Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of digital drive systems, and more particularly to a method, apparatus, device, and medium for visualizing the energy efficiency of digital drive systems. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, global energy consumption has been increasing. Total global energy consumption rose significantly to 580 terajoules in 2022 and is expected to continue increasing in the following year. However, conventional energy sources are finite, and we are still experiencing a global energy crisis and oil and gas shortages. Efforts are underway to address these issues, which can be divided into two objectives. One objective is to develop other sustainable alternatives, such as wind and nuclear power. The other objective is to optimize energy use methods, i.e., increase efficiency.
[0003] Industry in many countries remains energy-intensive. As estimated, the industrial sector accounts for 55% of the world's total energy consumption. Raising awareness of the environmental issues associated with electricity production sets a ceiling on energy consumption.
[0004] Digital drive systems integrate key components and power facilities, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, with motors consuming approximately 70% of industrial electricity. Therefore, it is clear that there is a need to improve the energy efficiency of drive systems. Summary of the Invention

[0021] List of reference numerals in the attached diagram: Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the following examples are provided to further explain this invention in detail.
[0023] For the sake of brevity and intuitiveness, the present invention will be described below through several representative embodiments. Numerous details in the embodiments are provided solely to aid in understanding the invention. However, it is obvious that the technical solutions of the present invention can be implemented without being limited to these details. To avoid unnecessarily obscuring the invention, some embodiments are not described in detail, but only outlines are given. In the following text, "comprising" means "comprising but not limited to," and "according to..." means "at least according to..., but not limited to...". When the number of elements is not specifically indicated below, it means that the elements may be one or more, or can be understood as at least one.
[0024] Following the investigation, at least the following technical problems have been identified in the existing technology: Technical Problem 1: Existing technologies mainly focus on the overall equipment and make recommendations based on the value of the product produced or the cost in the process. Few studies consider the mechanical and electrical characteristics of the transmission system.
[0025] Technical Issue 2: Existing technologies for industrial efficiency cannot establish robust evaluation models that take into account the differences in end-user instruments. For example, the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program provides pumping system evaluation tools that can only identify the current operating status of the pumping system.
[0026] Technical Issue 3: Despite progress in finding optimal parameters for drivetrain systems, the lack of visualization tools results in data opacity for users and fails to help them make decisions to improve drivetrain efficiency.
[0027] Therefore, tools for the analysis, diagnosis, optimization, and visualization of a complete transmission system are needed.
[0028] Existing technologies regarding the energy efficiency of drive systems typically consider the internal structure of the motor, with little regard for the dynamic characteristics of external loads. Others place drive systems within limited application scenarios, with vehicles and trains being a preferred area of research. Research focuses on specific end-user instruments and their key energy consumption patterns.
[0029] Traditional Method 1: Energy efficiency of the motor in the transmission system
[0030] The electric motor acts as a converter in a drive system, transmitting electrical input to torque output. Traditional methods for evaluating motor energy efficiency include the nameplate method, differential method, current method, statistical method, equivalent circuit method, and loss analysis method. However, these methods are inaccurate due to their reliance on technical manuals and empirical parameters. They also disrupt operation. P. Pillay et al. created a method using a genetic algorithm (GA) to identify some unavailable parameters online. Gomaa F. Abdelnaby et al. proposed a controller for meaningless speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) using a PI controller and fuzzy control. Chong Liu developed software for fault diagnosis and efficiency monitoring of motor systems, measuring power factor, current, and torque. These methods are suitable for measuring motor energy efficiency individually and do not consider load type.
[0031] Traditional Method 2: Energy Efficiency of Transmission Systems in Vehicles and Trains
[0032] A key theme in drivetrain efficiency is its performance within vehicles. Jorge O. Estima et al. studied traction in two drivetrain topologies for electric and hybrid vehicles, including pulse-width modulation (PWM) inverters connected to a PMSM, where energy efficiency was specifically considered, different modes were used, and a variable voltage control strategy was applied. Similarly, Sheldon S. Williamson et al. presented efficiency plots of inverters and traction motors in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). Agostinho Rocha et al. proposed a simulated annealing optimization algorithm to minimize train traction energy. These methods have limitations in analyzing drivetrains within vehicle or train contexts.
[0033] Traditional Method 3: Energy Efficiency of Specific User Instruments
[0034] The system efficiency of drive systems with user-defined instruments has not received much attention. Xun Wang developed a portable online fan efficiency testing system based on an equivalent circuit model. Yan Qiu Du et al. optimized the circulating water system of a thermal power plant by adding variable frequency control and calculating the optimal frequency. These methods are applicable to specific end users.
[0035] However, specifically, the above methods have drawbacks. Limitation 1: No universal motor efficiency analysis algorithm has been established. Limitation 2: Systems integrating different variable frequency speed control methods are required, including v / f control, vector control, and slip control. Limitation 3: The problem of multi-drive systems with dynamic loads in industrial applications needs to be addressed. Limitation 4: Few studies consider the diversity of end-users and are only applicable to specific instruments, making it difficult to scale up.
[0036] Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for evaluating and optimizing the energy consumption of drive systems with different applications (e.g., fans, water pumps, compressors). Accurate analysis and diagnostics based on key energy consumption instruments from OEMs and end-users help identify energy loss saving potential and intelligently optimize the overall drive system's energy efficiency. Transparency and optimization of individual and multiple drive systems are achieved based on the application using smart terminals (e.g., IoT 2050, edge devices, IPC nanometers, etc.). Control signals are then transmitted to the drives and motors to help optimize drive system energy efficiency and performance.

[0060] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the visualization and optimization process of a digital drive system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0061] exist Figure 4 In this digital drivetrain, there are an IOT2050 device 54, a PLC 53, a frequency converter drive 50, a motor 51, and an application device 52. The application device 52 can be a single device or multiple devices. When the application device is a single device, a single digital drivetrain 80 is formed. When the application device is multiple devices, multiple digital drivetrains 81 are formed. The application device 52 may include pumps, fans, etc.
[0062] The main functions can be described in the following two parts: Energy Efficiency Transparency 60: In the transparency phase, accurate diagnostics 63 are performed to help inform power demand and detect abnormal energy. First, energy consumption and efficiency-related data are acquired, and the parameters are visualized in the visualization process 61. Next, the efficiency of the entire drivetrain is analyzed in the energy efficiency analysis 62, and finally, a diagnosis 63 is provided.
[0063] Energy Efficiency Optimization 70: To assess and optimize energy consumption in various applications involving pumps, fans, and compressors, the toolbox can calculate the potential for efficiency improvements and obtain optimal PDS parameters 73 (e.g., default value setting algorithms or model identification, PID adaptive tuning for vector control). In multi-pump scenarios, performance curves are used to achieve optimal control 74.
[0064] Therefore, the goal of minimum energy consumption is achieved through the implementation of the optimization method. Inverter parameter optimization brings about the ideal response of the aggregate. Torque and speed oscillations are eliminated through continuous data identification and fuzzy control, ensuring stable operation. Dynamic loads can be addressed by continuously identifying and optimizing parameters. Online data is used for continuous adaptation to determine the parameters of V / f control. Fluid characteristic curves can be accurately represented through continuous adaptation using online data. Furthermore, several function-based applications are analyzed in detail, revealing technical features: Efficiency analysis of the transmission system: Technical Feature 1: Embodiments of the present invention make the operating efficiency of each part of the transmission system transparent under different load differences and provide quantitative tracking of energy loss.
[0065] Under different load conditions, the operating efficiency of each component in the transmission system lacks quantitative tracking of energy loss, resulting in opacity. To improve energy transparency and provide optimization direction for overall system efficiency, the efficiency of variable frequency drives, motors, and pumps under different load conditions can be automatically identified. Furthermore, efficiency models for variable frequency drives, motors, and pumps, along with power consumption models, can be used to calculate and display the energy loss of each component in real time. Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the power loss of a digital drive system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0066] exist Figure 6 In the visualization interface, the total power is shown to be 80, and the power after passing through the inverter drive 41 is 77. Therefore, the power loss of inverter 41 is 3. Similarly, the power loss of motor 42 is 6, the power loss of pump 43 is 10, the power loss of throttling value 44 is 0, and the power loss of other components is 27.
[0067] Energy consumption and energy efficiency diagnosis: Technical Feature 2: Detects energy efficiency potential and automatically suggests corresponding implementation methods.
[0068] Detecting the energy efficiency potential in conventional digital drive systems relies on operator checks. By analyzing current and projected data and using historical data to predict energy consumption and efficiency, energy efficiency potential can be automatically detected, and practical, actionable recommendations can be provided to help users reduce energy loss and save energy, such as… Figure 5 As shown in the image.
[0069] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the energy consumption and efficiency diagnostic workflow according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 In the process, historical data 92 (e.g., energy consumption and efficiency) is input into the prediction algorithm 90 to output predicted data, such as predicted energy consumption and predicted efficiency. The predicted data and current data 93 are input into the diagnostic module 91 to output diagnostic results 94. The prediction algorithm 90 is calibrated in the model calibration process 95 by comparing the difference between the actual data and the predicted data.
[0070] Embodiments of this invention employ a speed control mode, which improves energy efficiency and implements flow rates for specific processes. The entire equipment characteristic is transformed by the speed controller to achieve the desired flow rate. Traditional fluid characteristic curve control methods face challenges in accurately translating pump performance curves into inverter setpoints, and the five full-scale parameters are often insufficient to reflect the fluid. To accurately reflect load changes, the fluid characteristic curve can be corrected by incorporating actual speed, torque, power unit overload I²t, current, and voltage signals, and the distribution of the five parameter sets can be adaptively adjusted based on process information or data analysis of the load change range.
[0071] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention have at least the following advantages: Advantage 1: This invention enables online data analysis and optimization by combining historical data, and uses adaptive algorithms to handle dynamic loads and multi-drive systems. It is practical and can help users meet government requirements, ensure future operation, save operating costs, and improve competitiveness.
[0072] Advantage 2: The developed visual interface makes data and analysis transparent, thereby saving operators time and workload in checking for anomalies and providing guidance for future planning and decision-making.
[0073] Advantage 3: Users can optimize energy efficiency with a single click without needing prior knowledge of the entire drivetrain's domain skills. The method automatically identifies gaps and potential.
[0074] Advantage 4: The embodiments of this invention mainly involve several data analysis and intelligent optimization methods based on transmission systems; therefore, they do not involve violations of privacy rights, environmental pollution, etc. The methods can be further extended to third-party transmission systems in the future.
