Problems solved by technology

rule-based systems like those that drive the rules, the established rules by themselves cannot be adapted to the wide variety of operating conditions that may be encountered on a daily basis
Furthermore, a time- or rule-based system is not the best solution in itself because of the complexity of individual components, their composition, and the desire to serve multiple purposes in a dynamic real-time environment
Although rule-based systems are an improvement over traditional hard-coded techniques, these techniques cannot handle some of the dynamic and transient operating characteristics of today's boilers

Embodiment Construction

[0040] It should be understood that although the embodiments of the present invention are described herein for a generator set using coal, the present invention can also be applied to boilers used in conjunction with power generation systems using other combustible fuels and boilers that are not used in conjunction with generator sets.

[0041] It should also be understood that the various systems described in the illustrated embodiments of the present invention may take the form of computer hardware, computer software, or a combination of the hardware and software. Computer hardware can take the form of traditional computing systems, including processors, data storage devices, input devices (such as keyboards, mice, touch screens and similar devices), and output devices (display devices such as monitors, and printers) ), or be incorporated into another computer system as part of it.

Abstract

A method and apparatus for optimizing the operation of a power generating plant using artificial intelligence techniques. One or more decisions D are determined for at least one consecutive time increment, where at least one of the decisions D is associated with a discrete variable for the operation of a power plant device in the power generating plant. In an illustrated embodiment, the power plant device is a soot cleaning device associated with a boiler.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the operation of power plants, and more specifically, to a method and device for optimizing the operation of power plants using artificial intelligence technology. Background technique [0002] In traditional fossil fuel (such as coal-fired) thermal power plants, the fossil fuel / air mixture is ignited in the boiler. A large amount of water is pumped into the tubes inside the boiler, and the strong heat from the burning fuel turns the water in the boiler tubes into high-pressure steam. The high-pressure steam from the boiler enters a turbine composed of multiple turbine blades. Once the steam hits the turbine blades, it prompts the turbine to spin quickly. The rotating turbine causes the shaft to rotate inside the generator, thereby generating an electric potential. It should be understood that the terms "power plant" and "factory" used in the text refer to a group of generator sets consisting of one or more generat...
