In sports competitions, using energy-saving and emission-reduction measures is an important means to achieve the carbon neutrality goal.

Methods

In this paper, we propose an attention mechanism-based convolutional neural network (CNN) combined with the gated recurrent unit (GRU) for carbon neutral energy saving and emission reduction prediction model in sports competitions, CNN is a feedforward neural network whose input is a two-dimensional matrix. The main feature of CNN is that it can handle multi-channel input data, and the use of GRU can make the model structure simple and largely reduce The use of GRU can make the model structure simple, which largely reduces the hardware computational power and time cost and also better solves the long dependency problem in RNN networks. CNN-GRU extracts the data for features and then optimized by the attention mechanism.

Results

The model collects real-time carbon emissions data from sports events, including game times, lighting usage, air conditioning emissions and other carbon emissions data, and uses deep learning algorithms to predict and compare carbon emissions from sports competition.

Discussion

In identifying energy saving and emission reduction measures conducive to the realization of the goal of carbon neutral sports events, the model has a certain reference value for realizing energy saving and emission reduction in sports competitions under carbon neutrality goals.
