[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0045] 1. The present invention extracts the ideal chilled water mass flow rate, the ideal set point temperature, the ideal return water temperature, and the ideal overflow flow rate in the main circuit connected to the chilled water group, reads the collected data of corresponding types, combines them with the actual data, and introduces a temperature difference value, an offset value, and an error value to indicate the correlation between the three types of data, so that the actual data can be accurately analyzed according to the temperature difference value, the offset value, the error value and the collected data. At the same time, the initial maximum cooling capacity and the initial minimum cooling capacity are set. When the required cooling capacity is greater than the initial maximum cooling capacity, a new chiller is opened in time, which can reduce the load of the existing chiller to a certain extent and increase the service life of the equipment. When the required cooling capacity is less than the initial minimum cooling capacity, some chillers are shut down, which can reduce overall energy consumption and avoid waste of resources. The return water temperature is associated with the cooling capacity, so the corresponding initial maximum return water temperature and the minimum return water temperature can also help control the switch of the chiller. In addition, the additional addition of the preset flow value further ensures flexibility in actual operation.

[0046] 2. The present invention analyzes the collected equipment accuracy and time domain data to obtain the probability distribution of the offset value and the relationship function between the temperature difference value, the error value and the time, so as to facilitate the subsequent accurate determination of the corresponding values ​​of the offset value, the temperature difference value and the error value according to different risk levels. The actual time domain data under different risk levels and the collected time domain data are used to determine the number of times each chiller is switched on and off, the energy consumption of all units and the proportion of insufficient cooling. The main time domain data are screened out through these indicators to ensure that the subsequent optimization of the switching method can be smoother. After determining the main time domain data, the system analyzes it and selects the next chiller to be switched on and off according to the accumulated parameter values, so that the timing of each switching of the chiller is more reasonable and scientific, ensuring the effective use of resources and preventing related equipment in the data center from being affected.
