Such models provide strong technical support for the planning, design, construction and daily operation of sewage treatment plants by simulating the physical, chemical and biological processes of sewage treatment. In the design stage, the model not only helps engineers make more scientific and reasonable decisions on process selection, equipment configuration and parameter optimization, ensuring the economy and practicality of the design scheme; in the operation stage, the model can also monitor and adjust key operating parameters such as aeration, dosing and sludge age in real time through advanced intelligent control systems, ensuring that the sewage treatment plant can maintain efficient and stable operation under various working conditions.

[0003] In my country, the arrival of the rainy season is often accompanied by heavy rainfall and the widespread existence of combined sewer systems, which leads to the mixed flow of rainwater and sewage, which puts great operating pressure on sewage treatment plants. This impact is not only reflected in the rapid increase in water inflow, but may also cause water quality deterioration, posing a threat to the stable operation of sewage treatment plants. In order to meet this challenge, it is particularly important to realize the coupling calculation of the drainage network model and the sewage treatment plant model. Summary of the invention

[0028] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples. The examples only express one embodiment of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be based on the attached claims.

[0029] The present invention proposes a method for calculating the water quantity and water quality of a drainage network model and a sewage treatment plant model in a coupled manner. The implementation process includes:

[0030] S1: Construct a drainage network model. Based on the topological structure of the actual drainage network, pipeline characteristics (pipeline length, diameter, slope, roughness coefficient) and hydraulic parameters, establish a drainage network model to describe the transportation, collection and migration of water and pollutants in the network. Specifically, collect driving data (rainfall, dry season inflow, inflow and infiltration), drainage network asset data, land use type, terrain elevation, construct the spatial topological relationship of the drainage system, sort out the upstream and downstream relationships of the network system within the service range of the sewage treatment plant's drainage network, debug the model and initially run it, monitor and calibrate it, and form a verified drainage network model.

[0031] S2: Construct a sewage treatment plant model. According to the process flow, equipment parameters, treatment capacity and water quality change characteristics of the sewage treatment plant, establish a sewage treatment plant model to describe the water balance and water quality change process of sewage in each treatment unit. Specifically: collect process description (process flow, facility description), facility design parameters (size, sludge return volume, residual sludge discharge volume, mixed liquor return volume, dosage, etc.), more than half a year of influent and effluent water volume and quality data, stable operation of each facility operation data, build upstream and downstream correlations of each facility, configure basic parameters and operation parameters of the facility, debug the model and initially operate it, and use long-term influent and effluent and operation data to calibrate model parameters to form a calibrated sewage treatment plant model.

[0032] S3: Use the model engine to build a single model simulator for the drainage network and the sewage treatment plant respectively. The simulator has an interface function to support data exchange. Use the model engine technology to build a drainage network model simulator and a sewage treatment plant model simulator respectively. The simulator has an interface function and can exchange data and coordinate calculations with other models or systems. Specifically: open the simulator (configure model parameters), start simulation and verify each model parameter, simulate step by step until the simulation ends, and end the simulation and close the simulator.

[0033] S4: The sewage treatment plant model and the drainage network model are used as the main engine and branch engine respectively. The main engine provides extended interface functions to interact with the branch engine for data and collaborative operations. Specifically, when performing coupled calculations, the sewage treatment plant model or the drainage network model is selected as the main engine according to specific needs, and the other model is used as the branch engine. The main engine provides extended interface functions to interact with the branch engine for data and collaborative operations to achieve model linkage and coordination.

[0034] S5: On the basis of the above, a comprehensive coupling simulator is built. During the step-by-step simulation of the main engine (sewage treatment plant model), the branch engine (drainage network model) is used to obtain the outflow and load data of the end nodes in the service range of the sewage treatment plant, and these data are configured in the main engine using the extended interface function. The simulator can simultaneously process the water quantity and quality information of the drainage network and the sewage treatment plant, realize the coupling calculation between the two, and provide accurate and real-time overall system simulation results.

[0035] The present invention improves the accuracy and reliability of the overall system simulation by comprehensively simulating the changes in water quantity and quality of the drainage system and the treatment system, which helps to optimize the operation and management of the sewage treatment plant and reduce the operating costs. At the same time, the method enhances the dynamic response capability of the system, provides timely decision-making support for responding to sudden pollution incidents, further improves the efficiency of sewage treatment, reduces pollutant emissions, and improves environmental quality. This technology has strong adaptability and operability, is suitable for drainage systems and sewage treatment plants of different sizes and types, and has broad application prospects and social benefits.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
