Software technologies of AI mainly include technologies of computer vision, robotics, biometrics, voice processing, natural language processing, machine leaming / deep learning and the like.

[0048] Please refer to FIG. 1 for details, where FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a basic process of an energy consumption analysis method based on a digital twin system according to an example of the present invention.

[0049] As illustrated in FIG. 1, an energy consumption analysis method based on a digital twin system includes the following steps:

[0050] S101, identifying target energy and a life-cycle path of the target energy in the digital twin system, where the life-cycle path includes N physical devices.

[0051] According to an example of the present invention, before the above S101, all physical devices that require the energy consumption analysis are loaded and configured into the digital twin system, and displayed in a form of life-cycle path respectively, so as to visually represent actual scenes of energy consumption through the digital twin system, such as factories, office buildings, construction sites, etc.

[0052] For example, when the target energy is solar energy, the life-cycle path includes all physical devices that use the solar energy; when the target energy is electric energy, the lifecycle path includes all physical devices that use the electric energy; when the target energy is water, the life-cycle path includes all physical devices that use the water; and the above lifecycle paths together constitute the digital twin system according to an example of the present invention.

[0053] In an example, the loading and configuring all physical devices into the digital twin system includes: identifying the corresponding N physical devices on the full life-cycle path of energy consumption, collecting operation data of the N physical devices in real time, and storing the data in a database; and using digital twin technology to establish a virtual space, binding the corresponding physical devices on the above full life-cycle path to action areas, and mapping objects in a real environment to a virtual space. Moreover, in the digital twin system, a multi-dimensional data model of the N physical devices is further established, static descriptions of object identity details, such as device identifiers, device descriptions, function definitions and the like, are used to describe details and states of the physical devices in operation, and instructions or methods that can be called externally are provided.

[0054] It should be noted that the physical devices include terminal devices and intermediate devices, and according to an example of the present invention, the energy consumption analysis in the following steps S102-S105 is illustrated based on any terminal device.

[0055] S102, extracting an nth sub-path from the life-cycle path, where the nth sub-path includes the nth terminal device and all intermediate devices through which the target energy reaches the nth terminal device.

[0056] According to an example of the present invention, the physical devices through which the target energy reaches the nth terminal device are usually not terminal devices, and the nth terminal device is a terminal device, such as an air conditioner, a display, a lamp and the like. The intermediate devices through which the target energy reaches the nth terminal device are usually energy access devices, processing and conversion devices, conveying and distribution devices, and the like.

[0057] In the above S102, the intermediate devices through which the target energy reaches the nth terminal device include any number of the energy access devices, the processing and conversion devices, and the conveying and distribution devices, but include at least one of the energy access devices.

[0058] SI 03, acquiring nth operation data of the nth sub-path.

[0059] In the above S103, the nth operation data of the nth sub-path includes the operation data of the nth terminal device, and the operation data of the intermediate devices through which the target energy reaches the nth terminal device; and it can be understood that based on the pre-configured and loaded digital twin system, the operation data of any physical device can be directly acquired according to an example of the present invention.

[0060] SI04, constructing an energy efficiency indicator calculation formula for the nth terminal device according to the nth sub-path, and calculating an energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device according to the nth operation data and the energy efficiency indicator calculation formula for the nth terminal device.

[0061] It should be noted that the nth sub-path usually includes an energy access device and a terminal device, or an energy access device, a processing and conversion device and a terminal device. Therefore, according to an example of the present invention, the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device actually represents a regional energy efficiency indicator.

[0062] According to the SI04, calculation composition of the energy efficiency indicator according to an example of the present invention is associated with the operation data and the intermediate devices included in the nth sub-path, where the operation data directly affects a value of the energy efficiency indicator; the intermediate devices included in the nth sub-path affect the composition of the energy efficiency indicator, i.e., when the nth sub-path includes an energy access device, a processing and conversion device and a conveying and distribution device, the energy efficiency indicator is not only specific to the nth terminal device, but also is affected by the above energy access device, the processing and conversion device and the conveying and distribution device, and when any of the physical devices such as the processing and conversion device fails, the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device is directly shown to be abnormal.

[0063] S105, marking the nth terminal device and the nth sub-path to be abnormal in the digital twin system when the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device indicates abnormal energy consumption within a preset period, where N is a positive integer, and n is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

[0064] It should be noted that the energy efficiency indicator of the terminal device calculated within the preset period is calculated according to the operation data acquired within the preset period. For example, the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device is calculated according to the operation data of the nth sub-path within the preset period.

[0065] A total score of the energy efficiency indicator is usually set as 100, and scores of the energy efficiency indicator are divided into 4 levels: excellent: 90 and above (excellent), 80 and above (good), 60 and above (general), and less than 60 (poor).

[0066] In an example, steps after the marking the nth terminal device and the nth sub-path to be abnormal in the digital twin system when the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device indicates abnormal energy consumption include:

[0067] sending locations of the nth terminal device and the nth sub-path to a user, and simultaneously sending remote control instructions to all physical devices from the nth subpath.

[0068] In an example of the present invention, the life-cycle path of the terminal device subject to the energy consumption analysis is the nth sub-path of the nth terminal device, and a variable for the energy efficiency indicator calculation is acquired to obtain the energy efficiency indicator of the terminal device. In an example of the present invention, an energy consumption state of the terminal device is marked according to the energy efficiency indicator, and energy consumption waste points are accurately identified, to promptly solve energy consumption waste problems of an abnormal device, so as to achieve the purpose of energy saving. The digital twin technology is used to visually and intuitively display the energy consumption of a single physical device or an area composed of a plurality of physical devices.

[0069] According to an example of the present invention, construction of the energy efficiency indicator calculation formula for the nth terminal device in the above S104 is further described in detail. First, all the intermediate devices from the nth sub-path may affect the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device, or may not affect the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device, and may have a positive impact or a negative impact. For a same impact type, a degree of impact caused by each of the intermediate devices is also different. Therefore, according to an example of the present invention, a possible impact of a physical device is represented by an impact factor, and a set of impact factors is established. For the energy efficiency indicator calculation, an impact factor that causes the positive impact is represented by a positive value, and an impact factor that causes the negative impact is represented by a negative value. Moreover, weight division is based on the degree of impact. When any impact factor does not affect the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device, this impact factor will not be involved in the calculation. It can be understood that the nth terminal device is also in the nth sub-path, which will definitely affect its own energy efficiency indicator.

[0070] On this basis, in the above SI04 as illustrated in FIG. 2, the constructing an energy efficiency indicator calculation formula for the nth terminal device according to the nth subpath includes the following substeps:

[0071] SI041, obtaining an impact factor corresponding to each of the N physical devices and storing it in an impact factor set;

[0072] SI042, retrieving a physical device involved in energy efficiency indicator calculation from the nth sub-path according to a category of the energy efficiency indicator, and invoking an impact factor associated with the calculation from the impact factor set according to the physical device involved in the energy efficiency indicator calculation; and

[0073] SI043, constructing the energy efficiency indicator calculation formula for the nth terminal device according to the impact factor associated with the calculation.

[0074] Any physical device involved in the energy efficiency indicator calculation from the nth sub-path corresponds to one or more impact factors.

[0075] It should be noted that in the nth sub-path, some intermediate devices may be used as backup devices and therefore do not work, and also serve as physical devices not involved in the energy efficiency indicator calculation.

[0076] In an example, the energy efficiency indicator calculation formula includes:

[0077] storing the impact factor associated with the calculation in a set to be calculated, where the set to be calculated includes a first impact factor, a second impact factor,..., and a Kth impact factor;

[0078] setting a weight of the impact factor associated with the calculation, where the weight includes a first weight based on the physical device and a second weight based on an impact type;

[0079] the constructing the energy efficiency indicator calculation formula for the nth terminal device is detailed as follows:

[0080] the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device = Al*(all first impact factor + al2 first impact factor + ... + alm first impact factor + ... + a IM first impact factor) + A2*(a21 second impact factor + a22 second impact factor +...+ a2m second impact factor + ...+ a2M second impact factor) +...+ Ak*(akl kth impact factor + ak2 kth impact factor + ...+ akm kth impact factor +...+ akM kth impact factor) +...+ AK*(aKl Kth impact factor + aK2 Kth impact factor +...+ aKm Kth impact factor +...+ aKM Kth impact factor); and [0081 ] where AK represents the second weight based on an impact type, akm represents the first weight of the kth impact factor based on the physical device; Al+A2+...+Ak+...+AK=l, akl+ak2+... +akm+...+akM=l, where m represents the physical device involved in the energy efficiency indicator calculation from the nth sub-path, k represents the impact factor corresponding to the mth physical device involved in the energy efficiency indicator calculation from the nth sub-path, M represents a total number of physical devices involved in the energy efficiency indicator calculation from the nth sub-path, K is a total number of impact factors; K and M are positive integers, k is a positive integer less than or equal to K, m is a positive integer less than or equal to M, and M is less than or equal to N.

[0082] In an example, the impact factor includes at least one of peak-valley analysis, power factor adjustment analysis, load analysis, and energy consumption surge.

[0083] It should be noted that a value of the impact factor is calculated based on the operation data of the nth terminal device within the preset period.

[0084] The energy efficiency indicator includes at least one of an energy consumption safety indicator, an energy consumption efficiency indicator, and an energy consumption loss indicator.

[0085] For example, a value of the peak-valley analysis indicates an energy consumption period of the device, a value of the power factor adjustment analysis indicates an energy consumption efficiency, a value of the load analysis indicates an overloading situation, and a value of the energy consumption surge indicates a sudden increase of energy consumption.

[0086] In an example, the energy consumption safety indicator corresponds to a plurality of impact factors, such as the peak-valley analysis, the load analysis, and the energy consumption surge; the energy consumption efficiency indicator corresponds to a plurality of impact factors, such as the peak-valley analysis, the power factor adjustment analysis, and the load analysis; and the energy consumption loss indicator corresponds to a plurality of impact factors, such as the peak-valley analysis, the power factor adjustment analysis, the load analysis, and the energy consumption surge.

[0087] It should be noted that for the same impact type, the degree of impact caused by each of the intermediate devices is also different. For the impact factors provided in an example of the present invention, the peak-valley analysis represents the energy consumption period of the device, and a terminal device of an emergency device or an intermediate device of a transformer, will almost never stop running. For calculation of the energy consumption loss indicator, weights of the peak-valley analysis for the two types of devices need to be very low. Therefore, after determining of the energy efficiency indicator, for any impact factor, a weight of each physical device (including the terminal device and the intermediate device) is set according to the degree of impact of the physical device, where the degree of impact can be optimized in a network model according to historical energy consumption data and the energy efficiency indicator, and is obtained through the optimized network model.

[0088] Taking practical application as an example, the energy efficiency indicator of a terminal device -a No. 1 air conditioner, is calculated, including the energy consumption safety indicator, the energy consumption efficiency indicator, and the energy consumption loss indicator. When the energy consumption safety indicator is calculated, the physical devices involved in the energy efficiency indicator calculation are the No. 1 air conditioner and a No. 1 three-hole socket as the energy access device. When the energy consumption safety indicator is calculated, the impact factors include the peak-valley analysis, the power factor adjustment analysis, the load analysis, and the energy consumption surge. After setting of the second weight and the first weight, the energy consumption safety indicator of the No. 1 air conditioner = Al*(all peak-valley analysis + al2 peak-valley analysis) + A2*(a21 power factor adjustment analysis + a22 power factor adjustment analysis) + A3* (a31 load analysis + a32 load analysis) + A4* (a41 energy consumption surge + a42 energy consumption surge), where scores of the peak-valley analysis, the power factor adjustment analysis, the load analysis and the energy consumption surge are calculated according to the operation data of the No. 1 air conditioner and the No. 1 three-hole socket during the preset period. For example, the al 1 peak-valley analysis includes a physical device-based weight al 1 occupied by the No. 1 air conditioner in the impact factor of the peak-valley analysis, and a score of the peak-valley analysis obtained according to the operation data of the No. 1 air conditioner; the al2 peak Valley analysis includes a physical device-based weight al2 occupied by the No. 1 three-hole socket in the impact factor of the peak-valley analysis, and a score of the peak-valley analysis obtained according to the operation data of the No. 1 three-hole socket; the a21 power factor adjustment analysis includes a physical device-based weight a21 occupied by the No. 1 air conditioner in the impact factor of the power factor adjustment analysis, and a score of the power factor adjustment analysis obtained according to the operation data of the No. 1 air conditioner; and the a22 power factor adjustment analysis includes 1 a physical device-based weight a22 occupied by the No. 1 three-hole socket in the impact factor of the power factor adjustment analysis, and a score of the power factor adjustment analysis obtained according to the operation data of the No. 1 three-hole socket.

[0089] Illustratively, according to an example of the present invention, a decision is given according to a score of the impact factor in the energy efficiency indicator, and accordingly the remote control instructions are sent to all the physical devices from the nth sub-path after the nth terminal device and the nth sub-path are marked to be abnormal in the digital twin system according to the above SI 05. For instance, when a score of the peak-valley analysis is too low, it indicates that the energy consumption period of the terminal device is too long and the energy consumption is unreasonable, and in this case, a notification of reasonable energy consumption and a control instruction to turn off the device at scheduled times will be sent. When a score of the power factor adjustment analysis is too low, it indicates that an enterprise fails in power factor assessment for the current month, a load utilization rate is low, and the loss is high. In this case, a capacity reduction suggestion is sent. When a score of the load analysis is too low, it indicates that the value of the load is too high and a transformer of an energy-consuming unit is in an overload state. In this case, a line detection instruction is sent to check heating of the line, and capacity expansion is recommended in case of overloading. When a score of the energy consumption surge is too low, it indicates that a relatively significant energy consumption surge is detected, and in this case, an instruction to view an analysis of the energy consumption surge is sent to avoid energy consumption losses caused by improper energy consumption.

[0090] According to the above steps, an energy efficiency indicator analysis method provided in an example of the present invention, compared with a traditional method of using a large amount of real-time data to display energy consumption states of each device, enables to lock the intermediate devices according to the nth sub-path so as to quickly and accurately identify energy consumption waste points when the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal device indicates abnormal energy consumption, although the energy consumption state of each of the intermediate devices is not displayed separately. Therefore, the energy efficiency indicator analysis method provided in an example of the present invention fully takes into account an impact of non-terminal devices (such as the energy access devices, the processing and conversion devices, the conveying and distribution devices and other intermediate devices) in the life-cycle path on the terminal devices, such that the energy efficiency indicator of the nth terminal can accurately describe the energy consumption state, and the energy consumption waste points are quickly and accurately identified based on the nth sub-path, thereby improving energy consumption data accuracy and analysis efficiency.

[0091] In order to solve the above technical problems, an energy consumption analysis device based on a digital twin system is further provided in an example of the present invention.
