Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of boiler heating technology, and in particular to a boiler heating monitoring and control method based on dynamic optimization control and a boiler heating system. Background Art
[0002] A boiler air heater is a heat exchanger that uses low-pressure steam extracted from a steam turbine to heat the air entering the air preheater. Installed between the blower outlet and the air preheater inlet, it is also called a pre-mounted air preheater. Installing a heater raises the temperature of the air entering the air preheater, raising the wall temperature and thus preventing low-temperature corrosion. The traditional method of preheating the boiler's inlet air with steam from an auxiliary steam header consumes large amounts of steam and consumes high energy. This is especially true in low winter temperatures, where the large temperature difference between the ambient air and the steam inside the boiler air heater can easily cause the heater to freeze.
[0003] In order to reduce the operating energy consumption of the boiler inlet air preheating system, the low-temperature waste heat media such as exhaust steam, circulating water, and desulfurization slurry discharged from coal-fired power plants are used to preheat the boiler inlet air. This not only saves a lot of auxiliary steam consumption, but also realizes the effective utilization of low-temperature waste heat and reduces boiler heat loss.
[0004] However, in the low temperature environment in winter, during the heat exchange process of low-temperature waste heat media such as exhaust steam, circulating water, and desulfurization slurry with ambient air in the heater, there are still uneven heat exchange and flow of the heat exchange media, and a lack of rapid and effective control measures, which leads to freezing and blockage of the system, seriously affecting the stable operation of the system. There is an urgent need for an intelligent monitoring and control method based on the air inlet system of the low-temperature waste heat preheating boiler of a coal-fired power plant to achieve anti-freeze protection and efficient operation of the heating system, ensure the long-term stable operation of the boiler heating system under different seasonal temperature conditions such as low temperature conditions in winter, and reduce operating costs and maintenance costs.

[0065] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0066] See also Figure 1In one embodiment of the present application, a boiler heating system is provided. The boiler heating system includes a first-stage air preheating channel 1, a boiler blower 2, and a second-stage air preheating channel 3, which are arranged in sequence. The boiler blower 2 delivers ambient air through the first-stage air preheating channel 1 and the second-stage air preheating channel 3 to the boiler furnace for mixing and combustion with pulverized coal. A two-stage air heater is provided in the first-stage air preheating channel 1, including a first heater 4 and a second heater 5 along the air inlet direction. A first-stage heater, namely a third heater 6, is provided in the second-stage air preheating channel 3. A first embedded thermometer 7 is provided on the leeward side of the first heater, a second embedded thermometer 8 is provided on the windward side of the second heater, and a third embedded thermometer 9 is provided on the windward side of the third heater. The first embedded thermometer collects the temperature of each point on the leeward side of the first heater, the second embedded thermometer collects the temperature of each point on the windward side of the second heater, and the third embedded thermometer collects the temperature of each point on the windward side of the third heater. The high-temperature medium inlets of both the first and second air heaters 4 and 5 are connected to a first-stage heating pump 12. Control valves are installed in their respective pipelines: a first control valve 14 is installed in the connecting pipeline to the first air heater 4, and a second control valve 15 is installed in the connecting pipeline to the second air heater 5. The first-stage heating pump delivers the high-temperature heat exchange medium to the two-stage air heaters within the first-stage inlet preheating channel, where it exchanges heat with the air entering the first-stage inlet preheating channel, raising the boiler inlet air temperature. The high-temperature medium inlet of the third air heater 6 is connected to a second-stage heating pump 13. A third control valve 16 is installed in the connecting pipeline. The second-stage heating pump 13 delivers the high-temperature heat exchange medium to the third air heater to further heat the air entering the boiler furnace. Finned tubes are used in all three air heaters. In the first heater, an embedded thermometer is located on the leeward side of the finned tubes to collect the temperature of the first heater's leeward side. In the second and third heaters, embedded thermometers are located on the windward side of the finned tubes to collect the temperature of the second and third heaters' windward sides. The density of embedded thermometers at each heater is 3-5 per square meter, with a temperature range of -10-80°C and an accuracy of ±0.2°C. Each embedded thermometer (first embedded thermometer 7, second embedded thermometer 8, and third embedded thermometer 9) is connected to a processor 17 via a data cable. Processor 17 is responsible for collecting, recording, and analyzing the temperature field distribution during the operation of each heater, evaluating the heating system's performance, and providing feedback to a controller 18. Controller 18 is connected to the pipeline valves of each stage of the heating pump and boiler blower via control lines. Specifically, the controller 18 is simultaneously connected to the primary warm air pump 12 , the secondary warm air pump 13 , the first control valve 14 , the second control valve 15 , the third control valve 16 , and the air volume control valve of the boiler blower 2 .The controller 18 feeds back the operating status through the processor 17, adjusts the first-stage heater pump, the second-stage heater pump, the boiler blower and the heat exchange medium outlet pipeline valves of each heater, and adjusts the heat exchange medium operating parameters of different areas accordingly to prevent the heat exchange medium temperature in the heater from being too low and causing freezing and to improve the heating effect.
[0067] Ambient temperature is a key factor influencing boiler heating control. This approach typically involves placing multiple sets of embedded thermometers at intervals on the heater surface. This creates temperature blind spots within the space where the embedded thermometers are located. These blind spots are undetectable by the embedded thermometers and can potentially damage the equipment due to low temperatures. The typical density of embedded thermometers is 3-5 per square meter, making excessively increasing the number of embedded thermometers unrealistic. Existing techniques typically set the minimum allowable temperature for feedback control higher to mitigate system operational risks.
[0068] See also Figure 2 Based on this, in some embodiments of the present application, the boiler heating system includes a thermal imaging camera, and the thermal imaging camera includes a first thermal imaging camera 10 and a second thermal imaging camera 11. Specifically, the first thermal imaging camera is arranged in the leeward direction of the first heater, facing the leeward side of the first heater, for sensing the temperature field distribution of the leeward side of the first heater and collecting image information, and the second thermal imaging camera is arranged in the windward direction of the second heater, facing the leeward side of the second heater, for sensing the temperature field distribution of the windward side of the second heater and collecting image information. Being arranged on the corresponding leeward side and windward side is an optional embodiment. In this embodiment, each thermal imaging camera collects the temperature field distribution map of the leeward side of the first heater and the windward side of the second heater respectively, and transmits it to the processor 17. The processor 17 receives the temperature information from each embedded thermometer and the temperature field distribution map of each thermal imaging camera and processes them. Two thermal imaging cameras collect the temperature field distribution map of the leeward fin of the first heater and the temperature field distribution map of the windward fin of the second heater respectively; the thermal sensing area recognition accuracy of the two thermal imaging cameras is 0.01-0.05m 2 The temperature sensing accuracy is ±0.5°C, and the recognition range of each thermal imaging instrument can be adaptively adjusted based on the area occupied by the heater within the cross-section. It is understandable that the thermal imaging camera is a certain distance away from the heater in the warm air channel, so it can reflect the temperature information of the heater surface as a whole.
[0069] This embodiment provides a boiler heating system, which includes a first-level air inlet preheating channel, a boiler blower, and a second-level air inlet preheating channel arranged in sequence. The first-level air inlet preheating channel and the second-level air inlet preheating channel are both warm air channels. A first air heater and a second air heater are provided in the first-level air inlet preheating channel, and a third air heater is provided in the second-level air inlet preheating channel. The first air heater, the second air heater, and the third air heater are all used to perform heat exchange with the corresponding warm air channel through the heat exchange medium supplied by the heater.
[0070] The boiler heating system includes a processor and a controller. The processor is used to implement the boiler heating monitoring and control method based on dynamic optimization control in each embodiment of the present application, and adjust the heat exchange medium operating parameters of the heater through the controller.
[0071] It can be understood that the boiler heating monitoring and control methods based on dynamic optimization control provided in the various embodiments of the present application are repeatedly configured for different heater areas. Specifically, it includes boiler heating monitoring and control methods that are repeatedly configured in three different areas: the first heater area, the second heater area, and the third heater area. Among them, the first heater area and the second heater area are respectively provided with a first thermal induction imager 10 and a second thermal induction imager 11, and the same two sets of boiler heating monitoring and control methods are applied at the same time. The difference lies in the different settings of the corresponding parameter values, such as the target adjustment temperature, various weights, etc. In the third heater area, since the temperature has risen to a higher level, there is no risk of freezing, and there is no need to configure a thermal induction imager, so the boiler heating monitoring and control method can be simplified. The present application prevents the heat exchange medium (heated water) in the heater from freezing and cracking in the heat exchange pipe under low temperature conditions in winter by performing staged heating of the boiler heating system and detecting and controlling the heating system, thereby improving the operating stability of the system.
[0072] See also Figure 3 In each embodiment of the present application, the control method of the warm air flow in the first heater area and the second heater area is the same, specifically a boiler warm air monitoring and control method based on dynamic optimization control (hereinafter referred to as a boiler warm air monitoring and control method), including steps S100 to S300, wherein:
[0073] Step S100, constructing a two-dimensional coordinate system extending along the cross section of the warm air channel based on the surface of the heater, collecting point temperature data of a portion of the two-dimensional coordinate system, and collecting temperature field distribution data of the two-dimensional coordinate system;
[0074] Step S200, using the point temperature data, correcting the temperature field distribution data to obtain a temperature field distribution model;
[0075] Step S300: periodically and dynamically optimize and feedback-control the operating parameters of the heat exchange medium according to the temperature field distribution model.
[0076] The two-dimensional coordinate system of this application can be understood as a plane coordinate system formed by the collection locations of temperature data at different points on the surface of the heater. In this two-dimensional coordinate system, the point temperature data provides accurate point temperature information, and the temperature field distribution data provides comprehensive cross-sectional temperature information. The point temperature data and the temperature field distribution data are corrected and coordinated to form an accurate and comprehensive temperature field distribution model. That is, the point temperature data is used to calibrate the precision of the surface temperature data, ensuring the accuracy of the temperature field model. The surface temperature data is used to fill in the blank areas between the point temperature data, providing more detailed temperature distribution information. Combining these two factors into a single input factor facilitates the control algorithm to adjust the operating parameters of the heat exchange medium within the heater. The temperature field distribution model combines both local and global information from the two-dimensional coordinate system, sensitively detecting low or uneven temperatures and finding the lowest operating load state that simultaneously meets the minimum temperature and temperature uniformity requirements. This reduces operating costs and maintenance expenses while ensuring stability during long-term operation. This embodiment utilizes the cold-end medium preheating system of a coal-fired power plant to carry out full-process intelligent monitoring and control, providing a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the boiler heating system in winter environments.
[0077] See also Figure 4 One embodiment of the present application provides a boiler warm air monitoring and control method, comprising: a first step of information collection and preprocessing, corresponding to step S100 and its substeps; a second step of constructing a temperature field distribution model, corresponding to step S200 and its substeps; a third step of dynamically optimizing a control algorithm; and a fourth step of control execution and feedback, both corresponding to step S300 and its substeps.
[0078] Step S100 constructs a two-dimensional coordinate system based on the heater surface and extending along the cross-section of the warm air duct. Specifically, the system constructs a two-dimensional coordinate system based on the heater surface and extending along the cross-section of the warm air duct. The origin of the coordinate system (0, 0) is located at a preset reference point in the cross-section of the warm air duct. The X-axis and Y-axis extend horizontally and vertically, respectively, and are measured in meters (m). The temperature at any location is represented by the coordinates (X, Y), where X is the horizontal coordinate and Y is the vertical coordinate. The coordinates of the thermal imager and the thermometer are unified in the same coordinate system.
[0079] The first step, information collection and preprocessing, includes data collection, data cleaning, and normalization. Data collection includes collecting point temperature data for a portion of a two-dimensional coordinate system and collecting temperature field distribution data for the two-dimensional coordinate system.
[0080] In step S100, temperature data is collected at points within a portion of the two-dimensional coordinate system. This includes installing several temperature sensors (e.g., embedded thermometers) on the heater surface to collect temperature data at points on the heater surface corresponding to the two-dimensional coordinate system. An optimal implementation is one in which the temperature sensors are positioned in a manner that corresponds exactly to the coordinates in the two-dimensional coordinate system.
[0081] In step S100, temperature field distribution data in a two-dimensional coordinate system is collected. Specifically, the process includes: placing a thermal imaging camera on the surface of the heater to collect a temperature field distribution map, and converting the image information of the temperature field distribution map into temperature field distribution data in a two-dimensional coordinate system. The temperature field distribution map is a graphical representation of the temperature distribution area. The graphical representation of the temperature distribution area is mapped to a two-dimensional coordinate system, and the temperature field distribution data at the corresponding coordinate position is obtained through image recognition.
[0082] The second step is to construct a temperature field distribution model, which corresponds to step S200 and its sub-steps. Step S200 specifically includes steps S210 to S240, wherein:
[0083] In step S210 , the temperature field distribution data includes a first portion of data corresponding to the coordinate position of the point temperature data and the remaining second portion of data.
[0084] Step S220 , obtaining the actual correction term of the difference between the point temperature data and the first portion of the data at the corresponding coordinate position.
[0085] Step S230 , performing an interpolation operation on the actual correction term in a two-dimensional coordinate system to obtain a calculated correction term for correcting the second portion of data.
[0086] In step S240 , the first portion of data and the second portion of data are corrected using the actual correction term and the calculated correction term, respectively, to complete the correction of the temperature field distribution data and obtain a temperature field distribution model.
[0087] The temperature field distribution data is divided into a first part of data that can correspond and a second part of data that cannot correspond, based on whether it can correspond to the coordinate position of the point temperature data. The detected temperature of the point temperature data is reliable and accurate, and the actual correction item can be obtained after the difference. The actual correction items at different positions will have different deviation values in the entire coordinate system. At this time, the calculated correction items for correcting the second part of the data can be obtained through interpolation operations. Step S200 is specifically implemented by the processor 17. The processor 17 receives the temperature information from each embedded thermometer and the image information from each thermal imaging camera, completes image recognition, performs difference operations and interpolation operations, and constructs a temperature field distribution model for the heater. , the interpolation operation can be, for example, a bilinear interpolation algorithm. Construct the obtained heater temperature field distribution model , which can update in real time and dynamically reflect the changing trend of the temperature field. Under the premise of ensuring accuracy, it simplifies the complexity of the model, improves the calculation efficiency, and meets the real-time control needs.
[0088] For step S200, specifically, the temperature field distribution model T(X, Y) is used to describe the temperature at a point (X, Y) in a two-dimensional coordinate system, and its formula is as follows:
[0089]
[0090] in:
[0091] T(X,Y), is the temperature field distribution model;
[0092] , which is the relative temperature field obtained based on the temperature field distribution map (i.e., the surface distribution map obtained by the thermal imager);
[0093] , is the total correction term based on the point thermometer data, including actual correction term and calculated correction term. All correction terms are obtained as follows:
[0094] At the calibration point (i.e. the location of the temperature sensor) Calculate the error between the thermal imager data and the embedded thermometer data to obtain the actual correction term:
[0095]
[0096] in:
[0097] , is the absolute temperature value of the coordinate position of the temperature sensor;
[0098] , is the coordinate position of the temperature sensor and the relative temperature field identified by the temperature field distribution map.
[0099] Furthermore, the actual correction term is interpolated by bilinear interpolation to generate a continuous correction term function , covering the entire coordinate system. The above method is applicable to the warm air flow control of the first and second heater areas within the primary air inlet preheating channel. For the temperature field distribution model of the secondary air inlet preheating channel, since no thermal imager is provided, the flow control of the third heater area is simplified based on step S200. That is, the temperature field distribution model of the boiler warm air monitoring and control method implemented in the third heater area is obtained as follows:
[0100]
[0101] Where, Interpolate is the interpolation operation; Coordinate position detected by the temperature sensor The temperature value. Generate a continuous temperature field distribution model through bilinear interpolation method. , covering the entire cross section.
[0102] The third step of dynamic optimization control algorithm and the fourth step of control execution and feedback correspond to step S300 and its sub-steps. Step S300 specifically includes steps S310 to S320:
[0103] Step S310, establishing an overall objective function for dynamic optimization, the overall objective function including an antifreeze objective function for preventing the temperature from falling below a minimum allowable temperature, a heat exchange efficiency objective function for limiting the deviation between the average surface temperature of the heater and a target temperature, and an energy saving objective function;
[0104] Step S320, set the initial heat exchange medium operating parameters and the initial heat exchange medium operating parameter adjustment amount, use the gradient descent method to calculate the total objective function, periodically and dynamically update the heat exchange medium operating parameter adjustment amount, and change the heat exchange medium operating parameters of the previous period according to the updated heat exchange medium operating parameter adjustment amount.
[0105] In this embodiment, the constructed total objective function is calculated and optimized. The total objective function includes: antifreeze objective function, heat exchange efficiency objective function, and energy saving objective function. By optimizing the balance of the total objective function, the intelligent adjustment of the operating parameters of the heat exchange medium of the heater is realized. The operating parameters of the heat exchange medium can be, for example, the flow rate, pressure or temperature of the heat exchange medium. According to the requirements of different scenarios, the weight coefficients of different specific objective functions can be dynamically adjusted to flexibly adapt to actual operating conditions. To optimize the objective function, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the three goals of antifreeze, efficient heat exchange and energy saving. Adapt to any coordinate point The temperature field distribution can be expanded from local points to the global region, ensuring more accurate and efficient dynamic optimization control of the system. The antifreeze objective function ensures that the heater wall temperature does not fall below the minimum allowable temperature (set threshold, such as 3°C). The energy-saving objective function minimizes operating energy consumption while ensuring antifreeze and efficient heat exchange.
[0106] Specifically, the overall objective function in step S310 is expressed using the following formula:
[0107]
[0108] Where:
[0109] J , is the overall objective function;
[0110] J 1, is the antifreeze objective function;
[0111] J 2, is the objective function of heat transfer efficiency;
[0112] , is the energy-saving objective function;
[0113] , , , are weight coefficients, users can dynamically adjust the weight coefficients according to the system operation status. For example: priority antifreeze target in winter ( =0.7, =0.2, =0.1); Summer priority energy saving target ( =0.3, =0.4, =0.3).
[0114] The optimal control strategy is then solved, and the fourth step of control execution and feedback is executed to adjust the heat exchange medium operating parameters of each heater, and then detect whether the feedback temperature has reached the set threshold. During this process, the dynamic optimization control algorithm is combined to analyze the temperature change trend and heat exchange medium flow state in the temperature field distribution model, calculate the flow adjustment parameters of each heater, and output the corresponding control signal for execution by the controller. During normal system operation, the controller receives the control signal from the processor and, based on the heat exchange medium operating parameter adjustment amount calculated by the dynamic optimization algorithm sent by the processor, fine-tunes the heat exchange medium operating parameters in real time. For example, by adjusting the valve opening of the corresponding control valve, the heat exchange medium operating parameters of each heater are dynamically adjusted.

[0164] In some embodiments, the boiler heater monitoring and control method includes: real-time detection of the lowest temperature at each coordinate position of the temperature field distribution model in a two-dimensional coordinate system, and traversing the maximum temperature difference between any two different coordinate positions. If the maximum temperature difference is higher than a first threshold and / or the lowest temperature is lower than a second threshold, an abnormal state is entered, and the heat exchange medium operating parameters of the heater are adjusted accordingly, and an abnormal state alarm is issued.
[0165] When an abnormal situation is detected, the controller immediately increases the flow of the heat exchange medium in the corresponding heater according to the preset fixed flow adjustment strategy to ensure the safety of the system. When the abnormal situation is eliminated, it switches to flow adjustment based on the dynamic optimization algorithm to ensure the continuous efficient and stable operation of the system. The abnormal situation is as follows: when the maximum temperature difference between two measuring points on the surface of the heater is greater than 8°C, the flow of the heat exchange medium corresponding to the heater is controlled to increase by 50%; when the maximum temperature difference between the two measuring points on the surface of the heater is greater than 15°C, the flow of the heat exchange medium corresponding to the heater is controlled to increase by 100%; when the minimum temperature on the surface of the first heater is less than 3°C, the flow of the heat exchange medium corresponding to the first heater is controlled to increase by 50%; when the minimum temperature on the surface of the first heater is less than 1°C, the flow of the heat exchange medium corresponding to the first heater is controlled to increase by 100%.
[0166] The various embodiments of this application utilize a boiler heater monitoring and control method based on dynamic optimization control. By collecting real-time point-level temperature data and surface temperature field image information, they construct an accurate multi-source data-fused temperature field distribution model, analyze the temperature variation trends and heat exchange medium flow patterns within the temperature field distribution model, and generate an optimal control strategy. Based on this control strategy, the flow regulation parameters for each heater are calculated and the corresponding control signals are output. Based on this data analysis, the controller intelligently adjusts the heater's heat exchange medium operating parameters, achieving dynamic and refined regulation.
