[0111] Example 2
[0112] Reference Figure 8 As shown, based on the first embodiment, this embodiment further provides a boiler operation management method based on electrical automation, comprising the following steps:
[0113] S1. Data collection: Data collection is the first step in boiler operation management, ensuring that the system can obtain the boiler operation status in real time and perform subsequent control.
[0114] Data collection process:
[0115] The system collects real-time operating data through sensors installed at different key locations of the boiler (including temperature, pressure, fuel flow and air volume sensors). Specifically, temperature sensors detect furnace, exhaust, and water temperatures, pressure sensors monitor steam and water pressure, fuel flow meters monitor fuel supply, and air volume sensors detect primary and secondary air flow.
[0116] The data sensor sends the collected data to the central control system through communication protocols (such as Modbus and Profibus). The data transmission adopts redundant design to ensure that the data will not be lost in the event of network fluctuations or interruptions.
[0117] Underlying technology:
[0118] The sensor network uses low-power communication technologies (such as LoRa or Zigbee) to ensure energy efficiency and signal coverage, which is particularly suitable for deployment in large-scale boiler plants.
[0119] The sensor signal in the data acquisition unit is converted into a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and then enters the embedded processor for preprocessing to eliminate noise and mutations to ensure the accuracy and stability of the data.
[0120] S2. Real-time analysis and optimization: After the collected data is processed, it is analyzed by the core control unit to ensure that the operating parameters of the boiler can be adaptively adjusted according to the real-time status.
[0121] Analysis and optimization process:
[0122] The adaptive combustion optimization module in the core control unit adjusts the fuel supply, air volume and burner swing angle according to real-time data. The module uses advanced control algorithms (such as a combination of fuzzy control and PID control) to ensure that the boiler combustion efficiency is optimized.
[0123] The system will continuously adjust the combustion parameters according to external environmental parameters (such as external temperature, humidity, etc.) and internal data of the boiler to avoid fuel waste or excessive air supply, thereby maintaining optimal combustion conditions.
[0124] Underlying technology:
[0125] Real-time data is processed by multi-threading through parallel processors to ensure that a large amount of sensor data can be processed every second. The core control unit uses an embedded Linux operating system to support real-time data processing and the generation of high-precision control instructions.
[0126] The control algorithm is implemented in FPGA (field programmable gate array), which can speed up the response and is particularly suitable for high-frequency data acquisition and control scenarios.
[0127] S3. Fault prediction and alarm: The fault prediction and alarm module uses machine learning algorithms to predict potential equipment failures in real time and provide early warnings.
[0128] Fault prediction and alarm process:
[0129] The fault prediction module analyzes the boiler's historical operating data and real-time status, and combines decision trees and neural network algorithms to determine whether the equipment has potential faults. For example, if the steam pressure is in the high value area for a long time, the system will issue an early warning of excessive pressure.
[0130] When the system detects an abnormality in the boiler's operating parameters (such as temperature, pressure, fuel flow, etc.), it immediately notifies the operator through the alarm module. The alarm signal can be sent to relevant personnel through local display, remote monitoring platform or mobile device.
[0131] Underlying technology:
[0132] The fault prediction module uses machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch to train historical data and generate a fault prediction model. The model parameters are updated through continuous machine learning iterations to ensure that the prediction accuracy increases as the data increases.
[0133] The real-time alarm uses a dual mechanism, which can generate hardware alarm signals on the local PLC controller and also remotely alarm through the SCADA system to ensure multiple protections.
[0134] S4. Execution adjustment: The execution unit is responsible for dynamically adjusting the key parameters of the boiler according to the instructions of the core control unit.
[0135] Execute the adjustment process:
[0136] Based on the results of real-time analysis, the system adjusts the opening of the fuel supply valve through a servo motor to ensure that the fuel supply matches the actual needs of the boiler.
[0137] The air volume control module adjusts the supply of primary and secondary air through the variable frequency fan to ensure that the air supply is coordinated with the fuel combustion. The fan control system dynamically adjusts the wind speed and air volume based on real-time monitoring data.
[0138] Underlying technology:
[0139] The servo control system uses high-speed serial communication (such as EtherCAT or CAN bus) to transmit control instructions, ensuring that the fuel supply and air supply can respond quickly according to real-time data. The frequency conversion fan is adjusted through PWM (pulse width modulation) signal, which can accurately control the air volume.
[0140] A distributed control structure is used in the system to ensure that each execution unit can respond to instructions independently and maintain synchronous execution.
[0141] S5. Big data analysis and optimization suggestion generation: The big data analysis module is responsible for processing and analyzing the long-term operation data of the boiler and providing optimization suggestions.
[0142] Big data analysis process:
[0143] The system uses big data analysis tools (such as Hadoop and Spark) to deeply mine the long-term stored historical operation data (including temperature, pressure, fuel consumption and emissions). The energy consumption optimization analysis module discovers the energy consumption characteristics of the boiler under different working conditions based on the data pattern and generates optimization adjustment suggestions.
[0144] The emission monitoring module continuously monitors the pollutant emissions of the boiler to ensure that the boiler's emissions meet environmental protection requirements, and provides suggestions for reducing pollutant emissions through analysis of emission data.
[0145] Underlying technology:
[0146] Distributed data storage systems (such as HDFS) are used to store and process large-scale historical data. Combining Hadoop and MapReduce technologies to perform parallel computing on data can quickly identify energy consumption problems and emission anomalies.
[0147] Optimization recommendations are generated based on the random forest algorithm and support vector machine model, which can extract correlations from multidimensional data and generate detailed optimization strategies.
[0148] S6. Remote monitoring and operation: The remote monitoring and operation module allows operators to monitor the boiler status in real time and perform remote operations through the SCADA system or cloud-based platform.
[0149] Remote monitoring and operation process:
[0150] Through the SCADA system, operators can remotely view the boiler's operating data, including real-time temperature, pressure, fuel supply and air volume data. The system uses TLS / SSL encrypted communication technology to ensure the security of data transmission.
[0151] Operators can remotely adjust the operating status of the boiler through the operation interface of the cloud platform. Through intelligent control algorithms, parameters such as fuel supply, air volume, and burner swing angle are adjusted. The system provides real-time feedback on the adjusted operating status, which facilitates operators to further optimize control strategies.
[0152] Underlying technology:
[0153] Remote monitoring and operation use TCP / IP-based communication, combined with VPN and firewall technology to ensure system security. The operation interface interacts with the backend server through REST API to ensure response speed and data security.
[0154] Real-time operation instructions are transmitted through encrypted communication channels, and the system uses data encryption technology (such as AES-256) to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data transmission to prevent external attacks or data leakage.
