[0045] The cloud-side system comprises an industrial big data storage server and an artificial intelligence computing platform, the first coal density control process digital twin model is deployed on the artificial intelligence computing platform, and the industrial big data storage server is used for storing the mixed medium density control loop process data.

The end-side system includes a PLC field control system, which is composed of a PLC, an IO module, and a bottom layer device, and is responsible for the acquisition, processing, and control of field process data. The PLC acquires real-time data of the medium density control loop (such as medium density, shunt valve opening, water supply valve start-stop signal, and medium bucket liquid level) through the IO module, processes these data through the built-in first intelligent coal preparation density controller (usually a PID controller), calculates the control amount (such as shunt valve opening), and sends the control signal to the actuator (such as the shunt valve) through the IO module to complete the field process control.

The side-side system includes an edge server and a PLC edge control system (with a second intelligent coal preparation density controller).

Since the system collects full process data, the cloud has powerful storage capacity and computing power, the digital twin model is updated in real time, and the model accuracy is improved. The system is independent of the control system of the factory, is easy to deploy, and does not introduce security problems.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the second coal density control process digital twin model and the first coal density control process digital twin model are represented as: Wherein, y = [y(k-1), y(k-2),..., y(k-n)] is the density feedback value, u = [u(k-1), u(k-2),..., u(k-n)] is the shunt valve opening value, the density feedback value y(k) at time k is z -d b0u(k-1)+c, b0 and c are model parameters, d represents the delay time, z represents z

[0049] Transform, u(k-1) represents the shunt valve opening value at time k-1,

[0050] is the nonlinear dynamic compensation system output value, represents the nonlinear dynamic compensation system output at time k,

[0051] K p , K i are controller parameters, e(k-1) represents the difference between the density set value and the density feedback value at time k-1, q1(k) represents the combined medium liquid level feedback value at time k, q2(k) represents the dilute medium density feedback value at time k, q3(k) represents the dilute medium liquid level feedback value at time k, q4(k) represents the thick medium density feedback value at time k, q5(k) represents the water supply valve opening degree feedback value at time k, and n is the number of neurons of the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model and the first coal preparation density control process digital twin model.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 The end-edge cloud collaborative intelligent coal preparation density controller setting algorithm structure diagram provided by the embodiment of the application is shown. The field control system includes a PLC and field devices controlled by the PLC, and is responsible for real-time data acquisition and control instruction execution. The edge system includes an edge server and a PLC edge control system. The edge server runs a digital twin model and a parameter setting algorithm, and the PLC edge control system is consistent with the field control system and is used to verify the effect of the setting parameters. The cloud server includes an industrial big data storage server and an artificial intelligence computing platform. The former stores data, and the latter runs a cloud digital twin model and updates and corrects the model. Data transmission and communication are realized among the field control system, the edge system and the cloud server.

[0053] In the embodiment of the application, the edge system further includes an edge server, the edge server is deployed with the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model and a PID parameter correction algorithm, and the edge system is specifically used for obtaining the setting parameters by using the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model and the second intelligent coal preparation density controller as an environment under a self-correction mechanism to run a PID parameter correction algorithm based on the combined medium density control loop process data, determining the evaluation result of the setting parameters by using the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model, and performing controller parameter optimization on the second intelligent coal preparation density controller based on the setting parameters when the evaluation result meets the expectation.

[0054] In this embodiment, the edge system is generally deployed close to the industrial field, but is connected to the cloud system through a network, including an edge server and edge devices connected to the PLC. The second intelligent coal preparation density control process edge digital twin model and the parameter setting algorithm are run in the edge server. The parameter setting algorithm interacts with the PLC edge control system as an environment, sends the obtained parameters to the PLC edge control system, controls the digital twin model to obtain the parameter evaluation result, and feeds back to the parameter setting algorithm. When a set of good parameters are obtained, the edge system sends the parameters to the edge devices to improve the field control effect. As shown in Figure 3A structure diagram of a parameter setting algorithm of an intelligent coal selection density controller provided in an embodiment of the application is shown. Network parameter and weight updating algorithm: this part describes how to update the parameters and weights of the neural network. In the Actor-Critic method, there are two different neural networks: the policy network (Actor network) and the value network (Critic network), and the parameters of these two networks will be updated as the training progresses in order to improve the agent's ability to make decisions in the environment. Policy function (Actor network): the policy network (Actor network) is responsible for generating actions, and its goal is to learn a policy function that maps states to a probability distribution of actions. At each time step, the policy network outputs a probability distribution based on the current state, and then the agent selects an action to execute. By observing the reward and the new state, the parameters of the policy network are adjusted to improve the policy. Value function (Critic network): the value network (Critic network) is responsible for evaluating the value of the state or the quality of the policy, and it learns a value function that estimates the expected cumulative return of a particular policy in a certain state. The output of the value network can guide the optimization of the policy network, as it provides information about which states are more advantageous. In the Actor-Critic method, the policy network and the value network interact. The policy network tries to maximize the value given by the value network, while the value network tries to accurately predict the value of the policy generated by the policy network. By alternately optimizing these two networks, the agent can gradually improve its behavior in the environment, thereby obtaining higher cumulative rewards. After finding a set of optimal setting parameters, they are sent to the coal selection density edge control system (i.e. the PLC edge control system) for synchronization to the PLC field control system.

[0055] In an embodiment of the application, the side system is also used to verify the calculation error θ1(k) of the second coal selection density control process digital twin model based on the combined medium density control loop process data, and determine that the second coal selection density control process digital twin model reaches the updating condition when the calculation error θ1(k) is greater than a preset threshold δ, wherein the calculation error y0(k) represents the field density feedback value at time k.

[0056] In this embodiment, based on the real-time acquisition of the combined medium density control loop process data from the field control system (such as PLC), the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model under the self-correcting mechanism and the second intelligent coal preparation density controller as the control environment are used to run the PID parameter correction algorithm. Through the operation of the algorithm, the optimal PID controller parameters after tuning are obtained. During operation, the side system will continuously verify the error between the calculation output of the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model and the actual process data based on the latest combined medium density control loop process data. By comparing the difference between the calculation output of the model and the actual measurement value, the calculation error of the model is evaluated. When the calculation error is greater than the preset threshold, the side system determines that the accuracy of the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model no longer meets the current control requirements, reaching the update condition. At this time, the side system will request the cloud side system for new model weight and bias parameters in order to update the digital twin model and maintain the accuracy and effectiveness of the model. Through the design and function realization of the above-mentioned side system, the intelligent coal preparation density controller parameter tuning system can adjust and optimize the control parameters in real time according to the field data, while ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the digital twin model, thereby improving the control effect and stability of the entire coal preparation process.

[0057] Further, as a refinement and extension of the above embodiment, in order to fully describe the specific implementation process of the embodiment, an end-side cloud collaborative intelligent coal preparation density controller parameter tuning method is provided, as shown in Figure 4 The method comprises:

[0058] Step 401, the end-side system collects the combined medium density control loop process data of the industrial field, and uses the first intelligent coal preparation density controller to perform process control on the industrial field according to the combined medium density control loop process data, and sends the combined medium density control loop process data of the industrial field to the cloud-side system;

[0059] Step 402, the cloud-side system iteratively updates the first coal preparation density control process digital twin model according to the combined medium density control loop process data, and sends the model parameters of the first coal preparation density control process digital twin model to the side system when the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model in the side system reaches the update condition;

[0060] Step 403, the side system receives the combined medium density control loop process data sent by the cloud-side system, updates the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model based on the received model parameters, optimizes the controller parameters of the second intelligent coal preparation density controller based on the combined medium density control loop process data and the second coal preparation density control process digital twin model, and sends the optimized controller parameters to the end-side system;
