[0059] Adjusting the operating state of the coal mill according to the predicted coal fineness to achieve control of the coal mill coal fineness. ​

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the influencing factors of the coal powder fineness are determined according to the historical operation parameters and the coal powder fineness data, including:

[0061] For the i-th historical operation parameter, the coal powder fineness data with the same other historical operation parameters are screened out;

[0062] The change amount of the coal powder fineness data is determined according to the i-th historical operation parameter.

[0063] If the change amount is greater than a set change amount, it is determined that the i-th historical operation parameter is an influencing factor of the coal powder fineness.

[0064] If the change amount is less than the set change amount, it is determined that the i-th historical operation parameter is not an influencing factor of the coal powder fineness.

[0065] In the present embodiment, the influencing factors of the coal powder fineness are determined by the method of controlling variables. When determining whether a factor is an influencing factor, other factors are kept unchanged, and it is determined whether the coal powder fineness will change. For example, when determining whether the dynamic separator rotating speed is an influencing factor, the coal powder fineness data with the same other factors and different dynamic separator rotating speeds are screened out from the historical operation parameters, and it is determined whether the coal powder fineness will change with the change of the dynamic separator rotating speed. If the coal powder fineness will change, it is determined that the dynamic separator rotating speed is an influencing factor.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the corresponding coal powder fineness prediction model is determined according to the independence of the influence of the influencing factors on the coal powder fineness, including:

[0071] If the influence of the influencing factors on the coal powder fineness is independent and highly linear, a linear coal powder fineness prediction model is established.

[0072] If the influence of the influencing factors on the coal powder fineness is interdependent, a curve coal powder fineness prediction model is established.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, a coal fineness prediction model is established according to the influencing factors, which comprises:

[0074] The historical operation parameters and the coal fineness data corresponding to the influencing factors are processed to obtain a processed data set, which comprises a training data set and a test data set.

[0077] In the present embodiment, the initial coal fineness prediction model with the determined parameters is tested by the test data set. If the test result is within the set result acceptance range, the parameters are retained to obtain the coal fineness prediction model. If the test result is not within the set result acceptance range, the parameters of the initial coal fineness prediction model are corrected and retested.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the expression of the coal fineness prediction model is:

[0079] R=R0+k1n+k2Q+k3B

[0080] wherein R is the coal fineness, R0 is the coal fineness constant, n is the dynamic separator speed, k1 is the influence coefficient of the dynamic separator speed on the coal fineness, Q is the primary air volume, k2 is the influence coefficient of the primary air volume on the coal fineness, B is the mill output, and k3 is the influence coefficient of the mill output on the coal fineness.

[0081] In the present embodiment, by analyzing the historical operation parameters and the coal fineness data, it can be determined that the influence of the influencing factors on the coal fineness is independent and highly linear. Therefore, a linear coal fineness prediction model is established, and it is tested and trained according to the training data set and the test data set to obtain R0, k1, k2 and k3.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the operation state of the coal mill is adjusted according to the predicted coal fineness, which comprises:

[0083] The coal fineness difference between the predicted coal fineness and the set coal fineness is determined.

[0084] The operation state of the coal mill is adjusted according to the coal fineness difference.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the operation state of the coal mill is adjusted according to the coal fineness difference, which comprises:

[0086] determining a first ratio between the coal fineness difference and a dynamic separator speed influence coefficient of the coal fineness, a second ratio between the coal fineness difference and a primary air flow influence coefficient of the coal fineness, and a third ratio between the coal fineness difference and a coal mill output influence coefficient of the coal fineness.

[0087] comparing the first ratio, the second ratio and the third ratio to determine a minimum value.

[0088] If the minimum value is the first ratio, the dynamic separator speed is adjusted.

[0089] If the minimum value is the second ratio, the primary air flow is adjusted.

[0090] If the minimum value is the third ratio, the coal mill output is adjusted.

[0091] In the embodiment, when the coal mill operating state is adjusted, all parameters cannot be adjusted according to the optimization principle, and it is necessary to select an adjustment of a certain influencing factor with the lowest adjustment amount. Therefore, the minimum value is determined by comparing the first ratio, the second ratio and the third ratio, and the coal mill is adjusted according to the minimum value.
