[0017] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0018] The first embodiment of the present application is: See also Figures 1 to 3 ,in, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the carbon measurement boundary of the cement industry according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the steps of an online carbon measurement method applicable to process industry according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 1 is a flow chart of an online carbon measurement method applicable to process industry according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides an online carbon measurement method applicable to process industry, comprising the following steps: S101: Determine the carbon emission boundaries of process industrial enterprises and distinguish between direct and indirect carbon emission sources; Specifically, the carbon emission boundary of process industrial enterprises is determined. Taking the cement industry as an example, the carbon emission boundary is the carbon emissions involved in the entire process from raw material processing to cement products. The direct carbon emission sources are determined to be coal combustion carbon emissions and carbonate decomposition carbon emissions, and the indirect carbon emission source is the net purchase of electricity by the enterprise.

[0019] S102: Assess whether the process industry enterprise has the conditions for monitoring equipment for direct carbon emission sources. If it has the conditions for monitoring equipment for direct carbon emission sources, use mode 1 to measure carbon emissions. If it does not have the conditions for monitoring equipment for direct carbon emission sources, use mode 2 to measure carbon emissions. Specifically, mode one is to install CEMS equipment (a continuous monitoring system for flue gas emissions) at the flue gas emission outlet, and collect data including at least CO2 concentration, flow rate, pressure, and temperature; and install electricity meters at the enterprise's electricity consumption gateway, and collect data including at least total forward active power, forward active rate 1 power, forward active rate 2 power, forward active rate 3 power, forward active rate 4 power, total reverse active power, reverse active rate 1 power, reverse active rate 2 power, reverse active rate 3 power, reverse active rate 4 power, voltage, current, and power; mode two is to install electricity meters at the enterprise's electricity consumption gateway and high-power electrical equipment without installing CEMS equipment at the flue gas emission outlet, and collect electricity data to form a carbon emission assessment model of the enterprise's electricity-carbon relationship.

[0020] S103: Use the carbon metering edge controller to collect carbon emission measurement data in real time, calculate the carbon emission of process industrial enterprises through processing and conversion, and report it to the carbon monitoring system. For mode 2, collect the load curve data of major power-consuming equipment and report it to the carbon monitoring system; Specifically, the maximum collection frequency of the carbon metering edge controller can reach the minute level. The enterprise carbon emissions are calculated through processing and conversion and reported to the carbon monitoring system. In mode 1 of step S102, the auxiliary service demand and corresponding indirect carbon emissions generated randomly by new energy in the distributed power grid in the purchased electricity are first calculated to obtain the indirect carbon emissions of the purchased electricity and the carbon emissions of the auxiliary services related to the distributed power grid. Related electricity carbon formula: Carbon emissions ( ) = Electricity consumption (kilowatt-hour, kWh) × national or regional average carbon emission factor ( ).

[0021] Then, the influence of factors such as measuring equipment and measuring environment on the uncertainty of the measurement results is considered, and the uncertainty is evaluated. In view of the noise interference of the instrument measurement data, improvements are made in smoothing and filtering. The filtering method is used for smoothing and noise removal, and its influence on data accuracy is evaluated to obtain the direct carbon emissions after the measurement results are processed. The specific calculation process is as follows: 1. Since humidity affects the flue gas volume, the wet basis flow rate needs to be converted to dry basis flow rate first.

[0022] ; in, is the volume concentration of carbon dioxide on a dry basis, % is the volume concentration of carbon dioxide on a wet basis, % is the relative humidity of flue gas in %.

[0023] 2. Because the data such as smoke concentration, flow rate, humidity, etc. are collected as discontinuous values, in order to improve the accuracy of the final calculation, it is necessary to take the average value of the concentration data (taking minutes as an example).

[0024] ; in, is the average concentration of carbon dioxide in 1 minute, is the concentration value collected within 1 minute, It is the number of concentration acquisitions within 1 minute.

[0025] 3. Calculate the carbon dioxide flow rate: ; in, is the average instantaneous value of the flue gas velocity in the chimney or flue cross section m / s, It is the instantaneous value of the flue gas velocity in the chimney or flue section within 1 minute m / s, is the number of acquisitions within 1 minute, is the velocity field coefficient.

[0026] ; in, is the minute wet flue gas flow m3 under actual working conditions, is the average instantaneous value of the flue gas velocity in the chimney or flue cross section m / s, The area of ​​the chimney or flue section at the installation point (m) 2 .

[0027] 4. In order to eliminate the influence of temperature and pressure on volume, the dry basis (wet basis data processing) flue gas flow needs to be corrected to the standard state (temperature and pressure).

[0028] ; in, is the minute dry flue gas volume flow rate m under standard conditions 3 , is the flue gas temperature collected j times per minute, is the flue gas static pressure collected r times per minute, It is the relative humidity of flue gas collected t times per minute.

[0029] 5. Based on the previously calculated concentration and flow data, calculate the carbon dioxide emission data per minute.

[0030] ; in, Monitors carbon dioxide emissions within 1 minute.

[0031] In mode 2 of step S102, a load identification method based on machine learning is used to achieve refined power load identification from the perspective of the total power consumption of the enterprise. Electricity meters are installed at the power consumption points and high-power power consumption equipment of the enterprise to collect power load data. Then, a complex regression model of each process flow is established to fit the relationship between carbon emissions and power consumption. The above method is used to indirectly characterize the carbon emissions of the enterprise from the perspective of power data. Constructing a regression model of carbon emissions and power consumption includes the following steps: 1. Data collection: Collect historical electricity consumption data and corresponding carbon emissions data.

[0032] 2. Data preprocessing: Preprocess the collected data, including data cleaning, outlier processing, missing value filling, etc. to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0033] 3. Model selection: Select a linear regression model to fit the relationship between electricity consumption and carbon emissions.

[0034] 4. Model training: Use the collected data to train the regression model to obtain the model parameters and predictive ability.

[0035] 5. Model validation: Verify the model’s predictive power and accuracy through cross-validation or other methods to ensure that the model can accurately predict carbon emissions in practical applications.

[0036] S104: In Mode 2, the carbon monitoring system uses the collected load curve data of major power-consuming equipment to build complex regression models for each process flow to fit the relationship between carbon emissions and electricity consumption. The carbon monitoring system generates various types of reports based on the carbon emission data reported in Mode 1 or the carbon emission data estimated by electricity in Mode 2 for enterprise managers to review and analyze.

[0037] Specifically, the carbon emission data displayed by the carbon monitoring system includes at least minute carbon emissions, hourly carbon emissions, daily carbon emissions, monthly carbon emissions, annual carbon emissions and various trends. Specific embodiment: Step 1: Determine the carbon emission boundaries of process industrial enterprises and identify direct and indirect carbon emission sources. Figure 1 As shown, the emission sources are determined to be flue gas emissions and enterprise electricity consumption.

[0039] Step 2: Install carbon metering devices at the carbon emission sources determined in step 1 to collect carbon-related data in real time. Install CMES at the flue gas outlet to collect CO2 concentration, flow rate, pressure and temperature; install gateway meters to collect the total electricity consumption data of the enterprise, including total forward active energy, forward active rate 1 energy, forward active rate 2 energy, forward active rate 3 energy, forward active rate 4 energy, total reverse active energy, reverse active rate 1 energy, reverse active rate 2 energy, reverse active rate 3 energy, reverse active rate 4 energy, voltage, current and power.

[0040] Step 3: Use the carbon metering edge controller to collect the carbon metering data in step 2 in real time, calculate the company's carbon emissions through processing and conversion, and report it to the carbon monitoring system. Flue gas carbon emissions calculation formula: ; Calculation formula for indirect carbon emissions from electricity consumption: .

[0041] Step 4: The carbon monitoring system generates various types of reports for managers to review based on the reported carbon emission data through big data analysis.

[0042] The company's carbon emissions can be measured in real time and accurately, and displayed through the system. Company managers can grasp the company's carbon emissions anytime and anywhere through the Internet, and then analyze the causes of high carbon emissions through big data and other means, and then gradually reduce carbon emissions through management or technical reforms to achieve the goal of energy conservation and carbon reduction.
