Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of risk management of photothermal systems, and in particular to an intelligent operation and maintenance method and related devices for key photothermal energy storage equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the overconsumption of fossil energy and the worsening global environmental problems, the development and utilization of renewable and clean energy has been greatly promoted in recent years. With its unique technological advantages, solar thermal power generation and heat utilization have gained increasing attention and application, showing strong vitality and competitiveness.
[0003] Although trough solar thermal power generation technology has a long history of development and has made progress in technology and economy, its large-scale commercialization still faces challenges, especially in terms of long-term reliability. The stability of core equipment such as solar collectors, heat transfer medium pipelines and heat exchangers is crucial to the power generation efficiency and life of the system. However, due to the long-term exposure of the system to complex environments such as high temperature, corrosion, and high radiation, equipment fatigue, aging and failure problems gradually emerge. The reliability of the equipment directly affects the operational safety, maintenance costs and economic benefits of the system. Through systematic reliability research, the potential failure modes of the equipment can be identified and predicted, and optimization measures can be formulated to improve system availability, extend equipment life, and reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
[0004] Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) prioritizes risks using the risk priority number (RPN) of the failure mode. The RPN is the product of three risk factors: occurrence (O), severity (S), and detection difficulty (D). Due to its ease of implementation, FMEA has been widely used in various fields, including construction, shipping, and the nuclear industry. However, the traditional FMEA method also has certain limitations. First, it uses fixed numbers to assess risks, making it difficult to effectively address the uncertainties in the system. Second, FMEA ignores the consensus of experts on failure mode risks, which may lead to low-quality intelligent operation and maintenance results. In addition, the aggregation process of risk assessment data does not fully consider the weights of experts, which affects the reliability of the analysis results. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0035] This application uses a failure mode, effects, and hazard analysis (FMEA) approach to identify the failure modes, causes, and consequences of critical equipment, including vacuum collector tubes, thermal oil pipes, molten salt pipelines, molten salt tanks, oil-salt heat exchangers, and steam generation system heat exchangers. By introducing fuzzy set theory based on the Z number and the Z-AHP method, the expert opinion aggregation process is improved, and the calculation of risk factor weights is optimized. Ultimately, a risk ranking of equipment failure modes is determined, and corresponding management and optimization measures are proposed to enhance system reliability and safety.
[0036] The intelligent operation and maintenance method of key solar thermal energy storage equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1In the application environment shown. Among them, the terminal 102 communicates with the server 104 through the network. The data storage system can store data that the server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be set up separately, integrated on the server 104, or placed on the cloud or other servers. The terminal 102 can send the failure mode, failure location, failure cause and failure consequences of the key equipment of the trough type solar thermal system to the server 104. The key equipment of the trough type solar thermal system includes: vacuum heat collecting tubes, heat transfer oil pipes, molten salt pipes, molten salt tanks, oil-salt heat exchangers and steam generation system heat exchangers; after the server 104 receives the failure mode, failure location, failure cause and failure consequences of the key equipment of the trough type solar thermal system, the server 104 performs a hazard degree on the failure mode of each device for the failure mode, failure location, failure cause and failure consequences of the key equipment of the trough type solar thermal system. Analyze and obtain risk factors for each device failure mode; the risk factors include severity, incidence, and detectability; use the Z-number improved AHP method to determine the expert evaluation aggregate fuzzy number and weight of each risk factor; perform weighted processing on the expert evaluation aggregate fuzzy number and weight of each risk factor to obtain the risk priority number of key devices in the trough solar thermal system; rank the risk priority numbers of key devices in the trough solar thermal system to obtain a failure mode risk ranking; and determine corresponding management and optimization measures based on the failure mode risk ranking. Server 104 can provide feedback on the obtained management and optimization measures to terminal 102. In addition, in some embodiments, the intelligent operation and maintenance method of key solar thermal energy storage equipment can also be implemented independently by the server 104 or the terminal 102. For example, the terminal 102 can directly perform intelligent operation and maintenance on the failure mode, failure location, failure cause and failure consequences of the key equipment of the trough type solar thermal system, or the server 104 can obtain the failure mode, failure location, failure cause and failure consequences of the key equipment of the trough type solar thermal system from the data storage system, and perform intelligent operation and maintenance on the failure mode, failure location, failure cause and failure consequences of the key equipment of the trough type solar thermal system.
[0037] The terminal 102 may be, but is not limited to, various desktop computers, laptop computers, smart phones, and tablet computers. The server 104 may be implemented as an independent server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or a cloud server.
[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for intelligent operation and maintenance of key equipment of solar thermal energy storage is provided. The method is executed by a computer device, specifically a computer device such as a terminal or a server, or a terminal and a server. In the embodiment of the present application, the method is applied to Figure 1 The server 104 in the example is used as an example to illustrate the method, which includes the following steps S1 to S6.
[0039] S1: Obtain the failure modes, failure locations, failure causes and failure consequences of key equipment in the trough-type solar thermal system; the key equipment in the trough-type solar thermal system includes: vacuum collector tubes, thermal oil pipes, molten salt pipes, molten salt tanks, oil-salt heat exchangers and steam generation system heat exchangers.
[0040] S2: Perform a criticality analysis on the failure mode of each device to obtain risk factors for the failure mode of each device; the risk factors include severity, occurrence rate, and detectability.
[0041] S3: The AHP method improved by Z number is used to determine the expert evaluation aggregate fuzzy number of each risk factor and the weight of each risk factor.
[0042] S4: Perform weighted processing on the aggregated fuzzy number of expert evaluation of each risk factor and the weight of each risk factor to obtain the risk priority number of key equipment of the trough solar thermal system.
[0043] S5: Sort the risk priority numbers of the key equipment of the trough solar thermal system to obtain a failure mode risk ranking.
[0044] S6: Based on the failure mode risk ranking, determine corresponding management and optimization measures.
[0045] By implementing steps S1 to S6 above, focusing on key equipment in a trough solar thermal system, the FMECA method was used to identify equipment failure modes, causes, and consequences based on on-site research, literature review, expert interviews, and relevant national standards. Expert opinions on the risk factors for each failure mode were obtained by combining fuzzy set theory based on the Z number. Expert opinions were aggregated using an improved similarity aggregation method. Risk factor weights were determined using the Z-AHP method. Finally, failure mode risk scores for trough solar thermal system equipment were derived and ranked according to their impact. Based on this, targeted recommendations and management methods were proposed to improve the safety risk management and control level of solar thermal systems, ultimately achieving the goal of maintaining stable risk control.
[0046] The following is an introduction to the fuzzy set Z number and the principle of FMECA method:
[0047] (1) Z-number fuzzy method.
[0048] The use of fuzzy set theory can be interpreted as performing calculations using linguistic variables provided by experts. This approach can overcome the challenges of insufficient historical data or the inability to determine data experimentally. The Z-number incorporates not only fuzzy information but also probabilistic information. Its most important characteristic, distinguishing it from classical fuzzy numbers, is its underlying probability distribution, making it more capable of capturing uncertainty and expert opinion. Parabolic trough (CSP) systems currently lack operational and maintenance data, making traditional fuzzy methods incapable of accurately assessing equipment risk. Therefore, this application employs the Z-number approach to obtain expert risk indicators for key CSP equipment. Generally speaking, the Z-number consists of two parts: Part A and Part B, which can be represented using triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The conversion of decision-maker (expert) language terms into the Z-number is achieved through a combination of conversion rules (Table 1) and reliability associated with the constraints (Table 2). For the constraints, this application uses seven levels of language terms and then creates fuzzy ratings (represented by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, TrFNs) through translation of expert language assessments. Table 1 lists the conversion rules. The reliability of Part A can be evaluated based on 21 language terms. These terms are defined based on confidence percentages. The conversion rules are shown in Table 2.
[0049] Table 1 Restrictive language term conversion rules (Part A)
[0050] Language terminology Trapezoidal fuzzy number / membership function Very Low (VL) (0,0,0.1,0.2) Low (L) (0.1,0.2,0.2,0.3) Slightly lower (SL) (0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5) Medium (M) (0.4,0.5,0.5,0.6) Slightly higher (SH) (0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8) High (H) (0.7,0.8,0.8,0.9) Very High (VH) (0.8,0.9,1,1)

[0052] serial number Language terminology Trapezoidal fuzzy number 1 0% confidence (0,0,0.025,0.05) 2 5% certainty (0.025,0.05,0.075,0.1) 3 10% certainty (0.075,0.1,0.125,0.15) 4 15% certainty (0.125,0.15,0.175,0.2) 5 20% sure (0.175,0.2,0.225,0.25) 6 25% certainty (0.225,0.25,0.275,0.3) 7 30% certainty (0.275,0.3,0.325,0.35) 8 35% certainty (0.325,0.35,0.375,0.4) 9 40% certainty (0.375,0.4,0.425,0.45) 10 45% certainty (0.425,0.45,0.475,0.5) 11 50% sure (0.475,0.5,0.525,0.55) 12 55% certainty (0.525,0.55,0.575,0.6) 13 60% certainty (0.575,0.6,0.625,0.65) 14 65% certainty (0.625,0.65,0.675,0.7) 15 70% certainty (0.675,0.7,0.725,0.75) 16 75% certainty (0.725,0.75,0.775,0.8) 17 80% certainty (0.775,0.8,0.825,0.85) 18 85% confidence (0.825,0.85,0.875,0.9) 19 90% certainty (0.875,0.9,0.925,0.95) 20 95% certainty (0.925,0.95,0.975,1) 21 100% sure (0.975,1,1,1)
[0053] In addition, the membership of TrFN used for the transformation rule is as follows Figure 3 In this embodiment, trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are used to represent Z = [A, B]. For {A = (x, μ A )|x∈X}μ A (x):X∈[0,1],μ A (x) is the first membership function of TrFN; x is a random variable, x∈X, X∈R, R is a real-valued domain; A=(a1,a2,a3,a4), a1 is the first lower limit; a4 is the second lower limit; a2 is the first upper limit; a3 is the second upper limit. μ A (x) can be calculated by the following formula:
[0054]
[0055] The second component of the Z-score represents reliability (B), which can be converted to a clarity value using the following formula:
[0056]
[0057] Among them, α is the clarity value; μB (x) is the second membership function of TrFN; B = (b1, b2, b3, b4), where b1 is the left endpoint of the trapezoidal fuzzy number, b2 is the position where the left membership of the trapezoidal fuzzy number is 1, b3 is the position where the right membership of the trapezoidal fuzzy number is 1, and b4 is the right endpoint of the trapezoidal fuzzy number. Next, the weight of the reliability part is added to the first part, so the weighted Z number is defined as:
[0058]
[0059] Among them, Z α is the weighted Z number; is the membership function of the weighted Z number. Then the irregular fuzzy number (weighted Z number) is converted into a regular fuzzy number, which can be expressed as:
[0060]
[0061] Where Z′ is a regular fuzzy number, Z′=(z1,z2,z3,z4), z1 is the left endpoint of the regular fuzzy number, z2 is the position where the left membership of the regular fuzzy number is 1, z3 is the position where the right membership of the regular fuzzy number is 1, and z4 is the right endpoint of the regular fuzzy number; μ Z′ (x) is the third membership function of the trapezoidal fuzzy number. By combining the above formula, Z = [A, B] can be transferred to the new TrFN to obtain the fuzzy number Z″, which is expressed as:
[0062]
[0063] Among them, Z″ is the Z-number fusion fuzzy number.
[0064] Defuzzification method: This embodiment uses the most widely used Center of Area (COA) method for defuzzification. The COA defuzzification of the trapezoidal fuzzy number can be calculated as follows:
[0065]
[0066] in, de f(A) is the COA defuzzification function of the trapezoidal fuzzy number; r1 is the left endpoint of the Z-number fusion fuzzy number, r2 is the position where the left membership of the Z-number fusion fuzzy number is 1; r3 is the position where the right membership of the Z-number fusion fuzzy number is 1; and r4 is the right endpoint of the Z-number fusion fuzzy number.
[0067] (2)FMECA theory.
[0068] FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis) is mainly divided into two steps. The first step is to complete the failure mode and effect analysis (qualitative analysis) of the research object, and then conduct the second step: CA analysis (criticality analysis). CA analysis uses the probability and severity of each failure mode to comprehensively calculate its criticality, and then sorts them according to the numerical value of the criticality to find the key failures and determine the weak links, so as to fully evaluate the impact of different failures on system products.
[0069] This embodiment calculates the criticality of the fault mode using the improved risk priority number method (RPN). The risk priority number method is a commonly used method for calculating the criticality of the fault. The core is to evaluate the severity (S), occurrence rate (O) and detectability (D) of the fault mode. During the evaluation process, in order to make the evaluation results more reasonable, the AHP method improved by the Z number is used to obtain the weight of each risk factor. The risk base scores of each failure mode obtained by the evaluation are combined with the risk factor weights. Finally, the improved risk priority number is obtained, and the failure mode risk size is sorted according to the numerical value of the RPN. The larger the improved RPN score, the higher the criticality of the fault mode. The risk base scores of each failure mode refer to regular fuzzy numbers, which are defined as follows:
[0070] 1. Its membership function is continuous.
[0071] 2. The membership degree is in the range of [0, 1].
[0072] 3. There is a unique position where the maximum membership value is 1 (i.e. the "kernel" of the fuzzy number).
[0073] 4. The membership function is left-right monotonic (non-decreasing on the left and non-increasing on the right).
[0074] 5. The domain is a finite interval.
[0075] The Z-AHP risk factor weight assessment model used in this example is as follows: Figure 4 shown.
[0076] As an optional implementation, in step S3, the AHP method improved by the Z number is used to determine the expert evaluation aggregate fuzzy number of each risk factor and the weight of each risk factor, specifically including:
[0077] S31: Convert the risk factors of each equipment failure mode into a Z-number evaluation in the form of a Z-number; the Z-number form is represented by a triangular fuzzy number or a trapezoidal fuzzy number.
[0078] S32: Convert the Z-number evaluation into a regular fuzzy number.
[0079] S33: Using the Z-number fuzzy method to fuse the regular fuzzy numbers to obtain a Z-number fused fuzzy number.
[0080] S34: A similarity aggregation method is used to aggregate the Z-number fusion fuzzy number to obtain an expert evaluation aggregated fuzzy number.
[0081] S35: Based on the expert evaluation aggregated fuzzy number, the weight of the risk factor of each equipment failure mode is calculated using the AHP method.
[0082] As an optional implementation, in step S33, the regular fuzzy numbers are fused using a Z-number fuzzy method to obtain a Z-number fused fuzzy number, which specifically includes:
[0083] S331: Determine the first membership function and the second membership function of the trapezoidal fuzzy number.
[0084] S332: Determine a Z number conversion rule based on the first membership function.
[0085] S333: Determine the restriction-related reliability of the Z number based on the second membership function.
[0086] S334: Convert the constraint-related reliability of the Z number into a clarity value.
[0087] S335: Add the clarity value to the conversion rule of the Z number to obtain a weighted Z number.
[0088] S336: Convert the weighted Z number into a regular fuzzy number.
[0089] S337: Add the regular fuzzy number to the conversion rule of the Z number to obtain the Z number fusion fuzzy number.
[0090] This step refers to formula (2) to formula (5).
[0091] The FMECA ranking of the parabolic trough system is as follows:
[0092] (1) Analysis of failure modes, causes and consequences of key trough-type solar thermal equipment.
[0093] Considering the failure modes, causes and consequences of six key equipment including the trough solar thermal system vacuum collector tubes, thermal oil pipes, molten salt pipelines, molten salt tanks, oil-salt heat exchangers and steam generation system heat exchangers, as well as the specific location of each failure mode in the equipment, based on on-site investigations, literature review and expert interviews, the FMEA of each equipment is finally obtained (see Table 3).

[0096]
[0097]
[0098] (2) CA analysis of key trough-type solar thermal equipment.
[0099] After the failure modes, failure locations, failure causes, and failure consequences of key equipment in the trough solar thermal system are explored and FMEA tables are produced, the steps for CA analysis of the failure modes are as follows: Taking the expert-language term evaluation as an example, the experts' Z-number evaluation language terms for the three risk factors of each failure mode are collected, as shown in Table 4.
[0100] Table 4 Expert-level risk factor Z-score evaluation language terminology
[0101]
[0102]
[0103] After converting the linguistic terms given by the experts in the form of Z numbers into regular fuzzy numbers, Table 5 is obtained by adding part B to part A using equations (1)-(5) to obtain the Z number fusion fuzzy numbers.
