Preferably, the first preset value is 1, which is the lower limit of the reasonable range of PUE. 下 PUE can be set to 1, but is not limited to this. 下限 Adjustments can be made based on various influencing factors. For example, in hot-summer and warm-winter regions, with a 5kW communication equipment load and an outdoor integrated cabinet base station, the average PUE in July is 2. If the redundancy coefficient is taken as 1.5 based on experience, then the reasonable PUE range for this type of base station in July is 1 to 3. Furthermore, the redundancy coefficient is related to the load; a lower load results in a higher redundancy coefficient. Therefore, the redundancy coefficient is taken empirically and is not limited to 1.5. Other values ​​greater than 1, such as 1.2 or 2, are also applicable to this invention.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the method further includes considering that the number of PUE samples for each type of communication base station is dynamically increasing, and that the reasonable range of PUE is dynamically updated as the number of samples in the database increases. That is, the above steps are repeated to calculate a new reasonable range of PUE.

[0054] Therefore, the above method uses statistical methods to statistically analyze the average PUE of communication base stations under different climate zones, communication equipment load, equipment room type, month and other influencing factors, and sets corresponding redundancy coefficients to achieve reasonable PUE threshold modeling. It is dynamically updated as the PUE sample size of each type of communication base station increases, which improves the accuracy and reliability of communication base station energy consumption diagnosis and ensures the safe operation of communication base stations.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the calculated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value is input into the PUE threshold judgment model to diagnose the energy consumption status of the communication base station. This includes determining whether the calculated PUE value is within the normal threshold range.

[0056] If the calculated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value exceeds the reasonable range of the normal threshold, an alarm for abnormal power consumption of the communication base station will be output, along with auxiliary diagnostic suggestions. These suggestions include, firstly, calculating the DC power consumption of the communication base station based on the number of orders in the order system, and determining whether the DC power consumption is within a reasonable range.

[0057] If the DC power consumption is within a reasonable range, the AC power consumption is considered abnormal. It is recommended to investigate whether there is electricity theft, incorrect electricity bills, or other issues.

[0058] If the DC power consumption exceeds the reasonable range, it is considered abnormal, and it is recommended to check whether the switching power supply is faulty.

[0059] Furthermore, the reasonable range satisfies: Reasonable range = Number of orders × Order power consumption × Number of days × Reasonable range coefficient. Preferably, the upper limit of the reasonable range coefficient is a second preset value, and the lower limit is a third preset value. Based on the upper and lower limits of the reasonable range coefficient, the range of the reasonable range is calculated. If the actual DC power consumption is within this reasonable range, it indicates that the DC power consumption is normal, and the problem may lie in the abnormal AC power consumption. The upper limit of the reasonable range coefficient can be 1.5, and the lower limit can be 0.5, but it is not limited to these values. Adjusting the values ​​according to usage conditions, etc., is also applicable to this invention.

[0060] If the calculated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value is within the normal threshold range, perform power supply and air conditioning energy consumption diagnostics on the base station: Determine if the ambient temperature of the base station equipment room is lower than the preset temperature threshold. If so, it indicates high air conditioning energy consumption, and it is recommended to adjust the air conditioning temperature settings. Determine if the load rate of the switching power supply in the base station is lower than the threshold. If so, the low load rate leads to high power conversion losses, and it is recommended to enable the switching power supply rectifier module's rotation sleep mechanism to increase the load rate or manually adjust the rectifier module configuration. Furthermore, the normal threshold range satisfies: PUE 下限 ≤Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ≤ PUE 上限 The threshold for judging the load rate of the switching power supply can be 30% or 50%, but is not limited to this. Other percentage values ​​are also applicable to this invention. The preset temperature threshold for the computer room environment temperature can be 28℃ (degrees Celsius), but is not limited to this. Other temperature values ​​are also applicable to this invention.

[0061] By diagnosing the energy consumption of communication base stations that have a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) exceeding the reasonable range or a PUE within the reasonable range, this diagnostic method improves the efficiency of power consumption management for communication base stations compared to manual site-by-site audits. Furthermore, providing auxiliary diagnostic suggestions after diagnosis can improve the efficiency and accuracy of manual site-by-site investigations.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown in the illustration, this invention introduces a communication base station energy consumption diagnosis system. The system includes an acquisition module, a calculation module, an establishment module, and a diagnosis module. The acquisition module acquires the power consumption of the communication equipment based on the base station's switching power supply and the total power consumption of the base station based on the base station's AC meter. The calculation module calculates the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value of the communication base station based on the power consumption of the communication equipment and the total power consumption. The establishment module establishes a PUE threshold judgment model. The diagnosis module inputs the calculated PUE value into the PUE threshold judgment model to diagnose the energy consumption status of the communication base station. This system improves the efficiency and accuracy of communication base station energy consumption diagnosis.
