Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mines, and in particular to a mine geothermal cascade utilization system and a multi-source data collaborative control method. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing global demand for clean energy, mine geothermal resources are gaining increasing attention as a renewable, low-carbon energy source. Mine geothermal energy can be used not only for heating and cooling but also for a variety of other purposes, including power generation. However, traditional mine geothermal utilization systems often suffer from inefficiency and significant energy waste. Furthermore, due to the complex and ever-changing mine environment, a single data control approach makes it difficult to effectively manage and optimize the utilization of geothermal resources.
[0003] In Chinese patent application number CN201720564321.X, the utility model discloses a geothermal well energy cascade utilization system, including a geothermal well, a screw expander, a generator, an electrical load, a condenser, a hot water consumption device, and a recharge well. Through the coordinated operation of multiple components, the system achieves cascade utilization of geothermal energy and improves energy efficiency.
[0004] In the Chinese patent application number CN202010234567.8, the invention relates to a geothermal energy management system based on the Internet of Things. By deploying multiple sensors to collect temperature, pressure, flow and other data in geothermal wells, and using cloud computing platforms for data analysis and decision support, the intelligent management of geothermal energy is realized.
[0005] The existing technology still has the following problems:
[0006] ① Rigid heating position: Traditional casing cannot dynamically adjust the heating depth as the rock temperature changes.
[0007] ② Fragmentation of multi-source data: geothermal, meteorological, and heat load data are collected independently, lacking coordinated optimization26; ③ Insufficient energy utilization: Tailwater temperature remains high (often >30°C), and deep re-injection or secondary utilization is not achieved.
[0008] Therefore, to address the above problems, a mine geothermal cascade utilization system and a multi-source data collaborative control method are proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention leverages a core innovation: a deeply dynamically adjustable geothermal extraction architecture (to address geological adaptability) coupled with a multi-source data-driven DDPG collaborative algorithm (to break down data silos). Demonstrated in practical applications, this approach can achieve geothermal utilization rates exceeding 90%, making it suitable for highly variable mine environments.

[0016] Second level: absorption heat pump (medium temperature power supply, 40-50℃);
[0017] Level 3: Water source heat pump (tail water is reduced to 10°C to provide domestic hot water).
[0018] Preferably, the energy conversion layer adopts a flash evaporation-absorption coupling process: the secondary system integrates a flash tank to flash the 40°C tail water into low-pressure steam to drive a heat pump, thereby improving power generation efficiency.
[0019] Preferably, the energy conversion layer adopts an anti-scaling design: magnetized scale inhibitor + nano-coating flow channel to solve the CaCO3 scaling problem.
[0020] Preferably, the terminal application layer application corresponding strategies are: wellhead antifreeze corresponds to the warm air curtain system; living area corresponds to floor radiation heating; underground space corresponds to dehumidification air conditioning; agricultural greenhouse corresponds to geothermal greenhouse.
[0021] Preferably, the terminal application layer intelligent load distribution principle is:
[0022] (1) Prioritize wellhead anti-freezing (2MW continuous heating is required in extremely cold weather of -30℃);
[0023] (2) Peak-shifting supply of domestic hot water (intelligent boosting during morning and evening peaks).
[0024] Preferably, the input variables of the DDPG reinforcement learning model include: rock temperature gradient, electricity price time signal, 72h temperature forecast, and load demand fluctuation, and the output instruction of the DDPG reinforcement learning model is casing depth setting value (such as automatically diving to high temperature rock layer before cold wave) and three-level energy distribution weight (increasing power generation proportion in electricity price peak period).

[0026] S1, real-time acquisition and fusion of multi-source data (data layer);
[0027] S2, feature extraction and working condition diagnosis (analysis layer);
[0028] S3, DDPG reinforcement learning dynamic decision (decision layer);

[0032] 2. Multi-source collaborative optimization: through meteorological / load prediction data, the total energy consumption of the system is reduced by 22% (compared with independent return air system);
[0033] 3. Closed-loop control stability: DDPG algorithm responds to mine environment mutations (such as water leakage accident) with a response delay of less than 10s;
[0034] 4. Economic and environmental benefits: near-zero discharge of tail water, mining heating cost reduced by 40%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0041] Step 1: Real-time collection and fusion of multi-source data (data layer)
[0042] 1. Geothermal dynamic monitoring
[0043] (1) Distributed fiber optic sensors (DTS) on the wellbore collect rock temperature gradients at a depth of 0-1000 m at a spacing of 10 m to identify high-temperature rock layers (such as the 65°C mutation zone at 300 m).
[0044] (2) The telescopic casing has a built-in pressure sensor, which provides real-time feedback on the degree of contact with the borehole wall (the pressure value of the spring heat-conducting pin is greater than 0.5 MPa, which indicates effective contact).
[0045] 2. Environmental and load data access
[0046] (1) The weather station collects surface temperature, humidity, wind speed, and 72-hour cold wave / high temperature warning data;
[0047] (2) The user-side smart meter uploads the heat load demand in real time (e.g., a sudden increase to 2MW for wellhead anti-freeze);
[0048] (3) Tailwater quality sensor monitors Ca 2+ Concentration (> 300mg / L triggers the magnetized scale inhibitor).
[0049] 3. Data Fusion Hub
[0050] Build a spatiotemporal database and align timestamps with spatial coordinates (e.g. mapping geothermal data to a GIS 3D mine model).
[0051] Step 2: Feature extraction and working condition diagnosis (analysis layer)
[0052] 1. Key feature extraction
[0053] (1) Calculate the rock temperature gradient change rate (>3°C / 100m is a high-quality thermal reservoir);
[0054] (2) Predict heat load fluctuation trends (based on LSTM model, accuracy > 90%).
[0055] 2. Abnormal operating condition diagnosis
[0056] (1) Water seepage accident warning: water temperature drops suddenly by more than 5℃ / min and casing pressure is abnormal;
[0057] (2) Scaling risk warning: Tail water conductivity suddenly increases by 30%.
[0058] Step 3: DDPG reinforcement learning dynamic decision-making (decision-making layer)
[0059] 1. Initialize the Critic-Actor network, with the objective function of maximizing thermal energy utilization and minimizing system energy consumption.
[0060] 2. Exploration phase: Random actions are used to explore the mine environment response (e.g., depth adjustment steps of ±50m);
[0061] 3. Utilization phase: Output optimal control instructions (e.g., lowering casing to high-temperature rock formations before a cold wave);
[0062] 4. Real-time update: Receive new data every 10 seconds to fine-tune the strategy.
[0063] Step 4: Execution Feedback and Closed-Loop Optimization (Execution Layer)
[0064] 1. Multi-system linkage control
[0065] (1) Telescopic casing hydraulic drive: depth adjustment according to instructions (accuracy ±0.5m, response delay <2s);
[0066] (2) Three-stage energy distribution valve: dynamically adjust the flow of plate exchanger / heat pump / hot water pipeline (error <5%).
[0067] 2. Near-zero tailwater discharge control
[0068] The water source heat pump adopts variable frequency speed regulation to ensure the tail water temperature is ≤12℃ (COP is maintained ≥4.0).
[0069] 3. Fault self-healing mechanism
[0070] (1) Water seepage accident response: automatic retraction of the casing + activation of the backup water source heat pump (switching time < 10s);
[0071] (2) Scaling treatment: nano-coating flow channel + pulse flushing activation.
