Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electric power operation and maintenance, and specifically relates to a fuel area inspection method and system for a thermal power plant. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the power industry, thermal power plants, as an important part of energy supply, have a safe and stable operation that is of great significance to ensuring power supply and promoting social and economic development. As one of the core areas of a thermal power plant, the operation status of the fuel area is directly related to the overall operating efficiency and safety of the thermal power plant. Therefore, the inspection of the fuel area is particularly important. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, traditional inspection methods have been unable to meet the management needs of the fuel area of ​​thermal power plants. In order to improve the efficiency and quality of inspection work and ensure the safe operation of the fuel area. The use of advanced inspection methods and system design has become an important task at present.

[0003] In actual work, the traditional manual inspection method requires inspectors to carry a variety of equipment and manually record inspection data, resulting in low inspection efficiency and prone to errors; the fuel area usually stores a large amount of fuel, posing safety hazards such as fire and explosion. It is difficult to discover and deal with potential safety issues in real time during the inspection process; inspection data is usually recorded in paper form, which is difficult to manage and analyze uniformly, and cannot provide scientific decision-making support for the operation of the fuel area.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a fuel area inspection method and system for a thermal power plant to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The above information disclosed in this background technology is only used to increase the understanding of the background technology of the present invention and therefore, it may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fuel area inspection method and system for a thermal power plant to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A fuel area inspection system for a thermal power plant comprises: a task management module, an inspection assessment module, a hidden danger handling module, a position management module, a route planning module, and a fault reporting module. The task management module assigns the generated inspection tasks to corresponding inspection personnel for execution according to user information. The inspection assessment module automatically analyzes and counts the inspection data to generate detailed and summary reports. The hidden danger handling module formulates a maintenance order to handle abnormal equipment and hidden dangers as soon as possible. The position management module records the real-time position information, travel trajectory and corresponding communication time of the inspection personnel. The route planning module formulates a reasonable inspection route on an electronic map to improve the efficiency of the inspection work. The fault reporting module transmits pictures or video files collected on site back to the system to facilitate the administrator to grasp the real dynamics of the site.

[0009] Preferably, the task management module formulates a safety inspection operation process based on the dual prevention mechanism of safety risk classification management and hidden danger investigation and treatment, uses priority combined with routing algorithm to determine the optimal task path and allocation strategy, and realizes data interaction with relevant personnel through a visual task interface.

[0010] Safety risk classification and control: First, conduct a comprehensive risk identification of the fuel area, including identifying various hazardous factors that may cause accidents or damages. Then use the risk matrix to conduct a risk assessment to evaluate the likelihood and severity of each potential risk. After that, the identified risks are classified into different levels according to their likelihood and severity. For each risk level, formulate corresponding control measures. At the same time, establish a monitoring mechanism to regularly check and evaluate the actual situation and control effects of safety risks, adjust and improve control measures according to actual conditions, and ensure their continued effectiveness.

[0011] Preferably, the inspection and assessment module uses data mining to extract key patterns, trends or anomalies from a large amount of inspection data to help understand the performance and work quality of inspection personnel, and proposes improvement strategies based on the analysis results, including path optimization, task scheduling optimization, inspection personnel training and incentives, to improve overall inspection efficiency and quality.

[0012] Preferably, the location management module uses a WiFi-based positioning method to accurately track the location of patrol personnel, integrates the location data of patrol personnel into the main console of the system to display their current location and movement direction in real time, and sets up a location anomaly alarm mechanism to promptly notify relevant personnel for processing and investigation.

[0013] Preferably, the route planning module uses GIS to analyze the geographical data of the fuel area to determine the best inspection route, reduce the waste of time and resources, integrate real-time data sources, such as real-time monitoring systems or sensor data, so as to respond instantly to changing environmental conditions, dynamically adjust the inspection route and record the actual walking path and execution status of the inspectors.

[0014] Use GIS to divide the thermal power plant into different areas, and set specific inspection routes and requirements for each area. When inspectors enter or leave a specific area, reminders or records are automatically triggered, making it easier for managers to monitor inspection progress and location.

[0015] Preferably, the fault reporting module uses natural language processing technology to analyze the fault description and identify the fault type, assigns priority according to the impact, urgency and expected processing time of the fault, automatically creates work orders and assigns them to relevant personnel, while tracking the processing progress. The hidden danger processing module uses genetic algorithms to automatically assign fault work orders to appropriate maintenance personnel to improve response speed and efficiency.

[0016] Preferably, the system also includes a data management module, which is responsible for data acquisition, storage, and analysis, and provides data support for the formulation and execution of operational decisions. It is tightly integrated with the task management module, and the report data after the inspection is completed will automatically enter the system database for subsequent analysis and monitoring.
