A method, computer system, and a computer program product for assessing energy consumption is provided. The present invention may include determining a first set of critical energy consumption units (ECUs) involved in a target production process, the pool of the critical ECUs being obtained based on a plurality of reference production processes. The present invention may then include determining a second set of critical ECUs involved in the candidate production process. The present invention may also include determining a first set of non-critical ECUs involved in the target production process, the pool of the non-critical ECUs being obtained based on the plurality of reference production processes. The present invention may then include determining, a second set of non-critical ECUs involved in the candidate production process. The present invention may further include determining the process similarity.

Energy consumption assessment

In an approach, a processor predicts a thermal load caused by a door opening event in at least part of a cargo space of a refrigerated transport vehicle based on, at least, an external ambient condition, environmental factors within the cargo space, and a duration of the door opening event. A processor obtains pre-cooling profile information describing cargo space temperature performance with a pre-cooling operation under conditions corresponding to, at least, the predicted thermal load caused by the door opening event. A processor determines a distribution path for the refrigerated transport vehicle based on the predicted thermal load caused by the door opening event and the obtained pre-cooling profile information, wherein the distribution path is associated with the pre-cooling operation.

Refrigerated transport temperature regulation

According to embodiments of the present invention, the energy consumption assessment is done by identifying the benchmark production processes or enterprises. First, a process similarity between a target production process and a candidate production process is determined based on energy consumption units (ECUs) involved in the target production process and the candidate production process. In response to the process similarity being greater than a first threshold, an energy consumption similarity between the target production process and the candidate production process is determined based on a factor that has influence on energy consumption of at least one of the ECUs. In response to the energy consumption similarity being greater than a second threshold, the candidate production process is identified as a benchmark for assessing energy consumption of the target production process.

The present disclosure provides a charging system, charging method, and charging control device. The charging system comprises a charger configured to be coupled to an external power source with its one end; a plurality of secondary batteries configured to be coupled to the charger, respectively; and a control device configured to be coupled to the charger and the plurality of secondary batteries, to control the charger to perform a charging operation on the plurality of secondary battery. According to the present disclosure, the secondary batteries having harmonics with identical frequencies and opposite phases are connected in parallel for charging, to reduce or eliminate the harmonic distortion generated by high order harmonics, and effectively reduce the value of THD.
