Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of artificial intelligence technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment, medium, and program product for determining energy-saving strategies. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, with the deepening of global efforts to address climate change and the continuous advancement of the "dual carbon" strategic goals, the green transformation of the information and communication industry, as the core infrastructure of the digital economy, has become an inevitable trend. Existing data centers and communication equipment rooms, as major energy consumers in the industry, generally suffer from high Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and an unreasonable energy structure due to aging equipment, outdated technical architecture, and low system efficiency.
[0003] In existing technologies, for energy-saving renovations of the aforementioned computer rooms, the computer room parameters can be collected before the energy-saving renovation to establish a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and calculate the power efficiency (PUE). Then, a preset engineering renovation plan (such as closing cold / hot aisles, sealing cabinet gaps, etc.) can be used to carry out energy-saving renovations of the computer room. After the renovation, the PUE can be calculated again using the CFD model. By comparing the PUE values before and after the renovation, a decision can be made on whether to use the engineering renovation plan.
[0004] However, since the above solutions only compare PUE and lack a multi-dimensional and systematic quantitative assessment system for the current status of the data center, the transformation effect cannot meet expectations due to the single decision-making basis and poor adaptability of the solutions. Thus, the accuracy of data center energy-saving transformation is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The following is a detailed description of the energy-saving strategy determination method, apparatus, equipment, medium, and procedure products provided in this application, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0034] The terms "at least one," "at least one of," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application refer to any one, any two, or a combination of two or more of the included items. For example, at least one of a, b, and c can mean: "a," "b," "c," "a and b," "a and c," "b and c," and "a, b, and c," where a, b, and c can be single or multiple. Similarly, "at least two" refers to two or more items, and its meaning is similar to that of "at least one."
[0035] In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0036] The technical terms used in the embodiments of this application will be explained in detail below.
[0037] Existing data centers: Existing data centers refer to data centers that have been built and put into use, typically meaning data centers that exist at the current point in time and have not been demolished or abandoned. These data centers include older data centers that require energy-saving renovations.
[0038] Model: A model is a simulation or abstraction of certain characteristics and inherent relationships of objective reality. A model is a role. The concept of a model can be defined as follows: a thing is called a "model" because of its role or purpose in a specific situation—in that situation, it directly or indirectly carries certain attributes of another thing, and based on these attributes, it acts as a substitute or representation of that thing; thus, by using the attributes obtained from the model, the correlation between operations and the corresponding attributes of that thing can be achieved.
[0039] Energy-saving renovation: Energy-saving renovation of existing data centers refers to the process of systematically optimizing the energy efficiency of old data centers that have been in operation for a long time and whose PUE does not meet the standards, in order to meet the increasingly stringent energy efficiency standards and green operation requirements.
[0040] The present application provides an energy-saving strategy determination method, apparatus, equipment, medium, and program product that can be applied to energy-saving renovation of existing computer rooms.
[0041] Driven by global climate change and my country's "dual-carbon" strategy, the information and communication industry, as the cornerstone of the digital economy, is facing increasingly prominent issues regarding energy consumption and carbon emissions. Existing data centers and communication equipment rooms, as major energy consumers in the industry, generally suffer from high Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and unreasonable energy structures due to aging equipment, outdated technical architecture, and low system efficiency. Industry surveys and actual measurement data show that the PUE values of many existing data centers in my country are still in the relatively high range of 1.5 to 2.5, far below the advanced level of below 1.3 required for the development of new data centers. The ineffective losses of their air conditioning and power supply systems often exceed 55%, indicating huge potential for renovation. Energy-saving renovation of existing data centers has become a rigid requirement for achieving the industry's green transformation.
[0042] In one existing technology, the computer room parameters can be collected before the energy-saving renovation of the computer room to establish a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and calculate the power consumption effect (PUE). Then, a preset engineering renovation plan (such as closing the cold / hot aisle, sealing the cabinet gaps, etc.) is used to carry out the energy-saving renovation of the computer room. The PUE is calculated again by the CFD model. The decision on whether to use the engineering renovation plan is made by comparing the PUE values before and after the renovation.
[0043] However, the core decision-making basis of the above-mentioned solutions is singular (i.e., only comparing PUE), lacking a multi-dimensional and systematic quantitative assessment system for the current state of the data center. Furthermore, its "engineering transformation model" is pre-set, and the solution generation lacks an intelligent matching and grading mechanism with the specific current status scores of the data center (such as equipment health and management maturity). The adaptability and economic optimization of the transformation solution rely on pre-set human experience rather than automatic derivation based on quantitative scores. In addition, this method focuses on the simulation verification of a single transformation, failing to form a complete closed-loop optimization mechanism that includes effect verification and continuous calibration of model parameters, making it difficult to accumulate experience and achieve self-evolution of the predictive model.
[0044] Another approach involves sealing the sides, top, and ends of the cold aisle using a detachable structure and sealing strips. This isolates cold air within the enclosed space, preventing it from reaching the servers and improving heat dissipation, reducing air conditioning energy consumption, and stabilizing temperature and humidity. However, this approach is a specific "point-based" technical modification (i.e., sealing the cold aisle), rather than a systemic modification decision-making method. It focuses entirely on the engineering implementation of a single technical measure, without addressing the quantitative assessment of the overall energy efficiency of the data center, the comparison and selection of multiple energy-saving technologies, or the quantitative verification and optimization loop of the post-modification effects. Its application presupposes that the "sealed cold aisle" measure has already been decided upon, failing to answer higher-level systemic decision-making questions such as "Should this data center be modified?", "Why choose this option among many modification plans?", and "How much will the overall energy efficiency be improved after the modification?". It lacks a holistic perspective and quantitative decision support.
[0045] In summary, most existing energy-saving retrofit methods and technical solutions for existing data centers focus on using CFD simulations to verify the energy-saving effect of a single technical solution (such as a closed cold aisle) or to provide specific engineering retrofit structural solutions. They fail to consider that in the systematic retrofit of existing data centers, due to the complexity of the current state of the data center, the diversity of retrofit objectives (energy efficiency, economy, management), and the variety of technical solutions, the retrofit results are prone to falling short of expectations, resulting in low return on investment and an inability to continuously optimize due to the lack of quantitative evaluation standards, poor solution adaptability, and single decision-making basis.
[0046] To address the aforementioned technical issues, embodiments of this application provide a method, apparatus, equipment, medium, and program product for determining energy-saving strategies. By constructing a data center energy efficiency assessment model across multiple dimensions, including data center equipment dimensions, energy dimensions, energy-saving dimensions, and energy consumption control dimensions, for the first data center, the system can combine multi-dimensional decision information with the data center energy efficiency assessment model to output accurate energy-saving renovation strategies for the first data center. This enables precise renovation tailored to each data center, thereby improving the accuracy of data center energy-saving renovations.
[0047] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the energy-saving strategy determination method, apparatus, equipment, medium, and program products provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0049] In some embodiments, the energy-saving strategy determination device 101 may be a server, a computer, or a processor or processing unit within a server or computer.

It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not limit the specific device form of the energy-saving strategy determination device 101. Figure 1 The energy-saving strategy determination device 101 is illustrated using a single server as an example.
[0050] In some embodiments, the terminal device may be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, handheld computer, in-vehicle electronic device, mobile internet device (MID), augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, robot, wearable device, personal computer (PC), ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook, or personal digital assistant (PDA), etc., and the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit it. Figure 1 The example shown is a mobile phone, with terminal device 102 as an example.
[0051] In some embodiments, the terminal device 102 sends a first set of evaluation parameters to the energy-saving strategy determination device 101. The energy-saving strategy determination device 101 receives the first set of evaluation parameters sent by the terminal device 102, inputs the first set of evaluation parameters into the energy efficiency evaluation model of the first data center, performs an energy efficiency score on the first set of evaluation parameters, and outputs a first energy efficiency score for the first data center. Then, based on the first energy efficiency score, it determines an energy-saving renovation strategy for the first data center. Finally, the energy-saving strategy determination device 101 sends the energy-saving renovation strategy for the first data center to the terminal device 102.
[0052] It should be noted that the network architecture described in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. As network architectures evolve, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0064] In some embodiments, the energy-saving strategy determination device can acquire the aforementioned data room energy consumption parameters, equipment performance parameters, data room layout parameters, and data room environmental parameters through data sensors in the first data room.
[0065] Step 202: The energy-saving strategy determination device inputs the first set of evaluation parameters into the energy efficiency evaluation model of the first computer room, performs energy efficiency scoring on the first set of evaluation parameters, and outputs the first energy efficiency score corresponding to the first computer room.
[0066] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned data center energy efficiency assessment model is constructed based on data center information corresponding to M dimensions of the first data center. The M dimensions include at least: data center equipment dimension, energy dimension, energy saving dimension and energy consumption control dimension, where M is a positive integer.

[0069] For example, the above energy consumption data indicators are used to assess the completeness of sub-item energy consumption data for at least 12 consecutive months.
[0070] For example, the above-mentioned equipment status assessment indicators are used to evaluate the completeness of performance test reports and the accuracy of key parameters of major energy-consuming equipment (such as refrigeration, power supply and distribution, and IT).
[0071] The aforementioned energy dimensions include: energy efficiency indicators and a second indicator, which includes at least one of the following: PUE indicator, WUE control indicator, and green electricity consumption indicator.

[0085] For example, the above energy-saving indicators are used to evaluate the application of innovative technologies such as waste heat recovery, artificial intelligence (AI) energy saving, and energy storage.
[0086] In this way, the energy-saving strategy determination device constructs a multi-dimensional data center energy efficiency assessment model that includes "data center equipment dimension, energy dimension, energy saving dimension and energy consumption control dimension," collects and calculates assessments of existing data centers, and calculates the energy efficiency health score of existing data centers based on the data center energy efficiency assessment model. This effectively improves the success rate and economy of the transformation, and provides a reliable solution for the energy conservation, emission reduction and green low-carbon transformation of existing data centers.
[0087] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, step 202 above can be implemented through step 202a as follows.
[0088] Step 202a: The energy-saving strategy determination device inputs the first set of evaluation parameters into the data center energy efficiency evaluation model.

[0089] It should be noted that the first, second, third, and fourth indicators mentioned above are referred to as secondary indicators below.
[0090] In some embodiments, the energy-saving strategy determination device can calculate the weight of the secondary indicator based on the indicator type corresponding to the secondary indicator.
[0091] In some embodiments, the above indicator types may include condition-compliant indicator types and continuous numerical indicator types.
[0092] In some embodiments, the index type corresponding to the above-mentioned secondary index can be preset by the energy-saving strategy determination device; or it can be determined by the energy-saving strategy determination device based on the semantic information of the data corresponding to the secondary index. The specific type can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and this application embodiment does not impose any limitations.
[0093] For example, the indicator types corresponding to the above secondary indicators can be shown in Table 1 below.

[0101] For the condition-compliant indicators in A, C, and D, a tiered weighting method is used. Scores can be directly obtained by referring to a pre-set scoring table based on the actual computer room conditions and technology application. The specific scoring criteria need to be formulated based on the location, policies, and national standards of the data center.
[0102] It should be noted that the above-mentioned basic equipment indicators, energy efficiency indicators, energy saving indicators and green energy consumption management indicators are referred to as primary indicators below.

[0147] The above total energy consumption prediction and PUE calculation can be achieved through the following formulas (7) and (8).
[0148] (7)
[0149] (8)
[0150] in, This represents the projected total annual power consumption of the computer room after the implementation of the upgrade plan. This indicates the predicted annual average PUE index of the computer room after the implementation and renovation of the plan.
[0151] Step 203b3: The energy-saving strategy determination device inputs the energy consumption value, equipment performance parameters, computer room layout parameters, and computer room environmental parameters corresponding to each energy-saving renovation strategy into the computer room energy efficiency assessment model, performs energy efficiency assessment, and outputs a set of energy-saving scores.
[0152] In some embodiments, the energy-saving strategy determination device can concatenate the energy consumption value, equipment performance parameters, computer room layout parameters, and computer room environmental parameters corresponding to each energy-saving renovation strategy to obtain a predicted data set corresponding to each energy-saving renovation strategy. Then, the predicted data set corresponding to each energy-saving renovation strategy is input into the computer room energy efficiency assessment model to obtain an energy-saving score set, which is: ;

[0159] In some embodiments, the energy-saving strategy determination device can carry out construction and renovation of the existing computer room according to the above-mentioned energy-saving renovation strategy. After the computer room is running stably, it can collect the actual operating data of the computer room and calculate the actual energy efficiency health score, and conduct verification analysis of the renovation effect and parameter adjustment.

[0163] It should be noted that if the deviation obtained from the effect verification is large, the key parameters in the transformation plan need to be analyzed, the cause of the deviation needs to be analyzed, and an analysis report needs to be generated for the data center operation and maintenance personnel to check and maintain, until the deviation reaches within the allowable deviation threshold, and the data center transformation process is considered to be completed.
[0164] In some embodiments, after the energy-saving strategy determination device completes the renovation of the existing computer room, it can record the case completely in the case experience database. When renovating other existing computer rooms, it can retrieve and call similar cases in the case experience database, and use their "actual value / predicted value" ratio to calibrate the current prediction parameters, so as to continuously optimize the above-mentioned computer room energy efficiency assessment model.
[0165] In this embodiment, actual operational data collected again after the data center is running stably is input into the model for effect verification. The deviation between actual and predicted data is stored in a case experience database for continuous calibration of the model's prediction parameters. This forms a complete closed loop of "data collection → current status scoring → solution prediction (re-scoring) → decision-making → implementation → verification (re-scoring) → feedback optimization." This effectively improves the success rate and cost-effectiveness of the transformation, providing a reliable solution for energy conservation, emission reduction, and green low-carbon transformation of existing data centers.
