Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a sintering fuel ratio optimization method, in particular to a sintering fuel ratio optimization method based on data mining and a system and a memory thereof, and belongs to the field of iron ore sintering production. Background Art
[0002] As the first process in steel production, sintering accounts for about 8% of the total energy consumption of steel production, and carbon emissions account for about 17% of the total emissions of steel production, while solid fuel consumption accounts for 80% of the process energy consumption. Therefore, improving the regulation level of solid fuels and reducing the energy consumption and carbon emissions of sintering processes are of great significance to the intelligent, green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the steel industry.
[0003] At present, the solid fuel ratio in the sintering production process is mainly regulated and decided by the operators based on their production operation experience. The advantage of manual experience operation is that the regulation accuracy is high, but there are also differences in the experience accumulation and operation habits of different operators, as well as the lack of timeliness of regulation. Researchers have also tried to use artificial intelligence technologies such as neural networks and expert systems to predict and regulate fuel ratios. For example, scholars use principal component analysis to select parameters such as the rising point of exhaust gas temperature, the position of the sintering end point, and the machine speed as input variables, and establish a carbon ratio regulation model through the multivariate linear regression method. This method has poor interpretability and cannot be understood by operators. Some scholars have also proposed a relationship model between the optimal fuel ratio and the amount of returned ore to achieve rough adjustment of the fuel ratio. Combined with the expert rule adjustment table, the fuel ratio is fine-tuned according to the current average temperature of the burn-through point. The main difficulty of this type of fuel ratio expert system is the update of rules and the adaptability of expert rules to different production conditions and different production sites.
[0004] Therefore, a method and system for optimizing the sintering fuel ratio based on data mining is established, which can mine the fuel ratio optimization control rules according to the actual production data of different production sites. When the rule base is applied to the actual production site, the appropriate fuel ratio setting can be inferred according to the actual production situation, providing reasonable and highly explainable optimization suggestions for the production process, and providing powerful assistance for optimizing the production process and reducing production energy consumption. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the first purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for optimizing the sintering fuel ratio based on data mining. The method obtains a rule base for optimizing the fuel ratio by means of data mining, and extracts the fuel ratio optimization control rules according to the actual production data of the sintering process, which effectively solves the problem that the control rules in the prior art are complex and difficult to implement on the production site, and has the advantages of convenient operation and simple process.
[0006] The second object of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable memory, which contains a computer program for implementing the above-mentioned uniformity control method and can be read and executed.
[0007] The third object of the present invention is to provide a sintering fuel ratio optimization system based on data mining. The system uses rule reasoning to give fuel ratio optimization and control suggestions, and can give corresponding explanations for the fuel ratio optimization and control suggestions, avoiding the disadvantage of poor solvability of the black box model. In the actual application process, it can provide operators with rich production condition information and reliable fuel ratio optimization suggestions.
[0008] To achieve the above technical purpose, a sintering fuel ratio optimization method based on data mining includes the following steps:

[0021] As a preferred solution, the cluster center is obtained from the analysis of historical production data through a fuzzy clustering algorithm, and the specific steps are: obtaining historical data of corresponding parameters, obtaining a data set after preprocessing, and then dividing it through a fuzzy clustering algorithm.

[0024] ii) The association rules of fuel ratio intervals under different operation modes, permeability states and heat levels in historical data are mined through fuzzy association rule algorithm to form a fuel ratio optimization rule base.
[0025] As a preferred solution, the screening process of the optimal fuel ratio control amount is: taking the end point of the control rule output interval as the reference value to be output, normalizing the confidence of the rule as the proportion of the rule, and outputting the final setting value of the fuel ratio after defuzzification. The specific calculation process is as follows:
[0026] Formula 2: out=l1*Result(Rulexxx) mid +l2*Result(Ruleyyy) mid ;

[0059] (1) According to the method of step 1 above, the currently input material layer thickness, trolley speed and main exhaust fan frequency (the average of the dual main exhaust fan frequencies) are shown in Table 1.
[0060] Table 1 Key operating parameters for input
[0061]
[0062] According to the historical production data, the operation modes are divided into four categories. The corresponding cluster centers are shown in Table 2. The Euclidean distance between the current operation parameters and the cluster centers is calculated (the calculation formula is shown in Formula 1). It can be seen from Table 2 that the Euclidean distance between the current production operation mode and operation mode I is the shortest, and it is judged that the current operation mode belongs to operation mode I.

[0065]
[0066] (2) According to the method in step 2 above, the four-dimensional characteristic state parameters of the current mixture moisture, No. 1 wind box negative pressure, large flue negative pressure and sintering end point position are collected, as shown in Table 3.
[0067] Table 3 Input characteristic state parameters
[0068]
[0069] The cluster center of the permeability state is also obtained through fuzzy clustering training of historical data, as shown in Table 4. The Euclidean distance between the four characteristic parameters of the current mixture moisture, 1# wind box negative pressure, large flue negative pressure and sintering end position and each cluster center is calculated. It can be seen that the Euclidean distance between the current characteristic state and the permeability state II is the shortest, and the current permeability state is judged to belong to Class II.

[0071]
[0072] (3) According to the method in step 3 above, the three-dimensional temperature characteristics of the current flue exhaust temperature, the 22# wind box exhaust temperature and the ring cooling section I exhaust temperature are collected, as shown in Table 5.
[0073] Table 5 Input temperature characteristic parameters
[0074]
[0075] The cluster centers of heat levels are trained from historical production data, as shown in Table 6. At the same time, the Euclidean distance between the current input temperature characteristic parameters and each cluster center is calculated, and it is identified that the heat level of the current production process belongs to Class II.

[0077]
[0078]
[0079] (4) According to step 4, the three groups of state values, namely, operation mode, air permeability state, and fuel ratio optimization, are used as rule antecedents, and the fuel ratio optimization control rules are matched from the rule base using fuzzy logic reasoning. The matching rules are shown in Table 7. The optimal fuel ratio control amount is output.
[0080] Table 7 Fuel ratio optimization setting rules matched under current production conditions
[0081]
[0082] The end point of the rule output interval is used as the reference value to be output, the confidence of the rule is normalized as the proportion of the rule, and the final setting value of the fuel ratio is output after defuzzification. The specific calculation process is as follows:
[0083] Formula 2: out=l1*Result(Rulexxx) mid +l2*Result(Ruleyyy) mid ;
[0084] Formula 3:
[0085] Formula 4:
[0086] Result is the result of the acquisition rule, cost is the setting interval of the fuel ratio in the acquisition rule, and the mid operation is to take the median of the interval.
[0087] Based on the above operations, the fuel ratio should be set to:
[0088] out=0.52*3.2+0.48*3.1=3.152
[0089] The results of this example show that the sintering fuel ratio setting given by the present invention is relatively consistent with the actual adjustment value of the on-site operator when the sintering conditions are good. It can replace the operator to a certain extent and can adjust the sintering fuel ratio setting value more quickly, thereby achieving the purpose of stabilizing the sintering conditions. It has important application value and economic value for sintering production and is practical.
[0090] As a rule-based optimization setting system for the amount of water added to sintered mixture, it is composed of: a programmable logic controller, a sintering fuel bin gate controller, a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and running on the processor. It is characterized in that the programmable logic controller collects production process data, and the processor implements the above control method when executing the computer program, and the fuel cut-out gate opening setting amount is finally output to the sintering fuel bin gate controller. The computer program in the memory is compiled in Java language, and the program visualization interface is as follows Figure 3 shown.
[0091] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the enlightenment of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the purpose of the present invention and the claims, which all belong to the protection of the present invention.
