[0002] In the field of thermal power generation, traditional distributed control systems (DCS) mainly rely on preset control strategies to manage the power generation process. Although these systems can basically meet the daily operation needs, they often appear to be not flexible enough to adapt to the complex changing operating environment in the face of fuel quality fluctuations, changes in grid load, and increasing environmental protection requirements. For example, the uncertainty of fuel quality may lead to a decrease in combustion efficiency and an increase in environmental emissions, while rapid changes in grid load require the power generation system to quickly adjust its output to ensure the stability of the grid. In addition, increasingly stringent environmental regulations also require power plants to reduce pollutant emissions and improve energy use efficiency during operation.
