[0034] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions of the prior art, the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.
[0035] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of a method for operating a thermal power unit provided in an embodiment of the present application;
[0036] Figure 2 A structural block diagram of a thermal power unit operation and management device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] During the actual operation of thermal power units, the temperature, air volume, etc. of the thermal power units need to be properly adjusted under different unit loads, different temperatures, different coal qualities, etc., so as to maximize the power generation power per unit mass of fuel, thereby reducing the coal consumption of the thermal power units to a certain extent and reducing the operating costs of the thermal power units.
[0038] However, at present, when adjusting the parameters that affect the power generation of thermal power units, such as the wind volume and temperature, they are often set based on human experience, which has no scientific theoretical basis and cannot maximize the use of fuel energy and improve the power generation efficiency of thermal power units.
[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for operating a thermal power plant provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the method for operating a thermal power plant may include:
[0041] S11: Using the historical operating factors and the corresponding historical intermediate variables, a corresponding relationship model between the operating factors and the intermediate variables is obtained using the DDQN algorithm.
[0042] Among them, the operating factors may include but are not limited to any one of the air temperature, air pressure and air volume at the outlet of the coal mill, the opening of the hot air valve at the mill inlet, the instantaneous coal feed rate of the coal feeder, and the secondary air volume of the furnace; they mainly refer to the parameters that can be artificially controlled to control the coal combustion process when the thermal power unit is generating electricity.
[0043] Intermediate variables may include but are not limited to any one of the following: air preheater exhaust gas temperature, main steam temperature, main steam pressure, reheat steam temperature, condenser end difference, boiler combustion coal consumption, and power generation capacity; they mainly refer to the parameters of the coal combustion process of the thermal power unit.
[0044] It should be noted that during the operation of a thermal power unit, the coal needs to be first conveyed to the coal mill through a conveyor belt. After the coal mill grinds the coal, it blows the crushed coal powder into the furnace through primary hot air. The primary hot air is the hot air at the outlet of the coal mill. The air temperature, air pressure and air volume at the outlet of the coal mill affect the temperature of the coal powder entering the furnace and the amount of coal fed to a certain extent. In addition, the opening of the hot air valve at the mill inlet, that is, the opening of the inlet valve from the coal mill to the furnace, also affects the air volume and air pressure of the primary hot air to a certain extent.
[0045] The instantaneous coal feeding amount of the coal feeder refers to the mass of coal instantly transmitted by the conveyor belt to the coal mill. The instantaneous coal feeding amount of the coal feeder also directly affects the coal feeding amount from the coal mill outlet to the furnace. The secondary air volume of the furnace is the air volume that provides oxygen during the coal combustion process. It is generally cold air, which will take away the heat in the furnace to a certain extent. Therefore, the air volume also needs to be controlled within a reasonable range to avoid too much heat being taken away while providing sufficient oxygen.
[0046] Intermediate variables are parameters that characterize the power generation status of thermal power units to a certain extent and change under the influence of operating factors.
[0047] To this end, in this embodiment, the corresponding relationship model between the operation factors and the intermediate variables is obtained through the DDQN (Deep Reinforcement Learning with Double Q-learning) algorithm.
[0048] DDQN eliminates the problem of over-estimation by decoupling the selection of the target Q-value action and the calculation of the target Q-value. Therefore, compared with other learning algorithms, the DDQN algorithm can avoid the algorithm model obtained by learning from the local optimal result due to over-estimation, and ultimately make the obtained algorithm model more accurate.
[0049] When constructing a corresponding relationship model between operating factors and intermediate variables, the relevant data of historical operating factors and historical intermediate variables can be first extracted from the database; and then the relevant data of historical operating factors and historical intermediate variables can be standardized. For example, Lasso regression operation can be used to reduce the dimension of historical operating factors and historical intermediate variables, and then data clustering can be performed to reduce the number of historical operating factors and historical intermediate variables, so as to avoid local optimal and local transition fitting in the subsequent determination of the corresponding relationship model, and improve the accuracy of the corresponding relationship model obtained by learning the data of historical operating factors and historical intermediate variables after data processing using the DDQN algorithm.
[0050] S12: According to the boundary conditions of the current operation of the thermal power unit, the theoretical intermediate variables corresponding to the highest economic benefits of the thermal power unit under the boundary conditions are searched in a pre-created benchmark database.
[0051] The boundary conditions may include but are not limited to any one of the unit load, ambient temperature and coal quality data; the boundary conditions mainly refer to the restrictive conditions for the operation of thermal power units, such as the number and model of units, the quality of coal transported, etc.
[0052] Coal quality data mainly refers to the element content in the coal fed into the furnace, such as the carbon content and sulfur content per gram of coal; it also includes data such as the calorific value of coal.
[0053] Under different boundary conditions, the corresponding intermediate variables when the thermal power unit obtains the highest economic benefit are different. The thermal power unit obtains the highest economic benefit, which means that the coal consumption per unit of power generation is the least.
[0054] To this end, it is possible to collect multiple groups of historical intermediate variables generated during the operation of the thermal power unit and the coal consumption per unit power generation corresponding to each group of the historical intermediate variables;
[0055] The neural network training is carried out for the historical intermediate variables and the corresponding historical coal consumption per unit power under different boundary conditions, so as to determine the corresponding relationship between the intermediate variables and the coal consumption under different boundary conditions;
[0056] Under different boundary conditions determined based on this corresponding relationship, the intermediate variable with the lowest coal consumption is the theoretical intermediate variable corresponding to the highest economic benefit.
[0057] The theoretical intermediate variables corresponding to the highest economic benefits under different boundary conditions are stored in the benchmark database. During the operation of the thermal power unit, the corresponding theoretical intermediate variables are queried in the benchmark database through the current boundary conditions of the thermal power unit. Obviously, if the intermediate variables controlling the operation of the thermal power unit can reach the theoretical intermediate variables, the economic benefits of the thermal power unit can reach the highest.
[0058] S13: According to the theoretical intermediate variables and the corresponding relationship model, the theoretical operation factors corresponding to the theoretical intermediate variables are determined and output, so as to control the operation of the thermal power unit according to the theoretical operation factors.
[0059] To summarize, in this application, a more accurate correspondence model between operating factors and intermediate variables is obtained in advance through DDQN algorithm learning and training, and the theoretical intermediate variables corresponding to the highest economic benefits under the current operating state of the thermal power unit are determined through the benchmark database, and then the theoretical operating factors are determined using the corresponding relationship model and theoretical intermediate variables determined based on the DDQN algorithm. Therefore, the operation process of the thermal power unit can be controlled according to the theoretical operating factors, so that the intermediate variables in the operation process of the thermal power unit are equal to or close to the theoretical intermediate variables, which makes the economic benefits of the operation of the thermal power unit the highest, which is conducive to reducing the operating costs of the thermal power units, and then reducing the electricity costs of all industries.
[0060] Based on any of the above embodiments, after the operation of the thermal power unit is controlled based on the theoretical operating factor, the actual intermediate variable of the thermal power unit may not be completely the same as the theoretical intermediate variable. In order to obtain more accurate control of the operation of the thermal power unit, in an optional embodiment of the present application, it may further include:
[0061] Collect actual intermediate variables generated by controlling the thermal power unit according to multiple sets of theoretical operating factors within the period according to a predetermined period;
[0062] According to the actual intermediate variables and the corresponding theoretical operating factors, the DDQN algorithm is used to modify the corresponding relationship model.
[0063] The predetermined correspondence model is determined based on historical operating factors and corresponding historical intermediate variables. However, for different thermal power units, the correspondence model may also change with different operating processes and operating environments. Therefore, the correspondence model can be corrected and updated based on the actual operating factors and intermediate variables during the operation of the thermal power unit, further improving the accuracy of the correspondence model.
[0064] Similarly, for different boundary conditions in the benchmark database, the intermediate variables corresponding to the highest economic benefits of the thermal power unit may also have deviations. Therefore, in another optional embodiment of the present application, it may further include:
[0065] According to the preset period, the boundary conditions corresponding to the actual intermediate variables of the thermal power units within the period and the actual coal consumption per unit power generation are collected;
[0066] According to the actual intermediate variables and the corresponding actual coal consumption under different boundary conditions, the theoretical intermediate variables corresponding to the highest economic benefit in the benchmark database are updated.
[0067] When the corresponding relationship model and the theoretical intermediate variables corresponding to the highest economic benefit are updated according to a predetermined period, the same predetermined period or different periods may be used, and this is not limited in detail in the present application.
