Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment monitoring, and in particular to a data-driven air separation unit health evaluation method and system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid advancement of industrial automation and informatization, air separation units (ASUs), as core equipment in industrial production, play a vital role in multiple key sectors, including chemical engineering, metallurgy, and energy. However, due to their complex structures, variable operating conditions, and high-load operation, the health of ASUs not only directly impacts production efficiency but is also closely related to system safety and stability.

[0003] Traditional health assessment methods rely primarily on offline analysis of operating data. While this approach can reflect equipment status to a certain extent, it exhibits significant lags in the face of sudden failures, often making it difficult to implement effective maintenance measures in a timely manner. Furthermore, existing technical approaches, such as regular inspections, performance testing, and predictive maintenance based on historical data, while able to ensure normal equipment operation to a certain extent, still have significant limitations. First, these methods often detect problems only after a failure has occurred or performance has significantly degraded, lacking the ability to proactively identify potential early failures, leading to delayed maintenance. Second, given the complex and ever-changing operating conditions of air separation units, a single data analysis method is unable to comprehensively and accurately assess the overall health of the equipment, especially when operating under multiple alternating operating conditions, which can lead to misjudgments or missed detections. Finally, when a failure occurs, existing methods often lack efficient intelligent response capabilities, making it difficult to quickly locate the root cause of the problem, let alone provide dynamically optimized maintenance and adjustment plans.

[0004] Therefore, a data-driven health evaluation method and system for air separation units are proposed. Summary of the Invention

The design of the nonlinear correction function enables the correction process to flexibly respond to errors of different types and degrees, and the integration of weight coefficients ensures the stability and accuracy of the comprehensive index. This method improves the real-time and reliability of health evaluation by dynamically adjusting the health score, providing strong support for the efficient operation and preventive maintenance of the air separation unit; for the specific health evaluation acquisition process, please refer to Figure 3 .

[0133] When the second health evaluation indicator falls below the ASU health threshold, a hybrid mechanism simulation model is used to simulate and generate an adaptive operation and maintenance strategy to obtain a corrective ASU strategy. This adaptive operation and maintenance strategy includes simulating and optimizing the ASU operating parameters, triggering preventive maintenance operations, and triggering a shutdown protection mechanism. This system is applied to an adaptive operation and maintenance unit in a data-driven ASU health evaluation system. When the health indicator is above the ASU health threshold, the ASU health evaluation is output.

[0134] The present invention first realizes the real-time collection and preprocessing of historical data and real-time data during operation by arranging intelligent edge measurement units on key components; at the same time, it uses pre-trained random forest models and cluster analysis methods to identify and mark operation deviation data and abnormal data, thereby improving the accuracy and response speed of abnormality detection. Secondly, based on the health evaluation model constructed by deep learning and multivariate regression analysis, combined with the hybrid mechanism simulation model coupled with the physical mechanism model, the operation data is analyzed to generate a first health evaluation index. By analyzing the differences between the simulation results and the actual operation results, the health evaluation model and the physical model are dynamically corrected to improve the accuracy and reliability of the health assessment. In addition, based on the corrected hybrid mechanism simulation model, the first health evaluation index is nonlinearly corrected to generate a more accurate second health evaluation index. The automated operation and maintenance strategy effectively reduces the risk of failure and maintenance costs, and significantly improves the operating efficiency and reliability of the air separation unit, see Table 3.

Map the pressure coefficient in the health assessment model to the pressure transfer parameter in the physical mechanism model. Perform initial parameter calibration on the coupled model based on historical operating data. Using the least squares method, adjust key parameters to minimize the error between simulation results and actual operating data.

[0146] 4) Comparison and analysis of simulation results

[0147] During the simulation process, the outputs of the health assessment model and the physical mechanism model are compared in real time. For example, the temperature and pressure changes of the two models under the same operating conditions are monitored and the differences are calculated. Statistical indicators such as mean square error and coefficient of determination are used to evaluate the model fit and identify systematic deviations and outliers.
