Low-temperature heat rods use the principle of heat conduction to achieve one-way heat conduction by converting the internal working fluid (such as liquid ammonia) between gas and liquid, so they cannot accurately control temperature regulation. Heating rods mostly use simple mechanical switches or electronic temperature control devices to control the heating process. These methods can achieve temperature regulation to a certain extent, but there are many shortcomings.

[0059] Step 2: The data collected by the sensor group in step 1 is transmitted to the data acquisition and processing module in the intelligent control unit, and outliers are removed from the original data. In this project, the accuracy and completeness of the data must be ensured at all times.

[0060] Step 3: The processed data is processed and predicted using an adaptive control algorithm in the intelligent control unit and intelligently analyzed and controlled. The specific steps are as follows:

[0061] Step 3-1: Parameter estimation

[0077] Step 3-2: Control coefficient adjustment

[0078] Based on the parameter estimation results and real-time data, a control strategy can be designed to adjust the heating power of the nano-thermal rods to adjust the ambient soil temperature. This system can use Model Predictive Control (MPC) to optimize the control strategy.

In a heat rod system, MPC can be used to adjust the operating state of the heat rod (such as turning it on / off or adjusting the power) to achieve the desired soil temperature.

[0080] In this system, a simple conceptual framework can be adopted, which is expressed as follows:

[0081]

[0085] Step 5: The system transmits data to the remote monitoring platform in real time, so that the system operation status, frozen soil status and tower foundation settlement status can be viewed in real time. The remote platform can also regularly maintain and upgrade the system to ensure long-term stable operation of the system.
