Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of factory energy consumption management, and specifically to a smart factory dynamic optimization management system based on digital twins and big data analysis. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing, factory production efficiency and capacity have significantly increased, but this has also led to increasingly prominent energy consumption issues. According to statistics, my country's manufacturing sector accounts for over 30% of the nation's total energy consumption. Energy waste is particularly severe in discrete factories due to their diverse equipment, complex processes, and fluctuating production schedules. Factory energy management has become a key concern for major companies and research institutions. Achieving energy conservation and consumption reduction while maintaining production efficiency is a key issue for the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry.

[0003] Traditional factory energy consumption management usually relies on manual statistics and empirical judgment, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to accurately grasp energy consumption data, making it impossible to achieve refined management and optimized control. Although existing factory energy consumption management systems have achieved the collection and analysis of energy consumption data to a certain extent, they still have the following shortcomings:

[0004] The lack of comprehensive digital modeling of the factory's physical entities makes it difficult to accurately simulate and predict energy consumption distribution, and is unable to reflect the coupling relationship between equipment and the impact of process parameter changes on energy consumption;

[0005] The data collection dimension is single, mainly focusing on energy consumption data such as electricity and water, and cannot fully consider the impact of multiple factors such as production process parameters, equipment operating status, and ambient temperature and humidity on energy consumption;

[0006] Most energy consumption optimization strategies are based on a single objective, making it difficult to achieve the coordinated optimization of multiple objectives such as energy consumption, cost, and equipment utilization, which can easily lead to poor results in actual applications.

[0007] The diagnosis and treatment of abnormal energy consumption lacks systematicity and intelligence, relying on manual investigation, making it difficult to quickly locate the root cause and take effective measures, resulting in delayed abnormal processing and energy waste.

[0008] In recent years, the rapid development of digital twin technology and big data analytics has provided new insights into factory energy management. Digital twin technology builds virtual models of physical entities, enabling real-time simulation and prediction of equipment, processes, and systems. Big data analytics, on the other hand, enables in-depth mining of multi-source, heterogeneous data to uncover hidden patterns in energy consumption and key influencing factors. However, integrating these two approaches to build a comprehensive, intelligent, and efficient factory energy optimization management system and methodology remains a pressing technical challenge.

[0060] The digital twin building block is configured to build a digital model of the factory's physical entities. This includes equipment-level twin units, process-level twin units, and system-level twin units. The equipment-level twin unit is configured to simulate the energy consumption characteristics of a single piece of equipment, including power-load curves and start-stop energy loss models.

It is modeled using graph theory methods, abstracting energy conversion equipment as nodes and energy transmission paths as edges, and constructing a directed weighted graph G = (V, E, W), where the node v∈V represents the energy equipment, the edge e∈E represents the energy flow relationship, and the weight w∈W represents the energy conversion efficiency or transmission loss.

[0069] The data analysis module is configured to train an energy consumption prediction model based on historical data. The data analysis module also includes an energy consumption feature extraction unit, a prediction model training unit, and a model calibration unit. The energy consumption feature extraction unit is configured to calculate indicators such as the equipment energy efficiency entropy value, process energy consumption coupling degree, and carbon efficiency ratio. The calculation formula for the equipment energy efficiency entropy value (EES) is:

[0070]

[0071] Where p ij is the energy consumption ratio of equipment i in the jth working condition, which includes startup, standby, full load operation, etc. i When it is close to 1, it means that the energy consumption of the equipment is evenly distributed under various working conditions and the energy efficiency is stable. i When it is close to 0, it means that the equipment energy consumption is concentrated in a few working conditions and there is great potential for energy efficiency optimization.

[0072] The calculation formula of process energy consumption coupling (PEC) is:

[0073]

[0074] Where, Ea 、E b is the energy consumption sequence of process a and process b, Cov(·) is the covariance, and σ is the standard deviation. ab When ∣>0.7, it is determined to be strongly coupled. At this time, the adjustment of one process will significantly affect the energy consumption of the other process.

[0075] The prediction model training unit is configured to use the attention mechanism to optimize the LSTM network. Its structure includes an input layer, an attention layer, an LSTM layer, and an output layer. The attention layer calculates the importance weight of the input feature using the following formula:

[0076] α t =softmax(W a tanh(W h ·h t-1 +W x ·x t ));

[0078] The model calibration unit is configured to correct the digital twin model parameters in real time based on the Kalman filter algorithm, with a correction period of 100ms.

[0079] The dynamic optimization decision module is configured to generate energy consumption scheduling strategies and verify their effectiveness through a digital twin model. Specifically, this involves constructing a multi-objective optimization function encompassing total energy consumption, energy cost, and equipment utilization, setting production cycle constraints, equipment start / stop time constraints, and energy supply upper limits, and employing an improved NSGA-III algorithm to find the Pareto optimal solution set.

[0080] Among them, the multi-objective optimization function is:

[0085] In a preferred embodiment, the improved NSGA-III algorithm introduces a reference point adaptation mechanism, which is implemented by the following steps:

[0086] Initialize the reference point set Z = {z 1 ,z 2 ,...z H ,}, where H is the number of reference points;

[0087] Calculate the distance d from each solution to each reference point i,j =‖x i -z j ‖;

[0088] Assign each solution to the nearest reference point and calculate the congestion degree δ of the reference point j ;

[0089] When the congestion of a reference point is too high, a new reference point is generated near it;

[0090] When a reference point is not assigned to a solution, it is deleted from the reference point set.

[0091] The anomaly diagnosis module is configured to trigger causal reasoning analysis and automatically adjust equipment operating parameters when the deviation between actual energy consumption and the twin model's prediction exceeds a threshold. Specifically, this involves building a Bayesian network that incorporates equipment status, process parameters, and environmental variables, updating network parameters based on real-time data, and calculating the contribution of each factor to energy anomalies. When the contribution exceeds a preset threshold, parameter adjustment instructions are generated and sent to the PLC system.

[0092] Example 2:

[0093] The smart factory dynamic optimization management method based on digital twin and big data analysis provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0094] S1. Collect factory equipment energy consumption data and production process parameters using smart meters and vibration sensors. Specifically, a DDSY1352 smart meter collects equipment energy consumption data, and a vibration sensor with a range of 0-50g monitors the equipment's operating status at a frequency of 100Hz. The collected data is transmitted via industrial Ethernet to an edge computing gateway, where data cleaning, feature extraction, and compression are performed. A sliding window filter algorithm is used for data cleaning, and a wavelet transform is used for feature extraction to convert time-domain signals into frequency-domain signals and extract the energy characteristics of different frequency components.

[0095] S2. Build a digital twin model of the factory's physical entity, which includes equipment energy consumption characteristic equations and process-related logic. The steps of building a digital twin model include:

[0096] Construct a physical model of device-level energy consumption and determine the functional relationship between device power, load, and speed through mechanism analysis.

[0097] Establish a process-level energy consumption transfer model to quantify the energy consumption coupling effect between different process links. Use the system dynamics method to establish the process-level energy consumption transfer equation:

[0098]

[0099] Where, E i (t) is the energy consumption of process i, α ij is the energy consumption transfer coefficient of process j to process i, β i is the energy consumption attenuation coefficient of process i, γ i To control the input gain, u i (t) is the control input.

[0100] Develop a system-level energy flow network model to simulate the energy distribution and conversion process of the entire plant. Use the Energy Hub modeling method to unify the conversion, storage, and distribution processes of different energy forms:

[0101]

[0102] Where, E e 、E h 、E c are the electrical, thermal and cold energy outputs, E e,in 、E h,in 、E c,in are the electrical, thermal and cold energy inputs respectively, x→y is the conversion efficiency from energy form x to energy form y.

[0103] S3. Build an energy consumption prediction model using an LSTM network based on an attention mechanism. The mechanism calculates the importance of input features through a weight matrix. The steps of building an energy consumption prediction model include:

[0104] Decompose the input features into time series to extract trend terms, cycle terms, and residual terms. Use the STL (Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loss) decomposition method:

[0105] y t =T t +S t +R t ;

[0106] Where y t is the original time series, T t is the trend term, S tis a periodic term, R t is the residual term.

[0107] The importance weights of different time steps are calculated through the self-attention mechanism, which is implemented by the following formula:

[0108]

[0109] Where Q, K, and V are query matrix, key matrix, and value matrix, respectively. k is the dimension of the key vector.

[0110] The model is trained using a quantile loss function that simultaneously optimizes prediction intervals at different confidence levels:

[0111]

[0112] Where τ is the percentile value, y i is the actual value, is the predicted value.

[0113] When the prediction confidence (EPC) is lower than 0.7, the model adaptive update is triggered. The prediction confidence calculation formula is:

[0114]

[0115] S4: When the actual energy consumption deviates from the twin prediction value by more than 10%, the causal reasoning process is triggered to locate the root cause of the anomaly. The causal reasoning process includes:

[0116] A Bayesian network is constructed that includes equipment status, process parameters, and environmental variables. The network structure is learned using a scoring search method, and the Bayesian Information Criterion is used as the scoring function.

[0117] Update network parameters based on real-time data and calculate the contribution of each factor to energy consumption anomalies.

[0119] S5. Generate an energy consumption scheduling plan based on a multi-objective optimization algorithm, wherein the algorithm adopts a reference point adaptive mechanism. The objective function of the multi-objective optimization algorithm is:

[0120]

[0121] Constraints include production cycle requirements, equipment start and stop time windows, and energy supply limits.

[0122] S6. Send optimization instructions to the PLC system to achieve dynamic energy consumption adjustment. The optimization instructions are transmitted to the PLC system through the OPCUA protocol to adjust the operating parameters of the equipment, such as motor speed, heating temperature, pump flow, etc., to achieve dynamic optimization control of energy consumption.

[0123] Example 3:

[0124] This embodiment provides a specific implementation plan of a smart factory dynamic optimization management system and method based on digital twin and big data analysis in an electronic equipment manufacturing plant, including:

[0125] Data collection and preprocessing:

[0126] First, multi-source data acquisition equipment was deployed. Smart meters that met industrial standards were installed on key equipment in each production workshop. These meters collect detailed data such as active power, reactive power, apparent power, and energy consumption in real time, supporting multiple communication protocols for easy data transmission. Furthermore, vibration sensors were installed at key locations on the equipment. MEMS vibration sensors, with a sensitivity of up to 100mV / g and a measurement range of ±5g, effectively capture vibration during operation, reflecting the equipment's operational status and potential faults. The edge computing gateway, an industrial-grade device equipped with a high-performance multi-core processor, communicates with various devices via the fieldbus. Data is collected in real time according to a set sampling period (every 5 seconds). The gateway then pre-processes the raw data using a wavelet threshold denoising algorithm to remove noise and improve data quality. The processed data is then transmitted to the data center via an encrypted industrial Ethernet channel.

[0127] Digital twin model construction:

[0128] Based on the collected data and the actual physical layout, process flow and other information of the factory, the twin units at each level in the digital twin modeling device are constructed.

[0129] In the equipment-level twin unit, for core equipment such as CNC machine tools, detailed energy consumption characteristic equations are constructed based on their mechanical transmission principles, electrical control system characteristics, and heat conduction mechanisms. For example, considering the impact of cutting force, spindle speed, and feed rate on energy consumption during tool cutting, the following energy consumption model is established:

[0130] E CNC (t) = k1·F c (t)·v(t)+k2·n(t) 3 +k3·ΔT(t)+E idle (t);

[0131] Where, ECNC (t) is the energy consumption of the CNC machine tool at time t, F c (t) is the cutting force, v(t) is the feed rate, n(t) is the spindle speed, ΔT(t) is the temperature change of the equipment caused by processing (data is obtained by installing temperature sensors at the key heat dissipation parts of the equipment), k1, k2, k3 are coefficients determined by experiments and theoretical analysis, E idle (t) is the basic energy consumption when the device is in standby mode.

[0132] For placement machines, an energy consumption model is constructed by considering factors such as the action frequency of the suction nozzle picking up components, the movement stroke, and the power of the vacuum pump, so as to accurately simulate the energy consumption characteristics of each device.

[0133] In the process-level twin unit, the energy consumption coupling relationship between screen printing, SMT, and reflow soldering processes in the circuit board assembly process is analyzed. For example, the ink thickness and printing speed of the screen printing process will affect the accuracy of component placement in the subsequent SMT process, which in turn affects the operating time and energy consumption of the SMT machine. The coupling coefficient between these processes is determined through regression analysis of large amounts of production data. Using the partial least squares (PLS) method, a correlation model is constructed between the energy consumption of each process to accurately characterize the degree of mutual influence of energy consumption in different process links.

[0134] In the system-level twin unit, the entire factory's power supply system, gas supply system, water supply system and other energy supply networks, as well as various production workshops and warehouses, are used as nodes, and energy transmission pipelines and lines are used as edges to construct a complex directed weighted energy flow network diagram. The energy conversion efficiency and transmission loss coefficient of each energy conversion equipment are marked in the diagram to comprehensively present the distribution, circulation and consumption of energy in the entire factory.

[0135] Data analysis and energy consumption forecasting:

[0136] The data analysis module conducts in-depth mining of historical data stored in the distributed data warehouse. The energy consumption feature extraction unit calculates the energy efficiency entropy (EES) of different devices. For example, it finds that the EES value of a batch of older test equipment is low, indicating that its energy consumption distribution is concentrated under a few specific operating conditions, indicating that there is significant room for energy efficiency optimization. When calculating the process energy consumption coupling (PEC), it is found that the PEC value between the wave soldering process and the subsequent cleaning process is high, indicating that adjusting the wave soldering process parameters will significantly affect the energy consumption of the cleaning process, and it is necessary to focus on the coordinated optimization of these two process links.

[0137] The prediction model training unit uses an LSTM network integrated with an attention mechanism to build an energy consumption prediction model. Within the attention mechanism, a multi-head attention mechanism is implemented to enhance focus on different feature dimensions. The model is trained using extensive historical data, with root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) used as evaluation metrics. Model parameters are continuously optimized to ensure that the model can accurately predict energy consumption across equipment and process steps even in the face of complex production conditions.

[0138] Abnormal diagnosis and dynamic optimization:

[0139] When the deviation between actual energy consumption and the energy consumption predicted by the digital twin model exceeds a set threshold of 8%, the anomaly diagnosis process is initiated. For example, during one production run, the actual energy consumption of a particular production line was found to be significantly higher than predicted. The Bayesian network inference module in the anomaly diagnosis module quickly intervened. This Bayesian network is constructed based on the factory's long-term accumulated historical data, including equipment failure records, process parameter anomalies, and changes in environmental factors. It incorporates numerous node variables, such as the degree of wear on key equipment components, the fluctuation range of process parameters, and the workshop humidity and temperature. By updating the network parameters in real time and using variational Bayesian inference methods to calculate the contribution of each factor to the energy consumption anomaly, the team determined that the recent increase in workshop humidity had caused the insulation performance of some electrical equipment to deteriorate, resulting in leakage, which in turn led to increased energy consumption. This factor contributed approximately 40% to the anomaly, making it the root cause.

[0140] Subsequently, the dynamic optimization decision module constructs a multi-objective optimization function that includes total energy consumption, energy costs, and comprehensive equipment performance, based on current energy consumption anomalies, production plans, equipment status, and other factors. It sets constraints such as the production cycle requirements for each production process, the minimum continuous operating time of the equipment, and the minimum downtime of the equipment. It then uses an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm (introducing adaptive inertia weights and a dynamic shrinkage factor mechanism) to solve the Pareto optimal solution set and generate an energy consumption scheduling strategy tailored to the current situation. For example, it adjusts the operating order of some equipment, appropriately reduces the operating power of some non-critical process equipment, and increases the operating time of equipment that controls ambient humidity.

[0141] Finally, optimization instructions are accurately sent to the corresponding PLC control system through the OPC UA secure communication protocol. The PLC system accurately adjusts the operating parameters of each device based on the instructions, such as the spindle speed of the CNC machine tool, the placement speed of the placement machine, and the dehumidification power of the air conditioning system, thereby achieving dynamic optimization and adjustment of the energy consumption of the entire factory.
