Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of coal blending in thermal power plants, and particularly relates to an automatic coal blending control method and device based on real coal price calculation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, there are many common defects in the coal blending management of thermal power plants. The traditional method mainly relies on fixed blending ratio tables and historical experience to manually formulate a static coal blending scheme. However, this scheme cannot dynamically respond to real-time coal price fluctuations, boiler variable condition requirements, and changes in environmental protection constraints. In terms of cost accounting, the dimension is extremely single, only considering the fuel procurement price, but ignoring the environmental protection costs caused by desulfurization and denitrification agent consumption, as well as the maintenance costs of the heating surface wear. This leads to the situation of high-priced and low-efficiency coal being misused in actual operation, or the use of high-wear coal causing equipment life loss, greatly increasing the operating cost.

[0003] The decision-making data basis of the coal blending management of thermal power plants is very weak, and there is a lack of a combustion characteristic database covering full load and multiple air distribution modes. This makes the prediction of coal consumption rate and pollutant generation amount only rely on theoretical calculation or interpolation of a small number of conditions, and the prediction result has a large error, which is easy to exceed the standard. In the optimization link, the existing algorithms have serious shortcomings, most of which focus on single-objective optimization, and are not integrated with real-time databases, which takes too long to search for optimization and is difficult to meet the demand of rapid peak shaving of the unit. Moreover, the generated coal blending scheme needs to be transferred manually to the bucket wheel machine operation, and lacks a real-time calibration mechanism, resulting in a serious disconnection between the optimization link and the execution system.

[0004] There are significant systematic technical defects in the coal blending management of thermal power plants. The traditional static coal blending scheme cannot be dynamically adjusted according to market coal price fluctuations and boiler variable condition requirements, and it is difficult to achieve comprehensive cost optimization due to the lack of a multi-dimensional economic model integrating combustion efficiency, environmental protection cost and equipment wear. Under the conditions of environmental protection constraints (such as ultra-low emission standards) and equipment safety boundaries, the existing methods cannot accurately predict the actual pollutant generation amount and wear risk of different coal blending schemes, and the coordination between optimization decision and execution equipment is broken, resulting in a significant deviation between the theoretical scheme and the field execution. This series of problems ultimately leads to the dilemma of rising operating costs, increasing environmental protection compliance risks and declining equipment reliability. Therefore, the technical problems to be solved are: to build a coal blending scheme that can dynamically adapt to market coal price fluctuations and boiler variable condition requirements, and integrates a multi-dimensional economic model to achieve comprehensive cost optimization; to establish a mechanism for accurately predicting the pollutant generation amount and wear risk of different coal blending schemes; to open up the coordination channel between optimization decision and execution equipment to ensure that the theoretical scheme is highly consistent with the field execution, thereby reducing operating costs, avoiding environmental protection compliance risks, and improving equipment reliability.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0050] Figure 1 The flowchart of the automatic coal blending control method based on real coal price calculation of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] The present application constructs an intelligent coal blending decision and execution system integrating boiler operation characteristics, fuel cost, environmental protection expenditure and equipment maintenance loss, provides an automatic coal blending control method based on real coal price calculation, which comprises the following steps:

[0053] (1) Economic parameter calculation and database establishment based on combustion adjustment experiment: basic data are obtained through systematic combustion experiment, and a coal quality cost database integrating multiple economic parameters is established;

[0054] (2) Database optimization-based blending strategy development: The core goal of database optimization-based blending strategy development is to establish a quantitative coal blending strategy optimization model, and to solve the comprehensive cost lowest coal blending scheme under multiple constraints through intelligent algorithms;

[0055] (3) Closed-loop intelligent coal feeding control of blending strategy: Relying on the existing digital coal yard system and unmanned bucket wheel machine equipment of the power plant, a closed-loop intelligent coal feeding control system based on database and strategy rules is constructed.

[0056] Step (1) includes the following sub-steps:

[0057] S1: First, design a combustion adjustment experiment matrix covering typical boundary conditions of boiler operation: under four stable load conditions (such as 100% / 75% / 50% / 30% rated load), implement a variety of differentiated air distribution modes such as equal air distribution, beam waist air distribution, upper and lower staged air distribution, side air enhanced air distribution, etc., and carry out blending combination for more than eight basic coal types, set ≥10 groups of blending ratio, cover typical coal blending schemes such as low calorific value high volatile matter coal, high sulfur coal, high ash melting point coal, etc. During the experiment, key parameters such as furnace temperature field distribution, flue gas composition (including O2, CO, NO x , SO2 concentration) at the outlet of the economizer, air preheater exhaust gas temperature, fly ash carbon content, and slag sample of the slag extractor are collected in real time through fixed measuring points, and DCS operation data are recorded synchronously to form a complete working condition data set. The stable operation time for each working condition is not less than 2 hours, and a total of not less than 50 groups of effective experimental data sets are completed.

[0058] S2: Based on the data obtained from the experiment, the mature economic parameter quantification modeling process is used. In the economic parameter quantification modeling process, the boiler thermal efficiency is calculated strictly in accordance with the relevant standards, and the actual boiler thermal efficiency η is calculated by using the counterbalance method: the exhaust gas temperature and the excess air coefficient are used to calculate the exhaust gas heat loss, the fly ash carbon content is used to calculate the solid incomplete combustion heat loss, and the CO concentration is used to calculate the gas incomplete combustion heat loss.

[0059] The coal consumption rate is directly obtained by the ratio of the measured fuel consumption to the power generation (g / kWh).

[0060] The environmental protection cost accounting focuses on the desulfurization and denitrification links: the desulfurization cost is calculated according to the measured SO2 concentration and the flue gas flow, combined with the design parameters of the desulfurization system (calcium-sulfur ratio, desulfurization efficiency, power consumption, etc.) to calculate the limestone consumption and its procurement unit price; the denitrification cost is based on the inlet NO x concentration, flue gas flow, and SCR system ammonia escape rate to derive the liquid ammonia / urea consumption and relate to the market price.

[0061] The heat surface wear cost innovation adopts the equivalent conversion model: according to the coal quality grinding index (HGI) and the flue gas velocity field simulation, the metal wear rate of the heat surface is calculated, the material and labor prices are comprehensively considered, and the unit area heat exchange pipe maintenance cost is converted into the equivalent degree electric cost.

[0062] S3: A dynamic coal quality cost database is constructed, and three types of core information are stored by using a hierarchical data structure: the basic layer records the experimental raw data, including: working condition number, load, air distribution mode, coal blending ratio, real-time operating parameters; the calculation layer stores the output results of the thermal model, including: actual boiler thermal efficiency η, coal consumption rate g, environmental protection cost matrix, wear cost coefficient; the economic layer integrates the real-time coal price data input from the outside. Considering the real-time coal price, boiler efficiency, coal consumption rate, environmental protection cost and heat surface wear and other factors, a real coal price calculation model is established and stored in the database.

[0063] Intelligent association rules are set in the database: when a new coal blending scheme and target load are input, the system automatically retrieves the matching working condition or outputs the corresponding economic parameter package through the interpolation algorithm to form a coal blending scheme cost panoramic view. The database supports API interface and real-time interaction with power plant SIS system and fuel management system to ensure dynamic updating of price data and coal quality characteristics, providing data-driven basis for subsequent optimization models. During operation, the database supports self-optimization sub-update function.

[0064] Step (2) includes the following sub-steps:

[0065] S1: A coal blending strategy optimization model is constructed with the minimum unit kilowatt-hour power supply comprehensive cost as the target, and the objective function is defined as:

[0066]

[0067] In the formula, C T represents the comprehensive coal price, unit yuan / kWh; n represents the total number of coal species participating in blending; ρ i represents the blending ratio of the i-th coal, (0<ρ i <1, and ); P i represents the real-time factory price (including freight) of the i-th coal; g represents the coal consumption rate under this working condition, which is fed back by the database according to the input blending ratio, unit g / kWh; C S and C N represent desulfurization cost and denitration cost, respectively; C W represents wear cost.

[0068] The desulfurization cost C S is calculated as follows:

[0069] C S = Q y·[SO2]·η1·M1 / P (2)

[0070] In the formula, Q y is the flue gas flow; [SO2] is the SO2 concentration, η1 is the desulfurization system efficiency; M1 is the total cost of desulfurization limestone used; and P is the power generation capacity.

[0071] The desulfurization cost C N is calculated as follows:

[0072] C N = Q y ·[NO x ]·η2·M2 / P (3)

[0073] In the formula, [NO x ] is the NO x concentration, η2 is the denitration system efficiency; and M2 is the total cost of denitration ammonia or urea used.

[0074] The wear cost C N is calculated as follows:

[0075]

[0076] In the formula, HGI is the coal quality grinding index of the mixed coal; and k, a, and b are empirical parameters.

[0077] S2: Set multiple physical constraint boundaries:

[0078] (1) The load constraint is forced to meet the scheduling demand;

[0079] (2) The environmental protection constraint limits NO x ≤ 50 mg / Nm 3 , SO2≤ 35 mg / Nm 3 , in accordance with the national ultra-low emission standard;

[0080] (3) The use amount of each coal does not exceed the upper limit of the coal yard inventory.

[0081] A mixed intelligent optimization algorithm is developed. A constraint processing mechanism is introduced based on a particle swarm optimization (PSO) framework. In the case of meeting all constraint conditions, an optimization algorithm is used based on a dynamic coal quality cost database to obtain an optimal coal blending scheme. A visual decision platform is constructed. After the target load, coal price list, inventory threshold, and other parameters are input by the operating personnel, the coal blending strategy optimization model automatically outputs the optimal coal blending scheme. After the coal blending scheme is obtained, it can be weighted according to the properties of the coal, related national and industry standards are calculated to obtain key parameter prediction results, including coal consumption rate prediction, NO x trend generation, wear risk level, and the formation of a quantifiable and verifiable coal blending decision verification, which provides a basis for closed-loop control.

[0082] Step (3) includes the following sub-steps:

[0083] S1: When the unit is operated to a specific load condition, the system automatically retrieves the historical optimal blending strategy data in the dynamic coal quality cost database of the load point, combines the blending priority rules preset according to the actual needs of the user, and generates a precise coal blending scheme in real time. The scheme is directly issued to the fuel management system in the form of structured instructions through a standard interface, and the core instructions include target blending ratio, required coal type area, and corresponding total fuel amount.

[0084] S2: The digital coal yard three-dimensional map automatically analyzes the coal type demand in the coal blending scheme, matches the current position of the bucket wheel machine with the target coal pile coordinates to generate an optimal material taking path. After receiving the path instructions, the unattended bucket wheel machine moves to the specified coal area through the built-in positioning module, and the adaptive material taking model converts the coal blending ratio into equipment operation parameters. The system pre-sets the material taking roller speed and pitch angle based on the characteristics of the coal pile to ensure that the unit time coal taking amount meets the subsequent proportional blending requirements.

[0085] S3: The coal blending execution is realized through precise timing control. The system directly converts the coal blending ratio into a running time allocation scheme of each coal type on the coal conveying belt. The closed-loop calibration is completed based on database prediction and real-time metering. The system continuously compares the deviation of the actual blending ratio from the target value, and dynamically adjusts the running time allocation of the subsequent period when the predicted value of the key parameter exceeds the threshold or the metering deviation exceeds the limit. All execution data are automatically archived to the historical strategy library, and are analyzed in association with the actual combustion performance of the unit to continuously optimize the decision accuracy of the strategy rule library. Finally, a full-process autonomous operation mechanism is formed, including load condition triggering, strategy automatic generation, equipment direct execution, and data feedback optimization.

[0086] In summary, the present application improves the economy, environmental protection and reliability of coal blending in thermal power plants by constructing a technical system of "combustion characteristic database-multi-dimensional cost model-intelligent optimization algorithm-automatic execution closed loop". The dynamic coal quality cost database established based on full-condition combustion experiments first realizes the fusion and quantification of boiler thermal efficiency, coal consumption rate, desulfurization and denitrification agent consumption cost, and equivalent cost of heating surface wear, providing accurate data basis for comprehensive cost optimization; the intelligent optimization algorithm dynamically generates a coal blending scheme under multiple constraint boundaries, simultaneously predicts the pollutant emission trend and equipment wear risk, and ensures that the scheme meets the ultra-low emission standard and equipment safety threshold at the same time; relying on the millisecond-level instruction execution closed loop established based on the digital coal yard and unmanned bucket wheel machine, the manual operation deviation is completely eliminated, seamless cooperation from optimization decision to precise coal feeding is realized, and finally the paradigm shift from experience-driven to data-intelligent-driven in coal management is achieved.

[0087] Example 1

[0088] The flowchart of the method of the present application is as followsFigure 1 Systematic combustion experiments were carried out in a 600 MW supercritical unit, covering four load conditions of 100%, 75%, 50%, 30% and three modes of equal distribution, beam-waist distribution and upper-lower staged distribution. Eight typical coal types were selected, including high-sulfur Shanxi coal, high-volatile Mongolian coal and low-calorific value Indonesian coal, etc. Combustion was carried out in combination with the preset ten groups of blending ratio. Each group of working condition was stably operated for two hours, the combustion state was monitored in real time by the furnace temperature field scanner, the SO2, NO x concentration of flue gas analyzer was synchronously collected at the outlet of economizer, the carbon content of fly ash was tested by sampling, and the fuel consumption and power generation of DCS system were recorded. After 52 groups of effective experiments were completed, the original data were stored in the database basic layer to provide multi-dimensional combustion characteristic atlas for subsequent modeling.

[0089] Based on the experimental data, a multi-dimensional economic calculation process was started. Taking the "50% Mongolian coal + 50% Indonesian coal" scheme under 75% load as an example: the actual thermal efficiency was calculated to be 92.1% by using the counterbalance method, and the coal consumption rate was derived to be 285 g / kWh; according to the measured SO2 concentration of 320 mg / Nm 3 and the calcium-sulfur ratio of 1.03 in the desulfurization system, the limestone consumption per hour was calculated to be 42.3 tons, and the desulfurization cost was converted to be 0.015 yuan / kWh combined with the market unit price; the wear equivalent model was innovatively introduced, by substituting the coal quality grinding index HGI = 58 and the flue gas velocity 12 m / s into the calibration formula C v , the wear cost was obtained to be 0.008 yuan / kWh. The above parameters are automatically associated with real-time updated coal price data (such as Mongolian coal 650 yuan / ton, Indonesian coal 580 yuan / ton), forming a dynamic database containing four-dimensional tags of thermal efficiency, coal consumption rate, environmental protection cost and wear cost.

[0090] When the unit switches to 75% load operation, the system calls the multi-dimensional cost model to start the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The objective function is set to minimize the unit power comprehensive cost C T , and the constraint conditions include the emission limit value of NO x ≤ 50 mg / Nm 3 and the upper limit of each coal inventory. The algorithm completes multiple iterations in ten seconds, and outputs the optimal coal blending scheme as "Mongolian coal 63% + Indonesian coal 37%". The prediction shows that the comprehensive cost is reduced to 0.213 yuan / kWh, the NO x concentration is 42 mg / Nm 3 , which is in the safe interval, and the wear risk level is evaluated as medium risk. The scheme automatically generates an instruction document through the visual decision platform, including the target ratio, cost composition and risk warning parameters.
