  • Patent number: 12247761
    Abstract: A system and a method for comprehensive utilization of renewable energy and waste heat of a data center are provided. The system includes a data center, a water cistern, a water circulating system and a refrigerant circulating system. The water cistern is used to adopt heating capacity of the data center to complete a heat storage process within a set first period, and adopt the heating capacity stored in the heat storage process to supply a heat release process within a set second period. The water circulating system is provided with a plurality of water circulating loops. The refrigerant circulating system is provided with a plurality of circulating systems. The heat storage process and the heat release process are implemented by cooperation of the plurality of water circulating loops and/or the plurality of circulating systems, which may effectively reduce heat costs of users in winter.

  • Patent number: 12126302
    Abstract: A device for supplying cold energy, heat energy and electrical energy by efficiently converting renewable deep-space energies includes a solar-energy conversion device, a radiation refrigeration device, a rotary bracket, a dip-angle adjustment component, and a support base. The solar-energy conversion device and the radiation refrigeration device are connected to the rotary bracket in a mutually perpendicular manner, and the rotary bracket is connected to the dip-angle adjustment component which is connected to the support base. The dip-angle adjustment component is configured to adjust a dip angle between the rotary bracket and a horizontal plane, and the rotary bracket is configured to drive the solar-energy conversion device and the radiation refrigeration device to rotate, such that a sunward side of the solar-energy conversion device is always perpendicular to light rays irradiated by the sun, and a reflective surface of the radiation refrigeration device is always parallel to the light rays.

  • Patent number: 11581735
    Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for dynamically controlling electrical loads, a storage medium and an electronic apparatus. The method includes that: a current capacity balance of a user sub-region is acquired from an intelligent electricity monitoring and metering terminal through a mobile terminal; when the current capacity balance is smaller than a load power of an electric consumption device to be started in the user sub-region, a regional coordination control apparatus or a server is requested through the mobile terminal to adjust and increase a capacity allocated for the user sub-region, such that a capacity balance will be greater than or equal to the load power; and whether to allow to start the electric consumption device is determined according to a decision replied by the regional coordination control apparatus or the server.
