[0038] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0039] Embodiment: The present invention provides an intelligent power energy management system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an energy data acquisition module 10, a data processing and analysis module 20, a remote control module 30, and a report generation and display module 40 that are electrically connected in sequence; the energy data acquisition module 10 is used to collect real-time operating data and energy consumption data of power energy equipment in the tobacco factory; the data processing and analysis module 20 is used to analyze the data and generate optimization suggestions, and identify abnormal energy consumption and waste phenomena; the remote control module 30 is used to remotely adjust the operating status of the equipment according to the analysis results to achieve accurate energy supply; the report generation and display module 40 is used to generate energy management reports and display energy consumption trends in a visual form;

[0040] The remote control module 30 communicates with the power energy equipment through a network communication protocol and uses a model predictive control algorithm to dynamically adjust the equipment operating state. The model predictive control algorithm optimizes the control input to make the system output track the set value. Its objective function is:

[0041]

[0042] Among them, y t is the system output, rt is the set value, u t is the control input, and λ is the weight coefficient.

[0043] As can be seen from the above, the energy data acquisition module 10 collects data in real time to improve the accuracy and completeness of data collection; the data processing and analysis module 20 analyzes data and generates optimization suggestions to achieve accurate prediction of future energy consumption and provide decision support for energy management; the remote control module 30 remotely adjusts the equipment operating status to achieve accurate energy supply and intelligent control; the report generation and display module 40 intuitively displays energy consumption, helping users to promptly identify problems in energy use and make improvements; these functions together improve the efficiency and stability of energy use.

[0044] Furthermore, the energy data acquisition module 10 includes various types of sensors for collecting the usage of various energy sources such as electricity, gas, fuel oil, water, steam, as well as related data such as equipment operating status, temperature, humidity, etc. The Kalman filter algorithm is used for the collected data to improve the accuracy and reliability of data collection. The formula of the Kalman filter algorithm includes:

[0045]

[0046] in, is the updated state estimate, K k is the Kalman gain, z k is the observed value, H k is the observation matrix.

[0047] From the above, it can be seen that the energy data acquisition module 10 comprehensively collects various types of energy usage and equipment-related data through various types of sensors, and uses the Kalman filter algorithm to accurately process the collected data, which significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of data acquisition, thereby ensuring that the system obtains a high-quality data foundation, providing strong support for subsequent data analysis and energy management decisions, thereby improving the efficiency and credibility of the entire energy management system.

[0048] Furthermore, in the energy data acquisition module 10, a wavelet transform algorithm is used to reduce the noise of the collected data. The formula of the wavelet transform algorithm includes:

[0049]

[0050] Among them, ψ a,b (t) is the wavelet basis function, a is the scale parameter, b is the displacement parameter, and f(t) is the original signal.

[0051] As can be seen from the above, in the energy data acquisition module 10, the wavelet transform algorithm is used to perform noise reduction processing on the collected data, which can effectively remove noise interference in the data and improve the purity and quality of the data; by finely decomposing and reconstructing the signal, the system can more accurately capture subtle changes in energy usage and equipment status, providing more accurate data support for subsequent energy management and optimization, and further enhancing the performance and practicality of the intelligent power energy management system.

[0052] Furthermore, in the data processing and analysis module 20, the collected data is analyzed by constructing an energy consumption prediction model based on a support vector machine (SVM) to achieve accurate prediction of future energy consumption. The formula of the energy consumption prediction model of the support vector machine (SVM) includes:

[0053]

[0054] Among them, α i is the Lagrange multiplier, K(x i ,x) is the kernel function, b is the bias term;

[0055] At the same time, the collected data is analyzed to identify anomalies and waste in energy use.

[0056]

[0057] Among them, C i is the i-th cluster, μ i is the cluster center.

[0058] From the above, we can see that by constructing an energy consumption prediction model based on support vector machines, we can accurately predict future energy consumption trends and provide a scientific basis for energy planning and management. At the same time, the cluster analysis algorithm is used to monitor energy consumption data in real time, and abnormalities and waste in energy use can be discovered in time, which helps managers to quickly take measures to make improvements. This not only improves the prediction accuracy and supervision efficiency of energy use, but also provides a strong guarantee for the company's energy conservation, emission reduction and sustainable development.

[0059] Furthermore, the remote control module 30 communicates with the power energy equipment through a network communication protocol to achieve remote control and monitoring.

[0060] As can be seen from the above, the remote control module communicates with the power energy equipment through the network communication protocol, realizes the remote control and monitoring of the energy equipment, and greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of energy management; managers can grasp the operating status of the equipment in real time and make remote adjustments according to actual needs, thereby ensuring the stability and efficiency of energy supply, which not only reduces the cost and risk of manual intervention, but also improves the intelligence level and response speed of the entire energy management system.

[0061] From the above, it can be seen that the present invention adopts a model predictive control algorithm, which can dynamically adjust the operating status of energy equipment according to real-time energy consumption data and prediction results, and realize refined energy management and intelligent scheduling; the algorithm optimizes the control strategy to ensure that the system output closely tracks the set value, while balancing the control input and energy consumption efficiency, thereby achieving the dual goals of energy conservation and emission reduction and improving energy utilization, and thus significantly enhancing the intelligence and adaptability of the remote control module, bringing higher economic and environmental benefits to the enterprise's energy management.

[0062] Furthermore, a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm is used to optimize the intelligent control strategy. The formula of the reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm includes:

[0063]

[0064] Here, s is the state, a is the action, r is the reward, α is the learning rate, and γ is the discount factor.

[0065] From the above, it can be seen that the present invention uses a reinforcement learning algorithm to optimize the intelligent control strategy. Through continuous trial and error and learning, the system can automatically adjust the control strategy to adapt to the changing energy management environment; the algorithm selects actions according to the current state and adjusts the strategy according to the reward signal to maximize the long-term energy consumption benefits; the introduction of the reinforcement learning algorithm not only improves the system's adaptability and intelligence level, but also brings higher flexibility and robustness to energy management, helping enterprises maintain their competitive advantage in the complex and changing energy market.

[0066] Furthermore, the effects of an intelligent power energy management system of the embodiment and a traditional power energy management system are compared to obtain the following table:
