It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the embodiments of the present invention, and is not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention.

[0074] As Figure 1 shown, the regulation method includes:

[0075] Step S101: Input specified weather data into a pre-constructed digital twin model of the heating system to obtain a heat transfer calculation model corresponding to the specified weather data.

[0076] A digital twin model of a heating system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is as Figure 3 shown, and another digital twin model of the heating system is as Figure 4 shown.

[0077] Furthermore, the weather data includes index values such as temperature, humidity, wind force, and weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy), etc. The specified weather data can be the daily weather data of the target application location of the heating system, the monthly average of various index data of the monthly weather data, or the quarterly average of various index data of the weather data in the winter heating season.

[0078] Among them, the digital twin model of the heating system is constructed according to the input characteristic parameters. The input characteristic parameters include heating equipment parameters, pipeline parameters, heating process, and weather data.

[0079] It should be noted that when establishing the digital twin model of the heating system, some of the heat supply network nodes are preselected, and the pressure values and temperature values of the preselected part of the heat supply network nodes measured by instruments are used to correct the model parameters.

[0080] Specifically, the heating equipment involved mainly includes one or more of the following equipment: shell-and-tube heat exchanger, pipeline, circulation pump, lithium bromide large temperature difference heat exchange unit.

[0081] Furthermore, the heating equipment parameters are specifically described in combination with the heating equipment. The heat exchanger structure parameters include: the number of heat exchange tubes, the size of heat exchange tubes, the length of heat exchange tubes, and the number of tube passes. The rated parameters of the circulation pump include: rated flow, rated head, and rated efficiency. The rated parameters of the circulation pump include: rated flow, rated head, and rated efficiency. The rated parameters of the lithium bromide unit include the inlet and outlet flow rates, pressures, and temperatures of the heat source, chilled water, and cooling water, and the operating characteristic parameters of the generator, absorber, condenser, and evaporator.

[0082] It should be noted that the heating equipment parameters also include operating parameters and physical properties parameters. Among them, the operating parameters include the flow rate, pressure, and temperature of the process materials. The physical properties parameters include: medium type, density, viscosity, specific heat at constant pressure, and thermal conductivity.

[0083] The pipeline parameters include: pipe diameter, wall thickness, length, insulation layer material, and insulation layer thickness.

[0084] The heating process includes the connection relationship between the heating equipment and the pipeline in the heat supply network. Further, the heat supply network includes multiple heat supply network nodes, and the heat supply network nodes include the input and output nodes of the heating equipment and the pipeline.

[0085] Specifically, the heating process also includes the connection relationships between the waste heat heat source, the heat supply first station, the primary water pipeline, the heat supply end station and the pipeline respectively.

[0086] It should be noted that the characteristic parameters for constructing the digital twin model of the heating system also include altitude and coordinate information. Among them, the altitude is used to represent the altitude of the heating equipment and the pipeline; the coordinate information is used to determine the actual distribution position of the heating equipment and the pipeline. Selecting the altitude as the input feature mainly considers the influence of height on water pressure. The higher the altitude, the smaller the atmospheric pressure. Selecting the coordinate information as the input feature can make the finally constructed digital twin model of the heating system more accurate, and further reduce the errors of various physical quantities determined according to the digital twin model of the heating system.

[0087] The digital twin model of the heating system includes a heat transfer calculation model under different weather data.

[0088] Specifically, the heat transfer calculation model is used to simulate and calculate the shell-side heat transfer coefficient, tube-side heat transfer coefficient, and total heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchange equipment. Among them, the heat exchange equipment is preferably a shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

[0089] The digital twin model of the heating system provided by the embodiments of the present invention can adjust the equipment and pipelines, simulate and calculate the operating data before and after the adjustment, so as to compare the operating data before and after the replacement, calculate the benefits, and evaluate the effects of the adjustment measures.

[0090] Specifically, digital twin refers to the use of various types of data such as physical models, sensor data, and operating data to integrate the simulation processes of multiple disciplines, multiple physical quantities, multiple scales, and multiple probabilities, and complete the mapping in the virtual space, so as to reflect the entire life cycle process of the corresponding physical equipment. Digital twin is widely used in fields such as product design, product manufacturing, medical analysis, and engineering construction.

[0091] Step S102: Using a heat transfer calculation model, simulate and calculate the shell-side heat transfer coefficient, tube-side heat transfer coefficient, and overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchange equipment.

[0092] Among them, the tube-side heat transfer coefficient h t is calculated according to the following formula:

[0093]

[0094] Among them, C is a coefficient. For gases, C = 0.021; for non-viscous liquids, C = 0.023; for viscous liquids, C = 0.027; k t is the tube-side fluid thermal conductivity, with the unit of W / (m·°C); Pr is the Prandtl number; Re is the Reynolds number; μ t is the tube-side working fluid viscosity, with the unit of Pa·s; μ tw is the fluid viscosity on the tube wall, with the unit of Pa·s; d i is the inner diameter of the heat exchange tube;

[0095] It should be noted that the Reynolds number Re is determined based on the flow velocity calculated by the hydraulic calculation model.

[0096] The shell-side heat transfer coefficient is calculated according to the following formula:

[0097] h s = h IS F hn F hw F hb F hl

[0098] In the formula: h s is the shell-side heat transfer coefficient, with the unit of W / (m2·°C); h IS is the theoretical shell-side heat transfer coefficient for ideal cross-flow; F hn is the correction factor. For turbulent flow, F hn is close to 1.0; F hw is the window correction coefficient. For heat exchangers with high design accuracy, the value of F hw is close to 1.0; F hb is the bypass flow correction factor. A conservative assumption is that both the clean and contaminated conditions are 0.8, but fouling tends to increase its value to close to 1.0; F hl is the leakage correction coefficient. A conservative assumption is that both the clean and contaminated conditions are 0.8, but fouling tends to increase its value to close to 1.0.

[0099] The overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchange equipment is calculated according to the following formula:

[0100]

[0101] Among them, U is the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchange equipment; h s is the heat transfer coefficient of the shell side; h sf is the fouling thermal resistance of the shell side, with the unit of W / (m2·℃); h w is the heat transfer coefficient of the tube wall, with the unit of W / (m2·℃); d0 is the outer diameter of the heat exchange tube, with the unit of mm; d i is the inner diameter of the heat exchange tube, with the unit of mm; h tf is the fouling thermal resistance of the tube side, with the unit of W / (m2·℃); h t is the heat transfer coefficient of the tube side.

[0102] According to this formula, it can be known that if the value of either the heat transfer coefficient of the tube side or the heat transfer coefficient of the shell side is small, the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchange equipment will be reduced; if the heat transfer coefficients at both ends are not much different, fouling will become the main factor affecting the heat transfer effect.

[0103] Furthermore, the heat transfer calculation model is also used to calculate the heat exchange efficiency, and the heat exchange efficiency is used to evaluate the optimizable space of the heating system.

[0104] Among them, the heat exchange efficiency is calculated according to the following formula:

[0105]

[0106] Among them, Q1 is the actual heat transfer load, Q2 is the theoretical heat transfer load, and e is the heat exchange efficiency; the actual heat transfer load Q1 is calculated according to the following formula:

[0107] Q1 = U·A0·ΔT

[0108] Among them, U is the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchange equipment, A0 is the heat transfer area based on the outside of the tube, and ΔT is the temperature difference between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe of the tube side fluid.

[0109] It should be noted that the heat exchange process can be analyzed, combined with the process of the waste heat heat source material, to obtain the theoretical lowest temperature after heat exchange, so as to determine the theoretical heat transfer load.

[0110] According to the calculation formula of the actual heat transfer load, the larger the total heat transfer system, the more the heat exchange quantity, and the larger the temperature difference; the lower the heat exchange efficiency, the larger the optimizable space. If the heat exchange equipment is severely aged and the deviation of the heat exchange efficiency from the corresponding original design value is large, the replacement benefit and the investment payback period can be calculated by replacing some of the aged equipment and simulating the effect after replacement. The reason can also be further analyzed. If the low heat exchange efficiency is due to the small heat exchange area, the heat exchange area can be increased accordingly. The operation situation after transformation is re-simulated according to the corresponding adjustment measures, and the transformation benefit is calculated.

[0111] Furthermore, the heat transfer calculation model is also used to calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient of the pipeline. The heat transfer process of the pipeline includes five links: from the fluid inside the pipe to the inner wall of the pipe, from the inner wall of the pipe to the outer wall of the pipe, from the outer wall of the pipe to the inner wall of the insulation layer, from the inner wall of the insulation layer to the outer wall of the insulation layer, and from the outer wall of the insulation layer to the ambient atmosphere. The overall heat transfer coefficient of the pipeline is based on the outer surface area of the insulation layer and is calculated according to the following formula:

[0112]

[0113] Among them, k represents the overall heat transfer coefficient of the pipeline; d0 is the outer diameter of the pipeline, d i is the inner diameter of the pipeline, α i is the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid inside the pipe, a0 is the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid outside the pipe, δ is the thickness of the pipeline, λ0 is the thermal conductivity of the pipe material, d m is the average diameter, and d m , d0, d i satisfy the following formula:

[0114]

[0115] For a low-viscosity fluid in forced turbulence inside a circular pipeline, the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid inside the pipeline or the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid outside the pipeline both satisfy the following formula:

[0116]

[0117] The coefficients and exponents in the formula are all obtained through experiments. a is the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid inside the pipeline or the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid outside the pipeline, λ is the thermal conductivity of the fluid, d i is the inner diameter of the pipeline, u is the flow velocity of the fluid inside the pipeline, ρ is the density of the fluid, μ is the viscosity of the fluid, c p is the specific heat at constant pressure.

[0118] It should be noted that the flow velocity of the fluid inside the pipeline is determined according to the hydraulic calculation model.

[0119] Step S103, regulate the heating system according to one or more of the shell-side heat transfer coefficient, the tube-side heat transfer coefficient, and the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchange equipment.

[0120] Specifically, regulating the heating system according to one or more of the shell-side heat transfer coefficient, the tube-side heat transfer coefficient, and the overall heat transfer coefficient includes:

[0121] Determine the position of the thermal resistance according to the tube-side heat transfer coefficient, the shell-side heat transfer coefficient, and the overall heat transfer coefficient; after determining the position of the thermal resistance, the heating system issues a warning and displays the thermal resistance node.

[0122] Specifically, thermal resistance refers to the degree of obstruction to heat transfer in an object and is usually used to describe the limitation of the heat transfer ability of materials, structures, or systems. For example, after determining the location of the thermal resistance, further analysis is carried out on the pipeline node corresponding to the thermal resistance. If the thermal resistance is caused by equipment aging, the corresponding equipment needs to be replaced.

[0123] Compare the shell-side heat transfer coefficient with a preset threshold. When the error between the two is large, the heating system issues a warning after determining the heat exchange equipment corresponding to the shell-side heat transfer coefficient and displays the heat exchange equipment.

[0124] Specifically, according to the characteristics of the shell-side heat transfer coefficient formula, when the values corresponding to the cleanliness and pollution status indicators in the pipeline are too high, the shell-side heat transfer coefficient correspondingly increases. Therefore, the determined pipeline node can be descaled or part of the pipeline can be replaced to make the shell-side heat transfer coefficient close to the original design value.

[0125] Furthermore, the heat transfer calculation model is also used for simulating and calculating the temperature of the heat supply network nodes, and the temperature of the heat supply network nodes is calculated by the following method:

[0126] Step 401: Determine one or more source nodes in the heat supply network. For each of these source nodes, measure the temperatures of the corresponding input and output nodes under specified weather data respectively;

[0127] Specifically, the source nodes in the heat supply network are multiple selected heat exchange stations, and the temperatures of the primary water and secondary water are measured actually using instruments.

[0128] Step 402: Input the temperatures of the input and output nodes of the heat supply network nodes (including heating equipment and pipelines) into the heat transfer calculation model;

[0129] Step 403: The heat transfer calculation model simulates and calculates the temperatures corresponding to the remaining nodes in the heat supply network under specified weather data.

[0130] When the supply temperature or return temperature of the primary water and / or secondary water exceeds the corresponding preset threshold, the heating system displays the corresponding temperature value and issues a warning.

[0131] When the supply temperature of the primary water exceeds the corresponding preset threshold, it is prompted to reduce the load of the peak heat exchanger at the heat supply first station to lower the supply temperature of the primary water. For example, reduce the steam flow of the steam heater. Among them, the primary water is the water in the pipeline between the heat source and the intermediate heat exchange station, and the secondary water is the water in the heating pipeline between the intermediate heat exchange station and the target heating households.

[0132] Further, the temperature of the heat supply network node can be compared with the corresponding original design value. When the error is greater than the preset error range, the heating system displays the corresponding heat supply network node and issues a warning.

[0133] The digital twin model of the heating system further includes a hydraulic calculation model under different weather data. The control method of the heating system based on the digital twin model further includes:

[0134] Step S201: Input the specified weather data into the pre-constructed digital twin model of the heating system to obtain the hydraulic calculation model corresponding to the specified weather data.

[0135] Further, the hydraulic calculation model is used to simulate and calculate the flow rate, flow velocity, and pressure of the heat supply network node.

[0136] Step S202: Use the hydraulic calculation model to simulate and calculate the flow rate, flow velocity, and pressure of the heat supply network node.

[0137] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the method for calculating the flow rate and pressure of the heat supply network node provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the flow rate and pressure of the heat supply network node are calculated by the following method:

[0138] Step S301: Determine one or more source nodes in the heat supply network. For each of these source nodes, measure the flow rate and pressure of the input and output nodes corresponding to the source node under the specified weather data respectively.

[0139] Specifically, the source nodes in the heat supply network are multiple selected heat exchange stations, and the flow rate and pressure of the primary water and secondary water are measured by instruments.
