Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water vapor pipeline network management, and in particular to an AI-based real-time digital twin intelligent computing system for water vapor pipeline networks in industrial parks. Background Art

[0002] In the process of rapid industrialization, industrial parks are important carriers of economic development. Their internal energy management systems, especially steam pipe networks, play a vital role. As a key energy medium in industrial production, the stable and efficient transmission and distribution of steam are directly related to the production efficiency and energy cost of the park. However, traditional steam pipe network management methods face many challenges.

[0003] First, traditional pipe network management relies on manual inspections, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also difficult to achieve comprehensive coverage. Inspectors may miss potential problems due to lack of experience or misjudgment, resulting in frequent pipe network failures and affecting production processes. In addition, manual inspections often fail to obtain pipe network data in real time, making it difficult to respond to sudden abnormal situations in a timely manner, increasing safety risks.

[0004] Secondly, although the existing automated monitoring system has improved the efficiency and accuracy of data collection to a certain extent, it still has problems such as data silos and transmission delays. Data between different devices and systems are difficult to interconnect, resulting in information fragmentation and difficulty in forming a comprehensive perception of the status of the pipeline network. At the same time, delays and losses in the data transmission process will also affect the real-time and reliability of the monitoring system.

[0005] Furthermore, most traditional pipeline network models are based on simplified physical and empirical formulas, which are difficult to accurately reflect the actual operating status of the pipeline network. As the scale of the pipeline network expands and the operating conditions become more complicated, the accuracy and applicability of this simplified model gradually decreases, and it cannot meet the needs of accurate prediction and optimized scheduling of the pipeline network status.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, advanced technologies such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), big data and artificial intelligence (AI) have been introduced into the management of water vapor pipeline network. Industrial Internet of Things technology can realize the interconnection between devices and the real-time collection and transmission of data; big data technology can store, process and analyze massive data and mine the value behind the data; artificial intelligence technology can use advanced algorithms to conduct in-depth learning, prediction and optimization of pipeline network data, thus improving the management level and operation efficiency of the pipeline network.

[0007] However, it is not easy to apply these advanced technologies to the management of steam pipe networks. On the one hand, the steam pipe networks in industrial parks often have complex structures and numerous devices, making it difficult to collect and transmit data. On the other hand, how to build a high-precision digital twin model and use AI algorithms to accurately analyze and predict the pipe network data is also a technical problem currently faced. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a real-time digital twin intelligent computing system for steam pipe networks in industrial parks based on AI, and the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions.

[0018] Further, the wired transmission method is Ethernet or optical fiber; the wireless transmission method is 5G, ZigBee or LoRa.

[0019] Further, the digital twin model layer constructs a digital twin model of the steam pipeline network using three-dimensional modeling technology. The model presents geometric information such as the pipeline layout, pipe diameter size, valve position, and pump station distribution of the pipeline network. At the same time, combined with the material characteristics of the pipeline network, the principles of fluid mechanics, and the technical parameters of the equipment, corresponding physical properties and behavior rules are given to the digital twin model.

[0020] Further, the AI algorithm layer includes:

[0027] The fault warning function, which timely pushes fault warning information to users according to the fault diagnosis results of the AI algorithm layer;

[0028] The optimization scheduling function, which allows users to manually or automatically adjust the scheduling plan of the pipeline network according to the actual production requirements and the operation status of the pipeline network.

[0043] Preferably, the data acquisition layer collects data through sensors distributed on the nodes and equipment of the steam pipe network. The sensors include but are not limited to temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, humidity sensors and equipment status monitoring sensors.

[0044] The data acquisition layer is the cornerstone of the system. It is responsible for collecting key data from each node and equipment of the steam pipe network in the industrial park. In addition to the mentioned temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, humidity sensors and equipment status monitoring sensors, the data acquisition layer may also integrate other types of sensors, such as vibration sensors (used to monitor the vibration of equipment and prevent mechanical failures), chemical sensors (used to detect possible impurities or pollutants in steam), etc. These sensors capture the state changes of steam and the pipe network in real time through high-precision measurements, providing a basis for subsequent data analysis and processing.

[0045] Preferably, the data acquisition layer is equipped with a data acquisition terminal for processing and storing the data collected by the sensors and transmitting the processed data through the data transmission layer.

[0046] The data acquisition terminal is a bridge connecting sensors and the data transmission layer. It is not only responsible for receiving and processing the raw data collected by sensors, but also has a data storage function, which can temporarily store data when the data transmission is interrupted to ensure the integrity and continuity of the data. The data acquisition terminal is usually equipped with a powerful data processing chip and sufficient storage space to handle the real-time processing requirements of a large amount of data. In addition, the data acquisition terminal may also have preliminary data verification and anomaly detection capabilities to filter out invalid or abnormal data and reduce the burden of subsequent data processing.

Wired transmission methods (such as Ethernet or fiber optic) provide high-speed and stable data channels, which are suitable for data transmission between the data acquisition terminal and the local data center. Wireless transmission methods (such as 5G, ZigBee, or LoRa) provide greater flexibility, enabling mobile users or users in remote locations to access data in real time. The data transmission layer also has data encryption and transmission protocol conversion functions to ensure the security and compatibility of data during transmission.

[0049] Preferably, the wired transmission method is Ethernet or fiber optic; the wireless transmission method is 5G, ZigBee, or LoRa.

[0050] Wired transmission method: Ethernet is the first choice due to its wide compatibility and high-speed transmission ability. Fiber optic, with its extremely high transmission speed and anti-interference ability, is suitable for data transmission scenarios with long distances or high bandwidth requirements.

[0051] Wireless transmission method: 5G, with its high speed and low latency characteristics, is suitable for scenarios that require real-time data updates. ZigBee and LoRa, with their low power consumption and long-distance transmission characteristics, are suitable for data transmission in sensor networks or remote areas.

[0052] Preferably, the digital twin model layer uses three-dimensional modeling technology to construct a digital twin model of the steam pipeline network. The model presents geometric information such as the pipeline layout, pipe diameter size, valve position, and pump station distribution of the pipeline network; at the same time, combining the material characteristics of the pipeline network, the principles of fluid mechanics, and the technical parameters of the equipment, corresponding physical properties and behavior rules are given to the digital twin model.

[0053] The digital twin model layer uses advanced 3D modeling technology to construct a virtual model that is highly consistent with the actual steam pipeline network. This model not only presents the geometric information of the pipeline network (such as pipeline layout, pipe diameter size, valve position, pump station distribution, etc.), but also combines the physical properties and behavior rules of the pipeline network (such as material characteristics, fluid mechanics principles, equipment technical parameters, etc.). This enables the digital twin model to accurately simulate the actual operating state of the pipeline network and provide precise data support for the subsequent AI algorithm layer. In addition, the digital twin model layer also supports the dynamic update function, which can adjust the model parameters according to real-time data to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the model.

The data preprocessing module is responsible for cleaning, normalizing, and feature extraction processing to ensure the quality and consistency of the input data. The fault diagnosis module uses deep learning algorithms to automatically identify and analyze abnormal patterns in the data and accurately predict potential fault points. The prediction analysis module uses machine learning algorithms to establish a prediction model for the operating parameters of the pipeline network to predict the future state of the pipeline network. The intelligent scheduling module formulates a reasonable pipeline network scheduling plan according to the prediction analysis results and the actual operating conditions, using intelligent optimization algorithms to achieve efficient utilization of energy and stable operation of the pipeline network.

[0060] Preferably, the functions of the application layer are as follows:

[0061] The pipeline network operating status monitoring function, which real-time displays the operating parameters of each node of the pipeline network and the operating status of equipment through a visual interface;

[0062] The fault warning function, which timely pushes fault warning information to users according to the fault diagnosis results of the AI algorithm layer;

[0063] The optimized scheduling function, which allows users to manually or automatically adjust the scheduling plan of the pipeline network according to actual production needs and the operating conditions of the pipeline network.

[0064] The application layer is the interface for the system to interact with users. It provides functions such as monitoring the operation status of the pipe network, fault warning, and optimal scheduling. The function of monitoring the operation status of the pipe network displays the operation parameters and equipment status of each node of the pipe network in real time through a visual interface, enabling users to intuitively understand the overall operation status of the pipe network. The fault warning function pushes warning information to users in a timely manner according to the fault diagnosis results of the AI algorithm layer, reminding users to take necessary maintenance measures. The optimal scheduling function allows users to manually or automatically adjust the scheduling plan of the pipe network according to actual production needs and the operation status of the pipe network, achieving optimal allocation of energy and stable operation of the pipe network. In addition, the application layer also supports data export and report generation functions, facilitating data analysis and decision-making support for users.
