Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of diesel generator sets, and in particular to an intelligent monitoring and protection method for diesel generator sets. Background Art

[0002] Diesel generator sets are widely used in industrial, commercial and residential areas for backup power supply, especially in areas with unstable power systems or insufficient power supply. Their role is crucial. However, diesel generator sets will face problems such as low efficiency, excessive emissions and equipment aging during long-term operation. These problems will not only reduce power generation efficiency, but also increase environmental pollution and equipment maintenance costs. Therefore, how to improve the operating efficiency of diesel generator sets, reduce exhaust emissions and ensure equipment safety has become a key issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the industry.

[0003] At present, the operating status monitoring and management of diesel generator sets mainly rely on manual inspections and regular maintenance, which are subject to problems of monitoring lag and untimely response. Although some intelligent monitoring systems have been used to monitor the basic operating data of the units (such as speed, temperature, load, etc.), these systems often lack real-time monitoring of exhaust gas components, making it difficult to comprehensively evaluate the combustion efficiency and emission levels of the units. In addition, most existing monitoring systems cannot timely analyze and automatically optimize the combustion process, resulting in low combustion efficiency, excessive emissions, and even possible failures or equipment damage. Existing fault diagnosis methods are usually limited to post-analysis and cannot effectively prevent and solve problems in a timely manner, making it impossible to achieve efficient, low-emission, and safe intelligent operation.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent monitoring and protection method for diesel generator sets, which can ensure that the unit is always in an efficient, safe and environmentally friendly operating state through data preprocessing, combustion efficiency evaluation, combustion parameter adjustment and other means, and provide an energy-saving, emission-reducing, environmentally friendly and intelligent diesel generator set management solution.

[0141] Collect historical data and normal operating parameters: Collect historical data of diesel generator sets under normal operating conditions, including speed, load, voltage, temperature, combustion efficiency and exhaust gas composition;

[0142] Calculate the standard deviation of normal operating parameters based on historical data: Calculate the standard deviation of each parameter based on historical data under normal operating conditions, expressed as:

[0143]

[0144] Among them, x i is the value of the parameter of item i in the historical data, μ is the mean value of the parameter under normal working conditions, σ x is the standard deviation of the parameter, and N is the number of historical data points;

[0145] Define the fault threshold: Set the fault threshold based on the standard deviation of historical data to measure whether the difference between the data point and the cluster exceeds the normal range, expressed as:

[0146] Fault threshold = μ + k·σ x ;

[0147] Among them, μ is the mean of historical data, k is a constant (set to 2 or 3), σ x is the standard deviation of historical data;

[0148] Through the above content, the normal operating mode and potential abnormal state of the unit under different operating conditions can be effectively identified. By comparing the newly collected data with the clustering results, it is possible to accurately determine whether abnormal conditions such as decreased combustion efficiency, excessive emissions or equipment failure have occurred. In addition, the k-means clustering model has strong adaptive capabilities and can dynamically adjust the cluster division according to changes in data to adapt to different working environments and load conditions, thereby improving the accuracy and real-time performance of fault diagnosis. At the same time, by setting appropriate fault thresholds, it can sensitively identify subtle changes in unit operation and provide early warning of potential faults, avoiding the lag and misjudgment rate of traditional methods. This not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of fault diagnosis, but also reduces maintenance costs and extends the service life of equipment.

[0149] The intelligent protection and fault alarm in S5 include:

[0150] S51, abnormal state triggering alarm: When the diesel generator set is identified as being in an abnormal state, the alarm is automatically triggered and the relevant operators are notified through the visual interface, SMS, and email;

[0151] S52, start protection measures: After the alarm is triggered, the corresponding protection measures will be automatically started according to the type of abnormal state, including:

[0152] Load Limitation: If combustion efficiency decreases or emissions exceed standards, the unit load will be automatically reduced to prevent further damage or excessive emissions;

[0153] Adjust operating parameters: If abnormal operation of the equipment is found, adjust the operating parameters (such as injection amount, injection timing, air supply, etc.) to optimize combustion or improve the operating status of the equipment;

[0154] Shut down the unit: If the abnormal state cannot be resolved through adjustment, the emergency shutdown protection is triggered and the unit is shut down to prevent further damage to the equipment or safety hazards;

[0155] Through the above content, the safety and reliability of diesel generator sets are effectively improved. When the unit encounters abnormal conditions such as decreased combustion efficiency, excessive emissions or equipment failure, the system can automatically initiate protection measures according to the specific situation, such as limiting load, adjusting operating parameters or emergency shutdown, thereby preventing further damage to the equipment or safety hazards. It not only reduces human intervention and improves fault response speed, but also can take effective measures at the early stage of the fault, reduce maintenance costs, extend equipment service life, ensure that the generator set operates in a safe and stable environment, and improve overall operating efficiency.
