TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of industrial automation control and process control, and particularly relates to a dynamic quantitative feeding control system and method based on real-time working condition feedback of a reaction kettle. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of hydrogen energy industry, hydrogen production equipment, hydrogen fuel cell systems and hydrogen refueling stations are increasingly widely used in the fields of industry, transportation and energy storage. Hydrogen production and reaction processes generally involve high pressure, high temperature and complex catalytic reaction systems. One of the core equipment, the reaction kettle, plays a key role in the synthesis of hydrogen production materials, the preparation of hydrogen storage media and the production of electrode active materials. However, in the hydrogen production reaction process, the reaction heat release intensity is large, the heat conduction coupling is complex, and the feeding rate directly affects the reaction stability and hydrogen production efficiency. Traditional feeding control methods mostly use fixed rate or proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, which cannot dynamically adjust according to the real-time working condition of the reaction kettle, leading to overshoot, lag or fluctuation of temperature and pressure, and thus affecting product purity and equipment safety.
[0003] At present, some enterprises have introduced intelligent sensing and data monitoring means in the process of hydrogen energy system integration and hydrogen production equipment manufacturing, but the working condition modeling still stays at the static control level, which is difficult to accurately capture the nonlinear characteristics of the reaction system under different loads and thermal states. Especially in the catalytic hydrogenation and high-temperature decomposition hydrogen production link, the raw material conversion rate and heat release characteristics change significantly over time, and traditional models cannot make forward-looking predictions and adaptive adjustments for such dynamic processes. Existing safety interlocking mechanisms are usually based on threshold judgment, with a lagging response and no intelligent discrimination ability, which is prone to imbalance between false positives and false negatives, affecting the continuity and reliability of hydrogen production equipment.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a dynamic quantitative feeding control system and method based on real-time working condition feedback of a reaction kettle is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

[0124] A physical feature construction module is used to calculate reaction heat release intensity, energy residual and material residual based on the working condition input data set to form a physical feature vector;

[0128] a trust control module configured to issue the optimal feeding waveform, construct a trust propagation graph, calculate a comprehensive trust score and perform gate control, and trigger a safety interlock when the score is lower than a threshold.
[0129] Example 1: In order to verify the feasibility of the present application in implementation, the present application is applied to a liquid organic hydrogen storage material preparation system of a certain hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing enterprise. The effective volume of the reaction kettle of the system is 2.5 m³, which is used for catalytic hydrogenation reaction, and mainly generates hydrogen energy carrier material (LOHC). The process has typical strong exothermic characteristics, and the feeding rate and heat management requirements are extremely high. The traditional PID control system often leads to temperature overshoot, pressure lag and uneven heat release due to the inability to respond to the change in reaction rate in time, which reduces the hydrogen production efficiency, and even triggers the safety interlock shutdown, affecting the continuous operation of the production line.
[0130] In the hydrogen production system, the dynamic quantitative feeding control method proposed by the present application is adopted, and the system configuration includes a data acquisition module, a physical characteristic construction module, a modeling prediction module, a safety constraint construction module, a waveform optimization module and a trust control module. The reaction kettle is collected in real time through six types of sensors such as temperature, pressure, liquid level, flow, stirring speed, etc., and the sampling frequency is 1 Hz. The multi-dimensional signals collected are subjected to data denoising and time synchronization by the pre-processing module to form a standardized operating condition input data set. Then, the physical characteristic construction module calculates the reaction heat release intensity, energy balance residual and material balance residual according to the energy conservation and mass conservation relationship, adds them to the input data set, and constructs the physical characteristic vector of the reaction kettle.
[0131] In the modeling stage, the system adopts an improved echo state network model to realize multi-time scale prediction through the collaborative modeling of fast reservoir pool, slow reservoir pool and cross-layer dynamic memory migration unit. The model can dynamically adjust the memory weight according to the energy balance error, thereby enhancing the prediction accuracy under nonlinear time-varying conditions. Experimental results show that the prediction error of the model for temperature and pressure in the next 30 seconds is controlled within ±1.2℃ and ±0.013 MPa, respectively, which is about 65% higher in accuracy than the traditional neural network.
[0132] Subsequently, the safety constraint modeling module automatically sets the upper limit of temperature 320℃, the upper limit of pressure 0.65MPa and the threshold of change rate according to the prediction results and the equipment design limits, and generates a safety constraint set. The waveform optimization module adopts a multi-objective self-evolution waveform generation mechanism to generate multiple candidate feeding waveform schemes, and performs evolution optimization through shape variation, constraint correction and smoothness reservation operators. The system performs forward-looking evaluation and cost calculation on each candidate waveform, and finally selects the feeding waveform with the minimum comprehensive cost and meeting the safety constraints as the control instruction.
[0133] In the execution phase, the control system transmits the optimal waveform signal to the variable frequency pump to realize continuous and gradual dynamic quantitative feeding. At the same time, the trust control module establishes a trust propagation graph of the cognitive decision layer, the sensor layer and the actuator layer, monitors the node signal consistency and delay, and calculates the comprehensive trust score. When the score drops below the threshold due to signal drift or sudden changes in working conditions, the system immediately performs gate control to reduce the feeding rate or temporarily stop operation, and starts the safety interlocking mechanism. Through feedback data, the model automatically updates parameters to realize self-learning and closed-loop optimization.
[0134] In a 72-hour continuous running pilot test, the system completed 6 complete reaction batches. Compared with the traditional PID control results, the method significantly improves the stability of temperature and pressure control.
[0135] Table 1 Comparison of dynamic quantitative feeding control performance of reaction kettle
[0136]
[0137] As can be seen from Table 1, the dynamic quantitative feeding control performance of the method in the hydrogen energy preparation reaction system is significantly better than that of the traditional PID control method. In terms of temperature and pressure control, the method achieves higher process stability. The average reaction temperature is 316.5℃, which is basically the same as 316.2℃ under traditional PID control, but the temperature fluctuation amplitude is significantly reduced from ±6.1℃ to ±2.5℃, a decrease of 59%. At the same time, the pressure fluctuation amplitude is reduced from ±0.10MPa to ±0.05MPa, a decrease of 50%. This shows that the improved echo state network model of the application can effectively predict the reaction thermodynamic changes and adjust the feeding strategy in advance, thereby avoiding the overshoot phenomenon of temperature and pressure, and improving the thermal stability and safety of the reaction system.
[0138] From the production efficiency and energy efficiency performance, the method of the present application realizes higher reaction rate and energy utilization rate without increasing energy consumption. The average feeding rate is increased from 4.2 kg / min to 4.3 kg / min, the total feeding time is shortened from 51 minutes to 46 minutes, and the overall process efficiency is increased by about 10%. The energy utilization rate is increased from 83.4% to 87.8%, indicating that the system can maintain high heat recovery and transfer efficiency during dynamic feeding adjustment. In terms of model prediction accuracy, the temperature prediction error is reduced from ±3.4℃ to ±1.2℃, and the pressure prediction error is reduced from ±0.038MPa to ±0.013MPa, which is increased by 65% and 66% respectively, verifying the high-precision modeling capability of the improved echo state network under multi-time scale dynamic working conditions.
[0139] Finally, in terms of safety and intelligent control, the method of the present application shows significant robustness and adaptability. The traditional PID control system triggers the safety interlock 2.1 times on average in batch operation, while the method of the present application does not trigger false alarm in all batches, fully demonstrating that the trust propagation type safety control mechanism can dynamically adjust the system response according to the node signal consistency and trust score, fundamentally reducing false positives and delays. The average trust score of the system is 93.1%, showing high level of signal consistency and decision reliability. In summary, the present application not only improves the feeding accuracy and thermal control stability of the reaction kettle in the process of hydrogen energy preparation, but also takes into account the energy efficiency, safety and intelligence level, and has wide industrial promotion and application value.
[0140] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
