The high efficiency and stability of furnace combustion has become the most important link in the waste incineration process.

[0003] Due to the unstable calorific value of garbage and the limitations of environmental protection supervision, the domestic furnace flame monitoring still continues to control the system through manual observation, but this method has many disadvantages due to the difficulty in controlling the level of on-site personnel.

[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Example

[0049] Please refer to the attached drawings of the specification. This embodiment provides a method, device, electronic device and computer-readable storage medium for analyzing furnace flames in a waste incineration plant based on an artificial neural network. The method for analyzing furnace flames in a waste incineration plant based on an artificial neural network includes:

[0050] Acquire furnace flame image information of the furnace flame in the incinerator;

[0051] The step of obtaining the furnace flame image information of the furnace flame in the incinerator also includes:

[0052] A high temperature monitoring CCD camera is installed before and after the incinerator to collect the flame video in the furnace through the high temperature monitoring CCD camera;

[0053] The furnace flame video in the furnace collected by the high temperature monitoring CCD camera is collected and encoded through a video splitter and an image video acquisition card to generate digitally encoded furnace flame image information.

[0054] Preprocessing the furnace flame image information, and using the preprocessed furnace flame image information as a training sample; the preprocessing of the furnace flame image information specifically includes discretizing the collected furnace flame image information; the image discretization process specifically includes: dividing the collected image into a plurality of grids in the horizontal and vertical directions according to a preset sampling theorem in space, each grid is represented by a gray value, and the positional relationship between pixel points is represented by coordinates (x, y).

[0055] The grayscale value of the furnace flame image information after image discretization is quantified; specifically, the sampled image has been discretized into pixels in space after computer processing, but the pixel value is still a continuous value (non-integer), and it is necessary to quantize the grayscale value to convert it into a positive integer. The sampled value is expressed with the closest positive integer and converted into a finite discrete value.

[0056] The furnace flame image information after gray value quantization is compressed, specifically including compression processing through encoding.

[0057] Use the training samples to train the BP neural network model and generate the optimal BP neural network model;

[0058] The training of the BP neural network model to generate the optimal BP neural network model includes:

[0059] Obtaining flame feature vectors; specifically including: obtaining average grayscale and flame ratio;

[0060] The average grayscale reflects the average brightness of the flame. The flame image is stored in the computer in the form of grayscale, which can directly reflect the changes in the radiation energy signal in the furnace and is an important indicator of the combustion state. The average grayscale formula is:

[0061]

[0062] Where r<i<L, r represents the lowest grayscale threshold, L represents the highest grayscale threshold, I represents the average grayscale of the image, p(i) represents the probability of the i-th grayscale, and m represents the actual maximum grayscale of the image;

[0063] The flame ratio reflects the area ratio of the effective flame area in the image. The flame ratio formula is:

[0064]

[0065] Where A represents the flame ratio, S1 represents the assumed flame image area, and S2 represents the area of ​​the entire image.

[0066] The self-organizing competition network function is selected as the BP neural network model. The input model of the BP neural network model is P = [p1, p2 ..., pr], the output model is A = [a1, a2, ..., ar], and the weighted sum of the input layer is n i =∑WP, the weighted vector sum of the output layer is g i =∑Wa, if neuron i wins, then a=1, if neuron i wins, then the rest of the neurons are 0;

[0067] Specifically, if a neuron wins, it will add a positive value to the weight of the input layer connected to it, increasing its chance of winning. Otherwise, it will add a negative value, reducing its chance of winning. By inputting samples into the trained network, the samples are divided into different categories. The trained network can always successfully classify the input samples into the category that is closest to the identified category.

[0068] Put the training samples into the BP neural network model to train the BP neural network model;

[0069] Specifically, a burning stable picture from a previous project was selected, and the drying area, burning area and ember area were cut out from it, and divided into three pictures as the training basis, and a total of 30 groups of RGB grayscale values ​​were obtained as training samples. Five frames of image features were continuously selected at each moment to provide 25 vector network input samples. Figure 2 Figure 3 The figure shows the changes of sample vectors and network weights of the self-organizing competitive neural network before and after training, where x represents sample data and o represents network weights. After training, it can be clearly seen that the network has a good classification and recognition function, defining samples as dry area, burning area and burnt area.

[0070] The preprocessed furnace flame image information is calculated using the optimal BP neural network model to generate furnace flame control commands.

[0071] In addition, this embodiment uses the trained model to test a power plant, extracts 5 groups of continuous data per minute and inputs them into the trained neural network model for analysis. After continuous training, the competitive response is gathered into three areas, namely the drying area, the combustion area and the burnout area. It shows that the output of the trained model can already reflect the combustion situation of the boiler and distinguish the states under different working conditions. When running at full load, 90% of the sample points should be concentrated in the combustion area, and the drying area and the burnout area should be as fire-free as possible, that is, the samples should be gathered in these two areas as little as possible. If the number of samples gathered in the drying area increases, it is necessary to notify the control system to increase the combustion air volume and reduce the drying air volume. If the number of samples gathered in the burnout area increases, it is necessary to notify the control system to increase the combustion air volume and reduce the burnout air volume. Vice versa.

The following describes the device for analyzing the furnace flame of a garbage incineration plant based on an artificial neural network in an embodiment of the present invention.
