DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0020] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, an operation optimization method for a thermal power unit is provided. This method is executed by a computer device, specifically, it can be executed independently by a computer device such as a terminal or a server, or jointly executed by a terminal and a server. In the embodiments of the present application, it includes the following steps 101 to 105. Among them: Step 101, obtain the target digital twin model of the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system of the thermal power unit and the boundary parameters of the target digital twin model.

[0022] As an optional implementation manner, before step 101, the following steps may also be executed: Construct a digital twin model based on the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system of the thermal power unit; wherein, the digital twin model at least includes a boiler sub-model, a waste heat sub-model, and a steam turbine sub-model; At every preset time interval, collect real-time data from the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system and inject the real-time data into the digital twin model, so that the digital twin model performs real-time dynamic simulation based on the real-time data; Moreover, the manner of step 101 to obtain the target digital twin model of the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system of the thermal power unit and the boundary parameters of the target digital twin model may specifically be: Determine the digital twin model of the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system of the thermal power unit injected with the latest real-time data as the target digital twin model; Obtain the boundary parameters corresponding to the target digital twin model.

[0023] Among them, when implementing this implementation method, a digital twin model including boiler, waste heat, and steam turbine sub-models is constructed based on the flue gas waste heat cascade utilization system of a thermal power unit, providing an accurate virtual mapping for the operation of power plant equipment. By collecting and injecting real-time data at preset time intervals for real-time dynamic simulation, the digital twin model can closely follow the changes in the actual equipment conditions, greatly improving the real-time performance and accuracy of the model. Determining the model injected with the latest real-time data as the target digital twin model and obtaining the corresponding boundary parameters can ensure that subsequent optimization operations are based on the most real equipment state. This not only helps to detect potential equipment problems in a timely manner but also enables the formulation of more effective optimization strategies based on accurate data, thereby significantly improving the energy utilization efficiency of thermal power units, reducing energy consumption and operating costs, while reducing pollutant emissions and enhancing equipment operation stability, strongly promoting the green, efficient, and sustainable development of thermal power units.

[0024] In the embodiments of this application, the digital twin model of the flue gas waste heat cascade utilization system of a thermal power unit can be constructed based on the Sysplorer software and using the Modelica modeling language.

[0025] In addition, the boiler subsystem can also include: equipment models such as a furnace, water wall, superheater, reheater, etc.; The waste heat subsystem can also include: equipment models such as an air preheater, low-temperature economizer, air heater, expansion tank, etc.; The steam turbine subsystem can also include: equipment models such as a steam turbine, condenser, high and low pressure heaters, steam cooler, etc.

[0026] Moreover, the boiler sub-model, waste heat sub-model, and steam turbine sub-model can also include equipment-level models such as a furnace, water wall, steam turbine, economizer, air preheater, superheater reheater, etc.

[0027] In the embodiments of this application, the latest real-time data can be the real-time operation data of the flue gas waste heat cascade utilization system of a thermal power unit; a communication component can be written using Python, and through this communication component, the COM (Component Object Model) interface provided by the power plant industrial data management platform (Plant Information System, PI) can be called to realize the reading and writing of real-time operation data in the PI database.

[0028] Among them, the real-time operation data can include the coal quantity, air volume entering the furnace, feed water flow on the steam turbine side, valve opening, pump frequency, etc.

[0029] In the embodiments of the present application, the target digital twin model can perform simulation operations based on the latest injected real-time data, and obtain the simulation operation results. Furthermore, the simulation operation results can be output to a display so that the staff can intuitively view the simulation operation results of the target digital twin model for the actual flue gas waste heat cascade utilization system. The simulation operation results can be information of text type, image type, or statistical chart type. In this regard, the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations. The simulation operation results may include current coal consumption information, energy utilization rate information, etc. In this regard, the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present application, the boundary parameters corresponding to the target digital twin model can be the constraint conditions for the operating parameters in the target digital twin model.

[0031] For example, please refer to Table 1: Table 1 Boundary Parameters Corresponding to the Target Digital Twin Model

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the functional modules of the target digital twin model of a flue gas waste heat cascade utilization system for a thermal power unit provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0033] Step 102, obtain multiple adjustment parameters in the target digital twin model.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present application, the adjustment parameters include: the opening degree of the first air preheater bypass flue gas baffle, the opening degree of the second air preheater bypass flue gas baffle, the frequency of the circulating water pump, the opening degree of the total valve for feeding water to the high-pressure economizer, the opening degree of the first sub-valve for feeding water to the high-pressure economizer, the opening degree of the second sub-valve for feeding water to the high-pressure economizer, the opening degree of the condensate to the low-pressure economizer booster pump, the opening degree of the condensate bypass valve to the low-pressure economizer, the opening degree of the valve for condensate to the first low-pressure economizer, and the opening degree of the valve for condensate to the second low-pressure economizer.

[0035] Step 103, determine the model key parameters from the multiple adjustment parameters.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, the model key parameters can be determined according to the influence degree of each adjustment parameter on the coal consumption of the target digital twin model. The model key parameters are the adjustment parameters with a greater influence degree on the coal consumption of the target digital twin model.

[0037] As an optional implementation manner, the specific manner for step 103 to determine the model key parameters from the multiple adjustment parameters can be: Obtain multiple groups of training adjustment parameter groups; where each group of training adjustment parameter groups contains all adjustment parameters, and the value of each adjustment parameter is a randomly obtained value within the corresponding value range of the current adjustment parameter; Obtain the actual coal consumption of each group of training adjustment parameter groups during actual operation; Perform simulation operations on each group of training adjustment parameter groups through the target digital twin model to obtain the simulated coal consumption of each group of training adjustment parameter groups; Use the actual coal consumption and the simulated coal consumption to determine the key model parameters from the multiple adjustment parameters; where the key model parameters are the opening degree of the bypass flue gas damper of the first air preheater, the opening degree of the bypass flue gas damper of the second air preheater, the frequency of the circulating water pump, and the opening degree of the first sub-valve for feeding water to the high-pressure economizer.

[0038] Among them, implementing this implementation method provides rich data support for comprehensively and objectively analyzing the impact of adjustment parameters on coal consumption by obtaining multiple groups of training adjustment parameter groups randomly generated within the adjustment parameter value range, and respectively obtaining their actual operation coal consumption and simulated coal consumption obtained through simulation operations using the target digital twin model. Determining key model parameters such as the opening degree of the bypass flue gas damper of the first air preheater, the opening degree of the bypass flue gas damper of the second air preheater, the frequency of the circulating water pump, and the opening degree of the first sub-valve for feeding water to the high-pressure economizer based on the actual coal consumption and the simulated coal consumption can accurately locate the parameters that have a greater impact on coal consumption. This enables the thermal power unit to target these key model parameters for adjustment during subsequent operation optimization, avoiding blind attempts, greatly improving the optimization efficiency, contributing to quickly achieving the goal of reducing coal consumption and improving energy utilization efficiency, while reducing unnecessary resource waste and enhancing the economy and stability of the thermal power unit operation.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, multiple groups of training adjustment parameter groups can be generated through the Monte Carlo algorithm.

[0040] Furthermore, the impact of parameter changes on the model output can also be analyzed through the Monte Carlo algorithm.

[0041] In Monte Carlo, attention is usually paid to approximating the statistical characteristics (such as expected value, variance, etc.) of a certain target variable through the results obtained from the simulation. The basic evaluation formula is as follows: Monte Carlo simulation is a numerical calculation method based on random sampling, used to estimate the performance, results, or certain characteristics of a complex system or model by simulating a large number of random samples.

[0042] Suppose we have a function Calculate the simulated coal consumption, and its input variable is the training adjustment parameter , and this input variable follows a certain probability distribution Extraction. The goal of the Monte Carlo method is to estimate the expected value of a function, that is:

[0043] where, is the expected value, is the input variable 's probability density function.

[0044] Monte Carlo estimation formula: If it is difficult or impossible to solve this integral directly, the expected value can be approximated by random sampling:

[0045] where: is the number of random samples, is the sample point randomly drawn from the distribution '.

[0046] Variance estimation: Assume that a Monte Carlo simulation is performed on the function to obtain a set of estimated values , the variance formula for Monte Carlo estimation is:

[0047] Specifically, the derivation process of the variance formula for Monte Carlo estimation is as follows: Given independent and identically distributed samples , the Monte Carlo estimator is the sample mean:

[0048] The Monte Carlo estimator is the sample mean, and its variance formula is:

[0049] The single-sample variance can be decomposed into the difference between the second moment and the square of the first moment:

[0050] Replace the theoretical expectation with the sample mean: Second moment estimation:

[0051] First moment square estimation:

[0052] Substitute the two into the variance decomposition formula:

[0053] Therefore,

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, if the variance of the sample is relatively large, the estimation accuracy is relatively low, and more samples are required to improve the estimation accuracy.

[0055] Error estimation: A key issue in the Monte Carlo method is to determine the error of the estimation. Assume is the estimated value of the expected value, then the error can be calculated by the following formula:

[0056] Since the error of the Monte Carlo estimation is usually inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size , the standard deviation of the error is:

[0057] To achieve a lower error at a given accuracy, the number of simulations needs to be increased .

[0058] Convergence in Monte Carlo simulation: As the sample size increases, the result of the Monte Carlo estimation will get closer and closer to the true expected value. This means that the error has the following convergence characteristics:

[0059] Confidence interval of Monte Carlo simulation: Monte Carlo can also be used to construct the confidence interval of the expected value. Assume that through simulation, samples of are obtained, and the confidence interval of the expected value can be estimated based on the mean and standard deviation of the samples. For example, the 95% confidence interval can be given by the following formula:

[0060] where 1.96 is the critical value of the normal distribution at the 95% confidence level.

[0061] As an alternative implementation, the method for determining the key parameters of the model from the multiple adjustment parameters using the actual coal consumption and the simulated coal consumption may specifically be: Compare the actual coal consumption and the simulated coal consumption of each training adjustment parameter group to obtain the coal consumption residual value of each training adjustment parameter group; Construct a residual table based on the actual coal consumption, the simulated coal consumption, and the coal consumption residual value of each training adjustment parameter group; Analyze the residual table to determine the parameter sensitivity of each adjustment parameter; Determine the adjustment parameters with the parameter sensitivity greater than the preset threshold as the key parameters of the model.

[0062] Among them, when implementing this implementation method, the residual value is obtained by comparing the actual coal consumption with the simulated coal consumption, a clear residual table is constructed, the sensitivity of each adjustment parameter is accurately analyzed, the parameters with sensitivity greater than the preset threshold are determined as key parameters, which helps the operator to accurately control, avoid blind operation, improve the optimization efficiency, optimize the digital twin model, and enhance the reliability and practicability of the model.

[0063] For example, the residual table can be as shown in Table 2 below: Table 2 Residual Table

[0064] In addition, a scatter plot can also be constructed based on the actual coal consumption, simulated coal consumption, and coal consumption residual values of each training adjustment parameter group. The horizontal axis of this scatter plot can be the measured value, and the vertical axis can be the simulated value. Ideally, the data points should be distributed near the 45° line.

[0065] A residual distribution plot can also be constructed based on the actual coal consumption, simulated coal consumption, and coal consumption residual values of each training adjustment parameter group. The horizontal axis of this residual distribution plot can be the training adjustment parameter value (such as the baffle opening), and the vertical axis can be the residual, which is used to analyze the influence of the training adjustment parameter on the error.

[0066] Optionally, the parameter sensitivity can also include multiple sensitivity indicators, and a tornado diagram of the adjustment parameter can be generated according to the multiple sensitivity indicators. Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is the tornado diagram of the adjustment parameter provided by an embodiment of the present application; among them, one adjustment parameter includes seven sensitivity indicators: correlation - linear, correlation - ranking, correlation - Kendall, standardized regression - linear, standardized regression - ranking, partial correlation - linear, and partial correlation - ranking.

[0067] Specifically, correlation - linear is used to show the linear correlation relationship between the adjustment parameter and the output.

[0068] Correlation - ranking is used to show the degree of association between the adjustment parameter and the output and sort them according to the degree of influence.

[0069] Correlation - Kendall refers to using Kendall's rank correlation coefficient to measure the correlation between adjustment parameters and showing the analysis results in the tornado diagram. Kendall's rank correlation coefficient is a statistical indicator used to measure the rank correlation between two adjustment parameters.

[0070] Standardized regression - linear involves the application of standardized regression coefficients in a linear regression model; the use of standardized regression coefficients in a tornado diagram is mainly to compare the relative impact degrees of different independent variables on the dependent variable. Since different independent variables may have different units and magnitudes, directly comparing the original regression coefficients may be misleading. Through standardization, each independent variable is placed under the same dimension, and the magnitude of the absolute value of its standardized regression coefficient directly reflects the impact degree of this independent variable on the dependent variable. The larger the absolute value, the greater the impact of this independent variable on the dependent variable.

[0071] Standardized regression - ranking is used to analyze and display the impact degrees of multiple independent variables on the dependent variable, and these independent variables obtained through standardized regression are sorted in descending order according to the magnitude of their impact degrees on the dependent variable.

[0072] Partial correlation - linear refers to when analyzing the impact of multiple adjustment parameters on a certain result, considering the partial correlation relationship between the adjustment parameters and conducting the analysis based on a linear hypothesis. Under this hypothesis, the linear correlation strength between the adjustment parameters is measured by calculating the partial correlation coefficient. The value range of the partial correlation coefficient is the same as that of the ordinary correlation coefficient, between - 1 and 1. The closer the absolute value of the coefficient is to 1, the stronger the linear relationship between the two adjustment parameters; the closer it is to 0, the weaker the linear relationship.

[0073] Partial correlation - ranking is used to analyze the relationship between multiple independent variables and the dependent variable, and the partial correlation coefficients between each independent variable and the dependent variable are sorted in descending order according to the magnitude of their absolute values.

[0074] Therefore, it can be seen from Figure 3 that the opening degrees of the bypass flue gas dampers of the first air preheater, the opening degrees of the bypass flue gas dampers of the second air preheater, the frequency of the circulating water pump, and the opening degree of the first sub - valve of the feed water to the high - pressure economizer have a greater impact on coal consumption. Furthermore, the opening degrees of the bypass flue gas dampers of the first air preheater, the opening degrees of the bypass flue gas dampers of the second air preheater, the frequency of the circulating water pump, and the opening degree of the first sub - valve of the feed water to the high - pressure economizer can be determined as the key parameters of the model.

[0075] Specifically, corresponding index values can be determined for all seven sensitivity indicators, and the adjustment parameters for which each sensitivity indicator is greater than the preset threshold of that sensitivity indicator can be determined as the key parameters of the model.

[0076] Step 104, optimize the key parameters of the model based on the boundary parameters to obtain the optimal key parameters corresponding to the key parameters of the model.

[0077] In the embodiments of this application, the augmented Lagrangian algorithm (Augmented Lagrangian Algorithm, AUGLAG) can be used to optimize the key parameters of the model.

[0078] As an alternative implementation, the manner in which step 104 optimizes the model key parameters based on the boundary parameters to obtain the optimal key parameters corresponding to the model key parameters may specifically be as follows: Determine the key boundary parameters corresponding to the model key parameters from the boundary parameters; Determine the initial key parameters corresponding to the model key parameters based on the key boundary parameters; wherein, the initial key parameters are less than or equal to the key boundary parameters; Perform calculations based on the initial key parameters, the preset initial Lagrange multiplier, and the initial penalty factor to obtain the current minimum value of the augmented Lagrangian function; Update the initial key parameters based on the current minimum value to obtain the target key parameters; Update the initial Lagrange multiplier based on the initial Lagrange multiplier, the initial penalty factor, and the key boundary parameters to obtain the target Lagrange multiplier; Update the initial penalty factor based on the preset parameters and the initial penalty factor to obtain the target penalty factor; Repeat the optimization operation based on the target key parameters, the target Lagrange multiplier, and the target penalty factor until the difference between the current minimum value and the previous minimum value corresponding to the current minimum value is less than or equal to the preset difference, or the target key parameters are the same as the key boundary parameters.

[0079] Among them, implementing this implementation manner to determine the key boundary parameters from the boundary parameters and obtaining the initial key parameters accordingly provides a reasonable starting point for the optimization process, ensuring that the optimization operation is carried out within the range of equipment safety and operation limits. By calculating the current minimum value of the augmented Lagrangian function based on the initial key parameters, the initial Lagrange multiplier, and the initial penalty factor, and continuously updating the key parameters, the Lagrange multiplier, and the penalty factor, the preset optimization goal can be gradually approximated. In the process of multiple iterative optimizations, until the condition that the difference between the current minimum value and the previous minimum value is less than or equal to the preset difference or the target key parameters are the same as the key boundary parameters is met, this makes the optimization result more accurate and more in line with the actual requirements.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present application, a constrained optimization problem can be constructed based on the key boundary parameters, and the form is:

[0081]

[0082] Wherein, x is the initial key parameter, is the objective function of the simulated coal consumption, is the inequality constraint. Constructed through the key boundary parameters, that is = x - critical boundary parameter. It can be seen that should be less than or equal to 0. m represents the number of model critical parameters included in the initial critical parameters.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present application, the augmented Lagrangian function has the form:

[0084] Where: is the initial penalty factor or the target penalty factor (usually a positive number). is the initial Lagrange multiplier or the target Lagrange multiplier.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, the optimization operation specifically includes: Calculating based on the target critical parameter, the target Lagrange multiplier, and the target penalty factor to obtain the current minimum value of the augmented Lagrangian function; If the difference between the current minimum value and the previous minimum value corresponding to the current minimum value is greater than a preset difference, then update the target critical parameter based on the current minimum value to obtain an updated target critical parameter; wherein, the target critical parameter used in subsequent calculations is the updated target critical parameter; Updating the target Lagrange multiplier based on the target Lagrange multiplier, the target penalty factor, and the critical boundary parameter to obtain an updated target Lagrange multiplier; wherein, the target Lagrange multiplier used in subsequent calculations is the updated target Lagrange multiplier; Updating the target penalty factor based on the preset parameter and the target penalty factor to obtain an updated target penalty factor; wherein, the target penalty factor used in subsequent calculations is the updated target penalty factor.

[0086] Among them, implementing this implementation method, calculations are carried out based on the target critical parameter, the target Lagrange multiplier, and the target penalty factor to continuously explore the current minimum value of the augmented Lagrangian function. In each iteration, by comparing the difference between the current minimum value and the previous minimum value, it is judged whether to continue optimization. If the difference is greater than the preset difference, then update the target critical parameter, the target Lagrange multiplier, and the target penalty factor to ensure that each iteration moves in a more optimal direction. This process of gradual iterative optimization can accurately adjust the model critical parameters to make them more in line with the actual operation requirements.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present application, in each iteration, after solving the minimum value of the augmented Lagrangian function, the form of updating the target critical parameter is:

[0088] The form of updating the Lagrange multiplier is:

[0089] The updated penalty factor form is as follows:

[0090] In the embodiments of the present application, the comparison of parameters before and after optimization and the optimization strategy recommendation can also be displayed on the Web side.

[0091] In addition, the linear approximation method for constrained optimization (Constrained Optimization BY Linear Approximations, COBYLA), the particle swarm optimization algorithm (Particle Swarm Optimization, PSO), and the genetic algorithm (Genetic Algorithm, GA) can also be used to optimize coal consumption.

[0092] The COBYLA algorithm processes constraints through linear approximation and gradually approaches the optimal solution through iterative optimization. In each iteration, the algorithm constructs a linear model based on the current solution to find a better solution and finally approaches the global optimal solution. It is an effective constrained optimization algorithm suitable for various complex problems. By reasonably setting constraints, initial values, and parameters, practical problems can be efficiently solved.

[0093] The PSO algorithm is an optimization technique that simulates the foraging behavior of bird flocks. In PSO, each solution is regarded as a "particle" with a position and a velocity. The particles update their velocities and positions by sharing information to find the optimal solution. PSO is applicable to various complex optimization problems. By reasonably setting parameters, designing fitness functions, and handling constraints, practical problems can be effectively solved.

[0094] The GA algorithm is a global optimization algorithm based on natural selection and genetic mechanisms. The potential solutions to the problem are represented as individuals in the population. The individuals are encoded by genes. The initial population is usually randomly generated, and then the population is iteratively updated to approach the optimal solution. The fitness value of each individual is used to measure its ability to solve the problem, usually calculated by the objective function. Parent individuals are selected according to the fitness values, and crossover and mutation operations are performed to generate new offspring. By continuously iterating these operations, the GA algorithm can effectively solve complex optimization problems.

[0095] The AUGLAG algorithm is an effective method for solving constrained optimization problems. It combines the advantages of the Lagrange multiplier method and the penalty function method. By introducing Lagrange multipliers and penalty parameters, the constrained optimization problem is transformed into a series of unconstrained optimization problems for solution. Its basic idea is to construct an augmented Lagrangian function, which combines the objective function, the linear combination of constraint conditions, and the penalty term, and then iteratively solve the optimal solution of this function to gradually approach the optimal solution of the original problem. Through reasonable parameter settings and convergence conditions, the AUGLAG algorithm is widely applied to the solution of various complex optimization problems.

[0096] Please also refer to Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 4 which is a schematic diagram of the optimization result of the AUGLAG algorithm provided by an embodiment of this application; Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram of the optimization result of the PSO algorithm provided by an embodiment of this application; Figure 6 which is a schematic diagram of the optimization result of the COBYLA algorithm provided by an embodiment of this application; Figure 7 which is a schematic diagram of the optimization result of the GA algorithm provided by an embodiment of this application.

[0097] Specifically, after optimization using the COBYLA algorithm, the coal consumption value is 275.28 g, which is optimized by about 0.5 g. The optimization process has carried out 15 steps and reached the convergence condition. The key adjusted parameters after optimization are: the flue gas side file opening of the air preheater is 75%, the total adjustment valve opening of the feed water to the high-pressure economizer is 94%, the frequency of the condensate water to the low-pressure economizer booster pump is 88%, and the frequency of the warm air heater and the low-temperature economizer circulating water pump is 48.63 Hz.

[0098] After final optimization using the PSO algorithm, the coal consumption value is 275.3 g, and the coal consumption is optimized by about 0.5 g. The number of optimization steps is 10 to reach the convergence condition. After optimization, the adjusted parameters are respectively: the flue gas side file opening of the air preheater is 91%, the total adjustment valve opening of the feed water to the high-pressure economizer is 82.5%, the frequency of the condensate water to the low-pressure economizer booster pump is 55.2%, and the frequency of the warm air heater and the low-temperature economizer circulating water pump is 48.5 Hz.

[0099] After final optimization using the GA algorithm, the coal consumption value is 275.3 g, and the coal consumption is optimized by about 0.5 g. The number of optimization steps is 6 to reach the convergence condition. After optimization, the adjusted parameters are respectively: the flue gas side file opening of the air preheater is 72.4%, the total adjustment valve opening of the feed water to the high-pressure economizer is 82.3%, the frequency of the condensate water to the low-pressure economizer booster pump is 68%, and the frequency of the warm air heater and the low-temperature economizer circulating water pump is 47 Hz.

[0100] After final optimization using the AUGLAG algorithm, the coal consumption value is 275.34 g, and the optimized coal consumption is about 0.46 g. The optimization steps reach 20 steps to meet the convergence condition. After optimizing the adjustment parameters, the flue gas side file opening of the air preheater is 49%, the total adjustment valve opening from feed water to the high-pressure economizer is 76%, the frequency of the condensate water to the booster pump of the low-pressure economizer is 77.5%, and the frequencies of the warm air heater and the low-temperature economizer circulating water pump are 47 Hz.

[0101] By applying four algorithms under certain constraints and taking the minimization of coal consumption as the optimization goal, the results show that the optimized coal consumption is about 0.5 g. The frequency of the condensate water to the booster pump of the low-pressure economizer is relatively high, while the frequency of the circulating water pump is relatively low. During the optimization process, although the number of iteration steps of the PSO algorithm and the GA algorithm is small, their time consumption is the longest; while the AUGLAG algorithm performs best in terms of time consumption, and the number of steps is also moderate. Based on this, the online optimization of the later twin model is more suitable to be implemented using the AUGLAG algorithm.

[0106] Then, clean the collected operating parameters to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the operating parameters.

[0107] Select one of the three algorithms of COBYLA, PSO, and GA for parameter estimation to ensure that the simulation value is highly consistent with the measured value.

[0115] As an optional implementation manner, the first acquisition unit 801 is further configured to: Construct a digital twin model based on the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system of the thermal power unit; wherein, the digital twin model at least includes a boiler sub-model, a waste heat sub-model, and a steam turbine sub-model; At every preset time interval, collect real-time data from the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system and inject the real-time data into the digital twin model, so that the digital twin model performs real-time dynamic simulation based on the real-time data; Moreover, the manner in which the first acquisition unit 801 acquires the target digital twin model of the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system of the thermal power unit and the boundary parameters of the target digital twin model is specifically as follows: Determine the digital twin model of the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system of the thermal power unit injected with the latest real-time data as the target digital twin model; Acquire the boundary parameters corresponding to the target digital twin model.

[0116] Wherein, implementing this implementation manner, constructing a digital twin model including boiler, waste heat, and steam turbine sub-models based on the flue gas waste heat cascaded utilization system of the thermal power unit provides an accurate virtual mapping for the operation of power plant equipment. By collecting and injecting real-time data at every preset time interval for real-time dynamic simulation, the digital twin model can closely follow the changes in the actual equipment conditions, greatly improving the real-time performance and accuracy of the model. Determining the model injected with the latest real-time data as the target digital twin model and acquiring the corresponding boundary parameters can ensure that subsequent optimization operations are based on the most real equipment state. This not only helps to timely discover potential problems of the equipment, but also can formulate more effective optimization strategies based on accurate data, thereby significantly improving the energy utilization efficiency of the thermal power unit, reducing energy consumption and operation costs, while reducing pollutant emissions and enhancing the operation stability of the equipment, and strongly promoting the thermal power unit to achieve green, efficient, and sustainable development.

[0117] As an optional implementation manner, the manner in which the determination unit 803 determines model key parameters from the multiple adjustment parameters may specifically be: Obtain multiple groups of training adjustment parameter groups; among them, each group of training adjustment parameter groups contains all adjustment parameters, and the value of each adjustment parameter is a randomly obtained value within the corresponding value range of the current adjustment parameter; Obtain the actual coal consumption of each group of training adjustment parameter groups during actual operation; Perform simulation operations on each group of training adjustment parameter groups through the target digital twin model to obtain the simulated coal consumption of each group of training adjustment parameter groups; Use the actual coal consumption and the simulated coal consumption to determine the model key parameters from the multiple adjustment parameters; among them, the model key parameters are the opening degree of the bypass flue gas damper of the first air preheater, the opening degree of the bypass flue gas damper of the second air preheater, the frequency of the circulating water pump, and the opening degree of the first sub-valve for feeding water to the high-pressure economizer.

[0118] Among them, implementing this implementation method provides rich data support for comprehensively and objectively analyzing the impact of adjustment parameters on coal consumption by obtaining multiple groups of training adjustment parameter groups randomly generated within the adjustment parameter value range, and respectively obtaining their actual operation coal consumption and simulated coal consumption obtained through simulation operations using the target digital twin model. Determining model key parameters such as the opening degree of the bypass flue gas damper of the first air preheater, the opening degree of the bypass flue gas damper of the second air preheater, the frequency of the circulating water pump, and the opening degree of the first sub-valve for feeding water to the high-pressure economizer based on the actual coal consumption and the simulated coal consumption can accurately locate the parameters with greater impact on coal consumption. This enables the thermal power unit to target these key parameters for adjustment in the subsequent operation optimization process, avoiding blind attempts, greatly improving the optimization efficiency, contributing to quickly achieving the goal of reducing coal consumption and improving energy utilization efficiency, while reducing unnecessary resource waste, and enhancing the economy and stability of the thermal power unit operation.

[0119] As an optional implementation method, the manner in which the determination unit 803 uses the actual coal consumption and the simulated coal consumption to determine the model key parameters from the multiple adjustment parameters can specifically be: Compare the actual coal consumption and the simulated coal consumption of each training adjustment parameter group to obtain the coal consumption residual value of each training adjustment parameter group; Based on the actual coal consumption, the simulated coal consumption, and the coal consumption residual value of each training adjustment parameter group, construct a residual table; Analyze the residual table to determine the parameter sensitivity of each adjustment parameter; Determine the adjustment parameters with parameter sensitivity greater than the preset threshold as the model key parameters.

[0120] Among them, when implementing this implementation method, the residual value is obtained by comparing the actual and simulated coal consumption, a clear residual table is constructed, the sensitivity of each adjustment parameter is accurately analyzed, the parameters with sensitivity greater than the preset threshold are determined as key parameters, which helps the operator to accurately control, avoid blind operation, improve the optimization efficiency, optimize the digital twin model, and enhance the reliability and practicability of the model.

[0121] As an alternative implementation method, the optimization unit 804 optimizes the key parameters of the model based on the boundary parameters. The specific method for obtaining the optimal key parameters corresponding to the key parameters of the model can be as follows: Determine the key boundary parameters corresponding to the key parameters of the model from the boundary parameters; Determine the initial key parameters corresponding to the key parameters of the model based on the key boundary parameters; among them, the initial key parameters are less than or equal to the key boundary parameters; Calculate based on the initial key parameters, the preset initial Lagrange multiplier and the initial penalty factor to obtain the current minimum value of the augmented Lagrangian function; Update the initial key parameters based on the current minimum value to obtain the target key parameters; Update the initial Lagrange multiplier based on the initial Lagrange multiplier, the initial penalty factor and the key boundary parameters to obtain the target Lagrange multiplier; Update the initial penalty factor based on the preset parameters and the initial penalty factor to obtain the target penalty factor; Repeat the optimization operation based on the target key parameters, the target Lagrange multiplier and the target penalty factor until the difference between the current minimum value and the previous minimum value corresponding to the current minimum value is less than or equal to the preset difference, or the target key parameters are the same as the key boundary parameters.

[0122] Among them, when implementing this implementation method, determining the key boundary parameters from the boundary parameters and obtaining the initial key parameters accordingly provides a reasonable starting point for the optimization process, ensuring that the optimization operation is carried out within the range of equipment safety and operation limits. By calculating the current minimum value of the augmented Lagrangian function based on the initial key parameters, the initial Lagrange multiplier and the initial penalty factor, and continuously updating the key parameters, the Lagrange multiplier and the penalty factor, the preset optimization goal can be gradually approached. In the process of multiple iterative optimizations, until the condition that the difference between the current minimum value and the previous minimum value is less than or equal to the preset difference or the target key parameters are the same as the key boundary parameters is met, this makes the optimization result more accurate and more in line with the actual requirements.

[0123] In the embodiments of the present application, the optimization operation can be specifically: Calculate based on the target key parameters, the target Lagrange multiplier and the target penalty factor to obtain the current minimum value of the augmented Lagrangian function; If the difference between the current minimum value and the previous minimum value corresponding to the current minimum value is greater than a preset difference, then update the target key parameter based on the current minimum value to obtain an updated target key parameter; wherein, the target key parameter used in subsequent calculations is the updated target key parameter; Update the target Lagrange multiplier based on the target Lagrange multiplier, the target penalty factor, and the key boundary parameter to obtain an updated target Lagrange multiplier; wherein, the target Lagrange multiplier used in subsequent calculations is the updated target Lagrange multiplier; Update the target penalty factor based on the preset parameter and the target penalty factor to obtain an updated target penalty factor; wherein, the target penalty factor used in subsequent calculations is the updated target penalty factor.

[0124] Among them, implementing this implementation method, calculations are carried out based on the target key parameter, the target Lagrange multiplier, and the target penalty factor, continuously exploring the current minimum value of the augmented Lagrange function. In each iteration, by comparing the difference between the current minimum value and the previous minimum value, it is judged whether to continue optimization. If the difference is greater than the preset difference, then update the target key parameter, the target Lagrange multiplier, and the target penalty factor to ensure that each iteration moves in a more optimal direction. This process of gradually iterative optimization can accurately adjust the key parameters of the model to make it more suitable for the actual operation requirements.
