[0073] The infrared thermal camera is installed on the leeward side of each unit of the air cooling island, the infrared thermal image of each finned tube bundle is shot, and the obtained real-time finned tube bundle infrared image is transmitted to the back end for storage and calculation of the average temperature of the leeward side.

[0074] The infrared thermal imager is a custom-made version for the actual situation of the air cooling island, has all-weather passive thermal imaging function, and can be used in a wide range of environmental temperature. The field of view of up to 56° can observe the effective measured target of 9.04*6.78 (m2) at a distance of 10 meters. The infrared thermal imager corresponding to the current air cooling unit is installed on the outer side opposite to the fin of the current air cooling unit, and on the lower side of the steam pipe of the air cooling island. Two outer sides of one air cooling unit each correspond to one infrared thermal imager. The infrared temperature image of the adjacent air cooling unit is obtained in real time, the obtained infrared temperature image is transmitted to the back end for storage through the bus, and the average temperature of the two sides of the leeward side of each air cooling unit is extracted.

[0075] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, specifically, the data as the input features of data driving and the data for calculating the heat transfer coefficient are obtained through the DCS system, including,

[0076] The data obtained by the DCS system has two kinds, one is as a data-driven input feature, including obtaining the steam temperature at the inlet of the air cooling island, the outlet condensate water temperature of each unit of the air cooling island and the rotational speed of the axial flow fan; the other is the data for calculating the heat transfer coefficient, including the exhaust steam pressure and flow rate at the outlet of the steam turbine, the atmospheric temperature, i.e., the air temperature at the inlet of the air cooling island, the atmospheric pressure, and the heat transfer coefficient of each unit of the air cooling island is calculated.

[0077] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, specifically, the calculation process of the heat transfer coefficient of each unit of the air cooling island includes the exhaust steam pressure Pc and flow rate Gn at the outlet of the steam turbine, the atmospheric temperature ta1, the atmospheric pressure pa, and the calculation of the heat transfer coefficient of each unit of the air cooling island, the calculation process is as follows:

[0078] The condensate water saturation temperature ts, the condensate water enthalpy hew and the steam enthalpy hew in the finned tube are calculated using the water and water vapor property and property standard formula IAPWS-IF97. The calculation function of the IAPWS-IF97 standard formula in the third-party library iapws of python and CoolProp can be calculated by calling the related function combined with the known parameters of the exhaust steam pressure Pc. The formula used for calculating the heat release Qn when the steam condenses in the finned tube is:

[0079] Q n =G n (h ev -h ew )

[0080] In the formula, Gn is the exhaust steam flow rate of the steam turbine.

[0081] Referring to Figure 2 , the outlet temperature ta2 of the air cooling island and its corresponding air physical properties such as Figure 2 are calculated by iterative calculation. The maximum temperature difference tem of the inlet and outlet of the air cooling island is set to 40℃, the iterative interval of the outlet temperature ta2 of the air cooling island is (ta1, ta1+tem℃), the iterative interval is te=0.01℃, and the iterative calculation is performed: for calculating the air physical properties, first, the average temperature of the inlet and outlet of the air cooling island is calculated Then the air is regarded as an ideal gas to calculate its density The formula used is Secondly, the specific heat capacity at constant pressure of the air is calculated The formula used is: Then the heat absorbed by the air outside the finned tube Qa is calculated, and the formula used is: In the formula, Ay is the windward area of the air-cooled island, and vF is the wind speed of the windward surface (the average wind speed of the air-cooled unit corresponding to the rotational speed of the axial flow fan of the air-cooled island). Finally, the calculation result is judged. When the heat absorbed by the air outside the finned tube is equal to the heat released by the condensation of the steam inside the finned tube, that is, Qa=Qn, the iteration of this time is determined. If Qa=Qn is not established, iteration is continued. In the actual iteration process, due to calculation errors and measurement errors, the condition of Qa=Qn is usually difficult to establish. Therefore, in the execution process, it is judged by Qe=|Qa-Qn|<Qt, wherein Qe is the heat difference, Qt is the heat error tolerance, and Qt is set to 5% of Qn. In order to increase the accuracy, the entire iteration process is carried out, and among all the results meeting the condition of Qe<Qt, the air outlet temperature ta2 corresponding to the smallest Qe and the corresponding air physical properties are selected.

[0082] After the air outlet temperature ta2 of the air-cooled island and the corresponding air physical properties are calculated through iteration, the heat transfer performance of the entire air-cooled island is determined by calculating NTU, and the heat transfer coefficient of each unit of the air-cooled island is calculated using the variable operating condition laboratory formula. First, the heat transfer unit number NTU of the air-cooled island is calculated, and the formula used is:

[0083] Then, the heat transfer coefficient K of the air-cooled island is calculated, and the formula used is: Finally, the heat transfer coefficient Kij of each unit of the air-cooled island is calculated using the variable operating condition laboratory simplified formula, and the formula used is: Wherein, the subscripts i and j are the i-th row and j-th column air-cooled units. The calculated heat transfer coefficient corresponds to the real time of the corresponding data.

[0084] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, specifically, the data-driven model adopts an RNN structure neural network, such as Figure 3 The structure shown in the figure is a "multiple input single output structure", that is, multiple time step inputs and output at the last time step. The input features of the training data set are normalized, and the neural network model is set. The number of neural network layers is L=4 layers, the number of neurons in different network layers is c=[256, 512, 512, 256], the time step length T=360, the time interval is 5s (that is, the historical half-hour data is used as the input data), the loss function is MSE, and the optimizer is the gradient descent method. The hyperparameters include learning rate LearnRate, batch size BatchSize, and iteration number epochs.

[0085] First, from the training data set obtained in the previous step, the monitoring points on the air cooling island obtain the air cooling island inlet steam temperature, the outlet condensate water temperature of each unit of the air cooling island, the speed of the axial flow fan of each unit, and the average temperature of the back wind surface finned tube of each unit as input features, and strictly according to the time as a vector X, and the input feature vector at time t is denoted as Xt; the sample output vector y is the one-dimensional arrangement of the heat transfer coefficients Kij of each unit of the air cooling island, that is, y = [K11, …, K1m, K21, …, K2m, …, Kn1, …, Knm], where n and m are the number of rows and columns of the air cooling island unit array respectively, and y strictly corresponds to the input feature time, denoted as yt. Normalize the input features, use the maximum and minimum normalization, and the formula is Xmax and Xmin are the maximum and minimum values of the input features, respectively, and the calculation is by element calculation rather than matrix operation. While normalizing, save the maximum and minimum values of each feature in the sample set as a normalizer. The input of the model is the input sample of the corresponding T recent time points at time t, that is, [Xt-T+1, Xt-T+2, …, Xt], and the output of the model is During model training, the input feature vector X and the sample output vector y are arranged in time sequence as the sample set of the model, 80% of which is used as the training set, 10% as the test set, and 10% as the validation set.

[0086] The RNN of the data-driven model uses an LSTM neuron structure as Figure 4 The calculation steps are: calculate the forgetting gate vector F t = σ(X t W xf +H t-1 W hf +b f ), calculate the input gate vector I t = σ(X t W xi +H t-1 W hi +b i ), calculate the output gate vector O t = σ(X t W xo +H t-1 W ho +b o ), calculate the temporary cell state vector Calculate the cell state vector H t = O t ⊙tanh(C t). Wherein, t is t time, sigma is sigmoid activation function, tanh is tanh activation function, W represents the weight matrix of training, b represents the bias value of training, H is the hidden state. The activation function used, wherein the formula of sigmoid activation function is: The formula of tanh activation function is: The loss function adopts mean square error MSE, and the formula is N is the number of samples, yi is the output value of the training sample, The output value of the model is the output value of the model. The weight update of the neural network uses gradient descent method: Through the method, the weight of each neuron of the model is finally confirmed. A plurality of data-driven models are trained by setting a plurality of different neural network parameters and hyperparameters, and the training is stopped when the iteration number is reached. The model with the best prediction effect is selected through the validation set.

[0087] Referring to Figure 5 And Figure 6 , the heat transfer performance monitoring operation process of the second part of the air cooling island is as follows:

The obtained normalizer is used for maximum and minimum normalization of the data. Input into the time sliding window, such as Figure 5 Xt+1 in the figure does not exist at t time, and is only used for display. When Xt is input into the time sliding window, it is inserted before Xt-1, and Xt-T is deleted. At this time, the data in the time sliding window is used as the real-time input sample and input into the data-driven model. The model is as follows: Figure 4 And Figure 3 The heat transfer coefficient of each unit of the air cooling island is calculated. The data is saved, and the real-time data interface is retained to provide for the staff. The heat transfer coefficient is visualized in real time using a heat map according to the arrangement of the air cooling unit. Taking an 8x8 air cooling island as an example, Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the heat map and the numerical value are combined to display the color of the heat map from white to red, and the larger the heat transfer coefficient, the redder the color of the corresponding unit.
