Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial automation and fault prediction technology, and in particular to an intelligent operation optimization and fault handling method for hydraulic power units. Background Technology

[0002] In the energy and power sector, thermal power generation serves as a core pillar for ensuring stable grid operation and the absorption of new energy sources. The reliability and response speed of its equipment are crucial to regional energy security. Especially in energy bases like Xinjiang, thermal power plants frequently need to respond to grid load fluctuations and ensure rapid peak shaving to support the grid connection needs of new energy sources such as wind and solar power. However, the performance of key components in existing thermal power equipment, such as the hydraulic system of the coal mill, directly affects boiler combustion efficiency and unit load regulation capabilities, necessitating urgent technological upgrades. Improving the stability and rapid response capabilities of hydraulic systems in complex environments has become key to ensuring the reliable operation of the power grid.

[0003] Existing hydraulic systems for coal mills generally suffer from complex design and difficult maintenance. Traditional systems rely on multiple sets of valves and complex pipelines, resulting in numerous interfaces and a high susceptibility to leaks in high-temperature, high-dust environments. For example, the excessive number of pipeline interfaces in hydraulic stations accelerates the aging of seals under extreme climates, and frequent leaks increase maintenance costs and downtime risks. Furthermore, the system's response speed is insufficient, making it difficult to meet the requirements of rapid peak shaving by the power grid. Especially during rapid load changes, lag in pressure regulation leads to unstable output, affecting boiler combustion efficiency. These problems are particularly pronounced in the arid and dusty environment of Xinjiang, limiting the operating efficiency of thermal power plants.

[0004] The core technical challenges of hydraulic systems lie in the reliability of the power unit and the precision of pressure regulation. First, existing single-pump configurations lack a backup mechanism; if a pump or motor fails, the system will immediately shut down, preventing the coal mill from operating normally. For example, in actual operation, overheating of the single-pump motor bearings can cause a sudden drop in the output of the pulverizing system, forcing the unit load to decrease from 150 MW to 100 MW, affecting grid stability. Second, the response speed and synchronization of pressure regulation are insufficient. Traditional valve group designs are complex, with excessively long signal response times, making it difficult to achieve rapid and precise pressure control. Especially under high-load conditions with frequent start-stop cycles, asynchronous cylinder movements cause uneven pressure on the grinding rollers, further exacerbating deviations in coal powder fineness.

[0005] Furthermore, the filtration mechanism of the hydraulic system also faces challenges. Traditional filters are prone to causing brief interruptions in the oil circuit during switching, leading to pressure fluctuations and affecting the stable operation of the grinding rollers. For example, in high-dust environments, filter element clogging is frequent, and if the oil flow is discontinuous during switching, it may cause pressure imbalance between the grinding rollers and the grinding disc, thereby affecting the quality of pulverized coal and increasing the instability of boiler combustion. This dual deficiency in power reliability and pressure regulation precision further amplifies the operational risks of the system under extreme conditions.

[0006] Therefore, ensuring the continuous operation and pressure stability of the hydraulic system in frequent peak shaving and harsh environments has become a key issue in improving the deep-shaving capability and operational reliability of thermal power plants. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the above-mentioned defects in the prior art. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to improve the operational reliability of the hydraulic power unit, the pressure regulation response speed and the continuity of the filtration system under complex working conditions such as high dust and high load, so as to effectively reduce the system failure rate and operational risks.

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an intelligent operation optimization and fault handling method for hydraulic power units, mainly comprising the following steps: Real-time pressure and flow data are collected from the hydraulic power unit through a sensor network. The pressure and flow data are then classified using a support vector machine algorithm to obtain the classification result of the current operating status of the hydraulic power unit. Based on the current operating status classification result, the activation conditions of the standby pump group are obtained. If the current operating status classification result shows a single pump failure, the standby pump group is activated to switch to dual pump parallel mode, and it is determined that the power redundancy configuration of the hydraulic power unit has been enabled. By using the enabled power redundancy configuration, synchronization signal data is collected for the pressure regulating valve group, and a neural network algorithm is used to predict the synchronization signal data to obtain the expected response time series of pressure regulation. Based on the expected response time sequence, the continuity of the oil circuit during the filter switching process is determined. If the expected response time sequence exceeds a preset threshold, the opening parameter of the filter switching valve is adjusted to obtain the optimized filtration mechanism result with minimal oil circuit interruption. Based on the optimization results of the filtration mechanism, real-time monitoring of filter clogging data in high-dust environments is performed. The support vector machine algorithm is used to detect anomalies in the filter clogging data and obtain the predicted deviation value of pressure fluctuation. Based on the predicted deviation value, the overall control parameters of the hydraulic power unit are adjusted. If the predicted deviation value is lower than a preset threshold, the current configuration is maintained; otherwise, the power redundancy and the filtering mechanism are iteratively optimized until the operational risk is reduced to an acceptable level.

[0009] Beneficial effects of the present invention The present invention discloses an intelligent operation optimization and fault handling method for hydraulic power units, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. Intelligent fault diagnosis and redundancy switching: The system uses a support vector machine algorithm to accurately and quickly classify and identify the operating status of the hydraulic power unit. When a single pump fails, the backup pump group can be activated immediately, achieving a seamless switch to the dual-pump parallel mode, which greatly improves the power reliability and continuity of the system.

[0010] 2. Precise pressure regulation prediction: The neural network algorithm is used to predict the synchronization signal of the pressure regulating valve group, generating a high-precision expected response time series, which provides a reliable data foundation for subsequent oil circuit continuity judgment and valve control, effectively improving the response speed and synchronization of pressure regulation.

[0011] 3. Minimize oil circuit interruption: By analyzing the expected response time series, the opening of the filter switching valve is dynamically adjusted, the filter switching logic is optimized, the duration of oil circuit interruption is significantly reduced, and the stable operation of the system under high pressure and high dust conditions is ensured.

[0012] 4. Adaptive Optimization and Risk Control: By continuously monitoring the filter element's clogging status and calculating pressure fluctuation prediction deviations, a closed-loop control parameter iterative optimization mechanism was constructed. This mechanism can adaptively adjust power redundancy and filtration mechanisms to ensure that system operational risks are always controlled within an acceptable level, achieving intelligent operation and maintenance.

[0013] 5. Comprehensive improvement of system performance: This invention integrates fault handling, operation optimization and risk prediction, systematically solves several key technical problems faced by hydraulic power units in complex industrial environments, and significantly improves their overall stability, reliability and service life. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] It should be noted that the terms "including" and "containing" used in this article are open-ended expressions, meaning that they include but are not limited to.

[0016] This embodiment provides an intelligent operation optimization and fault handling method for hydraulic power units, which specifically includes the following steps: Step S101: Classification of operating status Real-time pressure and flow data are collected from the hydraulic power unit via a sensor network to obtain real-time monitoring data. Data preprocessing methods (such as filtering and normalization) are used to clean the real-time monitoring data, resulting in standardized data. A support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is then used to train a classification model on the standardized data. If the output value of the classification model is greater than a preset threshold, the hydraulic power unit is determined to be in normal operation; if the output value is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined to be in an abnormal operating state, resulting in a state classification result. Based on the state classification result, time series data of the abnormal operating states are extracted to obtain an abnormal time series. Time series analysis methods (such as STL decomposition and feature extraction) are used to extract features from the abnormal time series, resulting in an abnormal feature set. A decision tree algorithm is then used to classify the abnormal feature set to accurately determine the anomaly type (such as single pump failure, valve jamming, etc.).

[0017] Step S102: Enable power redundancy configuration The system acquires sensor data from the hydraulic power unit and uses a fault detection algorithm to determine its current operating status, resulting in a status classification. If the classification indicates a single pump failure, the activation conditions for the standby pump group are immediately triggered, generating a pump group switching command. Based on the switching command, the hydraulic power unit is switched to a dual-pump parallel mode, and the mode transition is confirmed. Operating parameters (such as pressure, flow rate, and current) in the dual-pump parallel mode are acquired through a real-time monitoring module to determine if the power redundancy configuration has been successfully enabled. If the power redundancy configuration is enabled, stable operating data of the hydraulic power unit is obtained through a status feedback mechanism to confirm that the system has stabilized. Based on the system stability data, a support vector machine algorithm is used again to classify the operating status of the hydraulic power unit, yielding a classification result. Based on this classification result, the operating parameters of the dual-pump parallel mode (such as pump speed distribution) are fine-tuned, ultimately confirming the completion of the power redundancy configuration optimization for the hydraulic power unit.

[0018] Step S103: Pressure Regulation Prediction By utilizing the redundant configuration of the activated hydraulic power unit, synchronous signal data of the pressure regulating valve group is acquired. A sensor array is used to collect multi-channel pressure signals in real time, resulting in a raw signal dataset. Based on this raw dataset, data preprocessing techniques (such as wavelet denoising and Z-score normalization) are employed to denoise and normalize the signals, generating a standardized signal dataset. A convolutional neural network is used to extract deep features from the standardized signal dataset, yielding a temporal feature set. If the fluctuation amplitude of the feature value sequence exceeds a preset threshold (indicating high signal noise or interference), principal component analysis and other dimensionality reduction processing are performed on the feature set to generate an optimized feature dataset. Using the optimized feature dataset, a long short-term memory network is employed to predict the time series, obtaining the expected time series for pressure regulation. The expected time series is compared with the actual acquired response sequence. If the deviation between the predicted and actual values ​​exceeds a preset threshold, a backpropagation algorithm is used to adaptively adjust the model parameters, generating an optimized prediction model. Finally, using this optimized prediction model, precise control commands for the pressure regulating valve group are generated in real time, resulting in the final pressure regulation response sequence.

[0019] Step S104: Optimize the filtering mechanism Obtain the expected response time series of pressure regulation obtained in step S103, and use time series analysis methods (such as calculating variance and range) to determine the fluctuation characteristics of the response time series. If the fluctuation characteristics exceed a preset threshold, the degree of abnormality in oil circuit continuity is quantitatively judged by comparing the difference between the fluctuation amplitude and the preset threshold. Based on the degree of abnormality in oil circuit continuity, a linear regression algorithm is used to establish a mapping relationship between the degree of abnormality and the valve opening adjustment amount, and the optimized value of the filter switching valve opening is calculated. Using the adjusted valve opening parameters, the filter switching process is simulated in a simulation environment or actual system, and a new response time series is obtained, focusing on determining the duration of oil circuit interruption. If the duration of oil circuit interruption does not reach the minimization target (e.g., the target is less than 10 milliseconds), the valve opening parameters are iteratively adjusted, and the simulation is repeated to obtain the response time series until the degree of improvement in oil circuit continuity meets the requirements. Based on the degree of improvement, a K-means clustering algorithm is used to classify the response time series obtained from multiple iterations, and the optimal result that minimizes oil circuit interruption is selected as the optimization result of the filtering mechanism. Based on this optimization result, the control logic of the filter switching process is updated to obtain the final oil circuit continuity parameters, thereby determining the system's operational stability.

[0020] Step S105: Filter Cartridge Clogging Monitoring and Abnormal Detection Pressure fluctuation data at the inlet and outlet of the filter element in a high-dust environment is collected by pressure sensors to obtain a real-time monitoring dataset. If the pressure difference or fluctuation frequency in the real-time monitoring dataset exceeds a preset threshold, a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is used to classify the pressure fluctuation data to determine whether the filter element is clogged and the severity of the blockage. Based on the classification results of the SVM algorithm, a predicted deviation value for filter element blockage is output. This value is used to quantify the degree of deviation between the current state and the normal state, thereby determining the anomaly detection result. Through the anomaly detection result, the changing trend of pressure fluctuations (such as shorter fluctuation period and increased amplitude) is further analyzed to obtain the dynamic characteristics of filter element blockage. Based on these dynamic characteristics, the parameters of the filtration mechanism are adjusted, such as triggering the backwashing procedure in advance or adjusting the activation strategy of the standby filter, to obtain an optimized filtration configuration. The operating parameters of the oil circuit system are updated with the optimized filtration configuration, and it is observed whether the system returns to a stable oil circuit operating state. If the pressure fluctuation index still exceeds the preset threshold under a stable oil circuit operating state, data is collected again and the above process is repeated until a new and effective optimized configuration is obtained.

[0021] Step S106: System Iterative Optimization and Risk Control Real-time pressure fluctuation data of the hydraulic system is acquired, and its predicted deviation value is determined using time series analysis techniques (such as the ARIMA model). If the predicted deviation value is lower than a preset threshold, it indicates that the system is operating smoothly, and the current control parameters of the hydraulic power unit are maintained to enter a stable operating state. If the predicted deviation value is higher than the preset threshold, a support vector machine algorithm is first used to optimize the power redundancy configuration, such as dynamically adjusting the load distribution or switching strategy of the dual pumps, to determine the adjusted redundancy parameters. Based on the adjusted redundancy parameters, the control signal of the filtering mechanism is then optimized using a Kalman filter algorithm to filter out noise interference and obtain smoother, more realistic pressure fluctuation data. Key operational risk indicators (such as fluctuation variance and number of exceedances) are extracted from the smoothed pressure fluctuation data, and it is determined whether they have reached an acceptable level. If the operational risk has not reached an acceptable level, the overall control parameters of the system (including power and filtering parameters) are iteratively adjusted, and new pressure fluctuation data is acquired. Based on the new pressure fluctuation data, the above deviation judgment and optimization process is repeated to form a closed-loop control until the operational risk is confirmed to have dropped to an acceptable level, at which point the final stable control parameter set is determined.
