[0118] Step S4 includes the following sub - steps:

[0119] Step S401 defines the model predictive control objective function, and the model predictive control objective function is:

[0120]

[0121] Among them, P set is the target pressure value of the main steam header, P k is the main steam header pressure data, η max is the maximum combustion efficiency, ΔF is the fuel flow adjustment amount, w1 is the efficiency weight coefficient, and w2 is the fuel adjustment weight coefficient.

[0122] Define the constraint conditions, and the constraint conditions are:

[0124] Step S401 defines the objective function of model predictive control, provides a clear goal for the subsequent optimization process, sets constraint conditions, including limitations on fuel flow data, excess air coefficient, and fuel flow adjustment amount, ensuring safety and feasibility during the adjustment process.

[0125] In step S402, the model predictive control objective function is transformed into the standard QP form to obtain the objective function. The objective function is decomposed and combined, and the fuel flow adjustment amounts ΔF for the next N steps k and the excess air coefficient adjustment amounts α for the next N steps k are obtained, and the first-step fuel flow adjustment amount ΔF1 and the first-step excess air coefficient adjustment amount α1 are obtained.

[0126] Step S402 transforms the model predictive control objective function into the standard QP form, which is convenient for solving using a QP solver. By decomposing and combining the objective function, the fuel flow adjustment amounts and excess air coefficient adjustment amounts for the next N steps are obtained, providing a basis for long-term optimization. The first-step fuel flow adjustment amount and the first-step excess air coefficient adjustment amount are extracted, providing execution instructions for immediate control.

[0127] In step S403, the first-step fuel flow adjustment amount ΔF1 and the first-step excess air coefficient adjustment amount α1 are sent to the actuator.

[0128] Step S403 sends the first-step adjustment amounts to the actuator, realizing the immediate adjustment of the combustion process and improving the response speed and accuracy of control.

[0129] Step S4 also includes:

[0130] In step S404, the efficiency weight coefficient and the fuel adjustment weight coefficient of the model predictive control objective function are dynamically adjusted. When the pressure deviation is greater than the preset pressure deviation threshold, the efficiency weight coefficient is increased by the first percentage. When the combustion efficiency is less than the preset combustion efficiency threshold, the fuel adjustment weight coefficient is increased by the second percentage.

[0131] Step S404 dynamically adjusts the efficiency weight coefficient and the fuel adjustment weight coefficient of the model predictive control objective function, enabling the control system to make adaptive adjustments according to the current operating conditions. When the pressure deviation is greater than the preset threshold, the efficiency weight coefficient is increased to prioritize ensuring the pressure stability of the system. When the combustion efficiency is less than the preset threshold, the fuel adjustment weight coefficient is increased to prioritize improving the combustion efficiency, thereby optimizing energy utilization and reducing emissions.

[0132] In step S4, the fuel flow rate and the excess air coefficient are adjusted through a model predictive control method to optimize the combustion process. This step takes into account the constraints of the fuel flow rate, the excess air coefficient, and the fuel flow rate adjustment amount. By converting it into a standard quadratic programming form for solution, the adjustment amounts for the next N steps are obtained, and the adjustment amount for the first step is sent to the actuator. In addition, the weight coefficients of the objective function are dynamically adjusted according to the pressure deviation and the combustion efficiency to adapt to different operating conditions.

[0133] Step S5 includes the following sub-steps:

[0134] In step S501, if the combustion efficiency is lower than the preset low combustion efficiency for three consecutive times, a primary warning signal is triggered.

[0135] When the combustion efficiency is lower than the preset low combustion efficiency for three consecutive times, triggering a primary warning signal helps the operator to promptly discover the problem of the decreasing combustion efficiency and take corresponding adjustment measures to prevent the further decrease of the combustion efficiency.

[0136] In step S502, if the combustion efficiency continues to drop to the preset dangerous combustion efficiency and the adjustment amount of the excess air coefficient has reached the lower limit, a high-level warning signal is triggered.

[0137] In step S502, if the combustion efficiency continues to drop to the preset dangerous combustion efficiency and the adjustment amount of the excess air coefficient has reached the lower limit, a high-level warning signal is triggered, indicating that the combustion system has been in a relatively dangerous state and the operator needs to take immediate emergency measures to avoid possible failures or accidents.

[0138] In step S503, the primary warning signal and the high-level warning signal are uploaded to the central monitoring system and pushed to the operator's mobile terminal.

[0139] In step S503, uploading the primary warning signal and the high-level warning signal to the central monitoring system and pushing them to the operator's mobile terminal ensures that the warning signals can be conveyed to the operator in a timely and accurate manner. No matter where they are, the operator can quickly respond and handle the warning situation.

[0140] Step S5 also includes:

[0141] In step S504, a safety limit for the pressure change rate is set. If the pressure change rate exceeds the safety limit for the pressure change rate, the manual control mode is switched.

[0142] In step S504, setting a safety limit for the pressure change rate and switching to the manual control mode if the pressure change rate exceeds this limit helps to prevent system instability or damage caused by too rapid pressure changes. By switching to the manual control mode, the operator can respond more flexibly to emergencies.

[0143] Step S505: Set the automatic calibration frequency and automatically calibrate the sensor data.

[0144] Step S505 sets the automatic calibration frequency and automatically calibrates the sensor data, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the sensor data and providing accurate basic data for the monitoring and control of the combustion system. At the same time, the automatic calibration also reduces the burden on the operator and improves work efficiency.

[0145] Step S5 realizes the real-time monitoring, early warning and safety control of the combustion process, ensuring the stable operation of the combustion system and the timely response of the operator. This step not only focuses on the change of combustion efficiency, but also considers the safety of the pressure change rate and the accuracy of the sensor, providing strong support for the comprehensive monitoring and management of combustion.

[0146] The present invention can calculate the degree of combustion sufficiency in real time by collecting flue gas composition data and fuel element analysis data. Combining with the dynamic calculation of combustion efficiency, it can adjust the fuel flow rate and excess air coefficient in a timely manner to ensure that the combustion process is carried out in the best state, thereby improving combustion efficiency. By using flow data to construct a dynamic model of the main steam header pressure, it can accurately predict the pressure change rate and provide a scientific basis for fuel adjustment. Through the model predictive control strategy, the fuel flow rate can be dynamically adjusted to avoid overfeeding or underfeeding, ensuring the full utilization of fuel and reducing the fuel consumption cost. By real-time monitoring the flue gas composition data, problems existing in the combustion process can be found in a timely manner, such as too high carbon monoxide content or excessive nitrogen oxide emissions caused by insufficient combustion. By adjusting the fuel flow rate and excess air coefficient, the combustion process can be optimized and the emission content can be reduced to meet environmental protection requirements. By constructing a dynamic model of the main steam header pressure and combining with the model predictive control strategy, precise control of the system pressure can be achieved, enhancing the stability of the system. Setting the safety limit of the pressure change rate and the automatic calibration frequency can ensure that the system can be switched to the manual control mode in a timely manner under abnormal conditions and ensure the accuracy of the sensor data. When the combustion efficiency is continuously lower than the preset threshold, a primary warning signal is triggered; when the combustion efficiency continues to decline to a dangerous level and the adjustment amount of the excess air coefficient has reached the lower limit, a high-level warning signal is triggered, which helps the operator to detect combustion problems in a timely manner and plan to increase the fuel or change the fuel type to ensure the maximization of the main steam header efficiency and avoid system failures or safety accidents.
