Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building power planning, and specifically to a method for low-carbon management of building energy consumption by tracking carbon emission factors from the power grid. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing severity of global climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions has become a focus of attention for countries worldwide. As a significant source of energy consumption and carbon emissions, the low-carbon transformation and optimized control of building energy systems are crucial for achieving dual-carbon goals. In modern industrial parks, photovoltaic power generation systems, as a representative of clean energy, are widely used in buildings, providing renewable energy support. Simultaneously, the widespread adoption of electric vehicle charging facilities and the high energy consumption of air conditioning systems are placing higher demands on building energy systems.

[0003] However, current building energy control focuses primarily on economic efficiency or supply-demand balance, lacking real-time tracking and dynamic optimization of carbon emissions. Existing technologies typically use fixed values ​​or annual averages to obtain carbon emission factors, failing to reflect real-time changes in the grid's carbon emission intensity. This leads to inaccurate carbon emission calculations and hinders truly low-carbon operation. Furthermore, insufficient coordination and control among various energy-consuming devices within buildings (such as photovoltaics, air conditioning, and electric vehicles) often fails to simultaneously meet user energy needs while maintaining both low-carbon and economic efficiency.
