Description

Technical Field

[0002] Traditional methods usually rely on a single sensor or limited measurement points and are unable to fully capture carbon emission data from all links in the steel production process. This method cannot accurately estimate the carbon emission intensity of different production stages and may result in large errors, especially in complex production environments. The accuracy of the monitoring results is difficult to guarantee. Traditional methods often rely on static models or fixed calculation formulas for carbon emission assessments and are unable to adjust and correct data in real time. This means that when fluctuations or changes occur in the production process, traditional methods are unable to promptly reflect changes in carbon emissions, which may result in delayed or inaccurate carbon emission data. Traditional monitoring methods generally focus on a single factor (such as a certain equipment or a certain process link) and lack a comprehensive analysis of multiple factors.

[0013] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a carbon monitoring method for the steel industry based on IoT sensing, comprising: S1.

Training the process adjacency matrix, fusion data, and carbon emission intensity according to a pre-trained graph neural network to obtain a carbon emission correction value; S6. Correct the carbon emission intensity according to the carbon emission correction value to obtain the actual carbon emission intensity of the target steel production line.

[0014] In the present invention, IoT sensing refers to connecting various sensor devices to the Internet through IoT technology, so that these sensors can collect data in real time and transmit the data to the central system for analysis and processing. In the steel industry, IoT sensors can be used to monitor parameters such as temperature, pressure, and gas composition on the production line; the space-time difference matrix is ​​a mathematical tool used to represent the spatial distance and time difference between sensors. Specifically, the elements of this matrix can represent the position difference and time difference between each sensor, and are used to capture the space-time relationship between observation data of different sensors, which is usually used for subsequent data processing and analysis; the space-time graph is a graph structure in which the nodes represent sensors and the edges represent the space-time relationship between sensors. The space-time graph can help aggregate and analyze data by visualizing the space-time relationship between sensors. In monitoring and prediction, the space-time graph can help better understand the mutual influence between different sensors; the process adjacency matrix is ​​a matrix used to describe the material and energy flow relationship between steel production equipment. In steel production, there will be certain material and energy flows between different equipment, such as the transmission of coal, molten steel, gas, etc. The adjacency matrix is ​​used to represent the relationship between these flows. Usually each row and each column represents A production equipment, the elements in the matrix represent the material flow or energy flow between the equipment; carbon emission intensity refers to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted per unit output value or unit production volume. In the steel production process, carbon emission is an important environmental indicator. Carbon emission intensity is usually expressed as the amount of carbon dioxide emitted per ton of steel products, which is a key indicator for measuring carbon emission efficiency; graph neural network is a deep learning model used to process tasks with graph data structures. In the graph neural network, the relationship between data nodes and nodes (i.e., the edges of the graph) is used to help the model learn and reason. In this method, the graph neural network is used to combine process adjacency matrix, fusion data, carbon emission intensity and other information to optimize the carbon emission prediction model through training; the carbon emission correction value is the value adjusted for the initial carbon emission intensity. Through the training of the graph neural network, the correction value can be obtained. This value can help correct the original carbon emission intensity data, making the final carbon emission intensity more accurate and true. This is because the actual situation of carbon emissions may be affected by multiple factors. The graph neural network corrects carbon emissions by learning these influencing factors; the actual carbon emission intensity is the corrected carbon emission intensity data, which represents the actual carbon emission level of the steel production line under specific conditions.

[0015] Embodiment 2: A carbon monitoring method for the steel industry based on Internet of Things sensing is proposed in the present invention. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes: a spatiotemporal graph includes a node set and a connection edge set, wherein the nodes in the node set correspond to sensors, and when the spatiotemporal difference between each sensor in the spatiotemporal difference matrix is ​​less than a preset difference threshold, there is a connection edge between the two nodes in the node set.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, information aggregation is performed on the spatiotemporal graph to obtain fused data, including: A1. Calculate the attention weights between nodes in the spatiotemporal graph based on the scaled dot product attention. The calculation formula for the attention weights between nodes is as follows: ; in, Indicates the duty cycle time-space diagram and The attention weights between nodes, represents the space-time difference calculation function, where the space-time difference is represented by the Euclidean distance, , and Indicates The observations, timestamps and spatial location encodings of each sensor, , and Indicates Observations, timestamps and spatial location encoding of each sensor; A2. According to the attention weights between the nodes in the space-time graph, the information of each node in the space-time graph is aggregated through the graph convolution operation to obtain fused data. The calculation formula of the fused data is as follows: ; in, represents fused data, represents a multilayer perceptron, Represents a concatenation operation.

[0017] It should be noted that scaled dot product attention is a form of attention mechanism, mainly used for self-attention mechanism (Self-Attention), which measures the correlation between "query (Query)" and "key (Key)" by calculating the dot product between them, and gives different weights according to this correlation. In order to avoid numerical instability caused by excessive dot product values, the dot product value is usually divided by a constant (usually the square root of the dimension of the vector), which is the "scaling" operation; the spatiotemporal difference calculation function is used to measure the difference between two nodes in the spatiotemporal graph, usually using Euclidean distance to measure the spatial distance, while also considering the difference in time. It helps define the relationship between nodes so that spatiotemporal information can be better integrated in the graph convolution operation; graph convolution is a convolution operation for graph structured data, which updates the feature representation of each node by aggregating the information of neighboring nodes. Graph convolution is designed to process the relationship between nodes, and can process data of arbitrary topological structure without considering the traditional grid structure (such as pictures); multilayer perceptron (MLP) is a feedforward neural network, usually composed of multiple fully connected layers (Dense Layers), which is a common neural network structure used for feature conversion and mapping, and can capture nonlinear relationships in input data.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the calculation formula for the carbon emission intensity of the target steel production line is as follows: ; in, represents the carbon emission intensity of the target steel production line, and Indicates the density of input and output materials, and Indicates the carbon content of the input and output materials, Indicates temperature and pressure Dependent reaction rate term.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, a graph neural network is used to correct the carbon emission intensity based on the material flow relationship and fusion data between steel production equipment.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the calculation formula of the actual carbon emission intensity is as follows: ; in, Indicates the actual carbon emission intensity, Indicates the carbon emission correction value.

[0021] Embodiment three, as Figure 2As shown, the present invention proposes a carbon monitoring system for the steel industry based on IoT sensing, which is applicable to the carbon monitoring method for the steel industry based on IoT sensing, including: A data monitoring unit is used to monitor the target steel production line based on multiple sensors to obtain the observation value, timestamp and spatial position code of each sensor, and to construct a spatiotemporal difference matrix based on the spatial distance and time difference between sensors; The data fusion unit is used to construct a spatiotemporal graph among multiple sensors according to the spatiotemporal difference matrix and aggregate information on the spatiotemporal graph to obtain fused data; A process modeling unit, which is used to construct a process adjacency matrix according to the process flow, wherein the process adjacency matrix represents the material and energy flow relationship between steel production equipment; A carbon monitoring unit, which is used to monitor the carbon emission intensity of the target steel production line based on the fusion data to obtain the carbon emission intensity of the target steel production line; A correction calculation unit, which is used to train the process adjacency matrix, fusion data and carbon emission intensity according to a pre-trained graph neural network to obtain a carbon emission correction value; The emission correction unit is used to correct the carbon emission intensity according to the carbon emission correction value to obtain the actual carbon emission intensity of the target steel production line.
