The invention provides a method for controlling standby restart of a centrifugal-type water cooling unit. The method includes step S1, acquiring running parameters before standby, and comparing the running parameters with preset parameters to determine a standby reason; step S2, when the standby reason is water temperature standby, setting restart target parameters according to an incremental learning algorithm; step S3, controlling restart of the unit according to the restart target parameters. According to the method, when the standby reason is water temperature standby, the restart target parameters are set according to the incremental learning algorithm, and restart of the unit is controlled according to the restart target parameters, so that running load of the unit is enabled to be matched with working conditions, the unit is enabled to run under small-load working conditions, potential safety hazards caused by frequent start and stop of the unit are lowered, and the unit is enabled to be more energy saving. In addition, high-low pressure difference of the unit can be lowered, so that the unit is enabled to be away from a surge area, and potential surge possibility of the unit is lowered.
