Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent operation of thermal power generating sets, and in particular to an intelligent operation auxiliary decision-making system for thermal power generating sets based on big data analysis. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of large-scale thermal power units, the stability of the water-cooled wall is of great significance to the safety and efficiency of the boiler. A large amount of ash easily adheres to the surface of the water-cooled wall tubes, resulting in a decrease in heat transfer performance and possibly aggravated damage to the tube walls in local high-temperature areas. The traditional timed sootblowing mode cannot accurately identify the degree and duration of ash accumulation in different areas, resulting in frequent excessive or insufficient sootblowing, which limits the overall thermal economy and safety of the boiler.
[0003] Existing technologies lack comprehensive evaluation methods for key factors such as real-time changes in flue gas flow rate, tube wall temperature difference, and ash melting point, and are unable to efficiently balance ash accumulation with boiler load changes. To meet the operating requirements of large-scale thermal power units under complex coal-fired conditions, it is necessary to achieve dynamic fusion of multi-source monitoring data through big data analysis methods, so as to accurately obtain the ash accumulation rate while timely evaluating the soot blowing demand and making intelligent decisions.
