Detailed Implementation

[0038] First, let me introduce the application scenario of this application: Data centers are a crucial infrastructure for modern information technology. They typically utilize server racks or cabinets within computer rooms, housing computing, storage, and network devices to centrally process, store, transmit, exchange, and manage data. With the acceleration of digital transformation and changing technological demands, more and more enterprises and organizations are transitioning from traditional centralized data center models to more flexible and efficient edge computing architectures. This shift is not only to address the ever-increasing volume of data and real-time processing needs but also to optimize resource utilization, reduce costs, and enhance user experience.

[0039] Edge computing is a distributed computing model that shifts data processing tasks from centralized cloud servers to network edge devices or local nodes closer to the data source. In this way, edge computing can process and analyze data in real time near where it is generated, reducing the bandwidth and latency required for data transmission to remote data centers and improving response speed and efficiency.

[0040] Based on the above application scenarios, this application provides a computing device to ensure that business operations can proceed in an orderly and continuous manner while meeting the ever-increasing demand for computing power and effectively reducing electricity costs. For example, the computing device can be a rack server, a full-rack server, an AI (Artificial Intelligence) server, a high-performance computing (HPC) server, an edge server, or other devices with computing capabilities.

In addition, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more.

[0042] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a computing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the computing device in this embodiment includes a cabinet 100, a green electricity module 200 disposed in the cabinet 100, and a distribution module 300, an energy storage module 400, and a load 500 located inside the cabinet 100. The distribution module 300 includes a green electricity adjustment module 310, a mains power adjustment module 320, and a power distribution module 330, used to output the power adjusted by the green electricity adjustment module 310 and the mains power adjustment module 320 from the power distribution module 330. The green electricity adjustment module 310 is electrically connected to the green electricity module 200, and the mains power adjustment module 320 is used to connect to the power grid. The power distribution module 330 is electrically connected to the energy storage module 400, used to charge the energy storage module 400, and also used to preferentially utilize the power adjusted by the green electricity adjustment module 310 to charge the energy storage module 400. The power distribution module 330 is electrically connected to the load 500, used to supply power to the load 500 with the power adjusted by the mains power adjustment module 320. The energy storage module 400 is electrically connected to the load 500 to provide power to the load 500.

[0044] The main function of the AC power regulation module 320 is to convert the input alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) into a stable DC power supply required by the internal components of the cabinet 100, ensuring their proper operation. The AC power regulation module 320 is electrically connected to the power grid to regulate the power from the grid to the stable DC power required by the computing device. The AC power regulation module 320 is also electrically connected to the energy storage module 400 via the power distribution module 330, allowing the energy storage module 400 to be charged using AC power.

[0045] The green electricity module 200 is used to provide green electricity. Green electricity refers to electricity generated with zero or near-zero carbon dioxide emissions, resulting in a lower environmental impact compared to electricity produced through other methods (such as thermal power generation). The main sources of green electricity are solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy; this embodiment primarily utilizes solar and wind power.

[0046] The main function of the green electricity adjustment module 310 is to convert the input green electricity into stable direct current (DC) required by the internal components of the cabinet 100 to ensure that these components can operate normally. The green electricity adjustment module 310 is electrically connected to the energy storage module 400 through the power distribution module 330, and can use green electricity to charge the energy storage module 400.

[0047] The power distribution module 330 prioritizes the use of green electricity. The input power of the power distribution module 330 in the cabinet 100 is green electricity + mains power. The power supply of the mains power adjustment module 320 to the power distribution module 330 is the difference between the total electrical load in the cabinet 100 and the green electricity supply.

[0048] In this embodiment, a green electricity module 200 and a distribution module 300 are configured. The distribution module 300 includes a green electricity adjustment module 310 and a power distribution module 330. The power distribution module 330 uses the green electricity generated by the green electricity module 200 through the green electricity adjustment module 310 to charge the energy storage module 400 inside the cabinet 100. The power distribution module 330 also prioritizes using the adjusted power from the green electricity adjustment module 310 to charge the energy storage module 400, thus fully utilizing green electricity and reducing the cost of mains power. Furthermore, when the power grid fails, the power generated by the green electricity module 200 can still charge the energy storage module 400, ensuring that the computing device can continue to operate in an orderly and continuous manner.

[0049] In one implementation, during peak electricity consumption periods, the mains power regulation module 320 and the energy storage module 400 simultaneously supply power to the load 500; the green energy module 200 charges the energy storage module 400. During low electricity consumption periods, the mains power regulation module 320 supplies power to the load 500; the green energy module 200 charges the energy storage module 400. During off-peak electricity consumption periods, the mains power regulation module 320 supplies power to the load 500; the mains power regulation module 320 and the green energy module 200 simultaneously charge the energy storage module 400.

[0050] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another computing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the load 500 includes a server 510; the cabinet 100 includes multiple slots for installing the energy storage module 400 and the load 500; the ratio of the number of slots occupied by the energy storage module 400 to the number of slots occupied by the server 510 ranges from 1 to 4.5.

[0051] In one implementation, the energy storage module 400 includes multiple modular energy storage batteries. Exemplary examples include lithium batteries, sodium batteries, solid-state batteries, etc. The load 500 includes multiple servers 510, and the energy storage module 400 is electrically connected to each server 510 to supply power to the server 510. The power distribution module 330 is also electrically connected to each server 510 to supply power to the server 510.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cabinet 100 has multiple slots arranged along the height of the cabinet 100. One energy storage battery is installed in one slot, or multiple energy storage batteries are installed in one slot. One server 510 is installed in one slot. In this embodiment, the ratio of the number of slots occupied by the energy storage module 400 to the number of slots occupied by the server 510 is 1, 1.06, 1.125, 1.2, 1.29, 1.38, 1.5, 1.64, 1.8, 2, 2.25, 2.57, 3, 3.6, or 4.5, so that the total power capacity of the energy storage module 400 can support the stable operation of all servers 510 within the server 510 domain for ≥2 hours.

[0053] The number m of energy storage batteries satisfies:

[0054]

[0055] Where: P 总 To calculate the total maximum power of the internal load of the device (500); R 单 is the power capacity of a single energy storage battery; h is the number of hours the computing device needs to operate stably.

[0056] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another computing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the load 500 also includes a switch 520. The energy storage module 400 is electrically connected to the switch 520 and is used to supply power to the switch 520. The power distribution module 330 is electrically connected to the switch 520 and is used to supply power to the switch 520.

[0057] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another computing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4As shown, the green power module 200 includes a wind power module 210, and the green power adjustment module 310 includes a wind power adjustment unit 311; the wind power adjustment unit 311 is electrically connected to the wind power module 210 and is used to convert the AC power generated by the wind power module 210 into DC power.

[0058] Understandably, the wind power module 210 captures wind energy and converts it into electrical energy. Due to natural conditions, the electrical energy generated by the wind power module 210 is typically alternating current (AC). The wind power adjustment unit 311 converts the AC power generated by the wind power module 210 into direct current (DC) power usable by the devices in the cabinet 100, which is then distributed by the power distribution module 330 to charge the energy storage module 400. For example, the wind power adjustment unit 311 is a voltage regulating and rectifier circuit used to adjust the power generated by the wind power module 210 for use by the electrical devices inside the cabinet 100, including but not limited to the energy storage module 400 and the load 500.

[0059] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cabinet 100 includes a side panel 110, and the wind power module 210 is embedded in the side panel 110. It does not require additional space, which reduces the footprint and cost of integrated wind power. In addition, the wind power module 210 can be moved with the cabinet, thereby dealing with the risk of damage to the wind power module 210 caused by extreme weather.

[0060] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a side panel 110 in a computing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the wind power module 210 includes a wind turbine 211 and a wind generator 212; the wind turbine 211 is connected to the wind generator 212 by transmission, and the wind generator 212 is electrically connected to the wind power adjustment unit 311.

[0061] The wind turbine 211 includes blades 211a, a hub 211b, and a main shaft 211c. In one implementation, there are three blades 211a, which are fixed to the hub 211b and evenly distributed along its circumference. The blades 211a capture wind energy and convert it into rotational mechanical energy of the hub 211b. The hub 211b connects to the blades 211a and transmits the rotational mechanical energy to the main shaft 211c. The main shaft 211c is connected to a wind turbine generator 212, transmitting the rotational motion of the hub 211b to the wind turbine generator 212. The wind turbine generator 212 converts the mechanical energy of the wind turbine 211 into electrical energy. The output of the wind turbine generator 212 is electrically connected to a wind power regulation unit 311 to provide power.

[0062] like Figure 5As shown, the side panel 110 includes a first panel 111 and a second panel 112, with an intermediate layer 113 formed between the first panel 111 and the second panel 112 for placing equipment components. The first panel 111 is located on the side of the side panel 110 facing the outside of the cabinet 100, and the second panel 112 is located on the side of the side panel 110 facing the inside of the cabinet 100. The intermediate layer 113 includes a sealed chamber 113a to prevent dust and water damage to other equipment. A wind turbine generator 212 is disposed in the sealed chamber 113a; the wind turbine 211 is embedded in the first panel 111 to facilitate wind energy capture. The main shaft 211c of the wind turbine 211 is rotatably sealed to the side wall of the sealed chamber 113a and is connected to the wind turbine generator 212 in a transmission connection.

[0063] In one implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the side panel 110 includes a first panel 111, a second panel 112, and a partition plate 114. A hollow intermediate layer 113 is formed between the first panel 111 and the second panel 112. The partition plate 114 is connected to both the first panel 111 and the second panel 112, and divides the intermediate layer 113 into a wind-catching chamber 113b and a sealed chamber 113a. The first panel 111 has a window communicating with the wind-catching chamber 113b, and a wind turbine 211 is mounted in this window. The main shaft 211c of the wind turbine 211 passes through the partition plate 114 and extends into the sealed chamber 113a, where it is driven by a wind turbine generator 212. Exemplarily, the main shaft 211c and the partition plate 114 are rotatably sealed by a seal 114a.

[0064] Understandable, Figure 5 The image only shows an implementation where the partition 114 is located between the first panel 111 and the second panel 112. In another implementation, the partition 114 extends through the first panel 111 and is connected to the second panel 112, and the partition 114 does not protrude from the outer surface of the first panel 111.

[0065] In some implementations, the wind turbine 211 is located on the side of the first panel 111 near the top of the cabinet 100;

[0066] And / or, the wind turbine 212 is located on the side of the intermediate mezzanine 113 near the bottom of the cabinet 100.

[0067] To facilitate wind energy capture by the wind turbine 211, in this embodiment, the wind turbine 211 is positioned at the upper part of the first panel 111, i.e., near the top of the cabinet 100. To fully utilize the internal space of the side panel 110, the wind turbine generator 212, which is connected to the wind turbine 211, is located in the intermediate layer 113 near the bottom of the cabinet 100. Positioning the wind turbine 211 and wind turbine generator 212 along the height of the cabinet 100 fully utilizes vertical space, reducing the footprint and cost of integrated wind power. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wind power module 210 is movable, moving with the cabinet 100, which helps mitigate the risk of damage caused by extreme weather.

[0068] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another computing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the green energy module 200 includes a wind power module 210 and a photovoltaic module 220. The wind power module 210 is embedded in the side panel 110 of the cabinet 100 for easy capture of wind energy. The photovoltaic module 220 is located on the top of the cabinet 100 for easy capture of solar energy. The green energy adjustment module 310 includes a wind power adjustment unit 311 and a photovoltaic adjustment unit 312. The wind power adjustment unit 311 is electrically connected to the wind power module 210 and is used to convert the AC power generated by the wind power module 210 into DC power. The photovoltaic adjustment unit 312 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic module 220 and is used to stabilize the power provided by the photovoltaic module 220.

[0069] Understandably, the photoelectric module 220 captures light energy and converts it into electrical energy. Due to day-night cycles or weather conditions, the electrical energy generated by the photoelectric module 220 needs to be adjusted by the photoelectric adjustment unit 312 and converted into DC power usable by the devices in the cabinet 100. Finally, it is distributed by the power distribution module 330 to charge the energy storage module 400. For example, the photoelectric adjustment unit 312 is a voltage regulating rectifier circuit used to adjust the power generated by the photoelectric module 220 for use by the electrical devices inside the cabinet 100, including but not limited to the energy storage module 400 and the load 500.

[0070] Figure 7 A three-dimensional perspective view of a computing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 As shown, the photoelectric module 220 includes a photovoltaic panel, which is tilted and connected to the top of the cabinet 100 so as to convert light energy into electrical energy when receiving sunlight.

[0071] In one implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the photovoltaic module 220 is a photovoltaic power generation panel formed by a matrix of energy-efficient batteries, which is inclinedly connected to the top of the cabinet 100. The wind power module 210 is an AIR series wind turbine generator 212 set embedded in the side panel 110 of the cabinet.

[0072] In one implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the computing device provided in this embodiment is an 8KW edge computing device, including a cabinet 100, a wind power module embedded in the side panel 110 of the cabinet 100, a photovoltaic module located on the top of the cabinet 100, and a distribution module 300, an energy storage module 400, a switch 520, and a server 510 located inside the cabinet 100. The cabinet 100 also includes a liquid cooling door 120 for liquid cooling heat dissipation. Wherein:

[0073] The wind power module and the photovoltaic module provide 8KW of power for 4 hours a day.

[0074] The cabinet is 100mm high and 47mm wide, 1200mm deep, and 5cm thick.

[0075] The distribution module 300 has an 8KW power supply capacity, including a wind power adjustment unit 311, a photovoltaic adjustment unit 312, and a mains power adjustment module 320; the overall height Ht is 3U.

[0076] The energy storage module 400 includes multiple modular energy storage batteries and supports storing 8 kW of power for 8 hours. The height Hc of the energy storage module 400 is 18U.

[0077] The 520 switch is a standard data center rack-mount switch with an overall height Hj of 2-6U.

[0078] Server 510 consists of two 2U Server 510 units, with an overall height Kf of 4U.

[0079] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of another computing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 8 As shown, the distribution module 300 includes a wind power adjustment unit 311, a photovoltaic adjustment unit 312, a mains power adjustment module 320, a power distribution module 330, and a controller 340. The distribution module 300 has a wind power input terminal, a photovoltaic input terminal, a mains power input terminal, and a power distribution output terminal. The wind power input terminal is electrically connected to the wind power adjustment unit 311 and is used to connect to the wind power module 210 to provide wind power input to the wind power adjustment unit 311. The photovoltaic input terminal is electrically connected to the photovoltaic adjustment unit 312 and is used to connect to the photovoltaic module 220 to provide photovoltaic input to the photovoltaic adjustment unit 312. The mains power input terminal is electrically connected to the mains power adjustment module 320 and is used to connect to the power grid to provide mains power input to the mains power adjustment module 320. The power distribution output terminal is connected to the power distribution module 330 and is used to connect to the energy storage module 400 and the load 500 to achieve power output.

[0080] The power distribution module 330 has three input terminals and one output terminal. The three input terminals are electrically connected to the wind power adjustment unit 311, the photovoltaic adjustment unit 312 and the mains power adjustment module 320 respectively, so as to realize three inputs and one output.

[0081] The controller 340 is connected to the power distribution module 330 by signal and is used to control the connection circuit between the three input terminals and the output terminals of the power distribution module 330, thereby controlling the power distribution module 330 to switch between green electricity charging mode and combined charging mode, and the green electricity charging mode has a higher priority than the combined charging mode.

[0082] When the power distribution module 330 is in green electricity charging mode, the power distribution module 330 connects the energy storage module 400 and the green electricity adjustment module 310. The charging power for the energy storage module 400 comes only from the green electricity module 200.

[0083] When the power distribution module 330 is in combined charging mode, it connects the energy storage module 400 and the green electricity adjustment module 310, and also connects the energy storage module 400 and the mains power adjustment module 320. The charging power for the energy storage module 400 comes from the green electricity module 200 and the power grid.

[0084] It should be noted that regardless of whether the power distribution module 330 is in green charging mode or combined charging mode, the mains power adjustment module 320 is electrically connected to the load 500 through the power distribution module 330 to supply power to the load 500. The energy storage module 400 is also electrically connected to the load 500 to supply power to the load 500.

[0085] In another implementation, the power distribution module 330 has three input terminals and two output terminals. The three input terminals are electrically connected to the wind power adjustment unit 311, the photovoltaic adjustment unit 312 and the mains power adjustment module 320, respectively. The two output terminals are connected to the energy storage module 400 and the load 500, respectively, to realize three inputs and two outputs.

[0086] The controller 340 is signal-connected to the power distribution module 330 and is used to control the connection circuit between the three input terminals of the power distribution module 330 and the output terminal of the energy storage module 400, thereby controlling the power distribution module 330 to switch between green electricity charging mode and combined charging mode, with the green electricity charging mode having a higher priority than the combined charging mode. The input terminal of the mains power adjustment module 320 and the output terminal of the load 500 are always connected.

[0087] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of another computing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, the energy storage module 400 is electrically connected to the mains power adjustment module 320 and is used to charge the power grid.

[0088] In one implementation, the energy storage module 400 has two discharge circuits: one circuit connects the energy storage module 400 to the load 500 to supply power to the load 500; the other circuit connects the energy storage module 400 to the mains power adjustment module 320 to charge the grid. The computing device provided in this application embodiment supports reverse grid power supply in coordination with the grid, becoming part of the energy internet or a national distributed energy storage system.

[0089] The following comparison is made between an 8KW computing device (this application) and an 8KW conventional computing device: specific comparison parameters include operating electricity costs and business interruption risk costs.

[0090] Assume that the photovoltaic and wind power modules can provide 8kW of power for 4 hours per day. The energy storage module 400 supports storing 8kW of power for 8 hours. Assume that peak electricity consumption periods are 10:00-12:00 and 14:00-16:00 (4 hours in total), off-peak periods are 0:00-8:00, and the remaining time is considered flat. The peak-to-off-peak electricity price is 1.7:1:0.38, meaning the peak price is 1.7 yuan / kWh, the flat-peak price is 1 yuan / kWh, and the off-peak price is 0.38 yuan / kWh.

[0094] As shown in Table 1, the annual operating cost of the computing device provided in this application embodiment is RMB 38,076.80 less than that of traditional computing devices, which is 40% of the operating cost of traditional computing devices.

[0095] Figure 10 This is an architectural diagram of a computing device provided as an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 As shown, wind power module 210 provides wind power input to wind power adjustment unit 311, photovoltaic module 220 provides photovoltaic input to photovoltaic adjustment unit 312, and the power grid provides mains power input to mains power adjustment module 320. Distribution module 330 aggregates the power adjusted by wind power adjustment unit 311, photovoltaic adjustment unit 312, and mains power adjustment module 320 and outputs it. One output of power from distribution module 330 provides charging input to energy storage module 400, another provides power input to server 510, and the third provides power input to switch 520. The energy storage module 400 outputs power in three ways: one for server 510, one for switch 520, and the other as a discharge output, which, after adjustment by mains power adjustment module 320, becomes mains power for reverse charging of the power grid.
