Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of artificial intelligence, and in particular to a method and system for intelligently monitoring and optimizing production processes of a nuclear power plant. Background Art
[0002] Nuclear power plant operations place extremely high demands on safety, reliability, and efficiency. Traditional production monitoring and optimization decisions rely primarily on manual experience, which presents several significant drawbacks. First, traditional methods rely primarily on limited historical data and manually extracted empirical rules, making it difficult to fully leverage the deep knowledge embedded in massive amounts of production and operation data. This results in insufficient accuracy and foresight in monitoring and decision-making. Second, the manual decision-making process is complex and inefficient, often preventing timely and appropriate responses when anomalies occur, leading to delayed decisions. Furthermore, manual decision-making relies too heavily on limited personal experience, resulting in significant subjective bias and uncertainty.
[0003] On the other hand, due to the complex and ever-changing production environment, manually constructed rules or models often have certain scenario limitations and lack sufficient versatility and robustness. Once the production environment or working conditions change, manual intervention is still required to build a new model, making effective cross-scenario migration impossible. Summary of the Invention

[0068] Example 2
[0069] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, provides an intelligent monitoring and optimization method for the production business process of a nuclear power plant. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.
[0070] Specifically, a virtualized nuclear power plant conducted a six-month full-process simulation test on this solution. First, a layered big data architecture was built, 32 acquisition gateway devices were deployed in the production process, and a big data center was built in the cloud. Secondly, the anomaly detection model was trained based on three years of historical operating data (including 50 million labeled samples). The feature dimension used in training was 256, covering multiple fields such as key equipment parameters and process control indicators. In the first phase, six deep convolutional networks, four recurrent networks, and three variational autoencoders were constructed. The integrated composite anomaly detection model had an F1 score of 0.928 on the validation set. The detector model was compressed from 350M to 45M, and the inference time was reduced from 32ms to 9ms, meeting the requirements of edge devices. The compressed lightweight model was deployed to the on-site gateway.
[0071] Furthermore, an optimization decision model was constructed in parallel. The prior probability model was constructed based on domain knowledge and 10 years of historical data (1 million samples). The modeling variables included 73 state variables and 27 control decision variables. The final network contained 128 nodes and achieved a log-likelihood score of 0.86. The simulation environment covered 18 typical abnormal scenarios, with a 512-dimensional state space and 15 action spaces. The reinforcement learning model used a 4-layer convolutional network to encode the state and a 3-layer fully connected network to model the actions. The model was trained in the environment for 12 million iterations using the Proportional Proportional Optimization (PPO) algorithm, achieving an average score of 0.91 in the test scenarios.
[0072] Furthermore, a compressed anomaly detector and optimized decision-making model were integrated and deployed on 32 edge gateways. An augmented reality digital twin system was developed to visually display monitoring data and decision-making processes. A standard control instruction set was developed, and the production process was modeled as a state machine, ensuring high-bandwidth connectivity between gateway devices and the control system.
[0073] Furthermore, over the next nine months of continuous operation, 3,762 anomalies were simulated and injected, with an average detection delay of 9.6 seconds and a detection rate of 94.2%. For 2,019 low-confidence judgment results, the system intelligently sampled 529 of them, submitted them for expert review and annotation, and continuously optimized the detection model. For 356 major anomalies, the system conducted root cause analysis and incremental updates to model parameters, correcting model drift. The automated decision response took an average of 5.3 seconds, and 95.7% of anomalies were resolved within 30 minutes. The system continued to operate for 162 hours without human intervention.
[0074] After long-term operation, the model performance has gradually improved, the detector F1 score has increased from 0.928 to 0.962, and the average decision score has increased from 0.91 to 0.97.
[0075] Preferably, the comparison indicators of the present invention and the traditional method are shown in Table 1.

[0078] Specifically, as shown in Table 1, the present invention integrates multiple advanced artificial intelligence technologies and has a high detection accuracy rate (95.6%), which is significantly better than traditional methods (75% to 88%). Rapid response is a key advantage of this solution, with the detection response time shortened from minutes to 9.6 seconds, and the decision-making time reduced from several hours to 5.3 seconds. Through optimized decision-making and automated closed-loop execution, 95.7% of anomalies can be recovered within 30 minutes, significantly shortening the duration of the abnormal state. The use of an online incremental learning mechanism can continuously optimize and improve the model, avoiding the problem of outdated and stable models in traditional methods. Based on standardized workflows, the deployment and migration complexity of this solution is low, reducing the cost of engineering implementation.
