Traditional server room air conditioning control systems mostly adopt simple control strategies based on temperature thresholds, which cannot achieve precise temperature regulation and energy efficiency optimization, resulting in serious energy waste.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional data center air conditioning control systems mainly suffer from the following problems: First, they use a single type of sensor for environmental monitoring, lacking the comprehensive perception capability for multi-dimensional information such as temperature distribution, equipment operating status, and energy consumption parameters within the data center; second, the control system has a slow response speed and large data processing latency, failing to meet the stringent requirements of data center equipment for millisecond-level real-time response; third, they lack intelligent decision-making capabilities, unable to perform predictive control and cost optimization based on historical data and changes in the external environment; and finally, the system has low integration, with each functional module operating independently, resulting in complex maintenance and poor scalability.
[0004] Some existing intelligent air conditioning control solutions have improved control accuracy and response speed to some extent by introducing sensor networks and automated control technologies, but they still have certain limitations (list the shortcomings of the existing technologies based on the problems solved by this application), such as: limited data processing capabilities, unable to achieve real-time parallel processing of large-scale multi-source heterogeneous data; lack of hardware-level security mechanisms, resulting in insufficient data transmission and storage security; low control accuracy, unable to achieve accurate reconstruction of the airflow field and high-precision control of intelligent air valves; simple energy efficiency optimization algorithms, failing to fully utilize artificial intelligence technology for deep learning and cost optimization; and poor system reliability, lacking effective fault prediction and redundant control mechanisms.

[0048] The physical field drive and redundancy control module serves as the execution control unit in this embodiment. This module is an independent power drive and relay control board, manufactured using a six-layer printed circuit board process, two of which are high-current copper foil layers. The physical field drive and redundancy control module is equipped with an airflow field reconstruction drive array consisting of sixteen physically isolated stepper motor drive chips.

[0051] Next to the FPGA chip is a dedicated power regulator chip LDO.

The power regulator chip LDO provides a stable, low-ripple core voltage for the FPGA chip, ensuring stable operation of the FPGA chip under various operating conditions. The FPGA chip is connected to an external configuration flash memory SPI Flash via the SPI bus. This configuration flash memory has a capacity of 16Mbit and an operating frequency of up to 75MHz. The configuration flash memory SPI Flash is used to store and load the internal logic configuration file of the FPGA chip, and supports online updates and version management of the configuration file.
[0052] The FPGA chip surface is covered with an aluminum heatsink with heat dissipation fins. The heatsink is made of 6063 aluminum alloy and has a total heat dissipation area of 100 square centimeters. The heatsink is tightly attached to the FPGA chip surface with thermal grease and has a thermal conductivity of 3.0 W / m·K, which can effectively dissipate the heat generated by the FPGA chip into the environment. The edge of the FPGA digital twin parallel processing module board is equipped with a JTAG debugging interface and LED status indicators. The JTAG debugging interface uses a standard 14-pin connector and is compatible with Xilinx Platform Cable USB debuggers. The LED status indicators include four types: power indicator, running status indicator, communication status indicator, and fault indicator. The LED status indicators are used to display the status of each interface unit, logic processing area, and communication, which facilitates system debugging and fault diagnosis.
[0053] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0054] After the system is powered on, the industrial-grade switching power supply first provides a stable power supply to the PCIe communication main control backplane. The PCIe communication main control backplane supplies power to each modular board through a standardized power distribution rail. After the FPGA digital twin parallel processing module is powered on, the configuration flash SPI Flash automatically loads the preset logic configuration file into the FPGA chip. After the FPGA chip completes the configuration, it begins to work normally.
[0055] The multi-source industrial signal interface unit begins collecting data from various sensors. The RS485 terminal polls the connected smart meter at a 1-second interval to obtain real-time power consumption, voltage, current, and other parameters. The BNC coaxial interface continuously monitors the pulse signal from the water flow sensor, calculating the instantaneous and cumulative water flow through pulse counting. The multi-channel differential signal input terminal continuously collects signals from the mechanical vibration sensor and acoustic sensor at a sampling frequency of 10kHz. The wireless communication interface maintains communication with the temperature sensor array distributed in the computer room, collecting temperature data from various locations at a 5-second interval.
[0056] After receiving various sensor data, the first logic processing area inside the FPGA chip immediately adds a high-precision timestamp to each data packet and performs time synchronization and alignment on the data from different interfaces to ensure that the data processed subsequently has time consistency. The synchronized and aligned data is then distributed to the second and third logic processing areas for parallel processing.
[0057] After receiving the synchronized temperature data and sensor spatial coordinate information, the second logic processing area constructs a three-dimensional thermal map model of the computer room using the built-in finite element algorithm. The algorithm first establishes a three-dimensional mesh model based on the spatial distribution of the sensors, and then uses the measured temperature values as boundary conditions to calculate the temperature distribution of the entire computer room space through numerical solution methods. The generated three-dimensional thermal map data includes the temperature value and gradient information of each grid point, and the data format is a floating-point array.
[0058] After receiving the synchronized mechanical status data, the third logic processing area performs frequency domain analysis on the vibration signal using the built-in FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm. The algorithm extracts the power spectral density of the signal, identifies the characteristic frequencies of the equipment operation, and compares them with the pre-stored health status feature library. Based on the comparison results, the algorithm outputs the health status assessment of the equipment, including information such as bearing status, impeller balance status, and motor operating status.
[0059] The onboard cache and DMA transfer unit temporarily stores the 3D heat map data generated by the second logic processing area and the device health status data generated by the third logic processing area in the high-speed data cache Block RAM. When the data cache reaches the preset threshold or the timed trigger condition is met, the DMA controller module starts the data transmission process and transmits the processing result to the AI strategy and cost decision module at high speed through the PCIe communication main control backplane. The entire transmission process does not require CPU intervention and the transmission delay is less than 1 millisecond.
[0060] After receiving control commands from the AI strategy and cost decision module, the physics field drive and redundancy control module immediately executes the corresponding physical control actions. The airflow field reconstruction drive array adjusts the opening of each intelligent air valve according to the commands, thereby optimizing local cooling by changing the airflow distribution in the computer room. The hybrid cooling control relay matrix controls the operating parameters of the evaporative cooling system according to the commands, including water pump speed, fan speed, etc., while monitoring the operating status of the backup air conditioning system. It can quickly switch to the backup cooling system when the main cooling system fails.
[0061] The onboard safety monitoring microcontroller (MCU) continuously monitors the operating status of the entire system, including the communication status with the upper-level control module, the working status of each actuator, system temperature, and other parameters. When an abnormality is detected, the MCU immediately executes the fault safety control strategy to ensure the safe operation of the equipment in the computer room.
[0062] The system employs an FPGA parallel processing architecture to achieve real-time processing of multi-source sensor data, with a data processing latency of less than 10 milliseconds. Compared to the traditional CPU serial processing method, the processing speed is increased by more than 50 times, meeting the stringent real-time requirements of the data center air conditioning system. Secondly, three independent logical processing areas enable parallel processing of data acquisition, model building, and status assessment, increasing system throughput by 300% and enabling the simultaneous processing of data streams from hundreds of sensors. Thirdly, DMA direct memory access technology enables zero-copy transmission of processing results, eliminating the performance bottleneck caused by CPU involvement in data transmission and improving data transmission efficiency by 80%. In addition, hardware-level fault-tolerant mechanisms ensure reliable operation of the system under abnormal conditions, achieving a system availability of over 99%.
[0063] Application examples:
[0064] This project involved an energy-saving renovation of the air conditioning system in a large data center. The data center has a floor area of 1,000 square meters and houses 500 servers. The original air conditioning system used a traditional constant temperature and humidity control method, consuming 2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. By deploying the intelligent sensing and control system described in this embodiment, 100 wireless temperature sensors, 20 water flow sensors, and 16 vibration sensors were installed in the data center. The original 24 precision air conditioners were also upgraded with intelligent air valves and variable frequency control functions.
[0065] After the system is running, the FPGA digital twin parallel processing module collects data from various sensors in real time, builds a real-time three-dimensional thermal map model of the computer room, accurately grasps the temperature distribution in the computer room, and promptly detects bearing wear problems in 3 air conditioning units and refrigerant leakage problems in 2 units through equipment health status monitoring, thus avoiding computer room overheating accidents caused by equipment failure.
[0066] The physics-driven and redundant control module optimizes airflow distribution based on a thermal map model. By adjusting the opening of intelligent air valves, it precisely delivers cool air to high heat load areas, avoiding waste of cool air. At the same time, it dynamically adjusts the operating parameters of the refrigeration system according to the real-time load, achieving efficient operation of the refrigeration system while ensuring stable computer room temperature.
[0067] After a year of operation, the data center's air conditioning system achieved an energy saving rate of 30%, and the temperature fluctuation in the computer room was controlled within ±0.5℃, which is better than the ±2℃ fluctuation range of the original system. The equipment failure rate was reduced by 60%, and the system reliability was significantly improved.

The AI strategy and cost decision-making module adopts a separate design of carrier board and core board. The core board is connected to the carrier board through a 440-pin B2B connector. The connector adopts a gold-plating process with a gold layer thickness of 50 micrometers to ensure the reliability of high-speed signal transmission.

This edge computing processor integrates a 512-core Volta GPU and an 8-core CPU, with a GPU computing power of 32 TOPS (INT8 precision) and a CPU clock speed of 2.26GHz. The processor supports deep learning frameworks such as CUDA, cuDNN, and TensorRT, and can efficiently run complex AI algorithm models. The processor is equipped with 32GB of LPDDR4x memory, with a memory bandwidth of 137GB / s, providing ample memory support for large-scale data processing and model inference.
[0073] The AI strategy and cost decision-making module also features an M.2 slot, which is an M.2 2280 form factor slot that supports a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. A 1TB solid-state drive (SSD) is installed in this slot, boasting sequential read speeds of 7000MB / s, sequential write speeds of 5000MB / s, and random read and write IOPS of 1000K and 1000K respectively. The SSD utilizes 3D V-NAND TLC flash memory technology, offering high reliability and long lifespan, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1.5 million hours.
[0074] Solid-state drives (SSDs) are used for physical storage of historical digital twin data and an operational cost model database. The historical digital twin data includes data on data distribution in the data center over the past 24 months, equipment operating status data, energy consumption data, etc., with a total data volume of approximately 500GB. The operational cost model database includes time-of-use electricity price data and tiered water price data. The time-of-use electricity price data covers the electricity price change patterns in different regions and seasons, including the specific values and time periods for peak, off-peak, and valley electricity prices. The tiered water price data includes water price standards corresponding to different water consumption levels, as well as seasonal adjustment coefficients. The operational cost model database also includes equipment depreciation models, maintenance cost models, labor cost models, etc., providing data support for comprehensive cost optimization decisions.
[0075] The AI strategy and cost decision-making module directly reads the 3D heat map and device health status map generated by the FPGA digital twin parallel processing module from memory via DMA through the PCIe communication main control backplane. The DMA transfer channel adopts a multi-queue architecture, supporting the simultaneous processing of 16 independent data streams, each with a bandwidth of up to 500MB / s. Reading data via DMA avoids the performance loss caused by CPU involvement in data movement, and the data reading latency is controlled within 50 microseconds, which can meet the strict requirements of real-time decision-making algorithms for data timeliness.
[0076] The AI strategy and cost decision-making module operates a multi-layered intelligent decision-making algorithm framework, which consists of four main components: a data preprocessing layer, a feature extraction layer, a model inference layer, and a decision output layer. The data preprocessing layer is responsible for performing preprocessing operations such as format conversion, noise filtering, and data normalization on the received 3D heatmap and equipment health status map to ensure the quality and consistency of the input data. The feature extraction layer adopts a deep learning architecture that combines convolutional neural networks (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN) to extract spatial features from the heatmap and temporal features from the time series data, forming a high-dimensional feature vector.
[0077] The model inference layer runs a pre-trained reinforcement learning model, which adopts the Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm framework. The network structure includes 3 convolutional layers, 2 fully connected layers, and 1 output layer, with a total of approximately 2 million parameters. The reinforcement learning model uses the power efficiency ratio (PUE) of the data center as the reward function and temperature distribution uniformity, equipment health, and operating costs as constraints. It learns the optimal air conditioning control strategy through training on a large amount of historical data. The model inference process uses GPU parallel computing, and the time for a single inference is controlled within 10 milliseconds, enabling real-time policy output.
[0078] The decision output layer converts the model inference results into specific control commands, including the target opening degree of each smart air valve, the operating parameters of the evaporative cooling system, and the start-stop status of the standby air conditioning system. The decision output also includes cost optimization suggestions, such as increasing cooling capacity reserves during off-peak electricity price periods and reducing cooling intensity in non-critical areas during peak electricity price periods.
[0079] The AI strategy and cost decision-making module also integrates a cost-benefit analysis engine. This engine uses a multi-objective optimization algorithm to comprehensively consider multiple dimensions such as electricity costs, water costs, equipment depreciation costs, and maintenance costs to calculate the total operating costs under different control strategies. The cost-benefit analysis engine has a built-in genetic algorithm optimizer with a population size of 100 individuals and an iteration count of 1000 generations. It finds the optimal cost control strategy through global search, and the analysis results are output in report form, including real-time cost analysis, predicted cost trends, and energy-saving potential assessment.
[0080] The Federal Security Communication Module serves as the security communication guarantee unit in this embodiment. This module is an independent communication interface board manufactured using a four-layer printed circuit board process. The Federal Security Communication Module integrates a Mini-PCIe slot for plugging in a 5G or LTE wireless communication module. This Mini-PCIe slot uses a standard 52-pin interface and supports both PCIe and USB dual interface modes. The 5G wireless communication module supports the 5G NR Sub-6GHz frequency band, with a downlink peak rate of 2.5Gbps and an uplink peak rate of 900Mbps, and supports 5G NSA and SA dual-mode networking. The LTE wireless communication module supports the LTE Cat 4 standard, with a downlink peak rate of 150Mbps and an uplink peak rate of 50Mbps, and supports major global frequency bands.
[0081] The Federal Security Communication Module also has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security encryption chip physically soldered onto it. This TPM security encryption chip conforms to the TPM 2.0 standard specification. The TPM security encryption chip integrates security components such as a hardware random number generator, an RSA-2048 encryption engine, a SHA-256 hash algorithm engine, and an AES-256 symmetric encryption engine. The TPM chip is used to perform hardware-level encryption on externally transmitted data, including security functions such as device authentication, digital signature, and key management.
[0082] The TPM security encryption chip uses the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for device authentication, employing the P-256 elliptic curve parameter and a 256-bit private key length to ensure secure authentication. For data transmission encryption, the TPM chip uses the AES-256-GCM algorithm, which provides both data encryption and integrity verification. The key update cycle is set to 24 hours to ensure the security of long-term communication. The TPM chip also features anti-tampering capabilities; it automatically clears the internal key when a physical attack is detected to prevent the leakage of sensitive information.
[0083] The Federal Security Communications Module is responsible for providing a network channel for the AI Strategy and Cost Decision Module to obtain external weather data. It connects to the National Meteorological Administration's weather data server via 5G or LTE networks to obtain local meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and atmospheric pressure in real time. The weather data is obtained once per hour, and the data format is JSON. The data transmission uses the HTTPS protocol to ensure the security and integrity of the data transmission.
[0084] The federated secure communication module also supports federated learning, which can establish a secure model parameter sharing channel with other similar devices. Without leaking local data, it can improve the performance of the overall AI model by aggregating model parameters. Federated learning uses differential privacy technology to add carefully designed noise to the model parameters to ensure that the data privacy of individual devices cannot be inferred. The federated learning framework supports asynchronous update mode, and participating devices can flexibly choose when to participate based on their own computing power and network conditions.
[0085] The Federal Security Communication Module also integrates a network security monitoring engine. This engine uses Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology to monitor abnormal network traffic behavior in real time, including security threats such as DDoS attacks, port scanning, and malicious code propagation. The security monitoring engine has a built-in Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that uses a combination of signature detection and anomaly detection, achieving an accuracy rate of over 99.5% and a false positive rate of less than 0.1%. When a security threat is detected, the system automatically initiates protective measures, including blocking suspicious connections, isolating affected modules, and sending security alerts.
[0086] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0087] After the system is powered on, the AI strategy and cost decision module first loads the pre-trained deep learning model and operating cost model database from the solid-state drive. The model loading process takes about 30 seconds. At the same time, the federal security communication module starts the network connection and establishes a secure communication link with the external server through the 5G or LTE network to complete the device identity authentication and key exchange process.
[0088] The AI strategy and cost decision module continuously reads the 3D heat map and equipment health status map data generated by the FPGA digital twin parallel processing module via DMA through the PCIe communication main control backplane. The data reading frequency is 10 times per second to ensure that the decision algorithm is based on the latest data center status information. At the same time, the federal security communication module obtains external weather data from the meteorological server once an hour, including the weather forecast information for the next 24 hours, to provide data support for predictive control strategies.
[0089] After receiving real-time data, the data preprocessing layer of the AI strategy and cost decision module immediately performs spatial filtering on the 3D heat map to eliminate the influence of sensor noise and measurement errors, performs time-series smoothing on the equipment health status map, and extracts the changing trend of equipment operating status. The preprocessed data is then sent to the feature extraction layer, where key features are extracted through a deep learning network.
[0090] The convolutional neural network of the feature extraction layer performs multi-scale feature extraction on the heat map, identifying spatial features such as hot spots, cold spots, and temperature gradient distribution in the computer room. The recurrent neural network analyzes the time series data, identifying time features such as periodic changes and abnormal fluctuations in equipment load. The extracted feature vector has a dimension of 512, containing key information about the thermal environment and equipment status of the computer room.
[0091] After receiving the feature vector, the reinforcement learning model in the model inference layer combines the current operating cost model database information, including cost parameters such as real-time electricity price and water price, and calculates the value function of each possible control action through a deep Q network. The model also considers the impact of external weather data, such as increasing the cooling capacity in advance when the outside temperature rises and optimizing the operation strategy of the evaporative cooling system during the rainy season. The model inference results are output in the form of a probability distribution, representing the degree of superiority or inferiority of different control strategies.
[0092] Based on the model inference results and combined with the current system state and constraints, the decision output layer generates the optimal control strategy. The control strategy includes two levels: short-term control instructions and long-term optimization suggestions. The short-term control instructions are for adjusting the equipment operating parameters for the next hour, including the target opening adjustment of each smart damper, the adjustment of the water pump speed of the evaporative cooling system, and the adjustment of the fan speed. The long-term optimization suggestions are for the operating strategy for the next 24 hours, such as using the low electricity price period at night for pre-cooling and reducing the cooling intensity of non-critical areas during the high electricity price period during the day.
[0093] The cost-benefit analysis engine runs multi-objective optimization algorithms in parallel to calculate the cost-benefit of different control strategies in real time. The analysis dimensions include immediate costs (electricity and water costs for the current hour), cumulative costs (cumulative operating costs for the day), and predicted costs (expected costs for the next 24 hours). The analysis results are displayed in the form of charts, including cost trend curves, energy-saving effect comparisons, and investment payback period calculations, providing operation and maintenance personnel with intuitive decision-making references.
[0094] The Federation Security Communication Module continuously monitors network security status throughout the entire operation and performs hardware-level encryption on all external communication data. The TPM security encryption chip generates a unique session key for each data transmission, ensuring that even if a single communication is intercepted, it will not affect the overall security. At the same time, the module regularly participates in the federated learning process, exchanges model parameters with other similar devices, and continuously optimizes the performance of the local AI model.
[0095] After receiving the control commands from the AI strategy and cost decision module, the physics field drive and redundancy control module immediately executes the corresponding physical control actions. The control execution process adopts a hierarchical control strategy. High-priority commands (such as safety-related controls) are executed immediately, while low-priority commands (such as energy efficiency optimization controls) can be executed with a delay. The control execution results are fed back to the AI strategy and cost decision module through the PCIe communication main control backplane, forming a closed-loop control system.
[0096] The AI decision-making algorithm based on deep learning achieves multi-objective optimization control, taking into account multiple dimensions such as energy efficiency, cost, and reliability. The decision quality is improved by more than 40% compared with traditional rule control. Secondly, the establishment of an operating cost model database enables refined cost control. Through time-of-use electricity pricing optimization and tiered water pricing optimization, operating costs are reduced by more than 25%. Thirdly, the application of federated learning technology enables multi-device collaborative optimization. Through model parameter sharing, the accuracy of the overall AI model is improved by 15%, and the convergence speed is improved by 30%. In addition, hardware-level security encryption mechanism ensures the security of data transmission and model sharing, meeting the high security requirements of the industrial IoT environment.
[0097] Application examples:
[0098] The data center intelligent management system project of a financial institution's headquarters building covers an area of 2,000 square meters and is divided into two computer room areas, A and B. It has deployed 1,000 high-performance servers and storage devices, with an annual power consumption of 4 million kWh and an annual water consumption of 20,000 tons. The original air conditioning control system used a traditional PID control algorithm, which could not adapt to the rapid changes in business load and often caused local overheating or overcooling. The power efficiency ratio (PUE) has been maintained above 1.8 all year round.
[0099] By deploying the AI strategy decision-making intelligent optimization communication system of this embodiment, a complete intelligent management network was established in the data center. The system first deployed an AI strategy and cost decision-making module in each of the two computer room areas, A and B. Each module was equipped with a 1TB solid-state drive to store historical data and cost models. The operating cost model database contained three years of local time-of-use electricity price data, including different electricity price standards for weekdays and holidays, as well as the billing rules for tiered water pricing.
[0100] The federal security communication module connects to the local meteorological bureau's weather data server via a 5G network to obtain real-time meteorological information such as outdoor temperature, humidity, and wind speed. At the same time, the system establishes a secure connection with the State Grid's real-time electricity price system, enabling it to obtain electricity price change information for the next 24 hours, providing data support for predictive control. The two AI strategies and cost decision modules establish a model parameter sharing mechanism through a federated learning protocol, realizing collaborative optimization control between the A and B computer room areas.
[0101] After the system was put into operation, the AI strategy and cost decision module analyzed the heat load distribution pattern of the data center through deep learning algorithms, discovered the different load characteristics of the business system on weekdays and holidays, and learned to appropriately increase the cooling capacity during the off-peak electricity price period (22:00-6:00 the next day) and store "cooling capacity" by utilizing the thermal inertia of the data center. During the peak electricity price period (9:00-11:00 in the morning and 14:00-17:00 in the afternoon), the cooling intensity was reduced, realizing intelligent scheduling of "peak shaving and valley filling".
[0102] The cost-benefit analysis engine dynamically adjusts the operation strategy of the refrigeration system based on real-time electricity and water price information. During the summer peak electricity consumption period, the system automatically optimizes the ratio of evaporative refrigeration and mechanical refrigeration, making full use of the high efficiency of evaporative refrigeration and reducing the power consumption of mechanical refrigeration. During the winter off-peak electricity consumption period, the system appropriately increases the proportion of mechanical refrigeration, creating conditions for the maintenance of the evaporative refrigeration system.
[0103] Federated learning enables AI models in two data center areas to learn from each other's optimization experiences. Data center A experiences greater load fluctuations, so the system learns a fast response strategy; data center B experiences relatively stable loads, so the system learns a refined control strategy. Through model parameter sharing, both areas gain each other's optimization experience, resulting in a significant improvement in overall control performance.
[0104] In terms of secure communication, the TPM security encryption chip ensures the security of all external communication data, including weather data acquisition, electricity price information inquiry, and federated learning parameter exchange. In the two years since the system started operating, no data breaches or cybersecurity incidents have occurred, meeting the stringent data security requirements of the financial industry.
[0105] After two years of operation and verification, the data center's power efficiency ratio (PUE) has been reduced to 1.35, a 25% improvement compared to the original system. The power saving rate has reached 20%, the water saving rate has reached 20%, the temperature control accuracy of the computer room has been improved to ±0.3℃, the equipment operation stability has been significantly improved, and the failure rate has been reduced by 45%.
[0106] The system also brought about a significant improvement in operation and maintenance efficiency. Through the predictive maintenance function of AI algorithms, 12 potential equipment failures were detected in advance, avoiding unplanned downtime events. The cost-benefit analysis function provided the operation and maintenance team with a scientific basis for decision-making, optimized maintenance plans and spare parts procurement strategies, and reduced operation and maintenance costs by 30%.
