[0050] On the basis of physical objects, modern simulation technology is used to build complex virtual simulation objects, which are then combined with DCS control systems and physical objects to achieve training effects of virtual-real interconnection, virtual-real integration, and virtual-real complementarity.
[0051] refer to Figure 3 The virtual-real thermal control simulation architecture consists of a pair of redundant DPU control cabinets forming a minimum DCS control system. The DPU control cabinet is connected to real devices such as motors, inverters, instruments, and actuators through I / O channels. The DPU control cabinet, object model server, modeling workstation, DCS engineer station, and DCS operation station are connected using industrial Ethernet to achieve interconnection between the object model server, modeling workstation, and DCS control system. The object model server provides various object sub-models of the thermal power plant for selection, which is conducive to thermal control simulation control for a specific object. The model can be selected and called on the modeling workstation.
[0052] The thermal control maintenance training unit is used to build a professional thermal control maintenance training room, including the maintenance of conventional thermal control equipment and the use of tool maintenance boxes. It covers all thermal control maintenance contents, including electric actuators, pneumatic actuators, pipelines and valves, primary instruments, secondary instruments, and control circuit wiring;
[0053] There are three types of actuators in the training room. The first type is a multi-turn electric actuator without adjustment function and a split structure. The control part is in the split cabinet and is connected to the DCS control skills training room signal switching cabinet. The second type is an adjustment electric actuator (including a bracket) with adjustment function and the signal part is connected to the DCS control skills training room signal switching cabinet.

[0058] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with Examples 1 to 4:
[0059] Example 1:
[0060] This embodiment is used to describe the technical features, functions, and implementation methods of the DCS control training unit, specifically including:
[0061] Virtual-reality combination module, used to realize the combination of actual equipment and virtual thermal process;
[0062] Thermal control technicians can choose to use real on-site equipment instead of virtual equipment to participate in system debugging. If real equipment is chosen, such as a control valve, this real control valve can be used as a device in the simulation model to participate in regulation, such as the outlet control valve of a pump. In this way, any operation on the real equipment will also affect the calculation of the model, such as on-site operation, so that the real equipment and virtual model are organically combined.
[0063] Process modeling module, used to implement online, interactive process modeling methods;
[0064] The model management software is run on the modeling engineer station. The training personnel select the model to be connected on the model management software. After the user selects the required model, the model management software sends a command to the model library. The corresponding model is then called from the model library. At the same time, the system provides the system configuration requirements and corresponding I / O for the user to use. No programming language is required during the modeling process. The modeler only needs to select the appropriate modules and connect them to generate a complete system model. The production process model established in a modular way can be modified in various ways online and interactively.
[0065] Model extension module, responsible for calling flexible extension model library software;
[0066] The model library software is an expandable library that can provide corresponding models for use according to user needs. Currently, the model library contains classic control objects, all thermal power plant closed-loop objects, and some typical controlled objects. Through continuous supplementation and expansion, control objects of other systems can be added to meet the needs of different disciplines.
[0067] Operation and maintenance module, used for DCS hardware operation and system maintenance;
[0068] It mainly includes hardware operation and system maintenance, such as: DCS system installation, I / O configuration; DCS hardware reliability inspection and replacement; redundant DPU non-disruptive switching test switching; process signal forcing; configuration loading and unloading, system backup and other routine operations, in order to improve the maintenance skills of thermal workers;
[0069] DCS software configuration and debugging module, used for system configuration training;
[0070] Several sub-models are provided on the model machine, such as the operation screens and control logic configurations of various MCS and SCS subsystems. Thermal control personnel complete the entire process from operation screen configuration, logic configuration, and on-site equipment system joint debugging. This function helps thermal control personnel fully master logic configuration and optimization, and become familiar with and understand the closed-loop objects and characteristics of thermal power plants.
[0071] The control system design and optimization module allows thermal control technicians to conduct various control system research and design tasks on the simulation and training platform, such as control system simulation research, configuration analysis, and control system parameter optimization.
[0072] The on-site actual equipment calibration module is responsible for plugging in a number of actual on-site equipment, such as actuators, frequency converters, and various transmitters. It can carry out debugging and adjustment of the external equipment, and then connect the actual equipment to the DPU through signal cables and terminal blocks. Through this training, thermal engineering personnel can master the debugging and adjustment of related on-site equipment, system wiring and configuration, and system joint debugging.
[0073] The fault diagnosis and analysis module is used to set certain faults. By analyzing and eliminating historical data, it can point out the direction and possible causes of the faults. It is used to train the fault elimination and analysis capabilities of thermal workers. For example, it simulates interference with certain thermal signals, and the thermal workers can obtain the corresponding correct conclusions through data analysis.
[0074] Thermal test module, thermal engineers can conduct various thermal tests in the device, such as: test experiment of object mathematical model, single closed-loop system experiment, cascade control system experiment, three-impulse control system experiment, ratio control system experiment, feedforward-feedback control system experiment, etc.
[0075] Example 2:
[0076] This embodiment is used to study the object model server, that is, the virtual-real thermal control simulation model. The thermal control simulation model is mainly based on the typical units of 300MW, 600MW and 1000MW capacity of the State Energy Corporation as reference objects. Figure 4 Displayed data flow;
[0077] The simulation model software mainly consists of on-site production real-time database software, DCS control software, PLC control software, DCS screen display software, model library software and various communication software;
[0078] Real-time production data is communicated in one direction through the gateway, flowing from on-site production data to the system in one direction, enabling real-time display and playback of production data for on-site accident diagnosis and production data analysis and optimization;
[0079] In the minimum DCS control system, the DPU and the DCS screen use two-way communication. The data collected by the DPU is sent to the real-time screen for display, and operation instructions can also be sent to the DPU through the real-time screen. The simulation model software and the DPU also use two-way communication. The DPU's equipment operation instructions, such as valve position instructions and motor start and stop instructions, are sent to the model software through the OPC communication protocol. After calculation, the model software sends the equipment status and parameters to the DPU for display; valve position, motor status, and water tank water level, etc.
[0080] Actual on-site equipment, such as control valves, motors, and inverters, communicate bidirectionally with the DPU, receiving DPU control instructions through signal lines and IO terminals and feeding back status to the DPU. The actual equipment also sends its status to the object model server through signal lines. The object model server then synchronizes the simulation objects of the actual equipment. By synchronizing the states of the virtual and actual objects, coupling between the actual objects and the virtual system can be achieved.
[0081] In the thermal control configuration training management software, some classic control cases as well as all closed-loop objects and some sequential control objects of thermal power plants are implemented. Users can select different sub-objects according to their needs to perform upper computer configuration, control strategy configuration and debugging. At the same time, it supports different DCS and PLC systems, and has developed a unified and developed data interface. All intelligent devices that meet the corresponding communication interface can be connected to the system, and the control systems can be integrated with each other to meet the needs of different users.
[0082] Example 3:
[0083] This embodiment is used to build a set of intelligent integrated teaching and assessment systems to meet the following requirements: A thermal control skill talent scoring system is established through theoretical assessments, practical assessments, etc., to score the skills of thermal control skill talents and provide direction guidance for subsequent training; information technology is used to track and manage the entire thermal control training process and provide technical guidance and support for the entire process; intelligent recognition technology is used to identify and warn of incorrect and illegal behaviors in the thermal control training process, prompt and provide pre-training education on dangerous and risky points, supervise the entire training process, and ensure the safety of the training process; automatic scoring function is provided for complex training such as thermal control logic configuration and automatic adjustment to meet the needs of daily training and competitions;
[0084] The teaching and evaluation system can achieve a more human-free and intelligent thermal control maintenance training, including student management, safety education, auxiliary teaching and intelligent assessment. Before training, students use the system to learn relevant professional basic knowledge, safety knowledge and key operating points. During training, they can seek help and technical support from the system, which can identify and correct typical violations and operational errors in the training process. After the training, the system provides teaching scoring and assessment. The intelligent integrated teaching and evaluation system can achieve full coverage of the teaching process and realize the intelligent and smart transformation of traditional thermal control maintenance training.
[0085] Using artificial intelligence systems to score thermal control training and competitions solves the long-standing problem of over-reliance on manual judging in thermal control skills training and competitions.

The scoring criteria include the standardization of experimental operations, the accuracy of experimental results, and the completeness of experimental data. At the same time, the scoring criteria should also be operational and measurable to facilitate automatic scoring by the AI system.
[0095] The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0097] Step 2: Model training: Use machine learning algorithms to train and learn the collected experimental data to establish a scoring model. During the training process, it is necessary to continuously adjust the model parameters to improve the accuracy and stability of the scoring.
