Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water-cooled wall safety protection, and in particular to a temperature control method based on full-furnace water-cooled wall dynamic simulation. Background Art

[0002] Furnace water walls are commonly used heat exchange equipment in high-temperature, high-pressure processes such as power generation and petrochemicals. Their primary function is to efficiently transfer heat generated by the combustion flames to the cooling water, thereby ensuring safe and stable operation of the furnace. Water walls typically use water as the cooling medium, and the water flow within them removes heat, preventing damage to the wall material due to overheating. In power plants, heat generated by fuel combustion flows through the water walls to heat circulating water, which is converted into steam in the boiler and then used to drive the steam turbine to generate electricity. Furnace water walls are typically constructed of welded steel pipes, offering excellent thermal conductivity and strength, capable of withstanding high temperatures and high pressures. The design and operation of furnace water walls are influenced by a variety of factors, including cooling water flow rate, inlet water temperature, and water flow conditions. To maximize heat exchange efficiency, water wall design typically requires excellent fluid dynamics, ensuring turbulent cooling water flow within the pipes for optimal heat transfer. However, the harsh operating environment and complex fluid dynamics present numerous challenges in temperature control within furnace water walls.

[0003] Traditional temperature control systems typically rely on a single temperature sensor for monitoring, resulting in inaccurate and limited data. For water-cooled walls spanning a large area, local temperature fluctuations often cannot be reflected by a single sensor, leading to information lags and misjudgments, thus compromising the cooling efficiency of the entire system. Existing technologies fail to fully account for the complex nonlinear characteristics of fluid dynamics and heat conduction. This results in slow response and low prediction accuracy when dealing with dynamically changing operating conditions, making it difficult to meet the demands of real-time control.

[0036] The collected historical structural parameters, historical cycle parameters, historical temperature data of risk areas and temperature data of risk areas at the next moment are preprocessed and divided into training sets and test sets.

[0037] A convolutional neural network (CNN) basic model was constructed, consisting of an input layer, convolutional layers, pooling layers, fully connected layers, and an output layer. The input layer receives preprocessed input data, including historical structural parameters, historical circulation parameters, and historical temperature data for risk areas. The convolutional layer, consisting of multiple convolution kernels, extracts features from the input data and generates feature maps. The pooling layer reduces the spatial dimensionality of the feature maps. The fully connected layers integrate the extracted features.

[0042] Each initial sample point is used as a hyperparameter of the prediction model, and the corresponding objective function value is calculated. The objective function value is the loss function.

[0043] Based on the initial sample points and their corresponding objective function values, a proxy model is constructed.

By monitoring temperature data in risk areas in real time, combining it with a constructed convolutional neural network prediction model and incorporating a Bayesian optimization algorithm for hyperparameter optimization, the accuracy and stability of temperature predictions are ensured. This deep learning-based prediction method can capture complex patterns in temperature changes, providing a more sensitive and effective response in a real-time changing environment. When the temperature data output by the prediction model approaches or exceeds a set adjustment threshold, an adaptive adjustment mechanism is automatically introduced to dynamically adjust the circulation parameters to ensure that the water-cooled wall temperature remains within a safe range. This not only increases the flexibility and intelligence of the cooling system but also significantly enhances the overall safety of the equipment, effectively preventing equipment damage or safety accidents caused by temperature anomalies. When the predicted temperature in a risk area reaches the warning threshold, an alarm is immediately triggered, quickly notifying operators to take appropriate emergency measures. This extends temperature control beyond the analysis of historical and current data to provide a scientific basis for real-time processing and response, forming a closed loop of data monitoring, analysis, and response. This surpasses the limitations of traditional methods and demonstrates the potential of modern automated control technology in industrial applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 3 The temperature control method based on dynamic simulation of the whole furnace water-cooled wall of the present invention is described.

[0056] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a temperature control method based on dynamic simulation of the entire furnace water-cooled wall provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the temperature control method based on dynamic simulation of the whole furnace water wall provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0058] The structural parameters and circulation parameters of the water-cooled wall of the entire furnace are collected in real time, and the structural parameters and circulation parameters are preprocessed to obtain preprocessed data.

[0059] Structural parameters include geometric structure data and thermophysical parameters. Thermophysical parameters include thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity. Circulation parameters include flow rate data, flow rate data, and cooling water temperature data for the water wall water circulation.

[0060] The process of preprocessing structural parameters and cycle parameters includes:

[0061] The Kalman filter algorithm was used to remove random noise in the structural and circulatory parameters, and the Z-score method was used to identify and remove outliers in the structural and circulatory parameters.

[0062] The moving average method was used to smooth the structural and cyclic parameters, and data normalization was used to convert the structural and cyclic parameters to a uniform range.

[0063] Interpolation method was used to process missing values ​​in structural parameters and circulation parameters to obtain a complete data set, which was used as preprocessed data.

[0064] Various sensors and monitoring devices installed on the water wall accurately capture cooling water flow rate, temperature, and pressure parameters, as well as the material properties and piping structure of the water wall. Real-time monitoring provides detailed operational status data. Data cleaning, removal of outliers, and missing values ​​ensure data validity and accuracy. Standardization and normalization techniques are employed to reduce dimensional differences between parameters, making model construction more robust. This preprocessed data fully reflects the actual operating conditions of the water wall, laying a solid foundation for developing the heat exchange model.

[0065] Based on the preprocessed data, combined with fluid dynamics and heat conduction theory, a heat exchange model is established to simulate the temperature distribution of the water-cooled wall, and a dynamic simulation model of the water-cooled wall of the entire furnace is constructed.

[0066] Figure 2 3 is a schematic diagram of a process for simulating the temperature distribution of a water-cooled wall in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2, the process of simulating the temperature distribution of the water-cooled wall includes:

[0068] Use the fluid dynamics equations to obtain the velocity field and pressure field of the cooling water flowing inside the water wall.

[0069] A heat conduction model is established based on the velocity field and pressure field combined with Fourier's law.

[0070] According to the heat exchange principle, the heat conduction model is combined with the fluid dynamics model to establish the heat exchange model of the water-cooled wall.

[0071] Set boundary conditions and initial conditions. The boundary conditions include the temperature and flow rate at the water wall inlet and the temperature and flow rate at the outlet.

[0072] The finite difference method is used to solve the heat exchange model and obtain the temperature distribution of the water-cooled wall.

[0073] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the process of constructing a dynamic simulation model of the entire furnace water-cooled wall in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure 2, the process of building a dynamic simulation model of the entire furnace water-cooled wall includes:

[0075] Set up the 3D simulation basic model framework based on the preprocessed data.

[0076] Combining fluid dynamics and heat conduction theory, a set of equations describing the change of water-cooled wall temperature with time is established. The equations include flow equations and heat conduction equations.

[0077] The temperature distribution of the water-cooled wall is used as the initial standard of the three-dimensional simulation basic model, and the flow rate and flow rate of the water circulation in the water-cooled wall are used as the boundary standards.

[0078] Set the time step to perform dynamic simulation on the 3D simulation base model.

[0079] The equations are solved by the finite element method to generate time series data of water-cooled wall temperature and obtain the dynamic simulation model of the water-cooled wall of the whole furnace.

[0080] Combining fluid dynamics and heat conduction theory, a heat exchange model was constructed to simulate the temperature distribution throughout the furnace's water-cooled walls. By analyzing the cooling water's flow characteristics and heat transfer processes, the model depicts temperature trends at various locations. This not only provides important reference data for actual operation but also instantly identifies areas of potential temperature anomalies. Through continuously updated preprocessed data and model output, the temperature distribution throughout the furnace's water-cooled walls is captured in real time, enabling the system to proactively identify and warn of potential risks. This provides a scientific basis for subsequent risk area definition and temperature prediction.

[0081] Based on the temperature distribution of the water-cooled wall and the structural parameters, areas prone to temperature anomalies are identified as risk areas.

[0082] The process of identifying risk areas includes:

[0083] The dynamic simulation model of the entire furnace water-cooled wall is divided into regions.

[0084] The temperature data of each area of ​​the dynamic simulation model of the whole furnace water-cooled wall is collected in real time to generate the temperature time series curve of each area and the spatial distribution map of the whole furnace water-cooled wall.

[0085] According to the fluid dynamics combined with the spatial distribution map, the flow state data in each area is obtained.

[0086] A risk coefficient calculation model is established to obtain the risk coefficient of each area based on the average temperature, peak temperature, flow state data and structural parameters of each area.

[0087] The area whose risk factor reaches the preset risk factor threshold is regarded as the risk area.

[0088] Based on the simulation results of the heat exchange model, the system can identify areas prone to temperature anomalies and define them as risk zones. By collecting real-time temperature data from these risk areas, local temperature conditions can be immediately understood, improving sensitivity to temperature fluctuations. This effectively focuses attention on key risk areas, avoiding indiscriminate monitoring of the entire water wall, saving resources and time. By focusing on these areas, responses can be accelerated, improving the effectiveness and targeted nature of temperature control.

[0089] The temperature data of the risk area is collected in real time, a prediction model based on convolutional neural network is constructed, and the hyperparameters of the prediction model are optimized using the Bayesian optimization algorithm. The preprocessed data and the real-time temperature data of the risk area are input, and the predicted temperature data of the risk area at the next moment is output.

[0090] The process of building a prediction model based on a convolutional neural network includes:

[0091] Collect the historical structural parameters, historical circulation parameters and historical temperature data of the risk area of ​​the entire furnace water-cooled wall, as well as the temperature data of the risk area at the next moment corresponding to the historical temperature data.

[0092] The collected historical structural parameters, historical cycle parameters, historical temperature data of risk areas and temperature data of risk areas at the next moment are preprocessed and divided into training sets and test sets.

[0093] A convolutional neural network (CNN) basic model was constructed, consisting of an input layer, convolutional layers, pooling layers, fully connected layers, and an output layer. The input layer receives preprocessed input data, including historical structural parameters, historical circulation parameters, and historical temperature data for risk areas. The convolutional layer, consisting of multiple convolution kernels, extracts features from the input data and generates feature maps. The pooling layer reduces the spatial dimensionality of the feature maps. The fully connected layers integrate the extracted features. The output layer outputs predictions based on the integrated results.

[0094] The convolutional neural network basic model is trained using the training set, and the model parameters that meet the prediction accuracy are retained to obtain the prediction model.

[0095] The process of optimizing the hyperparameters of a predictive model using the Bayesian optimization algorithm involves:

[0096] Define the hyperparameter space, take the learning rate, number of convolutional layers, convolution kernel size, and regularization parameter as the hyperparameters that need to be optimized, and set the value range for each hyperparameter.

[0097] A Gaussian process is used to randomly select several initial sample points in the hyperparameter space, each of which represents a set of hyperparameter combinations.

[0098] Each initial sample point is used as a hyperparameter of the prediction model, and the corresponding objective function value is calculated. The objective function value is the loss function.

[0099] Based on the initial sample points and their corresponding objective function values, a proxy model is constructed.

[0100] According to the surrogate model, find the next sample point in the hyperparameter space.

[0101] The prediction model is trained on the hyperparameter combination represented by the new sample point, the objective function is evaluated, and the feedback is fed back to the surrogate model.

[0102] The process of finding the next sample point, training, and evaluation is repeated until the preset number of repetitions is reached, and the hyperparameter combination represented by the sample point with the smallest objective function is used as the hyperparameter combination of the prediction model.

[0103] A temperature prediction model based on a convolutional neural network leverages historical and real-time data to learn complex patterns in temperature fluctuations. By incorporating a Bayesian optimization algorithm to optimize the model's hyperparameters, the model maintains high prediction accuracy across a wide range of operating conditions. This prediction capability facilitates early warning and adjustments before temperature thresholds are reached. This enables early prediction of temperature changes, significantly improving response speed compared to traditional methods. When predictions indicate that a set adjustment threshold is about to be reached, the system proactively takes action to mitigate potential risks.

[0104] Adjustment and warning thresholds for risk areas are set based on the performance parameters of the entire furnace water-cooled wall. When the predicted temperature reaches the adjustment threshold, an adaptive adjustment mechanism is introduced to dynamically adjust the cycle parameters. When the predicted temperature reaches the warning threshold, an alarm is triggered.

[0105] The process of setting adjustment and warning thresholds for risk areas involves collecting performance parameters for the entire furnace water-cooled wall, including the maximum safe temperature, minimum safe temperature, and expected normal operating temperature range. The expected normal operating temperature range serves as the adjustment threshold, while the maximum safe temperature and minimum safe temperature serve as the warning thresholds.

[0106] The process of dynamically adjusting circulation parameters includes increasing the cooling water flow rate in the water wall to improve heat exchange capacity and reduce the local temperature of the water wall. It also adjusts the cooling water circulation pressure to increase the cooling water flow through the water wall and optimize the cooling effect.

[0107] When the predicted temperature reaches the set adjustment threshold, an adaptive adjustment mechanism is introduced to dynamically adjust circulation parameters. This enables the system to flexibly adjust key parameters such as flow rate and pressure based on real-time data, taking timely action in the event of temperature anomalies, significantly enhancing system safety and stability. Furthermore, the set early warning threshold ensures that an alarm is triggered when the temperature is too high, quickly notifying system operators to take emergency measures. Through proactive temperature control and risk management mechanisms, this solution effectively prevents equipment damage or safety accidents, thereby improving the operational reliability and lifespan of the entire furnace water-cooled wall.

[0108] Example 1: Target water wall A, geometry data: Water wall height: 15m, Water wall diameter: 0.5m. Thermophysical parameters: Thermal conductivity: 50W / (m·K), Specific heat capacity: 4200J / (kg·K). Circulation parameters: Water circulation velocity: 2.5m / s, Flow rate: 30m³ / h, Cooling water temperature: 85°C.

[0109] The Kalman filter algorithm was used to remove random noise and obtain smooth flow velocity data.

[0110] The Z-score method was used to identify and remove outliers. It was found that there was an outlier (3.5 m / s) in the velocity data, which was removed.

[0111] After moving average processing, the flow velocity data becomes: 2.4m / s, 2.5m / s, 2.6m / s.

[0112] After data normalization, the flow rate data range is adjusted to [0, 1], and after conversion it is: 0.0, 0.5, 1.0.

[0113] Missing values ​​were handled using interpolation to obtain a complete dataset.

[0114] The velocity field and pressure field of the cooling water flowing inside the water wall are obtained using the fluid dynamics equation. At a certain moment, the velocity field is:

[0115] v(x)=2.5−0.1x(m / s), where x is the height of the water-cooled wall.

[0116] A heat conduction model is established based on the velocity field and pressure field combined with Fourier's law.

[0117] Set the boundary conditions as follows: inlet temperature: 85°C, flow rate: 30 m³ / h, outlet temperature: 75°C, flow rate: 30 m³ / h.

[0118] The finite difference method is used to solve the heat exchange model, and the temperature distribution of the water-cooled wall is obtained as follows:

[0119] T(x)=85−10(x / 15), where T is temperature (°C) and x is height (m).

[0120] The dynamic simulation model of the entire furnace water-cooled wall is divided into five areas (each 3m is an area).

[0121] The temperature data of each area is collected in real time, and the generated temperature time series curve shows: Area 1: 82°C, Area 2: 80°C, Area 3: 78°C, Area 4: 76°C, Area 5: 75°C.

[0122] Based on the fluid dynamics combined with the spatial distribution map, the flow state data was obtained and it was found that the flow state in area 3 was weak.

[0123] The risk coefficient calculation model shows: risk coefficient for area 1: 0.2, risk coefficient for area 2: 0.3, risk coefficient for area 3: 0.6 (exceeding the threshold and marked as a risk area), risk coefficient for area 4: 0.4, and risk coefficient for area 5: 0.2.

[0124] Historical structural parameters (data from the past week): Geometric data: Waterwall height: 20m, Waterwall diameter: 0.6m. Thermophysical properties: Thermal conductivity: 55W / (m·K), specific heat capacity: 3900J / (kg·K). Historical circulation parameters (flow rate and flow velocity): Flow rate data (m / s): [2.8, 3.0, 3.1, 2.9, 2.7, 3.2, 3.0], Flow rate data (m³ / h): [35, 40, 38, 37, 40, 41, 39], Historical temperature data for the risk area (°C): [87, 86, 85, 88, 87, 89, 90], Forecasted temperature data for the risk area at the next moment (°C): [87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 90, 89].

[0125] The historical data was preprocessed to remove noise, check for outliers, and normalize. The results are as follows:

[0126] Normalized historical flow rate: [0.0, 0.08, 0.1, 0.04, -0.08, 0.16, 0.08] (illustrative data).

[0127] Normalized historical temperature data: [0.0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.05, 0.07, 0.08].

[0128] Split the data into training and testing sets:

[0129] Training set: the first 5 records of historical flow rate and temperature data.

[0130] Test set: the last 2 records of historical flow rate and temperature data.

[0131] Constructing the basic model of convolutional neural network:

[0132] Network Structure: Input Layer: Receives preprocessed data, including historical structural parameters, circulation parameters, and historical temperature data for risk areas. Convolution Layer: Uses three convolution kernels to extract features for detecting the relationship between flow velocity and temperature. Pooling Layer: Uses max pooling to reduce feature dimensionality. Fully Connected Layer: Integrates the extracted features and outputs the predicted temperature for the risk area at the next moment. Output Layer: Generates a predicted temperature for the risk area at the next moment.

[0133] The convolutional neural network model is trained using the training set, retaining the model parameters that achieve a prediction accuracy of 95% or higher. Example output from the trained model: Predicted values ​​(°C): [89, 90], corresponding to the risk zone temperatures in the test set.

[0134] Define the hyperparameter space: The hyperparameters that need to be optimized include: learning rate: range (0.001, 0.1), number of convolutional layers: 2 to 5 layers, convolution kernel size: 3 to 7, regularization parameter: range (0.01, 0.1).

[0135] Randomly select several hyperparameter combinations for preliminary evaluation:

[0136] Sample point 1: learning rate 0.01, number of convolutional layers 3, convolution kernel size 5, regularization parameter 0.05.

[0137] Sample point 2: learning rate 0.005, number of convolutional layers 4, convolution kernel size 7, regularization parameter 0.01.

[0138] Train the model corresponding to each sample point and calculate the loss function, which is recorded as follows:

[0139] The loss value of sample point 1 is 0.025.

[0140] The loss value of sample point 2 is 0.020.

[0141] A Gaussian process model is constructed based on the initial sample points and their objective function values ​​to search the hyperparameter space.

[0142] Find a new combination point and train it, repeat the process until the set number of training rounds is reached, and finally determine the hyperparameter combination.

[0143] Collect the performance parameters of the water-cooled wall of the entire furnace: maximum safe temperature: 97°C, minimum safe temperature: 75°C, normal operating temperature range: 80°C to 90°C.

[0144] The adjustment threshold (normal range) is set at 80°C to 90°C.

[0145] The warning thresholds are set at 75°C (minimum safety) and 97°C (maximum safety).

[0146] When the predicted temperature reaches the adjustment threshold (90°C), the water wall circulation parameters are dynamically adjusted:

[0147] Increase cooling water flow rate from 2.5m / s to 3.0m / s to improve heat exchange capacity. Increase circulation pressure to increase flow and optimize cooling effect.

[0148] Set up an alarm mechanism. When the predicted temperature data value approaches the warning threshold (97°C), the alarm is triggered: the alarm message is output: "Alarm! The temperature of water wall area 3 is approaching the safety limit. Please check and adjust the cooling system immediately."

[0149] In summary, this embodiment provides a temperature control method based on dynamic simulation of the entire furnace water wall. By collecting structural and circulation parameters of the entire furnace water wall in real time, it can provide comprehensive and accurate system status information, laying the foundation for subsequent data analysis and modeling. Combining fluid dynamics and heat conduction theory, a heat exchange model is established to simulate the temperature distribution of the entire furnace water wall. This method can more accurately identify areas of potential temperature anomalies, enhance understanding of cooling system behavior, and help operators intervene before potential risks arise, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents. By monitoring temperature data in risk areas in real time, combining it with a constructed convolutional neural network prediction model and incorporating a Bayesian optimization algorithm for hyperparameter optimization, the accuracy and stability of temperature predictions are ensured. This deep learning-based prediction method can capture complex patterns in temperature changes, providing a more sensitive and effective response in a real-time changing environment. When the temperature data output by the prediction model approaches or exceeds a set adjustment threshold, an adaptive adjustment mechanism is automatically introduced to dynamically adjust the circulation parameters to ensure that the water wall temperature remains within a safe range. This not only increases the flexibility and intelligence of the cooling system but also significantly enhances the overall safety of the equipment, effectively preventing equipment damage or safety accidents caused by temperature anomalies. When the predicted temperature in a risk area reaches the warning threshold, an alarm is immediately triggered, quickly notifying operators to take appropriate emergency measures. This extends temperature control beyond the analysis of historical and current data to provide a scientific basis for real-time processing and response, forming a closed loop of data monitoring, analysis, and response. This surpasses the limitations of traditional methods and demonstrates the potential of modern automated control technology in industrial applications.
