[0032] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation, a large number of specific details are set forth. However, it is understood that the present invention can be implemented without these specific details. In other examples, well-known circuits, structures, and technologies are not shown in detail so as not to affect the understanding of the description.

[0033] References throughout this specification to "an implementation," "an implementation," "an exemplary implementation," "some implementations," "various implementations," etc., indicate that the implementations of the invention being described may include particular features, structures, or characteristics. However, it does not imply that every implementation must include those particular features, structures, or characteristics. Furthermore, some implementations may have some, all, or none of the features described for other implementations.

[0034] Figure 1 exemplarily shows a factory scene according to the present invention. As shown in Figure 1 , 101 represents public utilities, 102 represents equipment, and 103 represents connection lines.

[0035] First, public utilities refer to essential infrastructure and infrastructure, such as electrical systems, power grids, transformers, air conditioning compressors, chillers, and water lines, used to build factories, plants, and equipment rooms. These infrastructure consumes a certain amount of resources and generates a fixed amount of energy.

[0036] Secondly, the connecting line refers to the line connecting the public auxiliary facilities and equipment, which can be understood as the actual passage used to connect the equipment as well as the cable line, water line, air conditioning pipe line, etc.

[0037] In some embodiments, the utilities and the connecting lines may be collectively referred to as supply lines, and accordingly, the utilities model and the connecting line model may be collectively referred to as supply line models. In other words, the supply line includes utilities and the connecting lines, and the supply line model includes the utilities model and the connecting line model.

[0038] In some embodiments, the construction of the supply line model includes creating a supply object to capture the consumption of all energy or materials by the equipment, such as gas, water, electricity, heat, compressed air, etc. The supply line can be a virtual abstract line without parameters, for example, a simple connecting line; the supply line can also be a system composed of various components such as compressors, pumps, valves, etc., that is, it includes two parts: public utilities and connecting lines. The purpose of establishing a supply line model is to unify the management and modeling of energy and material consumption, and to promote the calculation and optimization of carbon emissions. The supply line model composed of a public utilities model and a connecting line model needs to accommodate both general and special equipment to ensure that it is suitable for different types of production environments. The supply of supply lines facilitates the centralized management of equipment consumption, and carbon consumption can be quickly calculated through the configured emission factors. The calculation results are clear and easy to analyze and compare.

[0039] In some embodiments, the supply line may include basic electrical lines such as busbars, and may also include other lines such as sub-lines. Specifically, common default supply line types include the following: cooling system bus, power supply system bus, electric supply system bus, gas supply system bus, dust removal system bus, fresh air system bus, heating system bus, air conditioning and refrigeration system bus, air conditioning heating system bus, cutting fluid supply system bus, and lighting system bus. Each supply line may include several public utilities and several connecting lines.

[0040] Then, equipment refers to the facilities and equipment in the production process, used for production and manufacturing, such as lathes, cache machines, track changers, placement machines and other equipment, which need to consume corresponding energy to work and further produce carbon emissions.

[0041] Furthermore, operating parameters refer to parameters required for equipment operation, including inherent parameters and process parameters.

[0042] Furthermore, for the equipment model, not only the inherent parameters of the basic operation of the equipment are added or input, but also the process parameters of the equipment operation need to be input.

[0043] Intrinsic parameters are usually obtained from nameplate parameters and remain fixed. Process parameters reflect the relevant parameters required for the equipment to complete production under the production task at a specific moment. The process parameters are dynamic and determined according to production needs or production arrangements. When the production task is large, the process parameters may be the maximum process parameters, and when the production task is small, the process parameters may be the minimum process parameters. The process parameters may include different gears, which are set for different needs. These process parameters are used to simulate carbon consumption in the product manufacturing process. This way of distinguishing between inherent parameters and process parameters can take into account both the characteristics of the equipment itself and the impact of different processes on carbon emissions.

[0044] One implementation scenario of this application involves modeling equipment, utilities, and connecting lines. The equipment model and the utilities model are then connected using the connecting line model according to actual connections. Corresponding parameters or measurement values ​​are then written into the corresponding models, and the overall carbon emissions are calculated based on these parameters or measurement values ​​using a carbon emissions database. This method is flexible and can be reused or adjusted to suit actual conditions, thereby providing decision-making and support for factory production arrangements.

[0045] Based on this, as shown in FIG2 , one embodiment of the present application discloses a method for calculating carbon emissions of equipment, which includes:

[0046] S201: Provide a public utility model, an equipment model, and a connection line model. The public utility model, the equipment model, and the connection line model can be established or provided by a preset existing model.

[0047] To calculate carbon emissions, a model of utility facilities is first required. Because utility facilities support equipment operation and consume energy and generate carbon emissions, in some embodiments, a model of these facilities is required. In subsequent carbon emissions calculations, these facilities' carbon emissions must be included in the overall carbon emissions.

[0048] Secondly, it provides equipment modeling. The equipment model is a model that abstracts and extracts the energy consumption parameters of the equipment, which is used to add the operating parameters of the corresponding equipment later and apply them to the carbon emission calculation.

[0049] Furthermore, the lines themselves also have certain energy losses, and the actual line connection process also requires setting connection parameters. Therefore, a connection line model can be provided. This way, during the carbon emission process, the energy losses caused by these connection parameters can also be calculated in the overall carbon emission calculation.

[0050] Furthermore, providing a public utility model, an equipment model, and a connection line model includes:

[0051] Import existing public auxiliary facilities models, existing equipment models, and existing connection line models through JSON or XML format; or

[0052] Add or modify modules in existing public auxiliary facilities models, existing equipment models and existing connection line models to establish public auxiliary facilities models, equipment models and connection line models; or

[0053] By importing simplified general parameters, public utility model, equipment model and connection line model are established.

[0054] Specifically, the first method imports a mechanism model in JSON or XML format and quickly builds a model according to a predefined format. This method is suitable for situations where a mechanism model already exists and a quick system setup is required. The second method adds a model using an existing template, reducing modeling time and effort. The third method allows for the import of simplified common parameters for devices and power buses, streamlining the modeling process.

[0055] Through the above methods, the corresponding models can be flexibly established. These three methods are designed to improve modeling efficiency and flexibility to meet the needs of different users.

[0056] S202: Connect the public auxiliary facility model and the equipment model through a connecting line model.

[0057] Furthermore, according to the actual connection situation in reality, the public utility model and the equipment model are connected through the connecting line model. Specifically, the interfaces between the public utility model and the equipment model can be unified and connected and debugged according to the actual connection situation. Not only the connection between the public utility model and the connecting line model is established, but also the connection between the equipment model and the connecting line model is established, so as to simulate or replicate the actual connection situation between real equipment, form the entire simulation system, and form a path between the equipment and public utility.

[0058] Through the above methods, various production situations can be simulated completely and flexibly, thereby building an accurate model for subsequent carbon emissions calculations.

[0059] S203: adding operating parameters to the model and associating it with a carbon emission database.

[0060] Specifically, for the utility model, actual measurement values ​​can be input. These measurement values ​​are the basic values ​​required to ensure the operation of the utility. These values ​​also represent the basic conditions of the utility's normal operation and have a one-to-one correspondence with the utility's normal carbon emissions.

[0061] Secondly, the operating parameters are input into the equipment model, including inherent parameters and process parameters, so as to restore the actual operating conditions of the equipment during the production process.

[0062] After adding the above parameters or measurement values, the utility model, equipment model and connection line model are associated with the carbon emission database to prepare for the database to obtain the carbon emission factor of the corresponding model.

[0063] Specifically, the association means that since the carbon emission database contains different and corresponding carbon emission factors for different types of public utilities, equipment, and connecting lines, the equipment carbon emission optimization system matches and searches for different public utilities models, equipment models, and connecting line models in the carbon emission database, thereby obtaining the carbon emission factors of the corresponding public utilities, equipment, and connecting lines in the carbon emission database; the carbon emission factors will be used in subsequent carbon emission calculations.

[0064] Through this approach, different parameter settings can be made for public utilities and equipment to match their actual energy consumption. Adding inherent and process parameters to the equipment model further aligns with the equipment's actual production conditions, allowing for more flexible adjustment of equipment energy consumption and, consequently, more accurate calculation of subsequent carbon emissions.

[0065] In some embodiments, further, adding operating parameters to the model further includes: adding connecting line parameters to the connecting line model.

[0066] Through the above implementation, the loss of the connecting line can also be taken into account, so that the carbon emissions can be calculated more accurately in the future, thereby improving the accuracy of the simulation.

[0067] S204: Calculate the carbon emissions of the device based on the carbon emissions database.

[0068] Specifically, the equipment carbon emissions optimization system can calculate the corresponding carbon emissions based on the carbon emissions database, the utility model, the equipment model, and the connection line model established above. As mentioned above, the interconnection between the equipment model, the utility model, and the connection line model constitutes a comprehensive simulation of the production process.

[0069] In some embodiments, the carbon emission database stores carbon emission factors for different equipment or energy types. Calculating the carbon emissions of the equipment involves converting the parameters of the utility facilities, equipment models, and connection line models into corresponding energy consumption, and then multiplying the energy consumption by the carbon emission factors for the different energy consumptions from the carbon emission database. For example, taking power-consuming facilities such as substations and machine tools as an example, the equipment carbon emission optimization system can calculate the hourly power consumption of the substation and machine tools in kilowatt-hours (kWh) using the metered values ​​of the substation, the fixed parameters of the machine tools, and the process parameters. The equipment carbon emission optimization system then searches the carbon emission factors for the corresponding substations and machine tools in the carbon emission database, or uses the unified carbon emission factors for power consumption, and multiplies these carbon emission factors by the hourly power consumption to obtain the carbon emissions of power-consuming facilities such as substations and machine tools. In some embodiments, the units of the carbon emission factors for power consumption can be kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt-hour (kg CO2-eq / kWh). The final calculated carbon emissions are in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kg CO2-eq).

[0070] Similarly, for public utilities or equipment such as natural gas energy consumption, the optimization system for equipment carbon emissions can also calculate the natural gas energy consumption of the public utilities and equipment per unit time through the measurement values ​​of the public utilities model and the fixed parameters and process parameters of the equipment model, in Nm 3 Then, according to the corresponding public utility type or equipment type, the equipment carbon emission optimization system finds the carbon emission factor of the corresponding public utility type and equipment type in the carbon emission database, or finds the unified carbon emission factor of natural gas energy consumption, and multiplies the carbon emission factor by the natural gas energy consumption per unit time to calculate the carbon emissions. In some embodiments, the unit of the carbon emission factor of natural gas energy consumption can be kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per cubic meter (kg CO2-eq / Nm 3 ). The unit of the carbon emissions finally calculated is also kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kg CO2-eq). The implementing entities of the above processes are all equipment carbon emissions optimization systems. In summary, through the measurement values ​​of the public auxiliary facilities model in the above-established public auxiliary facilities model, equipment model and connecting line model, the fixed parameters and process parameters of the equipment model, and the connection parameters of the connecting line model, the equipment carbon emissions optimization system calculates the carbon emissions of the entire system based on the corresponding carbon emission factors in the carbon emission database. Thus, the equipment carbon emissions optimization system simulates the carbon emissions under different production conditions and provides data support for production tasks and production management.

[0071] In some embodiments, in order to achieve the calculation and optimization of carbon emissions, a carbon emissions database can be established in advance. The carbon emissions database can also be called an emission factor database. The emission factor database collects and organizes emission factor data corresponding to the energy and material consumption related to the supply line. These data are used to provide coefficient factors between various types of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. By importing these data into the emission factor database in batches, the equipment carbon emissions optimization system can calculate the carbon emissions of the corresponding facilities or energy consumption based on the energy consumption of the equipment and supply lines. In some embodiments, the establishment and importing of the emission factor database is intended to improve the accuracy and automation of the equipment carbon emissions optimization system in carbon emissions calculation. The use of this modeling method and the carbon emissions database provides automatic calculation capabilities for the equipment carbon emissions optimization system.

[0072] In general, the equipment carbon emissions optimization system can model the public utility model, the connection line model and the equipment model separately, and set different parameters or measurement values ​​for different models, so that the calculated carbon emissions are more precise and accurate. In the later stage, the parameters of different models can be adjusted separately, and different scenarios can be adaptively simulated, which has a wide range of applications.

[0073] As described above, the method for calculating equipment carbon emissions disclosed in this application can quickly and accurately calculate carbon emissions during product production, allowing factories without metering equipment to self-monitor their carbon emissions. This method for calculating equipment carbon emissions is highly flexible and scalable, as the analysis can be performed on equipment, products, or workshops. The scope of a supply line is unrestricted: a series of equipment can constitute a production line, multiple production lines can constitute a workshop, and multiple workshops can constitute an entire factory.

[0074] These innovative approaches enable the establishment of a model-based carbon emissions optimization system that accurately calculates carbon emissions during product production and enables self-monitoring of carbon emissions within the factory. The interconnectedness between equipment and supply line models provides a comprehensive simulation of the production process. The modeling approach and emission factor database provide modeling flexibility and the system's automated calculation capabilities. This system will help factories effectively manage and reduce carbon emissions, contributing to environmental protection and sustainable development.

[0081] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowchart of FIG2 are shown in sequence as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be performed in other orders.
