Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of industrial Internet and energy management technology, and in particular to a method for realizing automatic gas scheduling based on a converter gas prediction model. Background Art

[0002] In the steel production process, converter gas is a high-value energy produced as a byproduct of the steelmaking process. Its main components include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc., and it is an important fuel for heating and power generation within steel enterprises. Within steel enterprises, gas tanks are important equipment for storing converter gas, and the volatility of their storage capacity (i.e., changes in gas tank positions) directly reflects the balance of gas supply and demand. Among them, the amount of converter gas produced is affected by many factors, such as the type of raw materials, process parameters in the steelmaking process, and the operating status of the equipment. The volatility of these factors makes it difficult to accurately predict the output of gas. At the same time, the demand for gas consumption will also fluctuate due to adjustments to production plans, changes in equipment operating conditions, etc. At present, there are some data-driven scheduling systems, such as gas scheduling through simple statistical models or empirical rules.

[0003] However, the existing converter gas scheduling methods have several technical defects. First, the traditional manual experience scheduling method has low prediction accuracy for gas, which is difficult to adapt to these fluctuations, thus affecting production stability; second, the gas tank capacity is limited and is subject to strict operating procedures, and the traditional scheduling method lacks accurate prediction and dynamic scheduling of gas tank positions; finally, most gas scheduling systems rely on linear models or simple empirical algorithms, which are difficult to handle complex and variable data in gas production and consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method for realizing automatic gas scheduling based on the converter gas prediction model. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for realizing automatic gas scheduling based on a converter gas prediction model, so as to more actively and accurately distribute and utilize gas according to potential supply and demand imbalance problems, ensure the continuity and stability of the production process, and improve energy utilization efficiency.

[0044] 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.

[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for realizing gas automatic scheduling based on a converter gas prediction model, comprising the following steps:

[0047] Step 100: collecting production data in the converter production process, and performing preprocessing operations on the production data to obtain preprocessed data.

[0048] Specifically, production data is obtained through PLC control systems, sensors, flow meters and other equipment. Production data includes: gas generation flow, gas consumption flow and gas tank storage capacity, as well as temperature, pressure, flow and other related parameters of the converter gas system.

[0049] Specifically, the preprocessing operation includes: cleaning the production data, removing noise and outliers in the production data, and normalizing the production data. The preprocessing operation ensures the accuracy and consistency of the data, and also enables data of different dimensions to be effectively analyzed in the same model.

[0050] Step 200: Perform a data selection operation on the pre-processed data to obtain input data.

[0051] It should be noted that in the process of selecting input data, the main basis is to ensure that the selected data can fully and accurately reflect the key factors affecting the change of converter gas tank position, so as to improve the accuracy and robustness of the prediction model. The specific selection steps are as follows:

[0052] First, determine the variables in the production data that can affect the size of the converter gas tank, including:

[0053] Gas production is the core factor affecting the gas tank position. This parameter directly determines the filling rate of the gas tank and is therefore the key input data of the model.

[0054] Gas tank pressure is also a core factor affecting the gas tank position, and is positively correlated with the tank position.

[0055] Gas consumption. The gas consumption in different production links will affect the storage level of the gas tank. Therefore, this parameter is also an important factor affecting the changes in gas tank positions.

[0056] The initial position of the gas tank determines the basic level of the gas tank at the beginning of scheduling and has a direct impact on subsequent predictions.

[0057] Process parameters are parameters such as the type of raw materials, furnace temperature, furnace pressure, etc. used by gas consumers. These parameters will indirectly affect the gas generation and consumption flow. Combining these process parameters with the main parameters such as gas generation flow, gas consumption flow, gas tank pressure, and gas tank initial position can capture more details of changes in the production process.

[0058] Equipment status parameters, the operating status of the equipment (such as whether it is running under optimal conditions) will affect the efficiency of gas generation and consumption. Introducing these parameters can improve the adaptability of the model to actual production conditions.

[0059] Historical data trends, time series features in historical data (such as changing trends and periodic fluctuations in gas cabinet positions) can capture some potential rules and be used to improve the predictive ability of the model.

[0060] Secondly, the correlation of each variable in the determined production data is calculated, and the variables with high correlation are selected to obtain the screening data. By calculating and screening the correlation, the parameters with large noise are eliminated, so that the variables input into the model have good stability and robustness.

[0061] Then, the principal component analysis method is used to reduce the dimension and extract features of the screened data to obtain the variable characteristics of each variable in the screened data, thereby simplifying the model input, avoiding the interference of redundant variables, and improving the prediction accuracy of the model.

[0062] Finally, the input data of the neural network model are selected according to the variable characteristics. The specific input data selected include: gas generation flow, residual oxygen content in gas, carbon monoxide content in gas, gas consumption flow of converter, gas consumption flow and load of generator sets in converter gas system, pressure of converter gas tank and pressure of gas main network in converter gas system.

[0063] Step 300: Use the trained neural network model to predict the input data and obtain the prediction result. Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0064] Step 301: Divide the historical data of the converter production process into a training set and a test set. The specific steps are: extract 4,000 groups of samples from the historical data of the converter production process, use the first 2,000 groups of samples as the training set of the model, and use the last 2,000 groups of samples as the test set of the model. This division ensures that the model can fully learn the characteristics of the data during training and verify its prediction ability during testing.

[0065] Step 302: Use the training set to train the BP neural network model, and adjust the weights and biases of the model through the back propagation algorithm, thereby optimizing the model parameters.

[0066] Specifically, the BP neural network model is a multi-layer feedforward neural network model trained based on the error back propagation algorithm. It performs self-learning through the gradient descent method, can realize nonlinear mapping between input and output, is used to solve various problems such as classification and regression, and can learn complex functional relationships through a large amount of training data. The structure of the BP neural network model includes an input layer, a hidden layer (can have multiple) and an output layer. Each layer is composed of multiple neurons, which are connected by weights and transmit information to each other under the action of an activation function. In the forward propagation process, the input data is passed to the hidden layer after being weighted and processed by the activation function, and finally to the output layer. If the predicted value of the output layer does not match the expected value, it will enter the error back propagation process, and the weights between the layers will be continuously adjusted by the gradient descent method to reduce the error.

[0067] Step 303: The BP neural network model is evaluated and predicted using the test set, and the error between the predicted result and the actual result is calculated.

[0068] Step 304: Analyze the error between the preliminary result and the actual result using the mean square error algorithm and the mean absolute error algorithm to obtain an analysis result.

[0069] Step 305: Adjust the preliminary model according to the analysis results (such as increasing the number of hidden layer nodes, adjusting the learning rate, etc.) to obtain a trained neural network model.

[0070] Step 306: Input the input data into the trained neural network model for prediction to obtain a prediction result.

[0071] Specifically, the prediction result is the 30-minute offset of the gas tank position; the calculation formula of the offset is: Q = GH t+30 -GH middle ; where Q is the offset, GH t+30 It is the gas tank value after 30 minutes, GH middle It is the middle counter value.

[0072] Step 400: Adjust gas consumption and storage according to the prediction results.

[0073] Specifically, when it is predicted that the gas tank level will approach the upper limit in 30 minutes, priority is given to reducing gas output or increasing gas consumption to avoid gas tank level over-limit; when it is predicted that the gas tank level will approach the lower limit in 30 minutes, gas production is increased or gas consumption is reduced to ensure a stable gas supply. By dynamically adjusting the gas flow, the storage volume in the gas tank is maintained within a reasonable range, preventing energy waste or production interruptions.

[0074] It should be noted that the specific steps for adjusting the generation and consumption of gas according to the prediction results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0075] Step 401: Calculate the boiler offset elimination adjustment rate. The specific calculation formula is: q t =Q / Δt; where q t is the adjustment rate, and Δt is the adjustment time.

[0076] Step 402: Determine the adjustment rate q t Whether it exceeds the maximum adjustment rate q allowed by the boiler max , and make a first correction to the adjustment rate according to the judgment result to obtain a first correction rate. The specific steps are:

[0077] When t >q max When q t Corrected to the maximum adjustment rate, so that q t2 =q max ;

[0078] When t <-q max When q t Corrected to the negative maximum regulation rate, so that q t2 =—q max ;

[0079] When -q max ≦q t ≦q max When q t2 =q t .

[0080] Step 403: Adjust the converter gas consumption flow rate for the first time according to the adjustment rate after the first correction, and determine whether the adjusted converter gas consumption flow rate is within the maximum converter gas consumption flow rate q of the boiler. gl.max Minimum consumption flow rate of converter gas with boiler q gl.min The first adjustment rate is corrected for the second time according to the judgment result. The specific steps are: the first correction rate, the second correction rate and the current converter gas consumption flow are respectively recorded as q t2 ,q t3 and q gl.0 .

[0081] When gl,0 +q t2 >q gl,max When q t3 =q gl,max -q gl,0 ;

[0082] When gl,0 +q t2 <q gl,min When q t3 =q gl,0 -q gl,min ;

[0083] When gl,min ≦q gl,0 +q t2 ≦q gl,max When q t3 =q t2 .

[0084] Step 404: Adjust gas consumption and storage according to the second correction rate.

[0085] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0086] 1) Realizes real-time monitoring and automatic dispatching of converter gas, ensuring the continuity of production;

[0087] 2) It realizes efficient use of energy and effectively avoids waste of resources or production interruption caused by too high or too low gas tank level;

[0088] 3) Training the BP neural network model and using the trained model for prediction greatly improves the prediction accuracy and efficiency.

[0089] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
