Abstract

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the electric thermal storage device 11 includes a sensing mechanism 111, a control mechanism 112, and a heat source 113. The sensing mechanism 111 is connected to the heat source 113 and the edge computing device 13, and is used to monitor the operating parameters of the heat source in real time and upload the operating parameters to the edge computing device. The control mechanism 112 is connected to the heat source 113 and the edge computing device 13, and is used to receive control commands sent by the edge computing device 13 and control the operation of the heat source 113 according to the control commands.
[0039] The communication device 12 is connected between the edge computing device 13 and the cloud server 14, and is used to establish a communication network connection between the edge computing device 13 and the cloud server 14.
[0040] The edge computing device 13 is connected to the electric thermal storage device 11 and the communication device 12. When the communication device is working normally, it sends the operating parameters received from the electric thermal storage device to the cloud server and sends the control commands received from the server to the electric thermal storage device. When the communication device fails, it calculates the corresponding target control command based on the target operating parameters received from the electric thermal storage device and sends the target control command to the electric thermal storage device.
[0041] The cloud server 14 is connected to the edge computing device 13 via the communication device 12. It is used to receive the operating parameters sent by the edge computing device, calculate the control instructions corresponding to the operating parameters, and return them to the edge computing device 13.
[0042] In this invention, an edge computing device is added between the electric thermal storage device and the cloud server. This edge computing device can independently calculate operational parameters and control the electric thermal storage device in real time, utilizing its built-in intelligent algorithms and locally stored historical data, even when the network is interrupted. This capability ensures that the electric thermal storage heating system can continue to operate normally without a network connection, guaranteeing the continuity and stability of heating services and significantly reducing increased operational costs and energy waste caused by network problems.
[0043] In one embodiment, optionally, the edge computing device 13 is connected to the sensing mechanism 111 and the control mechanism 112 of the electric thermal storage device 11 via a local area network.

[0051] During network outages, the local data storage module is responsible for preserving operational data, ensuring its integrity and traceability. Once the network is restored, the operational data saved during the outage is synchronized to the cloud-based AI computing platform, enabling seamless data integration and subsequent data analysis and optimization. This allows for data synchronization and analysis, preventing data loss.
