Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of MSWI process technology, and in particular to a multimodal data driven municipal solid waste incineration controlled object modeling method. Background Art
[0002] The MSWI process mechanism is complex and unclear, and its controlled plant model must be constructed based on multimodal data consisting of process data and flame images. Although some ACC systems are equipped with perishable optical equipment that can detect the flame line length in real time, this measurement value does not fully represent the flame combustion state. Excellent experts in my country can achieve precise flame combustion control in some cases through visual perception of flames. Building a comprehensive database for quantifying flame combustion states and achieving both local and global quantification based on the unevenly distributed or even missing multi-condition flame images found in industrial sites, combined with furnace structure and expert knowledge, remains an open problem. While historical data on actual MSWI processes is voluminous, the conditions they can represent are difficult to describe and unevenly distributed, resulting in poor data availability. Therefore, controlled plant modeling faces the problem of small sample sizes, which requires the use of relevant technologies. Furthermore, challenges remain: how to match process data and image data under multiple conditions, how to use numerical simulation software to obtain more comprehensive virtual (mechanistic) data than in-situ conditions, and how to fuse these data to construct a controlled plant model.
[0003] The flame combustion state within the incinerator is the primary objective of combustion process control. However, domestic video acquisition and transmission to a control center based on expert visual perception make it difficult to use as a controlled variable and support modeling. This necessitates the development of a comprehensive flame combustion image library and quantitative combustion state modeling to supplement the missing controlled variable detection values. In addition to the flame combustion state, the controlled variables of the MSWI process also include furnace temperature, oxygen content, and steam flow. While these controlled variables and their corresponding operational variables can be acquired in real time, the operating conditions they represent are difficult to describe and unevenly distributed. This necessitates numerical simulation, multi-condition analysis, and virtual data generation to obtain virtual data under multiple operating conditions. The MSWI process involves real image and process data, as well as generated virtual data. Research is needed on hybrid-driven controlled object modeling that integrates multi-source data to construct a multi-input, multi-output controlled object model that is interpretable and consistent with process mechanisms. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Specifically, based on the expert experience of field engineers, the geometric segmentation theory is used to qualitatively analyze the combustion characteristics (flame height, brightness and length) presented in the flame image. The quantitative value obtained by the first module is one of the outputs of the modeling of the third module. Then, the typical images are manually annotated to obtain a limited small sample data set. The flame image data is automatically calibrated using the visual Transformer. GAN is used in combination with the flame imaging mechanism to obtain atypical images. A complete flame combustion image quantization database is established. The calibrated complete flame combustion images are matched with the operational variables of the same time scale to obtain a training data set. A multi-input and multi-output deep forest regression (DFR) model that mixes multi-layer stacking learning and selective attention mechanism is constructed. Feature fusion is used in the output layer to realize the mapping between the local quantitative value and the comprehensive quantitative value of the flame combustion state. Based on the component attributes of MSW and M The combustion characteristics of the SWI process are analyzed for key factors, and multi-condition operation scenarios are designed based on domain expert knowledge. On this basis, a multi-factor and multi-level orthogonal experimental design is used to obtain an orthogonal test table. Considering the physical and chemical properties of solid-phase combustion, gas-phase fluid dynamics, and full-process mass-energy balance reactions contained in the MSWI process, a multi-numerical simulation software coupling strategy is used to construct a full-process simulation model. Experiments are carried out based on the orthogonal test table to obtain virtual (mechanism) data under multiple conditions. For the MSWI multi-condition virtual (mechanism) data obtained by multi-software coupling and the real data of benchmark conditions selected from industrial sites, a data fusion mechanism based on domain expert knowledge and virtual sample generation (VSG) technology are used to obtain a multi-scenario sample library for modeling. The serial integrated model structure is designed according to the process mechanism, and a multi-input and multi-output timing characteristic controlled object model is constructed based on the obtained sample library.
[0042] Furthermore, expert knowledge is used to calibrate flame combustion images. Based on domain expert knowledge and operational experience, flame combustion images are quantized based on geometric theory. The flame combustion state is quantized into three local quantization values of height, brightness, and length and one global quantization value of the flame combustion state. Then, the combustion image is manually labeled according to the four quantization targets to obtain a typical flame combustion image quantization dataset; the flame combustion image automatic calibration model takes the obtained typical image dataset as input, pre-processes the image through image linear block and linear mapping, and then trains and obtains a flame combustion image automatic calibration model that combines Transformer encoder and multi-layer perceptron; unlabeled flame combustion image For example, automatic calibration is performed to extract the frame rate of the flame video to obtain the flame combustion image data to be labeled, which is input into the automatic calibration model to obtain the calibrated flame combustion image quantization dataset; the mechanism knowledge and generative adversarial network (GAN) pseudo-label the atypical flame image quantization set, combined with the mapping mechanism of three-dimensional spatial imaging in the furnace, and the typical image dataset is used to obtain pseudo-labeled atypical images. Combined with the unlabeled flame image, the improved cycle consistency GAN and the generated image evaluation criterion are used to obtain the atypical image dataset; a complete flame combustion state quantization database is constructed, and the typical image dataset, the automatic calibration image dataset and the atypical image dataset are merged to obtain a complete flame combustion state quantization value database.
[0043] A dataset was constructed with the quantized value of the flame combustion state as the dependent variable (true value) and the wind and cloth operation variables as the independent variables; the DFR model structure was determined, including the type, number and number of stacked layers of the forest algorithm in each layer; the attention mechanism DFR model was selected to construct a multi-input and multi-output improved DFR model with the three local quantized values of flame height, brightness and length as output, and the selective attention mechanism was used between layers to improve the feature expression ability; the flame height, brightness and length values were fused, and a linear fusion strategy was adopted based on the three local quantized values of height, brightness and length, and the final global quantized value of the flame combustion state was obtained by combining the operation process state information.
[0044] Furthermore, the obtaining of virtual data under multiple working conditions includes:
[0045] Conduct MSW sampling and analyze MSW samples to obtain process input factors;
[0046] Obtain a multi-factor and multi-level orthogonal experimental table based on the multi-operating condition orthogonal experimental design and the process input factors;
[0047] Determine the boundary conditions for numerical simulation;
[0048] According to the numerical simulation boundary conditions, FLIC was used to simulate the solid-phase combustion of MSW on the grate to obtain the solid-phase combustion products.
[0049] Use FLUENT to simulate the gas phase combustion of MSW in the furnace and obtain the gas phase combustion products;
[0050] A solid-gas phase coupled combustion simulation is performed based on the solid-phase combustion products and the gas-phase combustion products. Based on the input conditions of the solid-gas phase coupled combustion simulation, ASPENPlus is used to simulate the material and energy balance of the entire process and virtual data under multiple working conditions are obtained according to a multi-factor and multi-level orthogonal experimental table.
[0051] Specifically, for MSW sampling, the fermented and dehydrated MSW is manually sampled based on the four-part method proposed in the "Methods for Sampling and Analysis of Municipal Waste" to obtain MSW samples for analysis; for MSWI process input factor analysis, the obtained MSW samples are tested offline to analyze the MSW calorific value (low calorific value), industrial analysis (moisture, ash, volatile matter, fixed carbon) and elemental analysis (C, H, O, N, S) data as well as the feasible intervals of MSW composition factors; for MSWI process operation factor analysis, based on the three states of low load, full load and overload, the possible operating conditions during the operation of the MSWI process are analyzed based on the knowledge of domain experts, and the feasible intervals of the operation factors are obtained; for multi-condition orthogonal experiment design, the MSW composition factors and operation factors are used as factors of the multi-condition orthogonal experiment, and the number of levels of the orthogonal experiment is calculated based on the feasible interval, and then the statistical analysis software is used to obtain the multi-factor and multi-level orthogonal experiment table to provide support for the full-process numerical simulation.
[0052] More specifically, determine the boundary conditions of numerical simulation, and perform numerical simulation on solid phase combustion, gas phase combustion and material energy balance according to the process design of actual MSWI process, and determine the input boundary conditions of orthogonal experiment based on the operation process; for MSW solid phase combustion simulation, use FLIC to simulate the solid phase combustion of MSW on the grate, obtain the flue gas data generated by solid phase combustion, the boundary conditions of gas phase combustion and the flue gas temperature and flue gas components required for material balance simulation; for MSW gas phase combustion simulation, use FLUENT to simulate the gas phase combustion of MSW in the furnace, obtain the furnace radiation data and material balance required for solid phase MSW combustion, and the gas temperature field, velocity field and concentration field required for simulation; for solid-gas coupled combustion simulation, interact with solid-gas phase combustion model until the boundary conditions and radiation data converge, and obtain the flue gas temperature, flue gas components, gas temperature field, velocity field and concentration field; for full process material balance simulation, use ASPEN based on the input conditions of solid-gas coupled combustion simulation. Plus simulates the material and energy balance of the entire process, obtains a numerical simulation model of the entire process, and generates furnace temperature, steam flow, oxygen content, and pollution emission data; conducts multi-condition orthogonal experimental research, and performs full-process numerical simulation according to the obtained multi-factor multi-level orthogonal experimental table, thereby generating virtual data under multiple conditions.
[0053] Furthermore, the initial flame combustion state global quantization value is input into the improved DFR combustion state quantization model in combination with the real process data to obtain the final flame combustion state global quantization value, including:
[0054] Acquire real process data and fuse multiple frames of flame video according to the time scale of the real process data to obtain a global quantized value of the initial flame combustion state;
[0055] The initial flame combustion state global quantization value is input into the improved DFR combustion state quantization model and aligned with the real process data to perform data combination to obtain the final flame combustion state global quantization value.

Combined with the flame combustion image complete database constructed in the previous article, the same strategy as above is used to expand the local and global quantitative values of flame combustion to obtain complete distribution data under multiple virtual single conditions; multi-condition data scenario Classification, in order to restore the real MSWI process operation state, based on the domain expert knowledge and MSWI process operation characteristics, in accordance with the multi-scenario requirements and data time series, the multi-condition virtual data and the benchmark real process data are mixed and recombined to obtain multi-condition time series data under multiple scenarios; the multi-input and multi-output controlled object model structure design, according to the MSWI process flow, the serial integrated output model structure is designed, the order is: flame combustion state → furnace temperature → steam flow → oxygen content; in the flame combustion state model part, the air distribution and material distribution control quantity is used as input to construct the first layer of LSTM, and the flame combustion state quantization value output is obtained.
