Detailed Implementation

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of this application.

[0014] The embodiments described in this application are only some, not all, of the embodiments described herein. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described herein without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0015] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an optimization method for SSS clutch health status combined cycle units.

[0016] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The optimization method for the health status of the SSS clutch combined cycle unit includes the following steps: Step S1 involves real-time acquisition of multi-source data from the clutch, including clutch vibration signals, clutch friction plate temperature field data, and lubricating oil metal particle content data. Specifically, high-frequency vibration characteristics are monitored using an accelerometer to obtain vibration signals and identify abnormal gear wear; infrared thermal imaging captures the temperature rise of the clutch friction plate, providing an early warning of overheating risks; and the lubricating oil metal particle content is detected, and oil analysis is performed to quantify the degree of mechanical wear. In this step S1, 0-20kHz high-frequency accelerometers are placed at key stress points on the clutch housing, and an infrared thermal imaging array with ±0.5℃ accuracy is deployed in the corresponding area of ​​the friction plate. An oil spectrometer is installed in the lubricating oil circulation pipeline to collect high-frequency vibration signals, full-area friction plate temperature field data, and the concentration of Fe, Cu, and Al element particles in the lubricating oil in real time. Simultaneously, gear meshing vibration characteristics, friction plate temperature rise curves, and metal particle size distribution are recorded. Through simultaneous acquisition and precise monitoring of multi-source data, the core characteristics of gear wear, friction plate overheating, and mechanical wear are comprehensively captured, providing comprehensive and high-precision raw data for subsequent fault identification and significantly improving the ability to detect early fault symptoms.

[0017] Step S2: Extract multi-dimensional fault features of the clutch from multi-source data. These features include time-frequency domain features, metal particle content features, and friction plate temperature rise rate features. In step S2, the vibration signal acquired in step S1 is decomposed using an improved EEMD algorithm and combined with WPD and PCA noise reduction to extract time-frequency domain features such as kurtosis and entropy. Metal particle content and particle size distribution are statistically analyzed using oil spectrometer data. The friction plate temperature rise rate and temperature difference distribution features per unit time are calculated based on infrared thermal imaging data. This multi-dimensional feature extraction comprehensively uncovers the clutch's operating status correlation information, effectively distinguishing between normal fluctuations and fault characteristics, laying a solid foundation for health status assessment.

[0018] Step S3: Based on multi-dimensional fault characteristics and a preset health index quantification model, the real-time health status of the clutch is obtained. In this step S3, the multi-dimensional fault characteristics extracted in step S2, such as time-frequency domain, metal particle content, and temperature rise rate, are input into the preset health index quantification model. The real-time health index is calculated by integrating the weights of each feature. Through the comprehensive judgment of multi-source features by the model, the current health level of the clutch is accurately quantified, avoiding the one-sidedness of single feature evaluation, and providing an intuitive and reliable status basis for subsequent operation and maintenance decisions.

[0019] In one embodiment, step S3 further includes the following specific steps: Step S31: Normalize the multi-dimensional fault features and output a health index value within a preset range. In this step S31, the Min-Max normalization method is used to process the multi-dimensional fault features, mapping the time-frequency domain features, metal particle content features, and temperature rise rate features to the preset range [0,1], and outputting standardized health index values. Feature normalization eliminates the dimensional differences of data from different dimensions, ensuring that the weight of each feature in the model is reasonable, and improving the accuracy and comparability of the health index calculation.

[0020] Step S32: Based on the relationship between the health index value and the health status threshold, the real-time health status of the clutch is obtained. In this step S32, a preset health index ≥ 0.8 indicates a good health status; a preset health index between 0.6 and 0.8 indicates a moderate health status; and a preset health index < 0.6 indicates a warning status. The health index value output in S31 is compared with the threshold to determine the real-time health status of the clutch. Clear threshold divisions make health status determination more operational, facilitating maintenance personnel to quickly identify risk levels.

[0021] Step S4: Input the real-time health status of the clutch into a preset health status prediction framework to obtain the corresponding health status level. In this step S4, the real-time health index of the clutch and the corresponding multi-dimensional feature data obtained in S3 are input into the health status prediction framework built on an LSTM neural network. The framework outputs the corresponding health status level through its built-in training model. Deep learning algorithms are used to mine the state evolution law and predict the trend of health status changes in advance, providing forward-looking guidance for preventive maintenance.

[0022] In one embodiment, step S4 further includes the following specific steps: Step S41: Input the real-time health status of the clutch into the health status prediction framework, establish a correlation mapping relationship between the data and the remaining life, and deduce the probability distribution of the remaining life. In this step S41, the real-time health status data of the clutch, along with multi-source data such as historical operating temperature, load, and vibration, are input into the health status prediction framework. Through model training, a nonlinear correlation mapping relationship between the data and the remaining life is established, and the probability distribution of the remaining life with a confidence interval of ±5% is deduced and output. Through accurate remaining life prediction, a scientific time reference is provided for maintenance plan formulation, avoiding over-maintenance or maintenance delays.

[0023] Step S42: Determine the corresponding health status level based on the remaining lifetime probability distribution and the preset health status grading standard. In step S42, a preset remaining lifetime > 8000 hours corresponds to health status level A; a preset remaining lifetime > 4000 hours and < 8000 hours corresponds to health status level B; a preset remaining lifetime > 2000 hours and < 4000 hours corresponds to health status level C; and a preset remaining lifetime < 2000 hours corresponds to health status level D. By comparing the remaining lifetime probability distribution output in S41 with the grading standard, the corresponding health status level is determined. This clear grading clarifies the degree of equipment risk, facilitating the development of targeted operation and maintenance strategies.

[0024] Step S5: Based on a preset virtual machine group model, simulate the clutch response under different operating conditions to obtain simulation results for different clutch operating conditions. In one embodiment, the unit simulation model is a virtual mapping model that includes the clutch dynamic characteristics and fluid coupling characteristics, with the dynamic characteristics characterized by a built-in nonlinear stiffness coefficient. Specifically, in step S5, a 1:1 virtual mapping model including the clutch dynamic characteristics (built-in nonlinear stiffness coefficient) and fluid coupling characteristics is constructed based on digital twin technology. This model simulates the clutch vibration response, temperature changes, and wear under different loads, speeds, and ambient temperatures, outputting simulation results for more than 2,000 operating conditions. Virtual simulation comprehensively covers complex operating scenarios, allowing for the understanding of the impact of different operating conditions on the clutch without physical testing, thus reducing testing costs and risks.

[0025] Step S6: Adjust the load distribution and clutch engagement timing of the combined cycle unit based on the health status level and simulation results. In step S6, based on the health status level determined in S4 and combined with the operating condition simulation results in S5, dynamically adjust the pressure and timing parameters of the gas turbine load distribution ratio and clutch engagement. Through targeted adjustments, overload operation under poor health conditions is avoided, the wear of the clutch due to impact loads is reduced, and the coordinated optimization of unit operation and equipment protection is achieved. In one embodiment, step S6 further includes the following specific steps: Step S61: Adjust the operating parameters of the core equipment of the unit based on the health status level. In this step S61, the operating parameters of the core equipment are dynamically adjusted according to the health status level: under the A-level status, the gas turbine power generation efficiency is maintained at ≥58%; under the B / C-level status, the inlet guide vane angle is adjusted with an accuracy of ±3°; under the D-level status, the load is appropriately reduced and the engagement time is shortened. By adjusting the graded parameters, the unit can be adapted to different health statuses, thereby reducing equipment wear while ensuring unit operation.

[0026] Step S62: A multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal balance between unit operating performance and clutch wear. In this step S62, the NSGA-Ⅲ multi-objective optimization algorithm is used, with constraints of power generation efficiency ≥58%, NOx emissions ≤50mg / m³, and clutch wear rate ≤0.01mm / thousand-hour, to find the Pareto optimal balance between unit operating performance and clutch wear. Through multi-objective collaborative optimization, a win-win situation of economic benefits, environmental benefits, and equipment health is achieved, thereby enhancing the overall operating value of the unit.

[0027] The technical solution of this application achieves dynamic adjustment of unit operating parameters through multi-source data acquisition, multi-dimensional fault feature extraction, quantitative assessment and prediction of health status, combined with digital twin simulation. This enables real-time monitoring of the SSS clutch health status and early warning of potential faults, effectively reducing the risk of unplanned downtime.
