[0025] The present application provides a water source use efficiency evaluation method, device, electronic equipment, storage medium and computer product of a data center.

[0026] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a water source use efficiency evaluation method of a data center provided by the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, the water source use efficiency evaluation method of the data center comprises: Step 110, according to the hourly dry-bulb temperature information of the air in the region where the data center to be evaluated is located, determine the loss coefficient of the evaporation loss water quantity of the data center to be evaluated.

[0027] Step 120, based on the loss coefficient, the circulating water quantity of the cooling tower of the data center to be evaluated in unit time and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower, determine the evaporation loss water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time.

[0028] Step 130, based on the evaporation loss water quantity, determine the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time.

[0029] Step 140, take the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time as the cooling water consumption, combine the total power consumption of each information technology equipment in the data center to be evaluated in unit time, the domestic water quantity corresponding to the data center to be evaluated in unit time and the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated in unit time, determine the water source use efficiency of the data center to be evaluated in unit time.

[0030] It should be noted that the execution subject of the water source use efficiency evaluation method of the data center provided in the embodiments of the present application can be a computer device, which can be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted electronic device, a wearable device, an Ultra-mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), a netbook, or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), etc. In the present application, all data required to be used are obtained legally after authorization.

[0031] The computer device of the present application can be provided with or connected to the water source use efficiency evaluation device of the data center, so that the water source use efficiency evaluation device of the data center can be controlled to execute the water source use efficiency evaluation method of the data center of the present application.

[0032] It should be noted that the unit time in the present application can be, for example, a year, a month, a day, etc.

[0033] Specifically, in the present application, the data center that needs to be evaluated for water source use efficiency can be regarded as a data center to be evaluated.

[0034] Further, in the present application, the typical hourly meteorological parameters of the region where the data center to be evaluated is located can be obtained. When the unit time is a year, the local typical annual hourly meteorological data of the data center to be evaluated can be obtained, so as to determine the cooling water consumption of the data center to be evaluated in one year based on the meteorological data.

[0035] The Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) refers to a combination of various hourly meteorological elements of local climate characteristics. It consists of 12 typical months with climate characteristics, and the selection of the typical months takes into account the weight of each meteorological element in thermal environment analysis. The months closest to the 30-year average are selected, so that they are more consistent with the local meteorological conditions in related analysis.

[0036] Therefore, the hourly dry-bulb temperature information of the air in the region where the data center to be evaluated is located can include the dry-bulb temperature of the air at each hour of each day in a year. The dry-bulb temperature of the air at any hour of each day can be, for example, the average value of the dry-bulb temperature of the air at the corresponding time in the last 30 years. For example, the dry-bulb temperature of the air at 12:00 on January 1 can be the average value of the dry-bulb temperature of the air at 12:00 on January 1 in the last 30 years.

[0037] It should be noted that the hourly dry-bulb temperature information of the air in the region where the data center to be evaluated is located can be obtained by querying and calculating from a local meteorological station or a meteorological data website.

[0038] Furthermore, an optimal dry-bulb temperature can be determined from the hourly dry-bulb temperature information, and based on this dry-bulb temperature and a pre-set correlation, a loss coefficient can be determined from multiple loss coefficients of evaporation loss, which will then be used as the loss coefficient of evaporation loss for the data center to be evaluated.

[0039] Furthermore, this application can determine the circulating water volume of the cooling tower of the data center to be evaluated per unit time and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower. For example, the circulating water volume of the cooling tower of the data center to be evaluated over a year can be determined (e.g., 3800 cubic meters). It also obtains the inlet and outlet temperatures of the cooling water in the cooling tower of the data center to be evaluated, and determines the inlet and outlet temperature difference based on the inlet and outlet temperatures (e.g., calculated to be 6 degrees Celsius).

[0040] Therefore, the evaporation loss of the cooling tower per unit time can be further determined based on the loss coefficient of the evaporation loss of the data center to be evaluated, the circulating water volume of its cooling tower per unit time, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower.

[0041] After obtaining the amount of water lost through evaporation, this application can further combine it with the concentration factor, which reflects the water-saving capacity of the circulating water system, to determine the amount of water to be replenished to the cooling tower per unit time.

[0042] Understandably, the amount of water supplied to a cooling tower is the same as the amount of water lost from the cooling tower, and the water loss of a cooling tower includes evaporation loss, windage loss, and blowdown loss. Therefore, the amount of water lost from a cooling tower... It can be the sum of water loss due to evaporation, water loss due to wind, and water loss due to sewage discharge, that is: ; in, Indicates the amount of water lost through evaporation; Q w Indicates the amount of water lost due to wind (m³) 3 / h); Q b Indicates the amount of water lost due to sewage discharge (m³) 3 / h).

[0043] Water loss due to wind refers to the amount of water lost due to airflow, including water lost through splashing and mist. The calculation method is as follows: ; Where: w represents the wind loss rate (for example, it can be 0.0005%); Q w Indicates the amount of water lost due to wind (m³) 3 / h); Q R Indicates circulating water volume (m³) 3 / h).

[0044] Further, the blowdown loss water quantity can be calculated in the following way: .

[0045] After obtaining the make-up water quantity of the cooling tower per unit time, the make-up water quantity of the cooling tower per unit time can be further taken as the cooling water consumption, combined with the total power consumption of each information technology equipment in the data center per unit time, the domestic water consumption of the data center per unit time, and the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center per unit time, to determine the water source utilization efficiency of the data center per unit time through relevant calculation methods. The information technology equipment can include, but is not limited to, computer equipment, network equipment, communication equipment, storage equipment, security equipment, and the like.

[0046] The water consumption of the humidification system in the data center per unit time, that is, the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center per unit time for humidification and make-up water.

[0047] The domestic water consumption of the data center per unit time can include monitoring water, ordinary office water, dormitory water, and the like.

[0048] Further, the water source utilization efficiency can be used to optimize the water supply strategy (such as recycling rainwater and using reclaimed water) and reduce operating costs.

[0049] Compared with the traditional way of roughly calculating the water consumption by 1-2% of the circulating water quantity, the present application can obtain more accurate water consumption data and further obtain more accurate water source utilization efficiency through the evaluation of the make-up water quantity of the cooling tower.

[0050] According to the water source utilization efficiency evaluation method of the data center, the loss coefficient of the evaporation loss water quantity of the data center is determined according to the hourly dry-bulb temperature information of the air in the region where the data center is located, so that the evaporation loss water quantity of the cooling tower per unit time can be accurately determined based on the loss coefficient, the circulating water quantity of the cooling tower per unit time, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower. Further, based on the evaporation loss water quantity, the make-up water quantity of the cooling tower per unit time can be accurately determined. Thus, by taking the make-up water quantity of the cooling tower per unit time as the cooling water consumption, combined with the total power consumption of each information technology equipment in the data center per unit time, the domestic water consumption of the data center per unit time, and the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center per unit time, the water source utilization efficiency of the data center per unit time can be accurately determined, which can avoid the problem that the evaluation result of the water source utilization efficiency is larger than the actual value, and improve the accuracy of the evaluation value of the water source utilization efficiency of the data center.

[0051] In one embodiment, the loss coefficient of the evaporative loss water quantity of the data center to be evaluated is determined according to the hourly dry-bulb temperature information of the air in the region where the data center to be evaluated is located, comprising: comparing each dry-bulb temperature in the hourly dry-bulb temperature information of the air in the region where the data center to be evaluated is located to obtain a comparison result; determining a target dry-bulb temperature from each dry-bulb temperature in the hourly dry-bulb temperature information according to the comparison result; determining the loss coefficient of the evaporative loss water quantity of the data center to be evaluated from a plurality of preset loss coefficients according to the target dry-bulb temperature.

[0052] Specifically, the present application can select an extreme value from the hourly dry-bulb temperature information as the target dry-bulb temperature.

[0053] More specifically, each dry-bulb temperature in the hourly dry-bulb temperature information of the air in the region where the data center to be evaluated is located can be compared numerically to determine the size relationship between the dry-bulb temperatures, and the size relationship obtained is taken as the comparison result.

[0054] Further, in the present application, the dry-bulb temperature with the largest numerical value among all the dry-bulb temperatures in the hourly dry-bulb temperature information can be determined as the target dry-bulb temperature according to the comparison result.

[0055] For example, if the hourly dry-bulb temperature information includes dry-bulb temperatures of 0.7℃, -1℃, 12.7℃, 6.8℃, 30℃ and 40℃, etc., 40℃ among them is determined as the target dry-bulb temperature.

[0056] After obtaining the target dry-bulb temperature, the loss coefficient of the evaporative loss water quantity of the data center to be evaluated can be determined from a plurality of preset loss coefficients according to the target dry-bulb temperature in combination with the preset correlation between the dry-bulb temperature and the loss coefficient.

[0057] The application can accurately determine the loss coefficient of the evaporation loss water quantity of the data center to be evaluated according to the hourly dry-bulb temperature information of the air in the region where the data center to be evaluated is located, so that the subsequent evaporation loss water quantity of the cooling tower of the data center to be evaluated in unit time can be accurately determined based on the loss coefficient, the circulating water quantity of the cooling tower of the data center to be evaluated in unit time, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower. Further, based on the evaporation loss water quantity, the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time can be accurately determined. Therefore, the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time is taken as the cooling water consumption, and the water source use efficiency of the data center to be evaluated in unit time can be accurately determined by combining the total power consumption of each information technology equipment in the data center to be evaluated in unit time, the domestic water quantity of the data center to be evaluated in unit time, and the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated in unit time, which can avoid the problem that the evaluation result of the water source use efficiency is larger than the actual value, and improve the accuracy of the evaluation value of the water source use efficiency of the data center.

[0058] In one embodiment, the loss coefficient of the evaporation loss water quantity of the data center to be evaluated is determined from a plurality of preset loss coefficients according to the target dry-bulb temperature, comprising: determining the correlation between the loss coefficient and the dry-bulb temperature; determining the loss coefficient of the evaporation loss water quantity of the data center to be evaluated from a plurality of preset loss coefficients according to the target dry-bulb temperature and the correlation.

[0059] Specifically, the correlation between the loss function of the evaporation loss water quantity and the dry-bulb temperature of the air can be preset in the application, for example, as shown in Table 1: Table 1

[0060] Wherein, when the dry-bulb air temperature is less than -10℃, C takes 0.0008; when the dry-bulb air temperature is greater than or equal to 40℃, C takes 0.0016.

[0061] When the dry-bulb air temperature is greater than or equal to -10℃ and less than 40℃, the interpolation method is used to determine the value of C under this temperature condition.

[0062] Therefore, the correlation between the loss coefficient and the dry-bulb temperature can be determined.

[0063] Further, the loss coefficient of the evaporation loss water quantity of the data center to be evaluated can be determined from a plurality of preset loss coefficients according to the target dry-bulb temperature and the correlation. For example, if the target dry-bulb temperature is 40℃, 0.0016 in the loss coefficient C can be determined as the loss coefficient of the evaporation loss water quantity of the data center to be evaluated.

[0064] The application can accurately determine the loss coefficient of the evaporative loss water quantity of the to-be-evaluated data center according to the target dry-bulb temperature and the correlation between the loss coefficient and the dry-bulb temperature, so that the evaporative loss water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time can be accurately determined based on the loss coefficient, the circulating water quantity of the cooling tower of the to-be-evaluated data center in a unit time, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower in a unit time. Then, based on the evaporative loss water quantity, the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time can be accurately determined. Thus, the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time is taken as the cooling water consumption, and the water source use efficiency of the to-be-evaluated data center in a unit time can be accurately determined based on the total power consumption of each information technology equipment in the to-be-evaluated data center in a unit time, the domestic water quantity of the to-be-evaluated data center in a unit time, and the water consumption of the humidification system in the to-be-evaluated data center in a unit time, which can avoid the problem that the evaluation result of the water source use efficiency is larger than the actual value and improve the accuracy of the evaluation value of the water source use efficiency of the data center.

[0065] In one embodiment, the evaporative loss water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time is determined based on the loss coefficient, the circulating water quantity of the cooling tower of the to-be-evaluated data center in a unit time, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower, and the method comprises the following steps. The loss coefficient is multiplied by the circulating water quantity of the cooling tower of the to-be-evaluated data center in a unit time to obtain a first product. The first product is multiplied by the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower, and a second product obtained is taken as the evaporative loss water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time.

[0066] Specifically, after the loss coefficient of the evaporative loss water quantity of the to-be-evaluated data center is obtained, the loss coefficient is multiplied by the circulating water quantity of the cooling tower of the to-be-evaluated data center in a unit time to obtain a first product.

[0067] The first product is multiplied by the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower, and a second product obtained is taken as the evaporative loss water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time. .

[0068] Specifically, the calculation of the evaporative loss water quantity can be achieved by the following method: ; Wherein, Q R represents the circulating water quantity (m 3 / h*correlation duration); T1 and T2 represent the inlet temperature and outlet temperature of the cooling water (℃) respectively; and C represents the loss coefficient (1 / ℃).

[0069] The application can accurately determine the evaporation loss water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time based on the loss coefficient, the circulating water quantity of the cooling tower of the data center to be evaluated in a unit time, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling water in the cooling tower, so that the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time can be accurately determined based on the evaporation loss water quantity. Thus, the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time is taken as the cooling water consumption, and the water source use efficiency of the data center to be evaluated in a unit time can be accurately determined by combining the total power consumption of each information technology equipment in the data center to be evaluated in a unit time, the domestic water quantity of the data center corresponding to a unit time, and the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated in a unit time, which can avoid the problem that the evaluation result of the water source use efficiency is larger than the actual value and improve the accuracy of the evaluation value of the water source use efficiency of the data center.

[0070] In one embodiment, based on the evaporation loss water quantity, the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time is determined, including: multiplying the evaporation loss water quantity by a preset concentration multiple to obtain a first result; the preset concentration multiple is used to reflect the water saving ability of the circulating water system; adding the preset concentration multiple and a preset threshold value to obtain a second result; performing a ratio operation on the first result and the second result, and determining the ratio operation result as the supplementary water quantity of the cooling tower in a unit time.

[0071] Specifically, the application can first determine the preset concentration multiple. The ratio of the salt content of the circulating cooling water to the supplementary water is called the concentration multiple, which reflects the water saving ability of the circulating water system.

[0072] In the application, the concentration multiple can be determined by the following method: ; wherein N represents the concentration multiple; C r represents the salt content (mg / L) of the circulating cooling water; C m represents the salt content (mg / L) of the supplementary water.

[0073] Therefore, the concentration multiple should be determined according to the circulating water quality requirement and the supplementary water quality. In actual operation, the ratio of the chloride ion or potassium ion concentration is used to control the N value. Under the premise of meeting the water quality requirement, increasing the concentration multiple can reduce the supplementary water quantity, but when the concentration multiple exceeds 5, the rate of reduction of the supplementary water quantity will become smaller and smaller. Therefore, the N value is generally 2-3, and does not exceed 5-6. In the application, the concentration multiple is set by the designer according to the actual situation.

[0074] Further, the evaporation loss water quantity can be multiplied by the preset concentration multiple to obtain a first result; the preset concentration multiple is further added to a preset threshold (which can be 1 in the present application) to obtain a second result; finally, the first result and the second result are subjected to ratio operation, and the ratio operation result is determined as the replenishment water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time .

[0075] More specifically, the calculation can be realized as follows: ; wherein Q e represents the evaporation loss water quantity (m 3 / h), and N represents the preset concentration multiple.

[0076] Further, when the unit time is a month, the application can also automatically generate a monthly hourly water replenishment quantity line graph according to the obtained replenishment water quantity, to intuitively reflect the hourly water replenishment quantity change. In addition, if the hourly replenishment water quantity is determined as the hourly water consumption quantity, the calculated hourly water consumption quantity can also be counted to obtain important design results such as the maximum hourly water consumption quantity, annual water consumption quantity, and A-level machine room pool volume.

[0077] Based on the evaporation loss water quantity, the application can accurately determine the replenishment water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time, so that the replenishment water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time is used as the cooling water consumption quantity, and the total power consumption of each information technology equipment in the data center to be evaluated in unit time, the domestic water quantity in unit time corresponding to the data center to be evaluated, and the water consumption quantity of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated in unit time are combined, so that the water source use efficiency of the data center to be evaluated in unit time can be accurately determined, which can avoid the problem that the evaluation result of the water source use efficiency is larger than the actual value, and improve the accuracy of the evaluation value of the water source use efficiency of the data center.

[0078] Based on the above embodiment, the replenishment water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time is used as the cooling water consumption quantity, and the total power consumption of each information technology equipment in the data center to be evaluated in unit time, the domestic water quantity in unit time corresponding to the data center to be evaluated, and the water consumption quantity of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated in unit time are combined to determine the water source use efficiency of the data center to be evaluated in unit time, including: The replenishment water quantity of the cooling tower in unit time is used as the cooling water consumption quantity, and the domestic water quantity in unit time corresponding to the data center to be evaluated and the water consumption quantity of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated in unit time are added to obtain an addition result; The addition result is subjected to ratio operation with the total power consumption of each information technology equipment in the data center to be evaluated in unit time, and the ratio operation result is determined as the water source use efficiency of the data center to be evaluated in unit time.

[0079] Specifically, the present application can determine the total power consumption of each information technology (IT) device in the data center to be evaluated per unit time, the domestic water consumption of the data center to be evaluated per unit time, and the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated per unit time, respectively.

[0080] For example, the total power consumption of each information technology (IT) device in the data center to be evaluated in the past year, the domestic water consumption of the data center to be evaluated in the past year, and the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated in the past year can be determined by relevant collection devices (such as electricity meters, water meters, etc.).

[0081] Further, the make-up water of the cooling tower per unit time can be taken as the cooling water consumption, and the domestic water consumption of the data center to be evaluated per unit time and the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated per unit time can be added to obtain an addition result.

[0082] Further, the addition result can be ratioed with the total power consumption of each information technology device in the data center to be evaluated per unit time, and the ratio result can be determined as the water source use efficiency of the data center to be evaluated per unit time. .

[0083] More specifically, the calculation can be realized as follows: ; Wherein, W represents the annual power consumption of the IT device (kW / h); Q A represents the domestic water consumption (m 3 / h); Q B represents the annual water consumption of the humidification system (m 3 / h).

[0084] The present application takes the make-up water of the cooling tower per unit time as the cooling water consumption, and combines the total power consumption of each information technology device in the data center to be evaluated per unit time, the domestic water consumption of the data center to be evaluated per unit time, and the water consumption of the humidification system in the data center to be evaluated per unit time, so that the water source use efficiency of the data center to be evaluated per unit time can be accurately determined, and the problem that the evaluation result of the water source use efficiency is larger than the actual value can be avoided, and the accuracy of the evaluation value of the water source use efficiency of the data center can be improved.

[0085] In one embodiment, the present application can be realized by office tools (such as Excel software, an electronic spreadsheet software) or other tools to conveniently and quickly execute the above-mentioned water source use efficiency evaluation method of the data center.
