Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of thermal power digital twins, and specifically relates to a method and device for self-correcting boiler parameters of a twin mechanism model of a coal-fired unit. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of thermal power generation technology, power plants are increasingly demanding more intelligent unit control. Digital twin technology, as an effective means of enhancing the level of unit intelligence, holds significant application value. Thermal power units, as typical complex systems, are characterized by numerous equipment parameters, high levels of nonlinearity, and strong coupling within production processes. Currently, modeling approaches for thermal power units are primarily categorized into two main categories: mechanism-based modeling and data-based modeling. On the one hand, building an accurate digital twin model for a unit based on mechanism-based analysis is inherently time-consuming and challenging. Therefore, traditional mechanism-based modeling inevitably requires several simplifying assumptions to ignore some of the unit's higher-order dynamic characteristics (often referred to as unmodeled dynamics). Furthermore, unit equipment inevitably experiences characteristic shifts or performance degradation during actual operation, leading to discrepancies between the model and the equipment. On the other hand, with mathematical modeling, the accuracy of the data model is overly dependent on data quality and lacks the relationships between the parameters of the mechanism-based formulas. Factors such as insufficient data volume, excessive data noise, and incomplete coverage can all lead to reduced model generalization performance, making it difficult to accurately describe unit dynamic characteristics.
[0003] Thermal power units are typically complex systems characterized by numerous equipment parameters, high levels of nonlinearity, and strong coupling between production processes. This is particularly true for the boiler. Fly ash particles generated during fuel combustion deposit on boiler heat exchange surfaces (such as the superheater, reheater, and economizer), reducing heat transfer efficiency, increasing exhaust gas temperatures, increasing fan power consumption, and causing surface overheating. If parameter self-calibration is not addressed, online twinning based on precise plant models can lead to significant parameter deviations, which become more severe with extended operation.
[0004] Traditional tuning methods lack in-depth research into the physical processes of boilers. Most studies focus on describing coordinated operations, relying on big data and operating conditions. They fail to provide effective mechanistic correction methods. This is particularly true for the complex heat exchange processes of boilers, where viable offline and online correction methods are lacking. Consequently, the resulting twin models fail to objectively represent the characteristics of the twin boiler in real time. Achieving twin operation between the model and the unit requires analyzing the composition of boiler parameters, classifying them, and establishing self-correction methods. This ensures twin accuracy and reflects the actual unit's operating status, a prerequisite for implementing twin applications. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and device for self-correction of boiler parameters of a twin mechanism model of a coal-fired unit. By establishing a twin mechanism model of the unit and an offline correction mechanism model, offline and online self-correction are adopted to realize self-correction of boiler parameters of the twin mechanism model of the coal-fired unit.

The differential evolution algorithm is used to optimize the heat transfer coefficient, and the obtained optimal heat transfer coefficient is synchronously updated to the twin mechanism model of the unit.
[0024] A further improvement of the present invention is to determine the stability and classify the historical data stored in the data platform, including:

[0061] Through the above implementation method, a twin mechanism model of the unit and an offline correction mechanism model are established, and offline and online self-correction are adopted to realize self-correction of boiler parameters of the twin mechanism model of the coal-fired unit.
[0062] In the embodiments provided herein, a twin mechanism model for the entire unit is established, encompassing the boiler, turbine, and electrical process models. The offline correction mechanism model is divided into three regional models: the furnace region, the horizontal flue region, and the tail flue region. The offline correction mechanism model must be fully consistent with the corresponding regions of the twin mechanism model for the unit.
[0063] As an embodiment of the present invention, according to the different heat exchange modes of each heat exchange surface of the coal-fired boiler, the heat exchange modes can be divided into three categories: radiation heat exchange, convection heat exchange, and radiation-convection heat exchange. By deeply analyzing the calculation formulas when the mechanism model adopts different heat exchange modes, the parameters that need to be optimized are derived. The formula used in one embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0138] In this embodiment, when the radiation heat exchange method is adopted, the heat transfer coefficient is the radiation coefficient of the upper space. When convection heat transfer is used, the heat transfer coefficient is When radiation convection heat transfer is used, the heat transfer coefficient is the radiation rate and heat transfer coefficient 2.
