Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deep-sea mining operations, and in particular to a global cost optimization method based on multi-system safety of deep-sea mining operations. Background Art
[0002] As global demand for resources continues to increase, deep-sea mineral resources are considered to have strategic potential and have attracted increasing attention. Deep-sea mineral resources are rich in variety and huge in quantity. Polymetallic nodules, polymetallic sulfides, cobalt-rich crusts, and rare earth-rich muds are the main types of mineral resources found on the global seabed. They are rich in manganese, copper, nickel, cobalt, rare earth elements, gold, silver, zirconium, chromium, tungsten, tin, molybdenum, antimony, lithium, and other metal elements. These metals have important applications in electronics, renewable energy, and aerospace, making the efficient collection of deep-sea minerals while minimizing environmental disturbance a major research challenge. As a comprehensive technological framework for developing seabed mineral resources, deep-sea mining systems have evolved from early exploration and testing to an intelligent system centered around surface vessels, subsea mining vehicles, and pipeline hoisting systems. However, these systems still face numerous challenges, including adaptability to extreme high-pressure environments, risks of ecological damage, and high operating costs. Therefore, the deep-sea mining industry urgently needs a global cost optimization method based on the safety of multiple systems in deep-sea mining operations. This approach can improve mining efficiency and energy utilization, reduce energy consumption, and achieve safer mining operations. Furthermore, it can reduce costs and increase efficiency across multiple mining vehicle systems, thereby lowering the overall cost of mining operations.
[0003] Based on the above practical problems, existing technologies have carried out certain designs and optimizations on deep-sea mining operation systems, but the following problems still exist: 1. The independent optimization mode of local subsystems is mostly adopted, and there is a lack of multi-system integration and collaborative optimization mechanism, resulting in the coupling effect between subsystems not being effectively utilized and the overall operating cost not reaching the optimal state; 2. Traditional deep-sea mining equipment uses high-density structural materials, which leads to excessively high bearing stress of the travel mechanism, resulting in a significant increase in power energy consumption, which limits the efficiency of ore collection operations; 3. A dynamic resource scheduling mechanism based on multi-source sensor data streams has not been established, resulting in insufficient matching between energy allocation strategies and working conditions; 4. The three-degree-of-freedom active-passive combined heave compensation system has not been optimized, resulting in low compensation accuracy and high energy consumption; 5. Data sharing between various systems in deep-sea mining operations has not been achieved, and the synergy between various systems cannot be well coordinated, resulting in unnecessary cost consumption.
