[0054] Step 2: Construct a multi-physical field simulation model of the aluminum electrolysis cell according to the structural parameters and process parameters obtained in step 1.
[0055] In the specific embodiment of the application, the specific implementation process of constructing a multi-physical field simulation model of an aluminum electrolysis cell includes:
[0056] A three-dimensional model of the aluminum electrolysis cell is constructed according to the structural parameters of the aluminum electrolysis cell, then the three-dimensional model is imported into the Openfoam platform for meshing, and the model after meshing is given material properties according to the physical performance parameters of different parts.
[0057] In order to improve the accuracy of the physical performance parameters of each part of the material, the nanoCT method is used to obtain the electrical conductivity of the material, and the specific implementation process is as follows:
[0058] Step 2.1: The CT material data (i.e. material data obtained by computer tomography) is processed by using Avizo software to obtain a three-dimensional sampling model;
[0059] Step 2.2: Repair the three-dimensional sampling model in the model processing software (such as Geomagic Studio) to process unreasonable holes, abnormal surfaces and noise points to obtain a repaired model;
[0060] Step 2.3: Import the repaired model into the mesh drawing software (such as fluent meshing), and mesh the repaired model to obtain a material mesoscopic model;
[0061] Step 2.4: Import the material mesoscopic model into the finite element simulation software, and load the temperature boundary condition and thermal conductivity boundary condition into the material mesoscopic model to simulate the heat transfer and loss mechanism of different parts, and calculate the comprehensive electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of the material.
[0062] The comprehensive electrical conductivity of the material is used as the electrical conductivity parameter of the material, and the nanoCT method is used to describe the dynamic evolution process of the material property parameters affecting the prediction of the cell wall thickness and the cell shell temperature, which more detailedly describes the mesoscopic material characteristics and improves the calculation accuracy of the cell wall thickness and the cell shell temperature under non-standard working conditions.
[0063] The nanoCT method is a prior art, which can be found in the literature: Wang, Gang, et al. "Quantitative analysis of microscopic structure and gas seepage characteristics of low-rank coal based on CT three-dimensional reconstruction of CT images and fractal theory." Fuel 256 (2019): 115900.
[0064] Step 3: Based on the aluminum electrolytic cell multi-physical field simulation model constructed in step 2, the cell wall thickness and cell shell temperature under different process parameters are obtained.
[0065] In the specific embodiment of the present application, based on the aluminum electrolytic cell multi-physical field simulation model, the cell wall thickness and cell shell temperature under different process parameters are obtained, specifically including:
[0066] Load the process parameters, physical boundary conditions and parameter constraint conditions on the aluminum electrolytic cell multi-physical field simulation model, and perform iterative solution to obtain the cell wall thickness and cell shell temperature under the process parameters. The multi-physical field includes electric field, thermal field and flow field, the electric field and thermal field dynamically interact, and the heat conduction equation and electromagnetic field equation are combined to simulate the heat loss and cell wall erosion process of the aluminum electrolytic cell sidewall, and calculate the cell wall thickness and cell shell temperature.
[0067] Generally, the physical boundary conditions and parameter constraint conditions are set according to experience, and the present application adopts a multi-scale simulation method to optimize the physical boundary conditions and parameter constraint conditions set according to experience, calculates the interfacial behavior of the electrolyte and the inner village material by analyzing the physical and chemical properties of the microstructure, and provides more optimal physical boundary conditions and parameter constraint conditions for the aluminum electrolytic cell multi-physical field simulation model. The multi-scale simulation method is prior art.
[0068] The aluminum electrolytic cell multi-physical field simulation model of the present application is obtained by micro-interface behavior, mesoscopic material properties and macro multi-scale modeling method, which can comprehensively describe the dynamic evolution process of several important parameters affecting the prediction of the cell wall, and provide analysis on the problems such as cell wall solidification and melting, multi-layer heat transfer and electrolyte component full life cycle parameter coverage.
[0069] Figure 2 The CFD simulation result graph of the cell wall inner shape under different pole distances is shown, and the numbers on the color band represent the liquid volume fraction, which distinguishes the solid-liquid phase of the electrolyte through the liquid volume fraction.
[0070] Step 4: Construct a sample data set according to the cell wall thickness and cell shell temperature under different process parameters obtained in step 3.
[0071] In the specific embodiment of the present application, the sample data set is constructed according to the cell wall thickness and cell shell temperature under different process parameters, including:
[0072] Step 4.1: Denoising and missing value filling processing are performed on the process parameters to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the data.
[0073] For missing or abnormal values, a interpolation method based on variational autoencoder (VAE) is used for repair, and the interpolation formula is:
[0074]
[0075] wherein x i represents the inserted data, x k , x j represents two known data.
[0076] Step 4.2: Standardization and normalization processing of the processed process parameters are performed to eliminate the dimension effect and facilitate subsequent analysis.
[0077] Step 4.3: Integration and format conversion processing of the normalized process parameters; wherein ETL (i.e. extraction, transformation and loading) process is used for integration to provide a global perspective for subsequent analysis; different sources of data are converted to a unified format (including but not limited to.npy, HDF5), and built-in compression (such as gzip or zlib) is used to reduce storage space.
[0078] According to the type and source of data, the data is stored as multiple files or stored in different data sets in the same file; wherein for unstructured data, image format.png,.jpg or text format.csv is used for storage, and compression technology is combined, which can improve storage efficiency, reduce space occupation, and optimize data access and processing performance.
[0079] Step 4.4: Using statistical analysis and machine learning techniques, key features are extracted from the process parameters after format conversion processing, and deep learning algorithms are used to evaluate the correlation of each key feature with the thickness of the tank and the shell temperature (for example, calculating the correlation coefficient).
[0080] Machine learning techniques include but are not limited to principal component analysis, feature importance evaluation, etc., and deep learning algorithms include but are not limited to convolutional neural networks and graph neural networks.
[0081] Step 4.5: According to the evaluation results, determine the relevant features, and according to the determined relevant features and the corresponding tank thickness and shell temperature, construct a sample data set. That is, according to the correlation size, select features with strong correlation with the tank thickness and shell temperature to improve the effectiveness and reliability of the prediction model. Each sample in the sample data set includes an input sample and an output sample, the input sample is the relevant feature corresponding to the process parameter, and the output sample is the tank thickness and shell temperature.
[0082] In order to cover more complex working conditions, the distributed current intensity of the aluminum electrolysis tank, the cover material thickness, the electrolyte primary crystal temperature, the pole distance and the temperature gradient are also introduced in the input sample.
[0083] Step 5: Constructing a tank size prediction model.
[0084] In this embodiment, the slot side size prediction model selects a convolutional neural network model or a recurrent neural network model.
[0085] Step 6: Train the slot side size prediction model constructed in step 5 using the sample data set constructed in step 4 to obtain a target prediction model.
[0086] During the training process of the slot side size prediction model, an Adam optimizer and an automatic parameter tuning algorithm based on Bayesian optimization are used for model parameter optimization.
[0087] Step 7: Obtain real-time process parameters of the aluminum electrolysis cell to be predicted, and use the target prediction model obtained in step 6 to predict the real-time process parameters to obtain a slot side thickness prediction value and a slot shell temperature prediction value.
[0088] Step 8: Obtain a slot side thickness measurement value of a certain anode of the aluminum electrolysis cell to be predicted.
[0089] The service life of the anode of the aluminum electrolysis cell is limited, and the service life is determined according to the anode residual amount and the service condition. When the service life is reached, the anode needs to be replaced. When the anode is manually replaced, the slot side thickness can be measured, i.e., a slot side thickness measurement value is obtained, so as to determine whether the target prediction model is suitable for the current working condition of the aluminum electrolysis cell to be predicted according to the slot side thickness measurement value and the slot side thickness prediction value.
[0090] Step 9: Determine whether the target prediction model meets the prediction accuracy requirement according to the slot side thickness measurement value obtained in step 8 and the slot side thickness prediction value obtained in step 7; if yes, output the slot side thickness prediction value and the slot shell temperature prediction value under the real-time process parameters; if no, adjust the physical performance parameters of the aluminum electrolysis cell multi-physics field simulation model, and based on the adjusted aluminum electrolysis cell multi-physics field simulation model, repeat steps 3, 4, 6 (retrain the target prediction model), 7 and 9 until the target prediction model meets the prediction accuracy requirement, indicating that the target prediction model can adapt to the current working condition.
[0091] When the target prediction model cannot meet the prediction accuracy requirement, the influence of the heat transfer of the electrolysis cell side, the material performance attenuation and the working condition change on the slot side thickness is comprehensively considered, the physical performance parameters of the aluminum electrolysis cell multi-physics field simulation model are adjusted, the slot side thickness and the slot shell temperature under different process parameters are obtained again based on the adjusted aluminum electrolysis cell multi-physics field simulation model, and then the sample data set is constructed again, the target prediction model is retrained using the sample data set, and then the slot side thickness and the slot shell temperature are predicted using the retrained target prediction model, so as to ensure that the target prediction model can adapt to different working conditions.
[0092] In the specific embodiments of the present application, the present application also develops an open API interface, supports real-time integration of the target prediction model with the industrial control system, builds a real-time feedback closed loop between dynamic prediction and the industrial control system, dynamically optimizes the target prediction model based on the dynamic prediction data of the cell side and the cell side measurement data, expands the application range of the target prediction model, and realizes prediction across specifications and across working conditions. By introducing the open API interface, the target prediction model supports rapid adaptation in different aluminum electrolytic cell specifications and complex working conditions, improving the versatility and flexibility of the prediction model.
[0093] The application of the present application to a certain 420kA aluminum electrolytic cell can predict the thickness of the cell side and the change of the cell shell temperature in real time, with a prediction error of less than 3% for the thickness of the cell side and a prediction accuracy of more than 95% for the change trend of the cell shell temperature. Table 3 shows the prediction results for different numbered anodes.
[0094] Table 3 Prediction results corresponding to different numbered anodes
[0095]
[0096]
[0097] The coordinate positions in Table 3 are based on a three-dimensional coordinate system, which takes the starting point of the intersection of the aluminum electrolytic cell flue end center line, the cell shell and the cell bottom lining as the coordinate origin, takes the upward direction as the X axis, takes the left and right directions as the Y axis, and takes the direction towards the aluminum outlet as the Z axis.
[0098] Figure 3 A visualization diagram of the dynamic prediction results of the cell side is shown, which shows the real-time cell side thickness of the aluminum electrolytic cell obtained by the dynamic prediction method of the present application and visualizes it, wherein the color band represents the cell side thickness, and the subgraph is the cell side interface graph of the corresponding position. The prediction time of the present application is 1 min, and the prediction accuracy is 95.31% of the offline prediction, but the offline prediction time is 10-20h.
[0099] Traditional cell side calculation is usually based on fixed physical equations, empirical formulas or simple neural network algorithms, without fully considering the dynamic changes of material properties, resulting in a significant decrease in calculation accuracy under non-standard working conditions. The present application improves the adaptability and prediction accuracy of complex working conditions by fusing structure parameters, process parameters and multi-scale simulation methods, and dynamically adjusting the parameters of the prediction model combined with deep learning technology.
[0100] Compared with the traditional method, the dynamic iterative optimization mechanism is generally based on a one-time model construction, the accuracy and robustness of the prediction model are poor, and the parameters are designed for a specific electrolytic cell, which is difficult to apply in different specifications and working conditions, the adaptability of the target prediction model under the current working condition is evaluated according to the measured cell wall thickness and the cell wall thickness prediction value when the anode is replaced, the aluminum electrolytic cell multi-physical field simulation model is adjusted when the prediction accuracy requirement is not met, and the target prediction model is retrained, so that the prediction result is highly consistent with the actual working condition.
