Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental protection engineering, and in particular to a planning method and a zero-carbon community model for a city. Background Art

[0002] The essence of "zero carbon" is carbon neutrality, that is, within a certain period, by accurately measuring the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly generated by urban communities, combined with energy conservation and emission reduction, carbon sink supplementation and other means to achieve a dynamic balance between carbon emissions and offsets, and ultimately achieve the net zero emission target.

[0003] As the fundamental unit of social operation, urban communities' emission reduction pathways and carbon neutrality practices play a key role in achieving the nation's "dual carbon" strategy. Promoting energy structure optimization and industrial low-carbon transformation through technological innovation (such as renewable energy integration and smart energy management) and model innovation (such as the circular economy and shared resources) will become a core driver of urban green development, driving the construction of modern, sustainable, zero-carbon communities.

[0004] This model can not only significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the urban ecological environment, but also promote sustainable economic development through green industry incubation (such as new energy services and carbon asset management), improve the quality of life of residents, and provide a replicable practical sample for the global carbon neutrality goal.

[0005] Current community carbon neutrality plans mostly focus on a single area (such as building energy conservation or photovoltaic power generation) and lack cross-module integrated planning methods, resulting in insufficient coordination in energy management, waste recycling, carbon accounting and other aspects, making it difficult to achieve global optimization.

[0006] Traditional technologies rely on static data and manual intervention, and are unable to monitor energy consumption trends, photovoltaic power generation efficiency, and waste recycling in real time, resulting in delayed carbon emission accounting and difficulty in timely adjusting emission reduction strategies.

[0007] Most existing photovoltaic systems operate independently and are not deeply coupled with building energy-saving renovations (such as insulation materials, ground-source heat pumps) or energy storage equipment, resulting in low matching between energy supply and demand and widespread abandonment of solar power.

[0008] Existing methods mostly use fixed emission factors to estimate carbon emissions, without taking into account the actual carbon emission reduction contribution of waste recycling (such as the emission reduction from the production of recyclables replacing raw materials), resulting in large deviations in accounting results.

[0009] Existing technologies lack systematic integration, real-time dynamic control, and accurate carbon accounting capabilities, making them difficult to support the full lifecycle management of zero-carbon communities. A multi-module collaborative planning approach, management platform, and closed-loop carbon footprint tracking technology are urgently needed to overcome these bottlenecks. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of a zero-carbon community model in a city in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and other embodiments may also fall within the scope of the present invention as long as they conform to the gist of the present invention.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, based on the above problems existing in the prior art, a planning method for a zero-carbon community in an urban area is provided. Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0051] Step S1: Carry out energy-saving renovations on buildings and public facilities to improve operational efficiency, enhance the insulation and sealing performance of buildings within the community, and optimize energy loss within the community and reduce ineffective losses;

[0052] Step S2: Installing photovoltaic power generation and energy storage modules on building roofs and open spaces within the community based on lighting conditions and the community's spatial layout. The orientation and tilt of the photovoltaic components within the photovoltaic power generation and energy storage modules are adjusted to improve photoelectric conversion efficiency. The photovoltaic components collect and store solar energy to generate electricity and provide energy to the community.

[0053] Step S3: Set up waste management modules at multiple collection points in the community to collect and clean up waste generated by community residents. Optimize the distribution and placement guidelines of the waste management modules, standardize the waste classification and placement process, refine the recycling and transportation routes for different types of waste, and adjust the recycling and removal frequency according to the waste treatment process.

[0054] Step S4: Real-time monitoring of energy consumption within the community to form a real-time monitoring network to monitor the energy usage trends of photovoltaic power generation and energy storage modules, provide a data analysis platform to analyze energy consumption to form a visual report, and calculate the community's carbon emissions based on energy consumption and recycled waste.

[0055] Preferably, the energy-saving device includes:

[0056] Building envelope, installed on the outside of the building, is used to improve the building's insulation and sealing performance and reduce building energy loss;

[0057] Lighting energy-saving equipment to reduce energy loss for lighting within the community;

[0058] Heating and cooling energy-saving equipment is used to reduce energy loss for heating and cooling within the community.

[0059] Preferably, the waste management module includes a plurality of waste recycling units, which are respectively arranged at a plurality of collection points, and each waste recycling unit recycles a different type of waste.

[0060] Preferably, the photovoltaic power generation and energy storage module includes:

[0061] Photovoltaic power generation units, used to convert solar energy received in the community into electrical energy through photovoltaic modules, and to recover heat from the photovoltaic modules;

[0062] The solar thermal energy storage unit is connected to the photovoltaic power generation unit and is used to store the electrical energy converted by the photovoltaic power generation unit and the recovered thermal energy.

[0063] Specifically, community planning requires identifying the surrounding environment, including climate conditions and locational factors, so that construction can be tailored to the community's environmental characteristics. Therefore, this planning method also includes an environmental assessment and adaptation module. Community construction requires first taking inventory of building energy consumption data, as well as collecting surrounding climate data (such as sunshine duration, temperature and humidity, and wind speed) and locational environmental information (such as topography and vegetation cover) to generate an environmental adaptability report. This report guides photovoltaic panel installation angles, greening layout, and building energy-saving design.

[0064] Subsequently, building material selection is optimized from a full lifecycle perspective, and energy-saving facility renovations are implemented. For example, based on historical building energy consumption data, low-carbon building materials (such as recycled concrete and aerogel insulation) are recommended, and energy-saving renovation plans (such as energy-saving doors and windows, corridor sensor lighting, and ground-source heat pumps) are planned. For example, in a zero-carbon renovation project for a coastal community located in an area with a high salt fog climate, corrosion-resistant photovoltaic panels were selected; in an area prone to typhoons, three-dimensional greening was used to reinforce the building. In terms of energy-saving renovations, Low-E glass and exterior wall insulation were added to older buildings, significantly reducing energy consumption.

[0065] For outdoor spaces, prioritize the deployment of rainwater recycling systems in rainy areas and increase photovoltaic panel coverage in areas with ample sunlight. Monitor the carbon sequestration capacity of community green spaces and vertical greening (such as vertical gardens and rooftop greening). Increase green space and promote vertical greening in public areas, calculate the resulting carbon emissions reductions, and incorporate them into the system. Integrate carbon sequestration data into energy management modules and include them in community net carbon emissions calculations.

[0066] When the weather is suitable, photovoltaic panels on the roofs of community buildings or open spaces collect solar energy and thermal energy for storage. The solar energy is converted into electrical energy through the photovoltaic system and stored in the energy storage facility, while the thermal energy recovered by the photovoltaic system is stored through a hot water storage system (such as an insulated water tank).

[0067] A smart energy scheduling module 5 is also added, with the following main functions:

[0068] Dynamically distribute photovoltaic power (giving priority to high-energy-consuming devices such as charging stations).

[0069] Adjust energy storage strategies based on weather forecasts (e.g., fully charge energy storage equipment before rainy weather).

[0070] Through AI algorithms, community electricity consumption peaks are predicted and electricity is released from the energy storage system in advance to reduce dependence on the grid.

[0071] The entire process is managed and monitored by a backend intelligent control system, which dynamically adjusts energy allocation. The community's waste is managed by the intelligent system, and after being sorted and collected at recycling stations, carbon emissions reductions are calculated uniformly. Data analysis and visualization tools are used to provide residents with carbon emission information and reduction recommendations.

[0072] Build a community energy digital twin model to monitor photovoltaic power generation, energy storage charging and discharging, and building energy consumption in real time, dynamically adjust energy allocation strategies, and reduce curtailment. Residents can view their household energy consumption and carbon footprint through the app.

[0073] This planning approach breaks the limitations of traditional single technologies through modular integration, achieving full-chain synergy across building energy conservation, energy production, and waste management. Real-time data drives decision-making, creating a closed-loop "monitoring, analysis, optimization, and feedback" approach to emissions reduction. This reduces energy costs while enhancing residents' environmental awareness and fostering community cohesion.

[0074] The present invention also provides a zero-carbon community model for a city, obtained by the above-mentioned planning method, comprising:

[0075] The facility energy-saving module 1 is used to carry out energy-saving renovations on buildings and public facilities, install multiple energy-saving devices 11, improve the insulation and sealing performance of buildings in the community, and optimize energy loss in the community;

[0076] Photovoltaic power generation and energy storage modules 2, installed on building roofs and open spaces in the community, are used to provide energy to the community by converting solar energy into electricity and storing it;

[0077] Waste management module 3, set up at multiple collection points in the community, is used to collect and clean up waste generated by community residents;

[0078] The energy management module 4 is connected to the facility energy-saving module 1, the photovoltaic power generation and energy storage module 2 and the waste management module 3, and is used to monitor the energy consumption of the facility energy-saving modules in the community in real time, monitor the energy usage trend of the photovoltaic power generation and energy storage modules, and calculate the community's carbon emissions based on the energy consumption and the amount of waste recycled by the waste management module.

[0079] Specifically, the zero-carbon community model in this embodiment also requires identifying the surrounding environment during community planning, including climate conditions and locational environment, so that construction can be tailored to the community's environmental characteristics. Therefore, this method also includes an environmental assessment and adaptation module. Community construction requires first taking inventory of building energy consumption data, as well as collecting surrounding climate data (such as sunshine duration, temperature and humidity, wind speed) and locational environmental information (such as topography and vegetation cover) to generate an environmental adaptability report to guide photovoltaic panel installation angles, greening layout, and building energy-saving design.

[0080] Subsequently, building material selection is optimized from a full lifecycle perspective, and energy-saving facility renovations are implemented. For example, based on historical building energy consumption data, low-carbon building materials (such as recycled concrete and aerogel insulation) are recommended, and energy-saving renovation plans (such as energy-saving doors and windows, corridor sensor lighting, and ground-source heat pumps) are planned. For example, in a zero-carbon renovation project for a coastal community located in an area with a high salt fog climate, corrosion-resistant photovoltaic panels were selected; in an area prone to typhoons, three-dimensional greening was used to reinforce the building. In terms of energy-saving renovations, Low-E glass and exterior wall insulation were added to older buildings, significantly reducing energy consumption.

[0081] For outdoor spaces, prioritize the deployment of rainwater recycling systems in rainy areas and increase photovoltaic panel coverage in areas with ample sunlight. Monitor the carbon sequestration capacity of community green spaces and vertical greening (such as vertical gardens and rooftop greening). Increase green space and promote vertical greening in public areas, calculate the resulting carbon emissions reductions, and incorporate them into the system. Integrate carbon sequestration data into energy management modules and include them in community net carbon emissions calculations.

[0082] When the weather is suitable, photovoltaic panels on the roofs of community buildings or open spaces collect solar energy and thermal energy for storage. The solar energy is converted into electrical energy through the photovoltaic system and stored in the energy storage facility, while the thermal energy recovered by the photovoltaic system is stored through a hot water storage system (such as an insulated water tank).

[0083] A smart energy scheduling module 5 is also added, with the following main functions:

[0084] Dynamically distribute photovoltaic power (giving priority to high-energy-consuming devices such as charging stations).

[0085] Adjust energy storage strategies based on weather forecasts (e.g., fully charge energy storage equipment before rainy weather).

[0086] Through AI algorithms, community electricity consumption peaks are predicted and electricity is released from the energy storage system in advance to reduce dependence on the grid.

[0087] The entire process is managed and monitored by a backend intelligent control system, which dynamically adjusts energy allocation. The community's waste is managed by the intelligent system, and after being sorted and collected at recycling stations, carbon emissions reductions are calculated uniformly. Data analysis and visualization tools are used to provide residents with carbon emission information and reduction recommendations.

[0088] Build a community energy digital twin model to monitor photovoltaic power generation, energy storage charging and discharging, and building energy consumption in real time, dynamically adjust energy allocation strategies, and reduce curtailment. Residents can view their household energy consumption and carbon footprint through the app.

[0089] This zero-carbon community model breaks the limitations of traditional single technologies through modular integration, achieving full-chain synergy across building energy conservation, energy production, and waste management. Real-time data drives decision-making, creating a closed-loop emissions reduction system of "monitoring, analysis, optimization, and feedback." This reduces energy costs while enhancing residents' environmental awareness and community cohesion.

[0090] This zero-carbon community model provides a replicable and scalable solution for urban zero-carbon community construction through technological and model innovation. It comprehensively optimizes the shortcomings of current community carbon neutrality solutions and achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0091] 1. Modular integration and global collaboration

[0092] Current solutions mostly focus on a single area (such as building energy conservation or photovoltaic power generation alone) and lack cross-module integrated planning, resulting in insufficient coordination in energy management, waste recycling, carbon accounting and other aspects, making it difficult to achieve global optimization.

[0093] In this zero-carbon community model, through the integration of multiple modules such as facility energy conservation, photovoltaic power generation and energy storage, waste management, and energy management, the limitations of a single technical field are broken and full-chain collaboration is achieved.

[0094] 2. Dynamic real-time monitoring and control

[0095] Traditional technologies rely on static data and manual intervention, and are unable to monitor energy consumption trends, photovoltaic power generation efficiency, and waste recycling in real time, resulting in delayed carbon emission accounting and difficulty in timely adjusting emission reduction strategies.

[0096] In this zero-carbon community model, the energy management module monitors energy consumption, photovoltaic power generation efficiency, and waste recycling in real time, and combines with the smart energy scheduling module to dynamically adjust energy allocation strategies (such as AI prediction of peak electricity consumption and adjustment of energy storage based on weather forecasts).

[0097] 3. Integration of PV, storage and construction and matching supply and demand

[0098] Most existing photovoltaic systems operate independently and are not deeply coupled with building energy-saving renovations or energy storage equipment, resulting in poor matching between energy supply and demand and widespread abandonment of solar power.

[0099] In this zero-carbon community model, photovoltaic power generation and energy storage modules are deeply coupled with building energy-saving renovations (such as insulation materials and ground-source heat pumps). Energy storage equipment is used to smooth out power generation fluctuations and achieve a balance between energy supply and demand during the day and night. The smart energy scheduling module dynamically allocates photovoltaic power (giving priority to high-energy-consuming equipment).

[0100] 4. Accurate carbon accounting and waste resource utilization

[0101] Existing methods mostly use fixed emission factors to estimate carbon emissions, without taking into account the actual carbon emission reduction contribution of waste recycling, resulting in large deviations in accounting results.

[0102] In this zero-carbon community model, the energy management module calculates carbon emissions based on the amount of waste recycled, incorporating the emission reduction contribution of recyclables replacing raw materials; the waste management module directly reduces carbon emissions through classified recycling and organic waste conversion (such as biogas and composting).

[0103] 5. Environmental Adaptation and Full Lifecycle Management

[0104] Existing technologies lack systematic integration and full life cycle management capabilities, and do not consider the impact of environmental characteristics on zero-carbon facilities (such as the selection of photovoltaic panels in high salt fog and typhoon areas).

[0105] In this zero-carbon community model, the environmental assessment and adaptation module combines climate and location data to generate an environmental adaptability report to guide photovoltaic installation, greening layout and building material selection (such as corrosion-resistant photovoltaic panels and rainwater recycling systems); and optimize building materials and energy-saving renovations from a full life cycle perspective.

[0106] This zero-carbon community model solves the current problems of fragmentation, lag, and supply-demand imbalance in zero-carbon community construction through technological innovation (such as modular integration, dynamic regulation, and integrated photovoltaic storage and construction) and model innovation (such as carbon accounting optimization and environmental adaptation), forming a "monitoring-analysis-optimization-feedback" emission reduction closed loop, providing a replicable and scalable solution for urban zero-carbon communities.

[0107] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the energy-saving device 11 includes:

[0108] Building envelope structures are installed outside the building to improve the insulation and sealing performance of the building and reduce heat loss;

[0109] Lighting energy-saving equipment to reduce energy loss for lighting within the community;

[0110] Heating and cooling energy-saving equipment is used to reduce energy loss for heating and cooling within the community.

[0111] Specifically, in this embodiment, in the zero-carbon community model of the city, the application of energy-saving equipment has significant beneficial effects;

[0112] Improving thermal insulation in building envelopes: Using aerogel insulation materials and vacuum insulation panels effectively reduces heat conduction in summer and heat loss in winter, reducing the building's reliance on air conditioning and heating. Enhancing sealing: Using high-performance doors, windows, and sealing strips reduces air infiltration, preventing the exchange of hot and cold air, and further reducing energy consumption. This significantly reduces heating and cooling energy consumption, improves indoor comfort, and extends the building's service life.

[0113] For lighting energy-saving equipment, LED lighting can be used: compared with traditional lighting, LED lamps are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, and can adjust brightness and color temperature through intelligent control.

[0114] And induction lighting: install induction lighting systems in corridors and public areas to achieve "lights on when people come and lights off when people leave", avoiding ineffective lighting energy consumption.

[0115] Beneficial effects: Reduce lighting energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, and improve community safety and convenience.

[0116] For energy-saving heating and cooling equipment, ground source heat pumps can be used: using the underground constant temperature layer as a heat and cold source to achieve efficient heating and cooling, the energy efficiency is 40%-60% higher than traditional air conditioners.

[0117] Or air source heat pumps: extract heat from the air, suitable for winter heating, reducing fossil fuel use.

[0118] Beneficial effects: Significantly reduce heating and cooling energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions, and improve energy utilization efficiency.

[0119] In addition to the above energy-saving equipment, the following energy-saving equipment can also be installed in the community to further reduce energy consumption, such as:

[0120] Smart meters and energy management systems monitor building energy consumption in real time, providing accurate data to support energy-saving decisions; and optimize equipment operation strategies through data analysis, such as time-sharing temperature control and equipment scheduling.

[0121] Solar water heating systems use solar energy to heat domestic water, reducing the use of electric or gas water heaters and lowering carbon emissions.

[0122] The rainwater recycling and utilization system collects rainwater for green irrigation, road washing, etc., reducing the use of tap water, water resource energy consumption and carbon emissions.

[0123] Vertical greening and rooftop greening increase green space, improve community microclimate, and reduce building energy consumption; at the same time, they enhance the aesthetics and biodiversity of the community.

[0124] The intelligent shading system automatically adjusts the sunshade blinds or curtains according to the sunlight angle, reducing the amount of solar radiation entering the room in summer and reducing the air conditioning load.

[0125] Waste heat recovery system: Recovers waste heat in buildings (such as air conditioning condensation heat, kitchen waste heat, etc.) for heating or domestic hot water, improving energy efficiency.

[0126] The application of these energy-saving devices not only significantly reduces the community's energy consumption and carbon emissions, but also improves the living environment and quality of life. Through intelligent control and system integration, they achieve efficient energy utilization and refined management, providing strong support for the city's construction of zero-carbon communities. Furthermore, the application of these energy-saving devices promotes the development of green industries and promotes the sustainable development of communities.

[0127] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the waste management module includes a plurality of waste recovery units respectively arranged at a plurality of collection points, and each waste recovery unit is used to recover a different type of waste.

[0128] Specifically, this example chooses to build a waste management module in a medium-sized community with 20 residential buildings and approximately 1,000 households. The community has multiple public areas, such as parks, children's playgrounds, fitness areas, and a community service center.

[0129] Five waste recycling points have been set up in the community, located near the community entrance, park, children's playground, fitness area and community service center, to facilitate residents to dispose of waste in different activity areas.

[0130] Each recycling point is equipped with a set of waste recycling units, including four types of recycling bins: recyclables recycling bins, hazardous waste recycling bins, kitchen waste recycling bins and other waste recycling bins.

[0131] Recyclables collection bin: used to recycle recyclable waste such as paper, plastic, metal, glass, etc. The bin is clearly marked with the types of recyclables and placement instructions.

[0132] Hazardous waste recycling bins: Specially designed for recycling hazardous waste such as used batteries, used fluorescent tubes, expired medicines, etc. The bins are made of special materials to prevent the leakage of hazardous substances.

[0133] Kitchen waste recycling bin: used to recycle kitchen waste generated in residents' daily lives, such as leftovers, fruit peels, etc. The bin is equipped with a sealed lid to prevent odor and mosquito breeding.

[0134] Other garbage recycling bins: As a fallback option, used to recycle waste other than the above three categories.

[0135] Residents place waste generated in their daily lives into corresponding recycling bins according to their type. The community educates residents about waste sorting through various channels, including bulletin boards and WeChat public accounts, to improve the accuracy of waste sorting.

[0136] The community works with professional waste collection and transportation companies to develop collection and transportation plans based on the volume of waste generated and the demand for each type of waste. Recyclables and hazardous waste require special handling and recycling, so they are collected and transported more frequently. Kitchen waste and other waste are collected and transported at a flexible frequency based on waste volume.

[0137] The collection and transportation company transports the collected waste to the appropriate treatment facilities for sorting and processing. Recyclables enter the resource recovery and reuse system; hazardous waste is rendered harmless; kitchen waste is composted or anaerobic fermented to produce organic fertilizer or biogas; and other waste is transported to incineration plants or landfills for disposal.

[0138] Through scientific and reasonable setting up of recycling units and publicity and guidance, the accuracy of residents' garbage classification has been significantly improved, and the recycling rate of various types of waste has been greatly improved.

[0139] Hazardous waste is specially treated to avoid its potential harm to the environment and human health; kitchen waste is converted into organic fertilizer or biogas after processing, reducing pollution caused by landfill and incineration.

[0140] Recyclable materials enter the resource recycling and reuse system, realizing the circular utilization of resources and reducing the pressure on the exploitation of primary resources.

[0141] Waste is disposed of promptly and effectively, the community environment is cleaner and more beautiful, and the quality of life of residents has been improved.

[0142] This embodiment demonstrates the specific application of the waste management module in the zero-carbon community model. Through reasonable recycling unit settings, operation methods and publicity guidance, it achieves effective waste management and resource recycling, providing strong support for the sustainable development of the community and reducing carbon emissions.

[0143] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the photovoltaic power generation and energy storage module 2 includes:

[0144] Photovoltaic power generation unit 21, used to convert solar energy received in the community into electrical energy through photovoltaic modules, and to recover thermal energy generated by the photovoltaic modules;

[0145] The photothermal energy storage unit 22 is connected to the photovoltaic power generation unit 21 and is used to store the electrical energy converted by the photovoltaic power generation unit and the recovered thermal energy.

[0146] Specifically, in this embodiment, photovoltaic power generation systems and solar thermal energy storage systems are installed on the roofs of community buildings and open spaces to collect and utilize solar energy. The output of the photovoltaic power generation system is connected to the energy storage system. The electricity generated by solar power generation is first used to charge the energy storage equipment for subsequent use. At the same time, the photovoltaic power generation system can be combined with the thermal energy system and adopt solar thermal integration technology to recover the heat generated by the photovoltaic modules and convert it into thermal energy, realizing the integration of solar storage and heat, and achieving efficient energy management and allocation.

[0147] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the waste management module 3 further includes:

[0148] The detection device 31 is used to detect the actual type and quantity of waste recovered by each waste recovery unit, and analyze the carbon emission reduction of the waste recovery.

[0149] Specifically, in order to realize the function of the detection equipment, that is, to detect the actual type and quantity of waste recovered by the waste recovery unit and analyze the carbon emission reduction of the waste recovery, the following implementation methods can be adopted:

[0150] 1. Waste type and quantity detection

[0151] Using sensor technology:

[0152] A weight sensor is installed in the waste recycling unit to measure the weight of the waste in real time. Whenever waste is put into the recycling unit, the weight sensor immediately detects the change in weight and transmits the data to the detection equipment.

[0153] At the same time, a volume sensor can be installed to detect the volume of waste. For some light but large waste, the volume sensor can provide more accurate information on the amount of waste.

[0154] Using image recognition technology:

[0155] Cameras are installed in waste collection units to capture images of waste. Detection equipment uses image recognition algorithms to analyze these images and identify the type of waste. For example, it can distinguish between different types of waste, such as paper, plastic, metal, and glass, based on characteristics such as color, shape, and texture.

[0156] To improve the accuracy of image recognition, a waste image database can be established, containing standard images and characteristic information of various types of waste. The detection equipment compares the captured image with the standard images in the database to determine the type of waste.

[0157] 2. Carbon emission reduction analysis

[0158] Establish a waste treatment database, including treatment methods for various types of waste and their corresponding carbon emission coefficients. For example, for recyclable waste, treatment methods may include recycling and reuse, incineration for power generation, etc.; for non-recyclable waste, treatment methods may include landfill and incineration. Different treatment methods have different carbon emission coefficients, which represent the carbon emissions generated per unit mass of waste treated.

[0159] 3. Calculation of carbon emission reduction:

[0160] The detection equipment obtains the corresponding carbon emission coefficient from the waste treatment method database based on the type and quantity of waste detected.

[0161] The carbon emissions reductions from waste recycling are then calculated based on the waste quantity, treatment method, and carbon emission coefficient. The specific calculation formula is: Carbon emissions reduction = waste quantity × (baseline carbon emission coefficient - recycling carbon emission coefficient). The base carbon emission coefficient represents the carbon emissions that would be generated if the waste were not recycled, while the recycling carbon emission coefficient represents the carbon emissions that would be generated if the waste were recycled.

[0162] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the energy management module 4 includes:

[0163] The energy-saving monitoring unit 41 is used to monitor the energy consumption of each energy-saving device in the facility energy-saving module in real time;

[0164] An energy flow monitoring unit 42 is used to monitor in real time the energy conversion amount of the photovoltaic power generation and energy storage modules, as well as the energy usage provided by the photovoltaic power generation and energy storage modules to the community, in order to determine its energy usage trend;

[0165] The carbon emission calculation unit 43 is used to calculate the energy consumption carbon emissions based on the energy consumption of each energy-saving device, and calculate the carbon emission reduction achieved by the waste management module by recycling waste, and calculate the community carbon emissions based on the energy consumption carbon emissions and carbon emission reduction.

[0166] Specifically, in this embodiment, the energy management module realizes the comprehensive management of energy production and consumption within the community through the collaborative work of the energy conservation monitoring unit, the energy flow monitoring unit, and the carbon emission calculation unit, and effectively identifies, calculates, monitors, and visualizes the carbon emissions within the community. The following is a detailed description:

[0167] Energy-saving monitoring unit: This unit monitors the energy consumption of each energy-saving device in the facility's energy-saving module in real time. Using sensors installed on these devices, the unit collects real-time energy consumption data, such as electricity, water, and gas consumption. If it detects abnormal energy consumption or exceeds a preset threshold, the unit immediately issues an alert, allowing community managers to take timely measures to adjust and optimize the system.

[0168] Energy Flow Monitoring Unit: This unit monitors, in real time, the energy conversion rate of the photovoltaic power generation and storage modules, as well as the energy usage provided to the community by these modules. By monitoring energy conversion, the community can understand the operating efficiency and power generation capacity of the photovoltaic power generation and storage modules; by monitoring energy usage, the community can understand the contribution of the photovoltaic power generation and storage modules to the community's energy supply. The Energy Flow Monitoring Unit can also analyze community energy usage trends, providing a basis for community energy planning and decision-making.

[0169] Carbon Emission Calculation Unit: This unit calculates the carbon emissions of energy consumption based on the energy consumption of each energy-saving device provided by the Energy Monitoring Unit. Different energy types have different carbon emission coefficients. The Carbon Emission Calculation Unit can accurately calculate the carbon emissions of a community's energy consumption based on energy consumption and carbon emission coefficients.

[0170] Carbon Emission Reduction Calculation: The carbon emission calculation unit also receives carbon emission reduction data from waste recycling, provided by the monitoring equipment in the waste management module. By comprehensively considering the carbon emissions from energy consumption and the carbon emission reductions from waste recycling, the carbon emission calculation unit can accurately calculate the community's carbon emissions. The specific calculation formula is: Community carbon emissions = Energy carbon emissions - Waste recycling carbon emission reductions.

[0171] Carbon emission monitoring and visualization: The carbon emission calculation unit can monitor the community's carbon emissions in real time. Once it is found that carbon emissions exceed the preset threshold or show abnormal fluctuations, it will immediately issue an early warning so that community managers can take timely measures to intervene.

[0172] Data Visualization: The carbon emission calculation unit can also convert carbon emission data into visual charts, such as line charts, bar charts, and pie charts. These charts can intuitively display information such as the community's carbon emissions, carbon emission trends, and the proportion of carbon emissions from different energy types, making it easier for community managers and residents to understand the community's carbon emissions and raise awareness of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0173] Through the collaborative work of the energy-saving monitoring unit, the energy flow monitoring unit and the carbon emission calculation unit, the energy management module realizes the comprehensive management of energy production and consumption in the community, and effectively identifies, calculates, monitors and visualizes carbon emissions in the community, providing strong support for the community's energy conservation, emission reduction and sustainable development.

For those skilled in the art, it should be aware that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the contents of this specification and illustrations should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
