[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0053] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail with specific embodiments below. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.
[0054] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the process of the embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0055] S1. Use a distributed sensor network to collect all-round operation data of the thermal power plant, use edge computing technology to pre-process the collected data, including outlier detection, data smoothing and compression, and build a multi-level dynamic nonlinear model of the thermal power plant based on the pre-processed data, including the fuel delivery system, boiler system, turbine system, generator system and pollutant control system. Use a hybrid deep learning algorithm, combined with long short-term memory network and convolutional neural network, to train and optimize the models of each subsystem, use an improved adaptive quantum behavior particle swarm optimization algorithm to identify the model parameters in real time, generate identification results and establish a multi-dimensional thermal power plant operation characteristics database based on the identification results, including efficiency curves, emission characteristics and dynamic response of the start-stop process under different loads;
[0056] The hybrid deep learning algorithm combines multiple deep learning techniques (such as convolutional neural networks, recursive neural networks, etc.) to improve the performance and generalization ability of the model and can more effectively capture complex data features. The improved adaptive quantum behavior particle swarm optimization algorithm is a variant of particle swarm optimization, which combines the idea of quantum computing. By introducing quantum bits and quantum rotating gates, the search behavior of particles is more flexible, thereby improving the global search ability and convergence speed. The multi-dimensional thermal power plant operation characteristics database is a data management system that integrates multiple operating parameters and performance indicators, and is designed to support the optimization and decision-making of thermal power plants.
[0057] In an optional embodiment,
[0058] A distributed sensor network is used to collect all-round operation data of the thermal power plant, and the edge computing technology is used to pre-process the collected data, including outlier detection, data smoothing and compression. Based on the pre-processed data, a multi-level dynamic nonlinear model of the thermal power plant is constructed, including the fuel delivery system, boiler system, turbine system, generator system and pollutant control system. A hybrid deep learning algorithm is used, combined with long short-term memory network and convolutional neural network, to train and optimize the models of each subsystem. The improved adaptive quantum behavior particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to identify the model parameters in real time, generate identification results and establish a multi-dimensional thermal power plant operation characteristic database based on the identification results, including efficiency curves, emission characteristics and start-stop process dynamic responses under different loads.
[0059] High-precision sensors are placed on the steam turbines, boilers and generators of thermal power plants to collect real-time operating parameters, and edge computing nodes are deployed on site. The edge computing nodes are equipped with ARM Cortex-A72 processors and 4GB RAM, running a lightweight Linux operating system;
[0060] Using the edge computing node to preprocess the collected data, the preprocessing includes using an improved local anomaly factor algorithm to perform outlier detection, the improved local anomaly factor algorithm reduces the computational complexity by combining a sliding time window technology, using an adaptive Savitzky-Golay filter to perform data smoothing, the adaptive Savitzky-Golay filter automatically adjusts the filter window size and the polynomial order according to the local characteristics of the data, and using a hybrid compression algorithm based on wavelet transform and deep autoencoder to perform data compression to obtain preprocessed data;
[0061] Based on the preprocessed data, a multi-level dynamic nonlinear model of a thermal power plant is constructed, the model includes five subsystems: a fuel delivery system, a boiler system, a steam turbine system, a generator system and a pollutant control system;
[0062] A hybrid deep learning algorithm is used to train and optimize each subsystem model. The hybrid deep learning algorithm combines a long short-term memory network and a convolutional neural network, wherein the long short-term memory network adopts a bidirectional structure, the convolutional neural network adopts a multi-scale convolution kernel, and the outputs of the long short-term memory network and the convolutional neural network are fused through an attention mechanism;
[0063] An improved adaptive quantum behavior particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to realize real-time identification of model parameters, quantum states are used to represent particle positions and update phase angles, and quantum revolving gates are used to realize particle motion to obtain model identification results. Based on the model identification results, a multi-dimensional thermal power plant operation characteristic database is constructed. The database adopts a distributed storage architecture, uses Apache Cassandra as the underlying storage system, and develops a data access interface based on RESTful API, which supports multi-parameter joint queries and time series slicing. AES-256 is used to encrypt and store data, implement role-based access control, and record audit logs for data access operations.
[0064] The adaptive Savitzky-Golay filter is a signal processing technology suitable for denoising and data smoothing. The hybrid compression algorithm based on wavelet transform and deep autoencoder combines the time-frequency analysis capability of wavelet transform with the feature extraction capability of deep autoencoder, aiming to improve data compression efficiency, especially when processing complex signals (such as images or audio). The quantum state refers to the state of the quantum system, which is described by wave function or density matrix, reflecting the physical properties of the system. The phase angle refers to the quantum state in quantum computing, which can be expressed as a complex form, where the phase angle is an important parameter, which determines the position of the quantum state on the complex plane and affects the result of the quantum operation. The quantum rotation gate is one of the basic operations in quantum computing, and the operation of quantum bits is realized by rotating the phase angle of the quantum state. Common ones are RX, RY and RZ gates, corresponding to rotations in different axes respectively.
[0065] High-precision sensors are placed on key equipment in thermal power plants. Vibration sensors, temperature sensors and pressure sensors are installed on steam turbines to monitor parameters such as bearing vibration, steam temperature and pressure. Oxygen content sensors, temperature sensors and flow sensors are installed on boilers to monitor parameters such as combustion efficiency, superheated steam temperature and feed water flow. Voltage sensors, current sensors and power factor sensors are installed on generators to monitor parameters such as output voltage, current and power factor. The sampling frequency of these sensors is set to 100 Hz to ensure that rapid changes in the operating status of the equipment are captured.
[0066] Next, edge computing nodes were deployed on site, with one edge computing node deployed in each major equipment area (such as the turbine room, boiler area, and generator room). Each node was equipped with an ARM Cortex-A72 processor with a main frequency of 2.5GHz, 4GB DDR4 RAM, and 128GB SSD storage. The node ran a customized lightweight Linux operating system based on Ubuntu 20.04LTS, retaining only the necessary system components and drivers to reduce system overhead and improve operating efficiency.
[0067] The edge computing node preprocesses the collected data and uses the improved local anomaly factor algorithm to detect outliers. The sliding time window technology is adopted. The window size is set to 1 minute and slides every 10 seconds. For each data point, its local density ratio with other data points in the window is calculated. If the ratio exceeds the preset threshold (such as 3.0), it is marked as an outlier.
[0068] Adaptive Savitzky-Golay filter is used for data smoothing. The initial window size of the filter is set to 21 data points and the polynomial order is 3. The filter dynamically adjusts the window size by calculating the local variance of the data in the window. If the local variance increases, the window size is reduced to retain details; if the local variance decreases, the window size is increased to enhance the smoothing effect. The polynomial order is also adjusted according to the complexity of the data, ranging from 2 to 5.
[0069] A hybrid compression algorithm based on wavelet transform and deep autoencoder is used for data compression. First, the data is subjected to discrete wavelet transform, and the Daubechies 4 wavelet basis is used with a decomposition layer number of 3. The wavelet coefficients are input into the deep autoencoder. The encoder part of the autoencoder contains 3 hidden layers with 256, 128 and 64 neurons respectively. The decoder part is symmetrical and uses the ReLU activation function and batch normalization layer to improve training efficiency and generalization ability. In this way, the original data can be compressed to 1 / 10 of its original size while keeping the reconstruction error below 1%;
[0070] Based on the preprocessed data, a multi-level dynamic nonlinear model of a thermal power plant is constructed. The model includes five subsystems: fuel delivery system, boiler system, steam turbine system, generator system and pollutant control system. Each subsystem model considers the nonlinear relationship and dynamic characteristics between key parameters. For example, the boiler system model includes the combustion process, water wall heat transfer, superheater and reheater, and considers the influence of factors such as fuel composition, feed water flow, and steam parameters.
[0071] A hybrid deep learning algorithm is used to train and optimize each subsystem model. The algorithm combines the long short-term memory network and the convolutional neural network. The long short-term memory network adopts a bidirectional structure with 128 hidden layer neurons to capture the long-term dependencies of time series data. The convolutional neural network uses multi-scale convolution kernels, including convolution kernels of three sizes: 1x1, 3x3, and 5x5. Each size has 32 filters to extract multi-scale features. The outputs of the long short-term memory network and the convolutional neural network are fused through the attention mechanism. The attention weight is calculated by the softmax function. The Adam optimizer is used for model training, the learning rate is set to 0.001, the batch size is 64, and the number of training rounds is 100.
[0072] An improved adaptive quantum behavior particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to realize real-time identification of model parameters. The particle swarm size is set to 50, the maximum number of iterations is 100, each particle uses a quantum bit to represent its position, the initial phase angle is randomly generated, and the particle motion is achieved through a quantum rotating gate. The rotation angle is calculated based on the current position of the particle, the individual optimal position, and the global optimal position. An adaptive inertia weight is introduced with an initial value of 0.9, which decreases linearly to 0.4 as the number of iterations increases to balance the global search and local search capabilities.
[0073] Based on the model identification results, a multi-dimensional thermal power plant operation characteristics database is constructed. The database adopts a distributed storage architecture and uses Apache Cassandra as the underlying storage system. Three data nodes are set up, each node is equipped with an 8-core CPU, 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD storage. The data is partitioned according to timestamp and device ID to optimize query performance.
[0074] Develop a data access interface based on RESTful API, supporting multi-parameter joint query and time series slicing. The API is implemented using Python Flask framework and deployed on a separate application server;
[0075] The stored data is encrypted using the AES-256 algorithm. The key length is 256 bits, encrypted using CBC mode, and padded using PKCS7. Key management is protected by a hardware security module (HSM) to implement role-based access control, defining three roles: administrator, engineer, and operator, each with different data access permissions. For example, operators can only view real-time operating data, while engineers can access historical data and perform advanced analysis.
[0076] In this embodiment, by arranging high-precision sensors on key equipment, the core operating parameters of the thermal power plant are accurately captured, providing high-quality raw data for subsequent data analysis and model building. By performing preliminary data preprocessing on site, the amount of data transmission is greatly reduced, the network bandwidth requirement is reduced, and the computing burden of the central server is also reduced. The distributed computing architecture enables the system to respond to changes in equipment status more quickly, providing possibilities for real-time control and fault warning.

[0077] In an optional embodiment,
[0078] Using quantum states to represent particle positions and update phase angles is shown in the following formula:
[0079] Δθ=ωΔθ prev +c1r1(θ pbest -θ)+c2r2(θ gbest -θ)+α·(rand()-0.5)·π;
[0080] Among them, △θ is the change of phase angle, which indicates the update amplitude of the current phase angle, ω indicates the inertia weight, and △θ prev represents the phase angle change of the previous step, c1 represents the individual learning factor, r1 represents a random number between 0 and 1, θ pbest represents the individual optimal phase angle, c2 represents the global learning factor, r2 represents another random number between 0 and 1, θ gbest represents the global optimal phase angle, α represents the interference intensity, and rand() represents the uncertainty function, which is used to randomly generate a random number between 0 and 1.
[0081] In this embodiment, quantum states are used to represent particle positions, allowing particles to explore multiple possible solutions at the same time, so that the algorithm can conduct a wider and deeper search in the solution space, greatly improving the probability of finding the global optimal solution. The superposition property of quantum states enables particles to evaluate multiple potential solutions at the same time in each iteration, thereby speeding up the process of finding the optimal solution and achieving better optimization results within a smaller number of iterations. The inertia term maintains the movement trend of the particles, which is helpful for global search. Individual cognitive terms and social cognitive terms guide particles to move toward known good solutions and promote local search. Random perturbation terms increase the diversity of search and help to jump out of local optimality. The adaptive mechanism enables the algorithm to maintain good performance at different stages of the optimization process, and can conduct extensive global searches in the early stages, and refine local searches in the later stages. In summary, this embodiment provides a more efficient and accurate solution for parameter identification of dynamic nonlinear models of thermal power plants, thereby laying a solid foundation for intelligent operation and optimization control of thermal power plants.
