[0002] Energy consumption accounts for one of the largest costs in cement production. With rising global energy costs and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the cement industry must confront the challenge of inefficient energy management. Therefore, implementing optimized energy management not only helps reduce production costs but also minimizes energy waste and improves energy efficiency, ensuring cement manufacturers remain competitive in the fiercely competitive market. Furthermore, optimized energy management helps reduce carbon emissions, complying with increasingly stringent environmental regulations and ultimately enhancing a company's sustainable development capabilities.

Leveraging advanced predictive models and intelligent management systems, companies can fine-tune control over each production process, ensuring that each link operates at optimal energy efficiency. This improves the efficiency of the entire production system, reduces the company's environmental burden, and promotes the cement industry's transition to a green, low-carbon future. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In a first aspect of the present application, a method for optimizing energy management in cement production is provided, the method comprising:
[0006] Based on the cement production process, appropriate energy monitoring equipment is deployed at key production links to achieve coverage and collection of key energy consumption nodes throughout the plant, thereby acquiring and collecting multiple types of historical energy consumption data;
[0007] Based on the time series optimization structure, the historical energy consumption data and the historical operating condition data of cement production are stored in a time domain alignment strategy;
[0008] Based on the historical energy consumption data and the historical operating condition data, combined with equipment characteristic data of the cement production equipment, the equipment characteristic data is used as an input variable to train an energy consumption prediction model, and the energy consumption prediction model is used to identify the change patterns of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption, and vertical mill power consumption under different production conditions;
[0009] Based on the energy consumption prediction model, a multi-objective energy efficiency evaluation function is constructed, a benchmark energy consumption vector is introduced to construct a dynamic evaluation system for equipment energy efficiency, energy consumption intervals are clustered for full-cycle data, and different energy consumption levels are defined;
[0010] By combining the real-time operating condition data and real-time energy consumption data collected in real time, the corresponding energy consumption level is determined, and then the production parameters are dynamically adjusted through a multivariate regression algorithm.
[0011] On the basis of the above technical solution, preferably, based on the historical energy consumption data and the historical operating condition data, combined with the equipment characteristic data of the cement production equipment, the equipment characteristic data is used as an input variable to train an energy consumption prediction model, and before identifying the change patterns of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption and vertical mill power consumption under different production conditions through the energy consumption prediction model, the method further includes:

[0014] During the training process, the energy consumption per unit of clinker, grinding power consumption, and vertical mill power consumption were used as target variables to construct a multi-objective regression model structure. An adaptive learning rate optimization algorithm with an early stopping mechanism was used for training to avoid overfitting.
[0015] Deploy the trained energy consumption prediction model. Based on the historical energy consumption data, historical operating condition data, and equipment characteristic data at any moment, the model outputs the predicted values of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption, and vertical mill power consumption corresponding to any moment through a forward reasoning process, thereby identifying the change pattern of energy consumption indicators under given operating conditions.

[0034] When it is determined that the energy consumption level label is at a preset level, a mapping relationship is established with the real-time operating condition data as an independent variable and the energy efficiency deviation measurement value as a dependent variable to form an operating condition energy consumption function with reverse control;
[0035] By numerically solving the gradient descent direction of the operating condition energy consumption function, combining the real-time operating condition data with the partial derivative information in the energy efficiency function, the optimal direction and amplitude of adjusting each variable while maintaining equipment stability are calculated to form a production parameter adjustment vector.

[0063] Faced with the dual challenges of rising energy costs and intensifying environmental pressures, cement manufacturers must implement refined energy optimization management to improve energy utilization, reduce production costs, and minimize carbon emissions. By accurately monitoring and dynamically optimizing energy consumption across all production processes, combined with intelligent forecasting models and management systems, resources can be rationally allocated, equipment loads can be balanced, and energy efficiency can be maximized. This enhances market competitiveness and sustainable development capabilities, driving the cement industry's green and low-carbon transformation.
[0064] This embodiment discloses an energy optimization management method for cement production, referring to Figure 1 , including the following steps S110-S150:
[0065] S110, based on the cement production process, deploys adaptive energy monitoring equipment at key production links to achieve coverage and collection of key energy consumption nodes throughout the plant, thereby acquiring and collecting multiple types of historical energy consumption data.
[0066] The energy optimization management method for cement production disclosed in the embodiments of this application is applied to a server. The server includes, but is not limited to, electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, and personal computers (PCs), and can also be a background server running the energy optimization management method for cement production. The server can be implemented as a standalone server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.
[0067] In one possible implementation, according to the cement production process, adaptive energy monitoring equipment is deployed at key production links to achieve coverage and collection of key energy consumption nodes throughout the plant, thereby obtaining and collecting multiple types of historical energy consumption data, specifically including: identifying process nodes and analyzing the correlation between energy consumption based on a complete cement production line process diagram, clarifying the energy consumption composition characteristics of each subsystem in the clinker calcination section, raw meal preparation section, cement grinding section, waste heat recovery section and auxiliary facilities section, and connecting all deployed energy monitoring equipment to the edge collection terminal; obtaining historical energy consumption data uniformly collected and transmitted in real time by the edge collection terminal for energy monitoring equipment of different formats.
[0068] Specifically, it is first necessary to conduct process node identification and energy consumption correlation analysis based on a complete cement production line process diagram. By systematically analyzing the process flow and energy transfer paths of the clinker calcination section, raw meal preparation section, cement grinding section, waste heat recovery section, and auxiliary facilities section, the core process units and main energy consumption sources of each subsystem are identified, including the rotary kiln main drive system, vertical mill main motor, grate cooler fan system, raw meal grinding system, coal powder preparation system, and waste heat boiler steam generation device. Combined with historical operating data and process equipment technical parameters, an energy consumption structure model for each process subsystem is constructed, and appropriate energy monitoring equipment layout points are determined to ensure that the monitoring coverage can reflect the spatial distribution of energy consumption behavior and energy flow patterns.
[0069] After completing the planning of monitoring points, deploy appropriate energy monitoring equipment based on the energy consumption parameter types and data accuracy requirements of each subsystem. For power consumption parameters, a combination of three-phase smart meters and current transformers that support Modbus RTU or IEC 61850 communication protocols is used to achieve high-precision acquisition of equipment current, voltage, active power, and power factor. For thermal energy parameters such as gas or steam, a vortex flowmeter or turbine flowmeter with a temperature and pressure compensation mechanism is used in combination with thermocouples and differential pressure transmitters to form a thermal energy metering node. For air volume and material flow, piezoresistive pressure sensors, electromagnetic flowmeters, and speed sensors are deployed to construct a flow acquisition channel for gas-solid two-phase media. All energy monitoring equipment should have real-time communication capabilities and high-reliability insulation structures, and be able to adapt to the dust, high temperature, and strong interference electromagnetic environment of the cement plant.
[0070] Once deployed, all energy monitoring devices must be connected to edge acquisition terminals via RS485 bus, Ethernet, or 4G / 5G wireless communication. These terminals should possess multi-protocol parsing capabilities, end-side buffering mechanisms, data resuming capabilities, and preprocessing capabilities. They should be able to perform unified protocol conversion, timestamp synchronization, anomaly elimination, and hierarchical caching on data collected by heterogeneous energy monitoring devices, and then encapsulate them into structured data packets in a specified format. These edge acquisition terminals transmit the processed, structured historical energy consumption data to the central energy management system in real time, while retaining local redundant copies to prevent data loss and ensure the integrity, continuity, and low latency of data collection.
[0071] Through the above implementation steps, a complete energy monitoring equipment deployment system and a stable historical energy consumption data acquisition path can be formed, realizing accurate monitoring and data collection of key energy consumption nodes in the entire cement production process, and providing basic data support for the subsequent construction of a time series database, training of energy consumption prediction models, and dynamic energy efficiency optimization.
[0072] S120 , storing historical energy consumption data and historical operating condition data of cement production using a time domain alignment strategy based on a time series optimization structure.
[0073] In one possible implementation, historical energy consumption data and historical operating condition data of cement production are stored using a time domain alignment strategy based on a time series optimization structure, specifically including: constructing a time series data model, the time series data model uses a timestamp as the primary index, and by setting a unique identifier for each energy monitoring device, encapsulating the parameter data of each energy monitoring device at each time granularity into a four-tuple structure of timestamp, energy monitoring device identifier, parameter type and parameter value, forming a multidimensional data set based on the time axis in a unified format; performing time standardization processing on the data stream generated by each energy monitoring device, specifically including time interpolation processing, sampling frequency normalization processing and data window reconstruction processing; performing time slicing processing on the data stream after time standardization according to a fixed time window length, and each time window constitutes a complete operating condition snapshot, and the operating condition snapshot covers the historical energy consumption parameters and historical operating condition parameters collected by the energy monitoring device, realizing synchronous encapsulation under the time axis.
[0074] Specifically, a time series data model is first constructed. The time series data model uses the timestamp as the primary index, sets a unique energy monitoring device identifier for each energy monitoring device, and represents the parameter value collected at each time granularity as a quadruple of timestamp, energy monitoring device identifier, parameter type and parameter value through a unified data encapsulation structure. A two-dimensional time-device data table structure is constructed based on the quadruple, and all energy monitoring device data are vertically spliced in the time axis direction to form a data primary key structure that crosses devices and parameter types, thereby realizing the orderly organization of multi-dimensional energy consumption parameters under a unified time reference.
[0075] Subsequently, the data streams collected by each energy monitoring device are subjected to time normalization processing, which includes three consecutive steps: time interpolation processing, sampling frequency normalization processing, and data window reconstruction processing. In the time interpolation processing stage, for missing time points due to network fluctuations, communication delays, or device interval sampling, linear interpolation or cubic spline interpolation methods are used to estimate the missing values in the time dimension, thereby ensuring the integrity of the parameter set corresponding to each time point. In the sampling frequency normalization processing stage, according to the benchmark sampling period set by the system (such as 10 seconds or 30 seconds), data sources with different sampling frequencies are uniformly processed. High-frequency data is downsampled using the average resampling method, and low-frequency data is padded using the interpolation method, thereby achieving sampling alignment of data of different frequencies at a unified time step. In the data window reconstruction processing stage, the data stream is divided into sliding or fixed time windows in combination with the standardized data stream, ensuring that each time window contains the complete sampling values of all energy monitoring devices in that time period, forming a data snapshot that can be input into the model.
[0076] Finally, the time-normalized data is time-sliced according to a fixed time window length. Each slice constitutes a complete operating condition snapshot, encompassing the historical energy consumption parameters and historical operating condition parameters collected by all energy monitoring devices within the current time window, ensuring that the parameter data within the same time window is strictly aligned on the time axis. All operating condition snapshots are continuously stored in a time series database, forming a structured data system with horizontal device distribution dimensions and vertical time continuity dimensions. This provides a consistent, high-precision time series data foundation for subsequent energy consumption forecasting modeling, energy efficiency evaluation calculations, and dynamic control strategies.
[0077] S130, based on historical energy consumption data and historical operating condition data, combined with equipment characteristic data of cement production equipment, using the equipment characteristic data as input variables, trains an energy consumption prediction model, and uses the energy consumption prediction model to identify the change patterns of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption, and vertical mill power consumption under different production conditions.
[0078] In one possible implementation, based on historical energy consumption data and historical operating condition data, combined with equipment characteristic data of cement production equipment, the energy consumption prediction model is trained with the equipment characteristic data as input variables. Before the energy consumption prediction model is used to identify the change patterns of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption and vertical mill power consumption under different production conditions, the method further includes: constructing an input variable vector using historical energy consumption data, historical operating condition data and equipment characteristic data; constructing an energy consumption prediction model input variable system covering the energy consumption links of the entire plant; during the training process, unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption and vertical mill power consumption are used as target variables to construct a multi-objective regression model structure, and an adaptive learning rate optimization algorithm with an early stopping mechanism is used for training to avoid overfitting; the trained energy consumption prediction model is deployed, and based on the input of historical energy consumption data, historical operating condition data and equipment characteristic data at any moment, the predicted values of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption and vertical mill power consumption corresponding to any moment are output through a forward reasoning process, thereby identifying the change patterns of energy consumption indicators under given operating conditions.
[0079] Specifically, historical energy consumption data, historical operating condition data, and equipment characteristic data must first be structurally unified and formatted to construct an input variable vector. This input variable vector uses timestamps as the index and aggregates the corresponding energy consumption parameter values, operating condition parameter values, and static equipment characteristic parameters at each time point. The energy consumption parameter values include the electrical energy, current, gas flow, and thermal energy values collected by each energy monitoring device. The operating condition parameter values include material flow, air pressure, temperature, vibration, and speed. The equipment characteristic parameters include the equipment's rated power, design load, maintenance cycle, start-stop frequency, and actual operating life. After time alignment and feature normalization, these are uniformly encoded into a fixed-dimensional input variable vector to form a complete and intact training sample infrastructure.
[0080] Based on these input variable vectors, an input variable system for the energy consumption prediction model was constructed, covering all energy consumption aspects of the plant. This system, based on the logical division of cement production, divides the input variable vectors into functional subsets for clinker calcination, raw meal preparation, cement grinding, and auxiliary facilities. This ensures that the model can independently model and jointly analyze the differences in energy consumption behavior between different production stages. A feature screening mechanism was established for each variable subset. Low-correlation input items were eliminated based on the Pearson correlation coefficient and mutual information index, while retaining high-impact variables to improve the model's generalization and stability.
[0081] During the model training phase, a multi-objective regression model structure was constructed using unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption, and vertical mill power consumption as independent target variables. A combined model structure was adopted that integrated a convolutional neural network with a long-short-term memory network. The convolutional neural network was used to extract the local trend characteristics of the input variable vector within the time dimension, and the long-short-term memory network was used to capture the temporal dependencies and nonlinear interactions between variables. During the training process, a multi-objective loss function was introduced to simultaneously perform error backpropagation and weighted optimization on the three types of target variables. To prevent overfitting during training, an adaptive learning rate optimization algorithm with an early stopping mechanism was adopted. The training process was automatically terminated when the validation set loss function did not significantly decrease within several rounds, and the gradient update rate was dynamically adjusted to improve convergence efficiency and generalization performance.
[0082] After the training is completed, the energy consumption prediction model is deployed to the industrial data processing system, and forward reasoning is performed based on the real-time input of historical energy consumption data, historical operating data, and equipment characteristic data. The forward reasoning process inputs the current moment input variable vector into the trained model structure, and after sequential processing by the convolution layer and the memory network structure, it finally outputs the unit clinker energy consumption prediction value, grinding power consumption prediction value, and vertical mill power consumption prediction value corresponding to the current moment. The three output values constitute the current energy consumption index prediction vector. By comparing and analyzing the evolution trend of the energy consumption index prediction vector at different time nodes, the change pattern of each energy consumption index under the current production working conditions can be identified, thereby providing a quantitative basis for subsequent energy efficiency evaluation, energy consumption level determination, and dynamic parameter adjustment strategy.
[0083] In one possible implementation, based on the historical energy consumption data, historical operating condition data and equipment characteristic data at any moment of input, the predicted values of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption and vertical mill power consumption corresponding to that moment are output through a forward reasoning process, so as to identify the change pattern of energy consumption indicators under given operating conditions. Specifically, the following steps are performed: first, the historical energy consumption data, historical operating condition data and equipment characteristic data at the moment to be predicted are standardized and constructed into an input variable vector. The dimension of the input variable vector remains consistent with that in the training phase, and the sliding window structure of the input variable in the time dimension is retained; in the forward reasoning process, the input variable vector passes through several convolutional layers and pooling layers of the convolutional neural network in turn to extract the change trend within the local time segment. Features, the convolution kernel slides in the time dimension to extract the approximate expression of the first-order derivative and the second-order derivative, and captures the local slope changes of energy consumption and working condition fluctuations; the output of the convolutional neural network is input into the long short-term memory network as a feature sequence. The long short-term memory network learns the time dependency between different dimensions in the input variable vector between the past and the current moment through its gating mechanism. The forgetting gate controls the degree of retention of historical information, the input gate controls the writing of new states, and the output gate generates the hidden vector of the current state. The hidden vector represents the fusion representation of global features and historical dependency features; the hidden vector is mapped to the unit clinker energy consumption prediction value, grinding power consumption prediction value and vertical mill power consumption prediction value through a group of parallel fully connected layers, forming a group of one-to-one corresponding regression outputs.
[0084] Specifically, the historical energy consumption data, historical operating condition data, and equipment characteristic data at the time to be predicted are first standardized. The Z-Score method is used for numerical normalization. The specific calculation formula is:
[0085]
[0086] where x i,j represents the jth original variable of the i-th sample, μ j and σ j are the mean and standard deviation of the jth variable, x′ i,j is the normalized data value. The normalized data is organized into input variable vectors Where T represents the number of time steps in the sliding window, and D represents the dimension of the input variable corresponding to each time step. The dimension of the input variable vector is consistent with that in the training phase to ensure the compatibility of the model structure and retain the window structure of the time dimension for time series feature extraction.
[0087] Then enter the forward reasoning process, input variable vector X t It is sent to the convolutional neural network structure for feature extraction. In the convolution layer, the input feature tensor is The convolution kernel is The convolution output at each position is:
[0088]
[0089] Where k is the time step length of the convolution kernel, f(·) is a nonlinear activation function such as ReLU, and b c By stacking multiple convolutional layers and pooling layers, we can extract local slope features such as first-order derivatives and second-order derivatives within the time window, thereby enhancing the model's ability to perceive energy consumption parameter fluctuation trends.
[0090] The feature sequence output by the convolutional neural network is fed into the long short-term memory network for temporal dependency modeling. Let the convolution output at time t be x t , then the update process of the long short-term memory network is as follows:
[0091] Forget Gate:
[0092] f t =σ(W f ·[h t-1 ,x t ]+b f )
[0093] Input Gate:
[0094] i t =σ(W i ·[h t-1 ,x t ]+b i ),
[0095] Unit status update:
[0096]
[0097] Output gate and hidden vector:
[0098] o t =σ(W o ·[h t-1 ,x t ]+b o ),h t =o t ⊙tanh(c t )
[0099] Where W f ,W i ,W c ,W o are the gating parameter matrices, b f ,b i ,b c ,b ois the bias vector, σ(·) is the sigmoid function, ⊙ represents the Hadamard product, h t It is the final output hidden vector, which is used to integrate the global features and time-dependent features between the current moment and the historical moment.
[0100] The hidden vector h t are simultaneously input into three parallel fully connected layer structures and mapped into the unit clinker energy consumption prediction values Grinding power consumption prediction Vertical mill power consumption prediction value The calculation formula is:
[0101]
[0102] Where W C ,W M ,W V is the regression weight matrix, b C ,b M ,b V is a bias term, and its output values are the regression prediction results of the three core energy consumption indicators under the current input conditions. This output constitutes the energy consumption indicator prediction vector at any given moment. By dynamically comparing this prediction vector with the prediction vectors at other moments in the historical interval, we can identify the changing patterns of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption, and vertical mill power consumption under given operating conditions, assisting in the subsequent decision-making of optimized control strategies.
[0103] In this application's energy optimization management method for cement production, energy consumption indicators selected as unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption, and vertical mill power consumption are core evaluation dimensions, demonstrating rigorous process-specificity and efficient energy efficiency identification. These three energy consumption indicators cover the three most critical, concentrated energy consumption links in cement production, which are most susceptible to changes in production parameters. They accurately reflect the dynamic characteristics and structural distribution of energy use, and serve as the foundation for building a precise energy efficiency evaluation system and implementing intelligent energy-saving control.
[0104] Unit clinker energy consumption is a highly representative indicator that reflects the overall thermal and electrical energy consumption intensity of the clinker calcining stage. Its value is directly related to fuel supply, rotary kiln thermal efficiency, grate cooler waste heat recovery efficiency, and raw fuel composition stability. It is a core parameter for measuring the energy efficiency level of thermal systems. Grinding power consumption reflects the level of electricity consumption corresponding to each ton of cement output in the entire grinding system. It covers the power consumption performance of cement mills, powder selectors, conveying fans, and grading systems. It is a key indicator for evaluating the energy efficiency control capabilities of finished product processing. Vertical mill power consumption focuses more on the vertical roller mill system widely used in modern cement production lines. Its energy consumption changes are not only closely related to the ventilation inside the mill, material particle size, lamination pressure, and operating strategy, but also have an important impact on the electrical load stability of the system operation. It is the basis for optimizing the operation mode of the mill system and improving grinding efficiency.
[0105] Compared with the coarse-grained management method in the prior art that only uses total power consumption, system average energy consumption or overall comprehensive energy consumption as the basis for evaluation, this application can achieve sensitive capture of energy consumption response to changes in production behavior by decomposing the energy consumption structure and extracting key sub-item indicators with physical interpretability, so that the energy consumption assessment model has stronger refined identification capabilities and process correspondence. At the same time, the multi-objective prediction system composed of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption and vertical mill power consumption as indicators with sub-item independence and interrelationships can support the construction of multi-dimensional energy efficiency evaluation functions, realize dynamic grading and regional optimization and regulation, and significantly improve the energy efficiency identification accuracy, energy-saving optimization response speed and adaptability of control strategies compared with the prior art, thereby achieving a systematic improvement in the operating efficiency of the cement production system and a scientific reconstruction of the energy use structure while ensuring stable product quality.
[0106] S140, based on the energy consumption prediction model, constructs a multi-objective energy efficiency evaluation function, introduces a benchmark energy consumption vector to build a dynamic evaluation system for equipment energy efficiency, clusters energy consumption intervals for the full cycle data, and defines different energy consumption levels.
[0107] First, the unit clinker energy consumption prediction value, grinding power consumption prediction value and vertical mill power consumption prediction value at each moment are extracted from the energy consumption prediction model. The three prediction values constitute a set of three-dimensional prediction energy consumption index vectors, denoted as (C t ,M t ,V t ), where C t 、M t 、V t They represent the predicted value of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption and vertical mill power consumption at the current time t respectively. The predicted energy consumption index vector serves as the core input data for the subsequent energy efficiency evaluation function calculation.
[0108] Subsequently, based on statistical analysis of historical energy consumption data or optimal operating data obtained under standardized production conditions, a baseline value for unit clinker energy consumption (C0), a baseline value for grinding power consumption (M0), and a baseline value for vertical mill power consumption (V0) are set. These three values form a baseline energy consumption vector (C0, M0, V0). This baseline energy consumption vector represents the energy consumption characteristics of the equipment system at its optimal energy efficiency state and serves as a reference for comparing the energy consumption index vectors predicted at each subsequent moment, providing a benchmark standard for deviation analysis.
[0109] Based on the above-mentioned predicted energy consumption index vector and benchmark energy consumption vector, a multi-objective energy efficiency evaluation function is further constructed, and the energy efficiency deviation measurement value E at each moment is calculated using the weighted Euclidean distance form. t , which is used to quantify the degree of deviation between the current system operating state and the optimal energy efficiency state. The calculation formula is:
[0110]
[0111] Among them, w1, w2, and w3 represent the importance weights of the three dimensions of unit clinker energy consumption, grinding power consumption, and vertical mill power consumption, respectively. The weight values are set according to their proportion in the total energy consumption or their sensitivity to process stability, ensuring that the evaluation function has a stronger response ability to high-impact dimensions. By calculating the energy efficiency deviation measurement value at each time point, a complete energy efficiency deviation time series {E t}, used for energy efficiency status evaluation throughout the entire cycle.
[0112] Finally, the energy efficiency deviation time series {E t The K-means variant clustering algorithm is used for unsupervised cluster analysis. The K-means variant algorithm divides the energy efficiency deviation values at all times into several energy consumption level intervals by initializing, iteratively optimizing the cluster centers and minimizing the intra-class square error. Each cluster center represents a typical energy efficiency level area. The system divides the E t The value is classified into the category of the nearest cluster center and labeled with a corresponding energy consumption grade label, such as "Excellent," "Medium," "Poor," or a multi-level structure. This energy consumption grade label serves as a real-time basis for the dynamic evaluation system of equipment energy efficiency, supporting subsequent control optimization mechanisms triggered by energy consumption grades, and achieving continuous tracking and intelligent regulation of energy efficiency levels at all stages of cement production.
[0113] S150 combines the real-time working condition data and real-time energy consumption data collected in real time to determine the corresponding energy consumption level, and then dynamically adjusts the production parameters through a multivariate regression algorithm.
[0114] In one possible implementation, the real-time working condition data and the real-time working condition data collected in real time are combined to dynamically adjust the production parameters through a multivariate regression algorithm, specifically including: obtaining the real-time working condition data and the real-time energy consumption data of each key energy consumption node according to the energy monitoring equipment deployed in the cement production system; aligning the real-time working condition data and the real-time energy consumption data with the timestamps to construct a real-time input variable vector in a unified format; after the real-time input variable vector is constructed, calling the deployed energy consumption prediction model for forward reasoning to calculate the actual unit clinker energy consumption prediction value, the actual grinding power consumption prediction value and the actual vertical mill power consumption prediction value at the current moment; and aligning the actual unit clinker energy consumption prediction value, the actual grinding power consumption prediction value and the actual The predicted value of the mill's power consumption constitutes an energy consumption index vector, which is substituted into the multi-objective energy efficiency evaluation function constructed based on the historical modeling stage to obtain the actual energy efficiency deviation measurement value at the current moment; the energy consumption level label corresponding to the actual energy efficiency deviation measurement value is determined through a preset energy consumption interval clustering model; when it is determined that the energy consumption level label is at the preset level, a mapping relationship is established with the real-time operating data as the independent variable and the energy efficiency deviation measurement value as the dependent variable to form an operating condition energy consumption function with reverse control; by numerically solving the operating condition energy consumption function in the direction of gradient descent, combining the real-time operating condition data with the partial derivative information in the energy efficiency function, the optimal direction and amplitude of adjustment of each variable under the premise of maintaining equipment stability are calculated to form a production parameter adjustment vector.
[0115] Specifically, the system first collects real-time operating data and energy consumption data for each key energy-consuming node based on the energy monitoring equipment deployed in the cement production system. The real-time operating data includes, but is not limited to, parameters such as raw material feed rate, main drive motor speed, mill ventilation pressure, grate cooler air volume and outlet temperature, and classifier wind speed. The real-time energy consumption data includes parameters such as active power, electrical energy per unit time, fuel flow, steam production, and waste heat recovery efficiency. Both types of data are collected at high frequency by energy monitoring equipment distributed at each energy-consuming node and transmitted to the edge acquisition terminal.
[0116] The real-time operating condition data and the real-time energy consumption data are then timestamped. A time synchronization mechanism and time interpolation methods are used to synchronize and correct data streams with different frequencies or communication delays. A real-time input variable vector in a unified format is constructed with a fixed time step (e.g., 10 seconds). This input variable vector uses each time step as an index dimension and aggregates the standardized values of all current operating condition parameters and energy consumption parameters to form a multidimensional structured vector that serves as the input basis for subsequent model reasoning and control optimization.
[0117] After the real-time input variable vector is constructed, the energy consumption prediction model deployed in the training phase is called to perform forward reasoning on the vector, and the actual unit clinker energy consumption prediction value, actual grinding power consumption prediction value and actual vertical mill power consumption prediction value at the current moment are output in sequence. The three prediction results constitute the energy consumption index vector (C t ,M t ,V t The energy consumption index vector is then input into the multi-objective energy efficiency evaluation function constructed in the historical stage to calculate the actual energy efficiency deviation metric value E at the current moment. t , which is used to quantify the degree of difference between the current real-time operating state and the baseline energy consumption state.
[0118] Based on the energy consumption deviation metric E t , further clustering labels are mapped to the value through the preset energy consumption interval clustering model to obtain its corresponding energy consumption level label. If the energy consumption level label is within the preset critical value range of "medium" or "poor", the system immediately enters the dynamic parameter adjustment stage. In this stage, the current real-time working condition data is used as the independent variable and the current actual energy efficiency deviation measurement value is used as the dependent variable. A mapping relationship is formed through regression modeling, that is, the reverse working condition energy consumption function is controlled. The construction form is:
[0119] E t =f(X t )
[0120] where X t is the current operating condition variable vector, and f(·) is the energy efficiency response function.
[0121] By numerically solving the energy consumption function of the above working condition in the direction of gradient descent, the objective function E is calculated. t For each operating variable x i The partial derivative of Combined with the current input variable value and gradient direction, under the conditions of equipment stability, operation constraints and safety boundary conditions, the optimal adjustment range and direction of each key variable are determined to construct the production parameter adjustment vector ΔX t =(δx1,δx2,…,δx n The production parameter adjustment vector is then transmitted to the industrial control system interface and parameter correction operations are performed, completing an adaptive closed-loop optimization control based on the real-time energy efficiency level, thereby dynamically keeping the production conditions running within the optimal energy efficiency level.
