[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 A coal quality parameter-based self-adaptive blending combustion method for thermal power generating units, comprising the following steps:
[0044] S1. Raw coal entering and detection: Before raw coal enters the thermal power generating unit, coal quality parameters (such as calorific value, moisture content, ash content, sulfur content, etc.) are obtained in real time by a dual-mode online detection technology (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy LIBS and near-infrared spectroscopy NIR).
[0045] S2. Data digitization and digital twin model updating: digitize the detected coal quality parameters and input them into the system database; based on the latest data, update the digital twin model in real time;
[0046] In addition, a pyrolysis characteristic index (such as ignition index D and stable combustion index W) and NOx generation characteristic correlation model need to be established based on the coal quality database.
[0047] The calculation formula of the pyrolysis characteristic index is:
[0048] ;
[0049] Among them, V daf is the dry ash-free volatile matter (%); A d is the dry ash content (%); FC d is the fixed carbon content (%); and D is the ignition characteristic index (the larger the value, the easier the ignition).
[0050] The NOx generation prediction model is as follows:
[0051] ;
[0052] Among them, T max is the peak temperature of the furnace (K); E a is the activation energy (J / mol); R is the gas constant (8.314 J / (mol·K)); [O2] / [N2] is the oxygen-nitrogen ratio (molar concentration ratio); τ is the gas residence time (s); and k is the coal-related coefficient (fitted by historical data).
[0053] The constraint system of the multi-objective optimization model is constructed: boiler efficiency ≥ 92%, main reheat steam temperature deviation < 10℃, furnace outlet flue gas temperature < 1350℃, pollutant emission ≤ ultra-low limit value, and pulverizing system safety margin > 15%.
[0054] The objective function of the multi-objective optimization model is:
[0055] ;
[0056] The constraint conditions are:
[0057] ;
[0058] wherein x i is the blending ratio of the i-th coal feeder (decision variable); C coal is the coal price vector (yuan / ton); E j is the emission intensity of pollutant j (g / kWh); w j is the pollutant weight coefficient (set according to environmental protection policy); η boiler is the boiler efficiency (calculated through the heat balance equation).
[0059] S3. Dynamic characteristics and safety analysis: dynamic characteristics analysis is performed through the digital twin model to predict the response of coal combustion (such as combustion rate, heat release curve); at the same time, the safety constraint boundary (such as temperature, pressure, emission limit value) is calculated to ensure operation within the safety range.
[0060] S4. Economic optimization and dynamic correction: within the safety boundary, an improved NSGA-II multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to take economic efficiency (coal consumption cost) and environmental protection (converted pollutant discharge) as the objective function, to generate a three-dimensional control matrix containing coal feeder speed setting, coal mill output distribution, and air-coal ratio adjustment, and to generate the optimal blending ratio; dynamic compensation correction is performed according to real-time operation data (such as load fluctuation, coal quality change) to adjust the blending strategy.
[0061] Among them, the coal type dynamic matching rules that need to be introduced include: high-sulfur coal and low-sulfur coal are matched according to sulfur balance, high-ash fusion point coal and low-ash fusion point coal are matched according to ash adhesion temperature characteristics, and the blending ratio of inferior coal is dynamically limited (single unit < 30%).
[0062] S5. Instruction issuance and execution: the optimized blending instruction is issued to the combustion system for execution to control the coal feeder, air volume, and other equipment, and precise blending is realized.
[0063] S6. Emission and efficiency monitoring: real-time monitoring of emission indicators (such as NOx, SO2 concentration) and combustion efficiency after combustion, and collection of actual operation data.
[0064] S7. Deviation analysis and feedback correction: deviation analysis of monitoring data and expected target;
[0065] When the key parameters of the detection data deviate from the preset threshold, trigger the rolling horizon optimization (RTO) to correct the strategy, the response time is less than 3 minutes;
[0066] The quadratic programming problem of rolling horizon optimization (RTO) is calculated as
[0067] ;
[0068] The constraint condition is: A u (t)≤b, u min ≤u(t)≤u max ;
[0069] Where, is the system state estimation value (such as furnace temperature, oxygen content) x * (t) is the reference trajectory (generated by MPC prediction); Q, R are state and control weight matrices; A, b are linear inequality constraint matrices (corresponding to equipment safety limits); u is the control variable (here it refers to the control instruction directly acting on the unit), u(t) is the actual control input at the current time (such as the coal feeder speed set value); u * (t) is the reference control input (such as the optimization result of the last time or the manual set value).
[0070] If the detection data is within the normal range, only update the historical database and maintain the current running state.
[0071] S8. Iterative update of knowledge base: machine learning training of the deviation between actual blending data and theoretical model, updating the coal quality-load-environmental protection characteristic database, accumulating typical working condition case library, forming the mapping relationship table of "working condition characteristics-optimal coal blending-control parameters"; generating blending economy analysis report regularly to guide the optimization of procurement decision.
[0072] The process of dynamic characteristic analysis is as follows:
[0073] (1) The received digitized data is input into the data fusion preprocessing module, and after cleaning, denoising, correction and standardization processing, high-quality data is obtained;
[0074] (2) These processed high-quality data are then sent to the multi-physical field coupling model for simulation calculation of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and chemical reaction kinetics;
[0075] (3) The simulation results are output in the form of combustion characteristics and transmitted to the transfer learning engine;
[0076] (4) The migration learning engine analyzes and processes these combustion features to generate a combustion feature matrix;
[0077] (5) The combustion feature matrix is sent to the dynamic safety boundary calculation module on one hand, which is used to calculate the safety operation boundary of the unit in real time and output safety constraint parameters; on the other hand, the combustion feature matrix is also sent to the real-time working condition prediction module, which is used to predict the future working condition of the unit and give optimization suggestion parameters;
[0078] (6) Both the safety constraint parameters and the optimization suggestion parameters are transmitted to the control system of the unit to realize self-adaptive optimization control of the combustion process of the thermal power unit.
[0079] Among them, the specific content of data fusion preprocessing is as follows:
[0080] Data fusion preprocessing is the starting step of the whole dynamic feature analysis, which is responsible for receiving raw data from various sensors of the thermal power unit (including laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy LIBS probe), including coal quality parameters, unit operation state parameters and environmental parameters.
[0081] The data fusion preprocessing module will clean, denoise, correct and standardize these raw data; cleaning is to remove outliers and error data in the data; denoising is to eliminate random noise interference in the data; correction is to correct possible system errors of the sensor; standardization is to unify different dimension and order of magnitude data to the same scale, which is convenient for subsequent analysis and processing.
[0082] The data quality after preprocessing is significantly improved, providing a reliable data basis for the subsequent multi-physical field coupling model, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the analysis results.
[0083] The multi-physical field coupling model is the core model of the dynamic analysis layer, including the thermodynamic simulation module, the fluid mechanics simulation module and the chemical reaction dynamics module; the multi-physical field coupling model considers multiple physical fields involved in the combustion process of the thermal power unit, including thermodynamic field, fluid mechanics field and chemical reaction dynamics field.
[0084] Among them, the thermodynamic simulation module is used to simulate the heat transfer phenomenon in the combustion process, such as the temperature distribution in the furnace, the heat enthalpy change of the flue gas, etc.; it can calculate the thermal efficiency of the unit under different working conditions, providing the basis for optimizing combustion from the thermodynamic aspect.
[0085] The fluid mechanics simulation module is used to simulate the flow characteristics of gases in the combustion chamber, including velocity field, pressure field and turbulence characteristics, etc.; it can predict possible flow instability phenomena in the combustion process, such as flame deflection, uneven combustion, etc., and provide guidance for optimizing the design and operating parameters of the combustor from the fluid mechanics aspect.
[0086] The chemical reaction kinetics module is used to simulate the combustion chemical reaction process of coal powder, including coal pyrolysis, gasification, oxidation and other reaction steps; it can calculate the combustion rate, combustion product composition and pollutant generation under different coal types and different working conditions, providing chemical kinetics basis for optimizing combustion ratio and reducing pollutant emissions.
[0087] The multi-physics coupling model organically combines the three modules, fully considering the interaction and coupling relationship between them; for example, the change of temperature field will affect the chemical reaction rate, and the flow of gas will affect the heat transfer; through the simulation of multi-physics coupling, the model can more truly reflect the complexity of the combustion process of thermal power units, and provide more accurate and comprehensive combustion feature information for the subsequent transfer learning engine.
[0088] The transfer learning engine takes the output of the multi-physics coupling model, i.e. the combustion feature information; the transfer learning engine uses the method of transfer learning to analyze and process these combustion features.
[0089] Transfer learning is a machine learning method, and the core idea of transfer learning is to transfer the knowledge learned from one task or field to another related task or field. In the scene of self-adaptive blending of thermal power units, the transfer learning engine can use the knowledge learned from historical data or data of similar units to speed up the learning and adaptation process of new units or new coal types.
[0090] The transfer learning engine extracts key features from the combustion features output by the multi-physics coupling model and uses these features to construct a combustion feature matrix.
[0091] The combustion feature matrix contains various information reflecting the state and performance of the combustion process, such as combustion stability, combustion efficiency, pollutant emission level, etc.
[0092] The dynamic safety boundary calculation module calculates the dynamic safety boundary of the unit operation based on the combustion feature matrix output by the transfer learning engine.
[0093] The operation of thermal power units is limited by various safety constraints, such as main steam temperature, pressure, furnace temperature, pollutant emission concentration, etc.; these safety constraints constitute the safety operation boundary of the unit.
[0094] The dynamic safety boundary calculation module dynamically adjusts and optimizes these safety boundaries according to the current combustion feature matrix; for example, when the coal quality changes, the module will recalculate the safety operation boundary of the unit under the current working condition according to the new coal quality parameters and combustion features, to ensure that the unit always operates within a safe and reliable range.
[0095] Finally, the dynamic security boundary calculation module outputs a series of security constraint parameters, which will be passed to the control system of the unit for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the unit's operating state, ensuring the safety and stability of the unit.
[0096] The real-time working condition prediction module also takes the combustion feature matrix output by the transfer learning engine as input. The real-time working condition prediction module predicts the real-time working condition of the thermal power unit and gives optimization suggestion parameters.
[0097] The real-time working condition prediction module uses historical data and the current combustion feature matrix to establish a prediction model of the unit's operating condition. It can predict the unit's operating state in the future, such as load trend, main parameter trend, etc.
[0098] Based on the prediction results, the real-time working condition prediction module gives optimization suggestion parameters, such as coal supply, air supply, and induced air supply. The optimization suggestion parameters aim to help operators adjust the unit's operating parameters in advance, so that the unit can better adapt to future working condition changes and improve the unit's operating efficiency and stability.
[0099] The optimization suggestion parameters are also passed to the control system of the unit as a reference for automatic control, realizing adaptive optimization operation of the unit.
[0100] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the detailed process of processing the spectral data is as follows:
[0101] 1) Obtain the original spectrum
[0102] LIBS technology focuses high-energy laser pulses on the surface of the coal sample to generate high-temperature plasma. During the cooling process of the plasma, specific wavelength light is emitted, which is captured by the spectrometer to form a LIBS spectrum. The LIBS spectrum contains the characteristic emission lines of elements in the coal and can be used for elemental composition analysis.
[0103] NIR technology uses a near-infrared spectrometer to irradiate the coal sample and measure its absorption, reflection, or scattering characteristics of near-infrared light to obtain an NIR spectrum. The NIR spectrum reflects the vibration and rotation information of organic components in the coal, such as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and can be used for rapid analysis of coal quality characteristics such as moisture, volatile matter, and fixed carbon.
[0104] 2) Wavelet denoising
[0105] Selecting appropriate wavelet basis function and decomposition level, the original spectral signal is decomposed into approximate coefficients and detail coefficients of different scales; noise is usually concentrated in high-frequency detail coefficients, and noise components are removed by threshold processing or soft and hard threshold method, and then the signal is reconstructed to realize denoising.
[0106] The noise in the spectral data is removed, the data quality is improved, and accurate data basis is provided for subsequent feature peak extraction and element composition analysis.
[0107] 3) Feature peak extraction
[0108] Feature peaks are extracted from the spectral data after wavelet denoising. For LIBS spectrum, the feature peaks correspond to the characteristic emission lines of elements in coal; for NIR spectrum, the feature peaks are related to the vibration and rotation modes of organic components in coal.
[0109] Feature peaks contain the composition information of coal, which is the key basis for subsequent element composition analysis and coal quality evaluation.
[0110] 4) Convolutional neural network processing
[0111] In spectral data processing, convolutional neural network CNN can be used for feature extraction, classification and regression tasks; the extracted feature peak data is input into CNN for deep analysis, and CNN can learn the complex relationship between feature peaks and coal quality characteristics, improve the accuracy of element composition analysis and coal quality evaluation.
[0112] 5) Element composition analysis
[0113] Through the processing of CNN, combined with the characteristic emission line information in LIBS spectrum, the element composition (such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, etc.) in coal can be determined; these element compositions are important indicators for evaluating coal quality and combustion characteristics; element composition analysis provides basic data for combustion characteristic evaluation of coal, which helps to optimize combustion process and improve combustion efficiency.
[0114] Through the above process, LIBS and NIR dual-mode online detection technology combined with wavelet denoising, feature peak extraction and convolutional neural network realizes accurate processing and analysis of spectral data of coal, and finally obtains the combustion characteristic matrix of coal, which provides strong support for clean and efficient utilization of coal.
[0115] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
