基于无监督学习的智能数据中心电力拓扑系统

Unsupervised learning-based intelligent data center power topology system

在任务关键型云计算服务中,构建准确的数据中心电力拓扑结构对于实现快速准确的故障处理,减轻故障事件对云计算服务质量的损害十分重要。但目前数据中心电力拓扑结构的生成过程具有劳动密集型的特点,其准确性难以得到有效评估和保障。该文设计了一种基于无监督学习的智能数据中心电力拓扑系统(intelligent data center power topology system,IPTS),不仅可为电力系统的运行部分自动生成实时变化的电力拓扑结构,而且可利用电力系统的监控数据对人工构建的数据中心电力拓扑结构进行验证。实验结果表明,IPTS可自动生成准确的数据中心电力拓扑结构,一致性比率(CR)可达到0.978,并可有效地定位人工构建的电力拓扑结构中的大多数错误。

ion of the DC power system according to the domain knowledge of DC power system architectures,the DC power system can be divided into several hierarchical functional blocks.Then,two unsupervised structure learning algorithms,namely,the one-to-one(O2O)and one-to-multiple(O2M)structure learning algorithms,are separately developed to automatically recover the O2O and O2M connection types between all pieces of power equipment in a divide-and-conquer manner.Moreover,no methods or metrics can currently be used to verify enterprise DC power topology unless manually checking with high complexity in terms of multiple data sources and numerous connections.To better indicate the consistency of connections within any two pieces of power equipment,this paper further designs an evaluation metric called the consistency ratio(CR).The CR derives from a systematic evaluation process that compares the original enterprise DC power topology information with learning-based enterprise DC power-topology information produced by IPTS automatically and iteratively.[Results]The experimental results of two large-scale DCs show that IPTS automatically generates accurate DC power topology with a 10%improvement on average over existing state-of-the-art methods and effectively reveals most errors(including errors in the local system for operations)in manually constructed DC power topology with 0.990 precision.After performing corrections according to the verification results,CR values between the learned structure and modified DC power topology can be improved to 0.978 on average,which is 18%~113%higher than that of the original topology.Additionally,for the inconsistent cases that occurred while generating and verifying power topology,this paper gives comprehensive investigations.[Conclusion]IPTS is the first system that uses data analytics for DC power topology generation and verification and has been successfully deployed for 19 enterprise DCs and applied in real large-scale industrial practice.
