Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment fault early warning technology, and in particular to a blockage early warning method, system, device and medium for air preheaters. Background Technology

[0002] Air preheaters are crucial equipment in coal-fired power plant boilers. Specifically, they are heat exchange surfaces where flue gas from the boiler's tail flue preheats the air entering the boiler to a specific temperature through internal heat exchange elements. This improves the boiler's heat exchange performance and reduces energy consumption. Nationwide, numerous coal-fired power units are undergoing ultra-clean emission retrofits to meet new environmental emission standards. However, while these units are operating at ultra-clean levels, varying degrees of air preheater blockage have occurred. The blockage is caused by the significant increase in unreacted ammonia during the ultra-clean reduction process. This escaped ammonia reacts with SO3 in the flue gas to form ammonium bisulfate. Liquid ammonium bisulfate is highly viscous and readily attracts fly ash from the flue gas, leading to accumulation and blockage within the air preheater, severely impacting the unit's normal operation.

[0003] Currently, air preheater blockage and early warning methods rely primarily on the following data signal sources: displacement signal sensors (CN111044275B), flue gas composition sensors (CN113217941 B), temperature signal sensors, and pressure signal sensors. However, the air preheater blockage monitoring method based on displacement signal sensors utilizes displacement sensors arranged in the flue gas flow direction at the air preheater inlet or outlet to monitor changes in the displacement signal of each pore in the air preheater heat exchange element, in order to determine whether the pore is currently blocked. This type of displacement signal sensor is greatly affected by the scouring effect of air or flue gas flow, and is prone to offset, resulting in inaccurate alignment with the pores of the air preheater heat exchange element, thus causing signal distortion. Secondly, the heat exchange element has numerous pores, requiring the installation of a large number of sensors, which inevitably affects the original structure of the air preheater. In contrast, the air preheater blockage monitoring method based on flue gas composition sensors and temperature sensors typically uses flue gas composition sensors located in the flue between the denitrification system outlet and the air preheater inlet, mainly measuring the content of NH3 (ammonia slip) and SO3. The degree of air preheater blockage is determined by establishing a correlation data model of parameters such as SO3 concentration, NH3 concentration, and flue gas temperature. This method requires real-time and accurate flue gas composition analysis, which can be achieved either by installing numerous online flue gas sensors for real-time analysis or by installing a flue gas extraction device for real-time extraction and analysis. The former is extremely costly, while the latter suffers from poor real-time performance due to rapid changes in flue gas composition.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solution to monitor the blockage of air preheaters in real time and effectively. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a method, system, device, and medium for early warning of air preheater blockage, which aims to obtain the blockage status of air preheater in real time and accurately, and to predict the blockage status at any future time.

[0026] The warning level is determined based on the relationship between the second congestion coefficient and the preset threshold.

[0027] Furthermore, the preset thresholds include a first preset threshold, a second preset threshold, and a third preset threshold;

[0028] The step of determining the warning level based on the relationship between the second congestion coefficient and a preset threshold includes:

[0029] If the second congestion coefficient is less than the first preset threshold, then the warning level is the normal level;

The terminal can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and portable wearable devices, and the server can be a standalone server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.

[0060] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for early warning of blockage in an air preheater, comprising:

[0061] S1. Obtain historical operating data of the thermal power unit within a preset time period, and establish an operating data correlation model based on the historical operating data; the operating data correlation model is used to represent the relationship between the static pressure difference of the flue gas at the inlet and outlet of the air preheater and the main steam flow rate in the thermal power unit within the preset time period.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S1 includes:

[0063] S11. Calculate the inlet air temperature of the air preheater based on historical operating data to obtain multiple sets of inlet air temperature data;

[0064] S12. Sort multiple sets of inlet air temperature data according to size, and classify them according to preset temperature range to obtain multiple sets of inlet air temperature classification data;

[0065] S13. For each group of inlet air temperature classification data, establish the relationship between the static pressure difference of flue gas at the inlet and outlet of the air preheater and the main steam flow in the thermal power unit to obtain the operation data association model.

[0066] The preset time period is preferably one week. Multiple sets of historical operating data are collected within this preset time period. Each set of data includes a timestamp, main steam flow rate of the thermal power unit, static pressure of flue gas at the air preheater inlet, static pressure of flue gas at the air preheater outlet, primary air temperature at the air preheater inlet, secondary air temperature at the air preheater inlet, primary air mass flow rate at the air preheater inlet, and secondary air mass flow rate at the air preheater inlet. The inlet air temperature of the air preheater is calculated based on the historical operating data using the following formula:

[0067]

[0068] In the formula, Tair,in is the inlet air temperature of the air preheater, T1 is the inlet primary air temperature of the air preheater, m1 is the inlet primary air mass flow rate of the air preheater, T2 is the inlet secondary air temperature of the air preheater, and m2 is the inlet secondary air mass flow rate of the air preheater.

[0069] The collected data sets are categorized based on the inlet air temperature of the air preheater. The data sets are classified according to their Tair,in values, with each preset temperature interval ΔT representing the same data interval, for a total of i groups. For each group of categorized data, a relationship between the differential pressure on the flue gas side of the air preheater and the main steam flow rate is established, thus obtaining the operational data correlation model. The operational data correlation model is as follows:

[0070] ΔP = m·exp(aX+b)+n

[0071] In the formula, ΔP is the differential pressure of the flue gas side of the air preheater (i.e., the difference between the static pressure of the flue gas at the inlet of the air preheater and the static pressure of the flue gas at the outlet of the air preheater in each group of historical operating data), X is the main steam flow rate (i.e., the main steam flow rate in each group of historical operating data), and m, a, b, and n are all constants of the fitting function.

[0072] This invention requires no additional equipment installation. It establishes a correlation model based on historical data of key air preheater operating indicators to monitor the blockage of the air preheater, thereby improving the accuracy of early warning. By collecting historical data and classifying the air preheater inlet air temperature, it establishes a relationship between the differential pressure on the flue gas side of the air preheater and the main steam flow rate, and then builds a model. This is a brand-new early warning approach that requires no additional equipment installation and has strong real-time performance.

[0073] S2. Calculate the blockage monitoring and evaluation criteria of the air preheater based on the operation data association model to obtain the blockage coefficient of the air preheater;

[0074] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, step S2 includes:

[0075] S21. Obtain real-time operating data of thermal power units;

[0076] S22. Input the real-time operating data into the operating data association model for calculation to obtain the real-time air preheater reference flue gas side differential pressure; wherein, the calculation formula for the real-time air preheater reference flue gas side differential pressure is:

[0077] ΔP0=m·exp(aX0+b)+n

[0078] In the formula, ΔP0 is the real-time reference flue gas differential pressure of the air preheater; X0 is the main steam flow rate of the thermal power unit in the real-time operating data;

[0079] S23. Calculate the blockage coefficient of the air preheater based on the real-time differential pressure of the reference flue gas side of the air preheater according to the blockage monitoring and evaluation standard of the air preheater.

[0080] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S23 includes:

[0081] S231. Calculate the real-time flue gas differential pressure of the air preheater based on real-time operating data;

[0082] S232. Based on the real-time reference flue gas differential pressure and the real-time flue gas differential pressure of the air preheater, the blockage coefficient of the air preheater is calculated; the formula for calculating the blockage coefficient is:

[0083]

[0084] In the formula, S is the blockage coefficient; ΔP1 is the real-time flue gas differential pressure of the air preheater (i.e., the difference between the static pressure of the flue gas at the air preheater inlet and the static pressure of the flue gas at the air preheater outlet in the real-time data).

[0085] This invention establishes a new air preheater blockage monitoring and evaluation standard, which uses a blockage coefficient to quantify the degree of blockage in the air preheater. By summarizing patterns in historical data, this standard quantifies the real-time blockage of the air preheater and further predicts the blockage situation in the future, thus improving the accuracy of the prediction.

[0086] S3. Determine the warning level based on the blockage coefficient of the air preheater;

[0087] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, step S3 includes:

[0088] S31. Calculate the real-time blocking velocity based on the blocking coefficients of the air preheater in the first time period and the second time period; the real-time blocking velocity is calculated using the following formula:

[0089]

[0090] In the formula, v is the real-time congestion speed; Y is the sampling frequency; S is the congestion coefficient in the first time period; and S′ is the congestion coefficient in the second time period.

[0091] The real-time congestion rate is the rate of change of the congestion coefficient over time output by the early warning algorithm proposed in this invention after the cumulative running time reaches the running threshold. The running threshold is usually 2 days. Therefore, the first time period is 24-48 hours within the running threshold, and the second time period is 0-24 hours within the running threshold.

[0092] S32. Based on the real-time congestion rate and the first congestion coefficient, calculate the second congestion coefficient; where the first congestion coefficient is the congestion coefficient at the current moment, and the second congestion coefficient is the congestion coefficient of the air preheater at a future moment; the second congestion coefficient is calculated using the following formula:

[0093]

[0094] In the formula, S1 is the second congestion coefficient; S0 is the first congestion coefficient; t1 is a future time; t0 is the current time;

[0095] S33. Determine the warning level based on the relationship between the second congestion coefficient and the preset threshold;

[0096] In one specific embodiment, the preset threshold includes a first preset threshold, a second preset threshold, and a third preset threshold; wherein, step S33 includes:

[0097] If the second congestion coefficient is less than the first preset threshold, the warning level is normal; if the second congestion coefficient is greater than the first preset threshold but not greater than the second preset threshold, the warning level is slight; if the second congestion coefficient is greater than the second preset threshold but not greater than the third preset threshold, the warning level is moderate; if the second congestion coefficient is greater than the third preset threshold, the warning level is severe.

[0098] The early warning algorithm proposed in this invention will issue an early warning at the current time t0 based on the air preheater coefficient S1 at time t1. The early warning level classification is shown in the table below:

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] The present invention establishes a correlation data model between the differential pressure on the flue gas side of the air preheater and the main steam flow rate to establish a new monitoring and evaluation standard for air preheater blockage, and monitors and warns of the air preheater blockage situation in real time; and warns of the blockage situation at a future moment, and can manually and automatically correct the prediction result to improve the prediction accuracy.

[0102] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, after step S3, it includes:

[0103] S41. Determine the first blockage identifier according to the first blockage coefficient;

[0104] S42. Determine the second blockage identifier according to the second blockage coefficient;

[0105] S43. Output the corresponding expert advice in the expert advice model library according to the difference between the first blockage identifier and the second blockage identifier;

[0106] The early warning algorithm proposed by the present invention also pre-sets an expert experience model, which contains the expert's response suggestions for the air preheater blockage situation in different situations, and can provide guidance for actual operation. By comparing the real-time blockage coefficient and the predicted value of the blockage coefficient at a future moment with the expert experience model, the expert advice on the current operation mode of the air preheater can be obtained. The specific rules are as follows:

[0107] For the first blockage coefficient S0 at the current t0 moment, its corresponding first blockage identifier K0, and the second blockage coefficient S1 at the future t1 moment, and its corresponding second blockage identifier K1: when K0 = K1, output the expert advice for any corresponding interval of the two; when K0 < K1, it means that the blockage situation at the future moment worsens, and output the expert advice for the interval corresponding to S1; when K0 > K1, it means that the blockage situation at the future moment eases. Further, when K0 - K1 >= 2, no expert advice is output; when K0 - K1 = 1, output the expert advice for the interval corresponding to S0.

[0108] The early warning algorithm proposed by the present invention also has a manual correction function. When the air preheater of the unit is overhauled, or after any modification of the unit that may cause changes in the operating characteristics of the air preheater body, the manual correction function can be started. At this time, the early warning algorithm will automatically obtain the historical data after the change of the unit to update the correlation data model to ensure the accuracy of the evaluation standard.

[0109] This application proposes a blockage warning method for air preheaters, addressing the issues of existing air preheaters lacking a blockage warning mechanism and having inaccurate prediction results. This method achieves real-time monitoring and warning of air preheater blockage without requiring additional equipment. It establishes a correlation data model between the differential pressure on the flue gas side of the air preheater and the main steam flow rate to create a new air preheater blockage monitoring and evaluation standard. This allows for accurate real-time acquisition of air preheater blockage status and prediction of blockage at any future moment. Furthermore, it utilizes a pre-set expert experience model of air preheater blockage operation modes to guide timely adjustments to the operation mode. The method also allows for both manual and automatic correction of prediction results, improving prediction accuracy.
