Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy-saving control based on industrial internet and AI edge computing, specifically relating to an energy-saving control method and system based on industrial internet and AI edge computing. Background Technology
[0002] Energy-saving control methods based on the Industrial Internet and AI edge computing are intelligent control approaches that combine Industrial Internet and AI edge computing technologies to improve industrial production efficiency and reduce energy consumption. By connecting all equipment, machines, and systems in a factory or industrial facility through sensors, devices, and intelligent systems, a vast data network is formed. This data includes equipment operating status, energy consumption, environmental factors, etc. Instead of transmitting all data to the cloud for computation, data processing and intelligent decision-making are performed on edge devices. This reduces latency, improves real-time performance, and alleviates the demand for network bandwidth. AI algorithms can analyze real-time data at these edge nodes and make energy-saving optimization decisions. This method utilizes real-time data acquired from the Industrial Internet, analyzes it through AI edge computing, and automatically adjusts the operating status or production parameters of equipment to achieve energy efficiency optimization. This includes dynamically adjusting machine operating modes or operating times to avoid ineffective or excessive energy consumption; predicting the energy efficiency status of equipment for proactive maintenance or optimization; and achieving optimal energy use strategies based on environmental and production conditions. The energy-saving control system typically adapts to changes in the production process to ensure that energy use throughout the entire production process is always optimized.
[0003] However, while existing energy-saving control methods based on the Industrial Internet and AI edge computing have great potential in improving industrial energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption, they also have some shortcomings and challenges. Existing energy-saving control methods still have some problems, including data processing lag, high system complexity, and poor equipment compatibility. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide an energy-saving control method and system based on the Industrial Internet and AI edge computing. By combining the real-time data acquisition capabilities of the Industrial Internet with the intelligent decision-making capabilities of AI edge computing, more efficient and intelligent energy-saving control can be achieved.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0010] Based on the prediction results, the edge computing nodes execute energy-saving decisions, which include adjusting equipment operating parameters and optimizing production scheduling operations.
[0011] The energy-saving effect is monitored through a feedback mechanism, and the data is returned to the edge computing node to continuously optimize the control strategy.
[0012] As a preferred method, the operation status data of the production equipment is collected in real time by sensors deployed on the equipment, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, pressure, and energy consumption parameters, and the data is transmitted to the edge computing node via the Industrial Internet.

[0030] The accuracy of the filling can be further improved by combining KNN and regression analysis interpolation techniques.
[0031] As a preferred method, the preprocessed data is analyzed using deep learning or reinforcement learning algorithms to predict the energy consumption trend of the equipment and identify potential energy-saving opportunities.
[0032] A deep neural network is used for regression tasks to predict the energy consumption trend of equipment.

The model is trained to identify the patterns and trends of energy consumption and to predict future energy demand.
[0033] The Q-learning algorithm is adopted. Q-learning is a value function-based reinforcement learning method used in discrete state space. Q-learning learns the state-action value function to gradually optimize the control strategy of the device and dynamically adjust the working state of the device.
[0034] By using deep learning or reinforcement learning models, abnormal patterns in equipment operation can be identified. These abnormal patterns include sudden spikes in energy consumption or unexpected equipment behavior.

[0054] Based on feedback signals, adjust equipment operating parameters or optimize production scheduling strategies to ensure that energy-saving effects meet expectations.
[0055] Because there is a certain delay in the feedback signal, the control strategy is adjusted in advance based on historical data and prediction results;
[0056] Reinforcement learning algorithms optimize strategies by continuously acquiring environmental feedback. In energy-saving control, feedback information on the operating status of equipment is fed back to the learning model as a reward signal, and the model continuously adjusts its control strategy based on these reward signals.
[0057] The specific steps are as follows:

[0083] Example
[0084] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:
[0085] The energy-saving control method based on the Industrial Internet and AI edge computing includes the following steps:
[0086] The system collects real-time operating status data of the equipment by deploying sensors on the production equipment, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, pressure, and energy consumption parameters, and transmits the data to edge computing nodes through the Industrial Internet.
[0087] Edge computing nodes preprocess the received raw data, removing noise and handling missing values;
[0088] Deep learning or reinforcement learning algorithms are used to analyze the preprocessed data to predict the energy consumption trend of the equipment and identify potential energy-saving opportunities;
[0089] Based on the prediction results, the edge computing nodes execute energy-saving decisions, which include adjusting equipment operating parameters and optimizing production scheduling operations.
[0090] The energy-saving effect is monitored through a feedback mechanism, and the data is returned to the edge computing node to continuously optimize the control strategy.
[0091] By deploying sensors on production equipment, real-time data on equipment operation status is collected, enabling real-time monitoring of equipment status. Edge computing nodes preprocess the received data, removing noise and filling in missing values to make the data more accurate and reliable. Deep learning or reinforcement learning algorithms analyze the preprocessed data to predict energy consumption trends based on historical data and current status, and identify potential energy-saving opportunities. Based on the prediction results, edge computing nodes automatically execute energy-saving decisions, adjusting equipment operating parameters and optimizing production scheduling. The decision-making process requires no manual intervention, and the system can adapt to different situations. The system monitors energy-saving effects through a feedback mechanism and returns data to the edge computing nodes, thereby continuously optimizing the control strategy. This reduces manual intervention and complex operations, with energy-saving control strategies based on automated and intelligent execution. By optimizing equipment operating parameters, excessive consumption or overload is avoided, improving equipment operating efficiency and reducing equipment failure rates.
[0092] The method of collecting real-time operational status data of production equipment through sensors deployed on the equipment, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, pressure, and energy consumption parameters, and transmitting the data to edge computing nodes via the Industrial Internet is as follows:
[0093] Temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, power meters, and flow meters are installed on production equipment to monitor the equipment's operating status in real time. The sensors are connected to edge computing nodes via wired or wireless means to periodically collect the equipment's operating data and convert the data into digital signals.
[0094] During the data acquisition phase, the sensor or edge computing node performs data preprocessing operations, which include:
[0095] Remove noise from sensor readings;
[0096] Imput or label missing values;
[0097] Filter or mark data indicating abnormal equipment status;
[0098] After data acquisition, the sensor will transmit the data to the edge computing node through a standardized industrial communication protocol.
[0099] By installing sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure, power, and flow on production equipment, the operating status of the equipment can be monitored in real time. Data preprocessing operations, including noise reduction, missing value imputation, and anomaly filtering, can significantly improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the data. Using standardized industrial communication protocols to transmit data to edge computing nodes ensures compatibility between devices and stable data transmission. After the data collected by sensors is transmitted to the edge computing nodes, it can be dynamically adjusted based on real-time data. By performing data preprocessing and local computation at the edge computing nodes, only important processing results or summary data are transmitted to the cloud or data center. Processing data locally at the edge computing nodes avoids the long-distance transmission of large amounts of sensitive data, reducing the risk of data leakage. By accumulating and analyzing long-term operating data of the equipment, potential energy-saving opportunities, production optimization points, and early signs of equipment failure can be identified, thereby helping enterprises formulate long-term optimization strategies.
[0100] The edge computing nodes preprocess the received raw data, removing noise and handling missing values using the following methods:
[0101] Data noise originates from sensor malfunctions, environmental interference, or data transmission errors. To ensure data reliability and accuracy, noise removal methods include:
[0102] Reduce short-term fluctuations in data by using weighted averages or sliding windows;
[0103] A filter is used to remove high-frequency noise while retaining low-frequency signals;
[0104] Outliers were identified and removed using Z-Score and IQR statistical methods.
[0105] Multi-scale decomposition is used to remove noise while preserving the main features of the signal;
[0106] Methods for handling missing values:
[0107] Directly delete samples containing missing values. If most of the data for a certain feature is missing, delete that feature.
[0108] Methods for imputing data by inferring the range of missing values include:
[0109] Fill in the missing values using the mean or median of the column;
[0110] Calculate missing values based on the linear relationship between two adjacent known data points;
[0111] The accuracy of the filling can be further improved by combining KNN and regression analysis interpolation techniques.
[0112] Noise removal and missing value imputation significantly improve the quality of raw data, ensuring its reliability and validity. Statistical methods such as Z-Score and IQR effectively remove outliers, preventing these outliers from distorting the analysis results. Multiple methods for handling missing values are provided, including deleting data containing missing values, mean / median imputation, and interpolation techniques. Noise removal methods can remove short-term fluctuations and high-frequency noise while preserving the main characteristics of the signal. The solution combines multiple noise removal and missing value handling methods, allowing for flexible selection based on different data characteristics, ensuring both the accuracy of data preprocessing and the flexibility and adaptability of the system.
[0113] The method of using deep learning or reinforcement learning algorithms to analyze preprocessed data, predict equipment energy consumption trends, and identify potential energy-saving opportunities is as follows:
[0114] A deep neural network is used for regression tasks to predict the energy consumption trend of equipment. The input data includes the historical energy consumption of the equipment, the operating environment and the equipment status characteristics. The model is trained to identify the patterns and trends of energy consumption and to predict future energy demand.
[0115] The Q-learning algorithm is adopted. Q-learning is a value function-based reinforcement learning method used in discrete state space. Q-learning learns the state-action value function to gradually optimize the control strategy of the device and dynamically adjust the working state of the device.
[0116] By using deep learning or reinforcement learning models, abnormal patterns in equipment operation can be identified. These abnormal patterns include sudden spikes in energy consumption or unexpected equipment behavior.
[0117] Clustering algorithms are used to perform cluster analysis on the operating status and energy consumption patterns of equipment, identify low-energy-consumption operating modes, and optimize the equipment's operating strategy based on different operating modes to achieve energy-saving goals.
[0118] By using deep neural networks for regression tasks, energy consumption trends of equipment can be accurately identified, and potential patterns can be mined from historical data. Q-learning, as a type of reinforcement learning, can automatically optimize control strategies based on the current state of the equipment. Through learning the state-action value function, the system can continuously improve the control method of the equipment in actual operation and reduce energy consumption. Deep learning and reinforcement learning models can not only predict the normal operating state of the equipment, but also help to discover abnormal patterns in the operation of the equipment. By clustering algorithms to perform cluster analysis on the operating state and energy consumption patterns of the equipment, efficient and low-energy-consumption operation modes can be identified. The solution combines a variety of advanced data-driven technologies such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, and clustering algorithms to provide a comprehensive and systematic energy-saving optimization strategy.
[0119] Based on the prediction results, the edge computing nodes execute energy-saving decisions, which involve adjusting equipment operating parameters and optimizing production scheduling operations.
[0120] Based on predicted energy consumption trends and equipment operating status, edge computing nodes adjust equipment operating parameters in real time. By adjusting equipment power, operating speed, start-stop frequency, or temperature parameters, they ensure that the equipment operates in the most energy-efficient state.
[0121] The specific steps are as follows:
[0122] Adjust the load or operating intensity of equipment based on energy consumption forecasts;
[0123] By controlling the power consumption of the equipment, the motor speed and fan speed are automatically adjusted.
[0124] Schedule equipment start-up and shutdown based on predicted demand fluctuations;
[0125] Control the temperature of heaters or cooling equipment to ensure they only operate when demand is high;
[0126] Based on predicted energy consumption trends, edge computing nodes optimize production scheduling operations, which include task allocation for equipment, production sequence, and process arrangement.
[0127] The specific steps are as follows:
[0128] Based on energy consumption forecasts and equipment operating status, the priority of production tasks is dynamically adjusted, and high-energy-consuming tasks are assigned when equipment load is low.
[0129] In a multi-device environment, production tasks are allocated based on equipment energy efficiency and load forecasting to ensure balanced equipment load.
[0130] Adjust the pace or rate of production based on energy consumption forecasts;
[0131] Adjust production processes based on forecast results, and optimize the execution time and resource allocation for each process.
[0132] Edge computing nodes can make rapid decisions based on real-time energy consumption predictions and equipment operating status, and dynamically adjust equipment operating parameters. By predicting energy consumption trends and equipment status, edge computing nodes can optimize production scheduling, rationally arrange equipment load, avoid equipment overwork, and ensure automatic adjustment of equipment start-up and shutdown during demand fluctuations to avoid energy waste. By optimizing production rhythm and processes based on energy consumption predictions, production operations during inefficient periods can be reduced, and the execution time of each process can be adjusted to avoid wasting resources and time. By adjusting equipment operating parameters in real time and optimizing production scheduling, equipment is prevented from running under high load for extended periods, reducing the risk of equipment failure and damage. Edge computing enables energy-saving decisions to respond quickly to real-time changes and has high adaptability. When production needs or the environment change, the system can adjust immediately, making the production process more flexible and adaptable.
[0133] The method of continuously optimizing the control strategy by monitoring energy-saving effects through a feedback mechanism and returning the data to the edge computing node is as follows:
[0134] During equipment operation, edge computing nodes continuously monitor real-time data of the equipment and return feedback information to the control system. Based on the feedback results, the system dynamically adjusts the equipment operating parameters or scheduling strategies.
[0135] The specific steps are as follows:
[0136] Real-time data collection of equipment operation is achieved through sensors and monitoring systems;
[0137] Monitoring data is transmitted back to the decision-making system through edge computing nodes, and feedback signals are generated to indicate the gap between the current energy efficiency status of the equipment and the target.
[0138] Based on feedback signals, adjust equipment operating parameters or optimize production scheduling strategies to ensure that energy-saving effects meet expectations.
[0139] Because there is a certain delay in the feedback signal, the control strategy is adjusted in advance based on historical data and prediction results;
[0140] Reinforcement learning algorithms optimize strategies by continuously acquiring environmental feedback. In energy-saving control, feedback information on the operating status of equipment is fed back to the learning model as a reward signal, and the model continuously adjusts its control strategy based on these reward signals.
[0141] The specific steps are as follows:
[0142] After each control action, the change in the device's operating state is fed back as a reward to Q-learning or other reinforcement learning algorithms to evaluate the effectiveness of the current strategy;
[0143] Reinforcement learning algorithms continuously adjust their policy functions based on feedback signals;
[0144] The model adapts to environmental changes over time and gradually improves the control strategy based on historical data and feedback signals;
[0145] Adaptive control strategies automatically adjust control parameters or strategies by analyzing feedback data in real time, and adjust the parameters of the model according to real-time feedback to maintain energy-saving optimization under different operating conditions.
[0146] The specific steps are as follows:
[0147] Based on feedback data, the parameters of the equipment control model are dynamically updated;
[0148] When the external environment changes, the adaptive control strategy adjusts the control decisions according to the new environmental data;
[0149] Edge computing nodes adjust control algorithms based on real-time monitoring data to dynamically optimize the working status of the devices;
[0150] Edge computing nodes perform local decision-making and control operations, and through integration with cloud computing platforms, they use cloud computing capabilities to analyze and store data. The feedback mechanism enables data communication between edge nodes and cloud platforms, and continuously optimizes control strategies.
[0151] The specific steps are as follows:
[0152] Edge computing nodes collect device operation data in real time through sensors and perform preliminary analysis and decision-making based on local algorithms;
[0153] Edge computing nodes upload feedback data to the cloud platform, where more sophisticated machine learning models are used to further analyze energy-saving effects and generate optimization suggestions.
[0154] The cloud platform will return optimization suggestions to the edge nodes, and the edge nodes will then adjust the device's operating parameters or scheduling schemes according to the new strategy.
[0155] This solution utilizes feedback mechanisms and reinforcement learning algorithms to ensure continuous optimization of energy-saving effects. Edge computing nodes dynamically adjust equipment operating parameters or scheduling strategies based on real-time feedback data, promptly correcting deviations and ensuring equipment always operates in its most energy-efficient state. Adaptive control strategies and reinforcement learning algorithms can adjust control strategies in a timely manner according to changes in the external environment. Through real-time monitoring and feedback data transmission, the system can automatically adjust equipment operating parameters or production scheduling strategies, eliminating the delay of manual intervention and improving response speed. Reinforcement learning algorithms optimize control strategies based on feedback signals, continuously adjusting and improving strategy functions to enhance energy-saving effects. The combination of edge computing nodes and cloud computing platforms enables the system to quickly respond to changes in equipment operation locally while leveraging the powerful computing capabilities of the cloud for in-depth analysis and optimization. By dynamically adjusting the operating status of equipment, prolonged high-load operation or frequent start / stop operations are avoided, thereby reducing equipment wear and extending equipment lifespan. The system's feedback mechanism clearly reflects the execution effect of energy-saving strategies, allowing managers to view energy-saving data in real time, evaluate the effectiveness of control strategies, and make timely adjustments.

[0160] The feedback system module is used to track energy-saving effects in real time and transmit feedback information to edge computing nodes for decision optimization.
[0161] The sensor network module collects real-time operating data from production equipment, enabling timely understanding of the equipment's working status. Edge computing nodes process the collected data and execute energy-saving decisions in real time, avoiding data transmission delays to the cloud. AI models on edge computing nodes can analyze historical data to predict future energy consumption trends and provide optimization decisions. The central control platform module communicates with edge computing nodes through the Industrial Internet, collecting data from the entire plant and performing global monitoring and scheduling. The feedback system tracks energy-saving effects in real time and returns feedback information to the edge computing node module for further decision optimization. This system continuously optimizes energy-saving control strategies to avoid unnecessary energy waste and reduce energy consumption during equipment overload operation and idle states, thereby achieving energy-saving goals. The combination of AI models and edge computing nodes gives the system strong intelligent capabilities, enabling it to automatically adjust control strategies based on real-time data.

[0164] Kalman filtering can effectively reduce noise and uncertainty in sensor data, especially in dynamic systems. For missing values in equipment operation data, mean imputation is used to fill the gaps when data is missing within a certain time period. Linear interpolation is used to estimate the missing values based on the trend of changes in preceding and following data points. Standardization is applied to various types of equipment operation data to eliminate dimensional differences between different data dimensions. Regularization is used to appropriately scale the equipment operation data to prevent certain features from being too large and causing bias in subsequent analysis.
[0165] Historical operating data of the equipment is collected in real time through sensors, including but not limited to temperature, humidity, pressure, load, and energy consumption parameters. This data can be stored in a central database or cloud data storage. Based on time series data, a deep learning model suitable for predicting the energy consumption trend of the equipment is selected, and an appropriate loss function is selected to evaluate the prediction error, which is mean squared error or mean absolute error.
[0166] Reinforcement learning is a machine learning method that learns optimal decision-making strategies through interaction with the environment. In production scheduling optimization, the goal of reinforcement learning is to learn a scheduling strategy that balances energy consumption and production efficiency by having an agent continuously interact with the production environment.
