Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of boiler control, and in particular relates to a method and system for establishing a two-dimensional mechanism model of a boiler steam-water side. Background Art
[0002] Boilers are core equipment in the power and industrial fields, and their efficient and safe operation directly affects energy utilization and production costs. In modern complex boiler systems, precise control of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow is crucial to achieving optimal operation of the boiler. In addition, in the boiler system, the thermodynamic process on the steam-water side has an important impact on the overall performance of the boiler. Traditional boiler control methods often rely on experience and simple control algorithms, which are difficult to cope with the complex thermodynamic processes and nonlinear characteristics inside the boiler. In addition, existing boiler modeling methods are usually based on one-dimensional models, which cannot fully capture the complex multidimensional characteristics inside the boiler, resulting in limited prediction accuracy for actual operating conditions. In order to improve the precise control capability of boiler operation, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to establish an accurate two-dimensional mechanism model of the boiler steam-water side and to provide a detailed description and dynamic prediction of the boiler operating status; therefore, it is particularly important to invent a method for establishing a two-dimensional mechanism model of the boiler steam-water side.
[0003] The existing method for establishing a two-dimensional mechanism model on the steam-water side of a boiler has an inefficient decision-making process and cannot flexibly handle the complex coupling relationship between different regions, which reduces the applicability of the model. In addition, the existing method for establishing a two-dimensional mechanism model on the steam-water side of a boiler has low energy efficiency, stability and economy, and requires more human intervention, which reduces the overall operating efficiency and environmental performance of the boiler.

After each simulation, evaluate the current optimal path and compare it with the previous optimal strategy to determine the optimization effect. According to the stability of the optimal strategy and the trend of the change in benefits, determine whether the search has converged. If the strategy change value is within the preset range in multiple iterations, it is considered that the optimal control strategy has been achieved.

After each simulation, the current optimal path is evaluated and compared with the previous optimal strategy to determine the optimization effect. After the iteration, the path with the highest benefit is extracted and used as the optimal control strategy. The extracted optimal control strategy is then converted into actual control instructions and applied to the distributed control system of the boiler to optimize the temperature of each area. At the same time, various key indicators of the boiler in actual operation are recorded in real time.

[0027] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for establishing a two-dimensional mechanism model of a boiler steam-water side, and the specific steps of the model establishment method are as follows: Comprehensively collect and pre-process various boiler operation data.
[0028] Specifically, the temperature and flow data of each area of the boiler collected by each group of sensors are obtained from the DCS system, and it is checked whether there are missing values in the data set. If so, the missing values are filled by interpolation or mean filling method. Then, the outliers in the data are detected by box plot, and the outliers are replaced or eliminated. The duplicate records that may exist in the data set are checked and removed, and then the units and formats of various data are unified. Various types of data are unified through minimum-maximum normalization processing to unify the data range to between 0 and 1. According to the physical structure and thermodynamic characteristics of the boiler, the boundaries of different physical areas of the boiler are determined. According to the physical position and data characteristics of each sensor obtained by the DCS system, the collected sensor data are mapped to the corresponding boiler area, and the boiler area to which it belongs is marked in each record of the data set.
[0029] A two-dimensional discrete model of each area of the boiler is established based on the operating data.
[0030] Specifically, the overall structure of the boiler is analyzed to identify the physical location and function of each area. According to the boiler design drawings and operating characteristics, three sets of three-dimensional boundaries of height, width and depth of each area are determined, and then the boundary information between the areas is obtained. At the same time, the three-dimensional space inside the boiler is mapped into various functional areas to form a preliminary regional division model. The total volume of each area is calculated according to the boundary size of each area in the regional division model. According to the total size of the area and the preset cell size, the number of cells to be divided in each direction is calculated, and the cell boundaries are evenly distributed in each direction of the area to obtain a grid system composed of multiple groups of cubic cells. Each grid node and cell are numbered according to the spatial coordinate order in the grid system. After the grid division is completed, a discretized model of each area of the boiler is obtained, and the consistency and quality of the grid are checked. Then, the node coordinates, cell number and boundary information of the grid are output as a file, and the model grid data is stored and backed up.
[0031] Based on the established two-dimensional discretization modeling of each boiler area, the temperature distribution of each boiler area is predicted and the temperature control strategy of each area is formulated.
[0032] Specifically, the operating state of the boiler is taken as an element of the state space, where each state represents the overall operating status of the boiler at each moment, and the action space of the control strategy is constructed according to the adjustable control variables of the boiler. At the same time, different actions in the action space are constructed according to different combinations of the control variables. According to the current operating state of the boiler, a set of root nodes are initialized, and based on the root node, each set of action strategies that can be used is selected from the action space, and the operating state of the state space corresponding to each action strategy is obtained. Based on the selected action strategy and the corresponding boiler operating state, a corresponding number of child nodes are constructed. Starting from the root node, the UCB value of each child node is calculated, and a strategy is selected according to the upper confidence limit. The child node with the highest UCB value is repeatedly selected, and the selection is performed downward layer by layer until an incompletely expanded node is reached, and the incompletely expanded nodes reached during the selection process are expanded. In the current state, an action that has not been explored is selected, and a new state is obtained after applying the action, and a new node is added to the tree. From the expansion Starting from the node, randomly select actions for simulation until the set time point or temperature target is reached, and evaluate the temperature change of the boiler under this action sequence, calculate the benefit of the path, and backpropagate the simulated benefit information back to the entire path, update the number of visits and average benefit values of each node on the path, repeat the selection, expansion, simulation and backtracking steps, evaluate the current optimal path after each simulation, and compare it with the previous optimal strategy to judge the optimization effect, judge whether the search converges according to the stability of the optimal strategy and the change trend of the benefit, if the strategy change value is within the preset range in multiple iterations, it is considered that the optimal control strategy is reached, extract the path with the highest benefit, and use it as the optimal control strategy, then convert the extracted optimal control strategy into actual control instructions, and apply it to the distributed control system of the boiler to optimize the temperature of each area, and at the same time record the key indicators of the boiler in actual operation in real time, and readjust the control strategy according to the actual operation effect.
[0033] In this embodiment, the operating status of the boiler specifically includes the real-time temperature, pressure, fuel flow, air flow, flue gas composition, steam flow and water level of the boiler combustion zone, burnout zone, water-cooled wall zone, screen pass zone, high pass / high re-zone and low pass / low re-zone; the adjustable control variables of the boiler specifically include fuel supply, air volume control, blower speed, smoke exhaust fan speed, feed water flow, recycled flue gas volume and burner position; the key indicators specifically include outlet steam temperature, boiler efficiency, emission indicators, fuel consumption, steam pressure and heat load distribution.
[0034] Example 3 Reference Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for establishing a two-dimensional mechanism model of a boiler steam-water side, and the specific steps of the model establishment method are as follows: According to the temperature control strategy of each area, a virtual boiler operation model is constructed and the boiler control decision is dynamically optimized.
[0035] Specifically, the historical operation data, control parameters and environmental variables of the boiler are collected from the DCS system, and after preprocessing each group of data, the physical structure and working principle of the boiler in the data are extracted, and the heat transfer, mass transfer equations and fluid flow equations of each part of the boiler are compiled to construct the corresponding boiler physical model, and the boundary conditions and initial conditions of the model are set according to the actual operating conditions of the boiler. The three-dimensional structural model of the boiler is drawn using computer-aided design software, and the boiler model is meshed in three-dimensional space and decomposed into many small units. The mesh density is adjusted according to the characteristics of each area of the boiler, and the input parameters and solution accuracy of the simulation model are set according to the actual parameters of the boiler to complete the construction of the virtual boiler operation model, collect the key variables of the boiler operation conditions simulated by the virtual boiler operation model, and form the state space of the boiler with different combinations of each group of variables, and then list the adjustable control variables in the boiler operation, and each action corresponds to adjusting one or more control variables, and construct the corresponding action space, and analyze the effects of taking different actions under different states according to the historical operation data. , the probability distribution of the boiler's possible transfer to other states, and determine the transfer probability of each state through frequency statistics. Then, the current optimal control strategy is used as the starting point, and the strategy is applied to all possible states, and a complete initial strategy table is constructed. The Bellman equation is used to calculate the total return expected to be obtained by following the current strategy in different states, and then the value function of each state is calculated recursively until the change of the value function is less than the preset threshold. At the same time, in each iteration, according to the current strategy and state transfer probability, the value function of each state is updated, the value function of different actions under each state is compared, and the action with the highest value function result is selected, and the action in the original strategy is replaced by the optimal action, and the optimal action selected in each state is recorded to form an updated strategy table, and then the iteration is repeated, and the current strategy is compared with the strategy in the previous iteration. If the actions in all states no longer change, it means that the strategy converges and the iteration process is terminated. Otherwise, the iteration continues, the optimal strategy is converted into an operational control instruction, and a simulation test is performed.
[0036] The virtual boiler operation model is validated by implementing optimized control decisions and collecting actual operation data.
[0037] Based on the verification results, the boiler operating status is monitored in real time and the boiler control strategy is adjusted dynamically.
