Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of boiler coal powder monitoring, and particularly relates to a boiler coal powder monitoring method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of coal powder combustion in a boiler, in order to effectively inhibit the generation of nitrogen oxides (NO X ), the coal powder concentration grading combustion technology is widely used in the industry, and the coal powder gas flow is divided into a dense coal powder area and a light coal powder area to realize the grading air supply: the dense coal powder area maintains stable ignition and reduces the local flame temperature by fuel-rich combustion, and the light coal powder area promotes the burnout by supplementing oxygen, thereby reducing the generation of thermal NO X . However, this grading method puts forward very high requirements for the matching of the coal powder concentration of the dense and light coal powder areas, the uniformity of the particle size distribution, and the air flow mixing effect. In actual operation, problems such as the fluctuation of the coal powder particle size distribution at the outlet of the coal mill, and the poor air flow mixing of the dense and light coal powder areas frequently occur, which easily leads to incomplete combustion caused by local oxygen deficiency in the dense coal powder area, and the difficulty in stable ignition of the light coal powder area due to the sparseness of the coal powder, not only causing the increase of the carbon content in fly ash and the significant decrease of the combustion efficiency, but also possibly causing safety hazards such as local slagging and high-temperature corrosion in the furnace, which seriously restricts the coordinated improvement of the safety and economy of the boiler and the environmental protection performance.

[0003] Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN102680370A discloses a coal powder concentration online monitoring system, which comprises a control cabinet and a measuring device. The measuring device is installed on the air pipe connected with the boiler, and the output end of the measuring device is connected with the control cabinet. The measuring device comprises a measuring probe and a differential pressure transmitter. The measuring probe comprises a primary air speed probe and a primary concentration probe installed on the primary air pipe, a secondary air speed probe and a secondary concentration probe installed on the secondary air pipe, and a tertiary air speed probe and a tertiary concentration probe installed on the tertiary air pipe. The measuring probe is connected with the differential pressure transmitter through a pressure transmission pipe. Through the above manner, the coal powder concentration online monitoring system has strong anti-interference ability, stable signal, and can accurately provide the air speed and the coal powder concentration of the boiler. The system has high sensitivity and reliability in response to the changes of the coal powder concentration and the air speed, high accuracy of the measured data, and wide application range.

[0004] The existing technology also has the following problems: in order to effectively inhibit the generation of nitrogen oxides, the coal powder concentration grading combustion technology is widely used in the existing technology. The emission of nitrogen oxides (mainly including NO, NO2, collectively referred to as NO X ) will cause serious harm to the environment, ecology and human health, and is also one of the pollutants strictly limited by global environmental protection regulations. There is a potential contradiction between the inhibition of NO X and the coal powder combustion efficiency. The core of the combustion efficiency is the full burnout of the fuel, which needs to meet three conditions of sufficient temperature, sufficient oxygen and sufficient mixing time, and the inhibition of NO XThe key is to control the combustion temperature and reduce the local oxygen concentration, so if the coal powder concentration grading combustion process is not monitored in real time and accurately adjusted, the combustion efficiency of the coal powder will be lower.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the beneficial effects that the present application determines whether the original separation mode of the pulverized coal separator is qualified by monitoring the particle size distribution of the pulverized coal in the pulverized coal outlet pipe of the coal mill in real time to determine whether the initial particle size distribution of the pulverized coal in the pulverized coal outlet pipe of the coal mill is uniform, and the concentration of the dense and light pulverized coal zones is qualified, the core principle of the pulverized coal separator in distinguishing the dense and light pulverized coal zones is to use the centrifugal force, inertial force or gravity difference of the airflow to make the pulverized coal particles of different concentrations form zones in the flow field, if the initial particle size distribution is uniform, most of the particles have similar particle sizes, the centrifugal force and airflow resistance difference in the separator is small, and the motion trajectory is more consistent, the fine particles will be more concentratedly carried by the airflow to the dense pulverized coal zone, the coarse particles will be separated in proportion, the concentration of the dense pulverized coal zone is high and stable, the concentration of the light pulverized coal zone is low and uniform, and the dense and light zones are clearly distinguished, if the initial particle size distribution is not uniform, the particle size difference is large, the large particles have large inertia and are easy to deviate from the airflow trajectory due to the influence of gravity, and the small particles flow freely with the airflow, at this time, part of the coarse particles may mix into the dense pulverized coal zone due to ineffective separation, or the fine particles may be brought into the light pulverized coal zone due to airflow disturbance, resulting in dilution of the concentration of the dense pulverized coal zone and abnormal increase of the concentration of the light pulverized coal zone, and the dense and light zones are blurred. X The generated oxygen-enriched high-temperature condition is more easily met, resulting in an increase in the emission of NO X , and the uniform mixing may increase the overall temperature of the combustion area without obvious low-oxygen cooling area, further promoting the production of NO X , especially when the excess air coefficient is high, the risk of NO X emission is significantly increased, therefore, according to the particle size distribution of the pulverized coal, it is determined whether to adjust the pulverized coal separator to increase the concentration difference between the dense and light zones and to accurately adjust the subsequent combustion process, so as to effectively inhibit the generation of nitrogen oxides while ensuring the combustion efficiency.

[0047] Further, the present application determines whether the airflow mixing is qualified by the interval of the ignition of the dense and light pulverized coal phases in the furnace, the key of the dense and light staged combustion is to make the dense pulverized coal phase burn first to create a low-oxygen reducing environment to inhibit the production of NO X , and the light pulverized coal phase burns out to supplement the combustion in the oxygen-enriched environment, the timing cooperation realizes the inhibition of NO Xdual objectives of guaranteeing efficiency. The ignition interval directly reflects whether the mixing time of the two is appropriate, if the interval is within a reasonable range, it means that the dense coal powder phase completes the preliminary combustion in a low oxygen environment, and then the lean coal powder phase mixes timely to supplement oxygen, so as to realize full burnout and qualified mixing state; if the interval is too short, it means that the dense coal powder phase and the lean coal powder phase mix too early, the low-oxygen reducing environment of the dense coal powder phase is destroyed, which may lead to local oxygen-rich high temperature, and promote the generation of thermal NO X , at the same time, the concentrated heat release of the coal powder combustion is easy to cause local temperature to be too high, deviating from the temperature control target of staged combustion; if the interval is too long, it means that the mixing of the two is delayed, the lean coal powder phase fails to supplement in time after the dense coal powder phase burns, which may lead to insufficient combustion of the dense coal powder phase due to lack of oxygen, or the lean coal powder phase burns in the rear part of the furnace, causing heat not to be fully utilized, and at the same time, may cause unburned loss due to insufficient combustion time, therefore, according to the ignition interval, it is determined whether the airflow mixing is qualified, and the air velocity of the secondary air is adjusted in time to correct the influence caused by unqualified airflow mixing, so as to effectively inhibit the generation of nitrogen oxides while guaranteeing the combustion efficiency.

Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 1-4 as shown in the figure, Figure 1 is a flow chart of the boiler coal powder monitoring method of the embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a flow chart of determining the particle size distribution characteristic value of the embodiment of the present application; Figure 3A flow chart for determining whether the separation mode of the pulverized coal separator is qualified for the embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 A flow chart for determining whether the airflow mixing of the dense and light pulverized coal phases is qualified for the embodiment of the present application.

[0055] The boiler pulverized coal monitoring method of the embodiment of the present application comprises:

[0056] Step S1, a particle size distribution representation value of the pulverized coal in the outlet pulverized coal pipe of the coal mill is acquired, and whether the separation mode of the pulverized coal separator is qualified is determined based on a comparison result of the particle size distribution representation value and a preset distribution representation value;

[0057] Step S2, under the condition that the separation mode of the pulverized coal separator is determined to be unqualified, the guide vane angle of the pulverized coal separator is adjusted according to the radial flow velocity difference value of the outlet pulverized coal pipe of the coal mill;

[0058] Step S3, under the condition that the separation mode of the pulverized coal separator is determined to be qualified, the fire interval of the dense and light pulverized coal phases in the furnace is determined, and whether the airflow mixing of the dense and light pulverized coal phases is qualified is determined based on the fire interval;

[0059] Step S4, under the condition that the airflow mixing effect is determined to be unqualified, a plurality of air velocity adjustment coefficients are set according to a uniformity representation value of the temperature gradient distribution of the furnace to adjust the air velocity of the secondary air, and the air velocity adjustment coefficients are optimized according to a flame shape representation value in the furnace;

[0060] Step S5, a combustion efficiency curve of the pulverized coal is constructed, and the preset distribution representation value is optimized according to the fluctuation intensity of the combustion efficiency curve.

[0061] It can be understood that, in the process of the pulverized coal combustion, the reason why the concentration grading combustion mode of the dense and light pulverized coal zones can inhibit the generation of nitrogen oxides lies in that the pulverized coal concentration in the dense pulverized coal zone is high, and the air supply is relatively insufficient, which is in an oxygen-deficient or low-oxygen environment. The oxygen-deficient condition can reduce the peak value of the combustion temperature, and the thermal NOx X is generated in an exponential relationship with the combustion temperature. Generally, high temperature exceeding 1500℃ can promote the reaction of N2 and O2 in the air to generate NOx X . The low-oxygen combustion in the dense pulverized coal zone can avoid local super-high temperature, thereby reducing the generation of thermal NOx X . Meanwhile, the pulverized coal particles are dense in the dense pulverized coal zone, and the nitrogen elements in the fuel are more likely to react with the reducing components such as carbon and hydrogen in the pulverized coal to generate N2 and other harmless gases, rather than being oxidized into NOx X . The low-oxygen environment inhibits the conversion of the fuel nitrogen into NOx X , and enhances the conversion of NOx XThe reduction reaction of NOx; while the light pulverized coal zone realizes sufficient combustion and reduces the secondary generation. The pulverized coal concentration in the light pulverized coal zone is low, and the air supply is sufficient. The main role is to let the incomplete combustion of pulverized coal burn out further, avoid the decline of combustion efficiency due to overall hypoxia, but due to the small amount of pulverized coal in the light pulverized coal zone, even if the air is sufficient, the local temperature will not be too high, and at this time the fuel nitrogen has completed the main conversion in the dense pulverized coal zone, so it will not significantly increase the secondary generation of NO X At the same time, the oxygen-rich environment of the light pulverized coal zone can supplement the oxygen required for combustion, ensure the overall combustion efficiency, and avoid the unburned loss caused by hypoxia in the dense pulverized coal zone, so that the pulverized coal combustion according to the concentration grading combustion mode can inhibit the generation of nitrogen oxides while ensuring the combustion efficiency of pulverized coal.

[0062] Specifically, in the step S1, the determination process of the particle size distribution characteristic value includes:

[0063] Step S11, using a light scattering instrument to establish a particle size distribution histogram of the pulverized coal in the coal mill outlet pulverized coal pipe;

[0064] Step S12, connecting the upper edge midpoint position of any straight block to form a particle size distribution curve;

[0065] Step S13, aligning the particle size distribution curve with the standard distribution curve with the horizontal coordinate scale as the reference to coincide;

[0066] Step S14, determining the ratio of the overlapping area of the particle size distribution curve and the standard distribution curve to the area surrounded by the standard distribution curve and the coordinate axis as the particle size distribution characteristic value.

[0067] Specifically, the model of the light scattering instrument is not limited, as long as it meets the requirement of online detection of the particle size distribution of the coal in the coal pipe.

[0068] It can be understood that the standard distribution curve refers to the coal particle size distribution reference curve that can ensure the optimal separation effect of the coal separator and meet the subsequent dense and light grading combustion requirements under the normal operation condition of the boiler.

[0069] Specifically, the process of determining whether the separation mode of the coal separator is qualified based on the particle size distribution characteristic value includes:

[0070] Comparing the particle size distribution characteristic value with the preset distribution characteristic value;

[0071] Based on the comparison result that the particle size distribution characteristic value is less than the preset distribution characteristic value, it is determined that the separation mode of the coal separator is unqualified;

[0072] Based on the comparison result that the particle size distribution characteristic value is greater than or equal to the preset distribution characteristic value, it is determined that the separation mode of the coal separator is qualified.

[0073] Specifically, the preset distribution table value range is set to [0.7, 0.8], and the embodiment of the application preferably 0.75.

[0074] Specifically, the determination process of the radial flow rate difference value includes:

[0075] The cross section of the coal mill outlet pulverized coal pipe is divided into a plurality of concentric circles with the geometric center as the reference point and a preset distance as the interval, and a plurality of flow rates of a plurality of concentric circles are determined.

[0076] The difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the plurality of flow rates is determined as the radial flow rate difference value.

[0077] Specifically, the pulverized coal is transported in the pipeline by airflow, the inertia of large particle pulverized coal is large, and it is less affected by airflow drag, and it is more difficult to follow the airflow to turn. In the rotating airflow in the pulverized coal pipe, large particles are easily thrown to the vicinity of the inner wall of the pipeline due to centrifugal force, forming a high-concentration coarse particle aggregation in the edge area. Small particle pulverized coal has small inertia and good flowability, and is more likely to move with the main airflow, and tends to concentrate in the central area of the pipeline, forming a high-concentration fine particle aggregation in the central area. The particles in the edge coarse particle area frequently collide and rub, and the resistance effect of the particles on the airflow is enhanced, resulting in an increase in local airflow resistance. According to the momentum conservation of fluid mechanics, under the same pressure drop condition, the increase in resistance will reduce the flow rate in the area. The resistance of the central fine particle area is small, and the flow rate will correspondingly increase. Therefore, uneven distribution of pulverized coal particles will cause radial flow rate deviation.

[0078] Specifically, the preset distance is determined according to the pipe diameter of the coal mill outlet pulverized coal pipe. For example, if the diameter of the coal mill outlet pulverized coal pipe is 50 cm, the preset distance can be set to 5 cm, and 5 concentric circles will be formed with the geometric center of the pulverized coal pipe as the reference point. The flow rates at multiple point positions in the same concentric circle are uniformly taken, and the average value of the multiple point flow rates is determined as the flow rate of the concentric circle.

[0079] Specifically, the process of adjusting the guide vane angle of the pulverized coal separator based on the radial flow rate difference value includes:

[0080] Comparing the radial flow rate difference value with a preset flow rate difference value;

[0081] Based on the comparison result of the radial flow rate difference value and the preset flow rate difference value, a plurality of angle adjustment coefficients are set, and the guide vane angle is reduced based on the plurality of angle adjustment coefficients.

[0082] Specifically, based on the comparison result that the radial flow rate difference value is less than the preset flow rate difference value, it is determined to reduce the guide vane angle by a first angle adjustment coefficient;

[0083] determining to decrease the guide vane angle by a second angle adjustment coefficient based on a comparison result of the radial flow rate difference being greater than or equal to the preset flow rate difference.

[0084] Specifically, the preset flow rate difference is set to [1.5 m / s, 3 m / s], and the embodiment of the present application is preferably 2 m / s, the second angle adjustment coefficient is set to [0.92, 0.96], and the embodiment of the present application is preferably 0.94, and the first angle adjustment coefficient is set to [0.97, 0.99], and the embodiment of the present application is preferably 0.98.

[0085] It can be understood that the radial flow rate difference reflects the uniformity of the flow rate at different radial positions on the cross section of the coal mill outlet pulverized coal pipe, and the smaller the difference is, the more uniform the radial distribution of the coal powder gas flow in the pipe is, and the larger the difference is, the more turbulent the flow rate distribution is. This non-uniform flow rate directly leads to the segregation of coal particles in the pipe, for example, the coal concentration is low in the area with high flow rate, and the coal accumulates in the area with low flow rate, thereby causing the imbalance of coal concentration in the thick and thin coal powder area in the subsequent furnace, and thereby affecting the combustion efficiency and NO X suppression effect, when the radial flow rate difference is too large, the uniformity of the gas flow at the outlet of the separator needs to be optimized by adjusting the blade angle, so that the concentration of the thick and thin coal powder area of the coal powder separated from the coal powder separator is balanced.

[0086] Specifically, the process of determining whether the gas flow mixing of the thick coal powder phase and the thin coal powder phase is qualified based on the ignition interval includes:

[0087] comparing the ignition interval with a preset time length respectively;

[0088] determining that the gas flow mixing of the thick coal powder phase and the thin coal powder phase is unqualified based on a comparison result that the ignition interval is less than a first preset time length or greater than a second preset time length;

[0089] determining that the gas flow mixing of the thick coal powder phase and the thin coal powder phase is qualified based on a comparison result that the ignition interval is greater than or equal to the first preset time length and less than or equal to the second preset time length.

[0090] Specifically, the determination of the ignition interval can be achieved by installing infrared / ultraviolet composite detectors in the water-cooled wall area corresponding to the injection ports of the burner thick coal powder area and the thin coal powder area, respectively, to accurately capture the radiation signal mutation at the ignition moment through the difference in radiation spectrum. The collected signals are processed using an algorithm (such as Bayesian criterion) to output the ignition interval, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0091] Specifically, the value range of the first preset time length is set as [0.5s, 1s], and the embodiment of the application preferably 0.5s, and the value range of the second preset time length is set as [1.1s, 2s], and the embodiment of the application preferably 1.5s.

[0092] Specifically, under the condition of determining that the gas flow mixing is unqualified, the process of adjusting the air speed of the secondary air according to the uniformity characteristic value includes:

[0093] Obtain image information of the furnace, and determine a plurality of temperature distribution gradients and corresponding temperature distribution ranges in the furnace after pre-processing the image information;

[0094] Determine the coincidence degree of any temperature distribution range and the corresponding standard temperature distribution range;

[0095] Determine the ratio of the number of temperature distribution gradients with the coincidence degree greater than or equal to the preset coincidence degree to the total number of temperature distribution gradients as the uniformity characteristic value;

[0096] Compare the uniformity characteristic value with a preset characteristic value;

[0097] Set a plurality of air speed adjustment coefficients based on the comparison result of the uniformity characteristic value and the preset characteristic value, and adjust the air speed of the secondary air based on the plurality of air speed adjustment coefficients.

[0098] Specifically, the air speed of the secondary air is increased by a first air speed adjustment coefficient based on the comparison result that the uniformity characteristic value is less than a first preset characteristic value;

[0099] The air speed of the secondary air is increased by a second air speed adjustment coefficient based on the comparison result that the uniformity characteristic value is greater than or equal to the first preset characteristic value and less than a second preset characteristic value.

[0100] Specifically, when the pulverized coal combustion adopts a concentration grading method, the temperature distribution in the furnace under stable operation conditions presents a local high temperature and gradient distribution, the dense phase coal powder injection area is the main ignition and combustion core area, the dense phase coal powder area has high coal powder concentration, short ignition delay, and high combustion intensity, forming a local high temperature core area, the dilute phase coal powder area has low coal powder concentration and high primary air ratio, the ignition lags behind the dense phase, the combustion intensity is relatively moderate, and the temperature is lower than that of the dense phase core area but higher than that of the low temperature area at the tail of the furnace. The temperature presents a smooth gradient decrease from the dense phase core area to the outside, and the standard temperature distribution range refers to the reasonable interval range of the temperature of each area in the furnace under the conditions of the boiler design coal, rated load, and stable operation conditions, which can ensure the combustion efficiency, equipment safety, and environmental protection emission standards.

[0101] Specifically, in the pulverized coal combustion, especially in the concentration staged combustion, the core role of the secondary air is to provide oxygen required for combustion, to strengthen air flow disturbance and mixing, and the air speed directly affects the uniformity of the contact between the pulverized coal and the air. When the air flow mixing is unqualified, the stratification phenomenon of the over-concentration of pulverized coal in the dense pulverized coal area and the excess air in the light pulverized coal area is easy to form in the furnace. After the air speed of the secondary air is increased, the momentum carried by the secondary air is increased, the secondary air can penetrate the boundary layer of the pulverized coal air flow formed by the primary air, the turbulent disturbance is enhanced, the pulverized coal in the dense pulverized coal area is diffused to the light pulverized coal area, and the air in the light pulverized coal area is penetrated to the dense pulverized coal area, so that the state of local concentration unevenness is broken. At the same time, the pulverized coal combustion needs continuous oxygen supply. When the mixing is unqualified, the combustion is incomplete due to the lack of oxygen in the dense pulverized coal area, and the temperature is low due to the lack of pulverized coal in the light pulverized coal area. Increasing the air speed of the secondary air can speed up the oxygen delivery speed to the pulverized coal concentration area, reduce the oxygen deficiency lag in the dense pulverized coal area, promote the circulation of high-temperature flue gas, and improve the temperature level of the light pulverized coal area, so that the combustion reaction is more uniform. However, the air speed of the secondary air is not the higher the better. Too high air speed of the secondary air may cause the flame to be blown away, so that the ignition stability is reduced. Therefore, the air speed adjustment coefficient needs to be optimized according to the flame shape characteristic value to prevent the increase range of the air speed from being too large.

[0102] Specifically, the preset coincidence degree is set to [65%, 80%], and the embodiment of the present application preferably 70%.

[0103] Specifically, the first preset characteristic value is set to [0.6, 0.7], and the embodiment of the present application preferably 0.65. The second preset characteristic value is set to [0.71, 0.85], and the embodiment of the present application preferably 0.75. The first air speed adjustment coefficient is set to [1.3, 1.5], and the embodiment of the present application preferably 1.4. The second air speed adjustment coefficient is set to [1.1, 1.29], and the embodiment of the present application preferably 1.2.

[0104] Specifically, the process of optimizing the air speed adjustment coefficient according to the flame shape characteristic value in the furnace includes:

[0105] The flame shape characteristic value is compared with the preset shape characteristic value respectively;

[0106] Based on the comparison result that the flame shape characteristic value is less than the first preset shape characteristic value, the first air speed optimization coefficient is used to reduce the air speed adjustment coefficient;

[0107] Based on the comparison result that the flame shape characteristic value is greater than the second preset shape characteristic value, the second air speed optimization coefficient is used to increase the air speed adjustment coefficient.

[0108] Specifically, the flame shape characteristic value refers to the flame length, and the determination of the flame length is determined according to image information using an image algorithm, which is prior art and will not be described herein. It can be understood that good mixing of the thick and thin pulverized coal zones will make the flame length moderate, without washing the water-cooled wall and with clear profile without deflection. If the mixing is too slow, the flame will be elongated and the tail will be red, and the secondary air speed needs to be increased. If the mixing is too fast, the flame is too short and the root is unstable, and the secondary air speed needs to be reduced.

[0109] Specifically, the values of the preset shape characteristic parameters are related to the height of the furnace. For example, for a furnace with a height of 4m-8m, the value range of the first preset shape characteristic parameter is set to [2m, 3m], and the value of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 2m. The value range of the second preset shape characteristic parameter is set to [3.1m, 6m], and the value of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 6m. For a furnace with a height of about 20m-30m, the value range of the first preset shape characteristic parameter is set to [8m, 11m], and the value of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 10m. The value range of the second preset shape characteristic parameter is set to [17m, 20m], and the value of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 18m. For a furnace with a height of about 30m-40m, the value range of the first preset shape characteristic parameter is set to [13m, 16m], and the value of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 14m. The value range of the second preset shape characteristic parameter is set to [21m, 24m], and the value of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 22m, which is not specifically limited.

[0110] Specifically, the value range of the first wind speed optimization coefficient is set to [0.8, 0.9], and the value of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 0.85. The value range of the second wind speed optimization coefficient is set to [1.1, 1.2], and the value of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 1.15.

[0111] Specifically, the determination process of the fluctuation intensity of the combustion efficiency curve includes:

[0112] Based on the combustion efficiency curve, a plurality of points with combustion efficiency lower than the preset efficiency are determined.

[0113] A plurality of distances of any of the points relative to the straight line where the preset efficiency is located are determined.

[0114] The standard deviation of a plurality of the distances is determined as the fluctuation intensity.

[0115] Specifically, the value of the preset efficiency is 95%, and it can be understood that the preset efficiency is a straight line parallel to the horizontal coordinate axis with a vertical coordinate value of 95% on the combustion efficiency curve. A plurality of points on the combustion efficiency curve below the straight line can be determined, the distance of any point to the straight line along the vertical coordinate axis is determined, and the standard deviation of a plurality of the distances is determined as the fluctuation intensity.

[0116] Specifically, the process of optimizing the preset distribution characteristic value based on the fluctuation intensity comprises:

[0117] comparing the fluctuation intensity with a preset intensity;

[0118] setting a plurality of characteristic value optimization coefficients based on the comparison result of the fluctuation intensity and the preset intensity, so as to increase the preset distribution characteristic value based on the plurality of characteristic value optimization coefficients.

[0119] Specifically, the process of optimizing the preset distribution characteristic value based on the comparison result that the fluctuation intensity is greater than the preset intensity comprises:

[0120] the process of increasing the preset distribution characteristic value by the first characteristic value optimization coefficient based on the comparison result that the fluctuation intensity difference between the fluctuation intensity and the preset intensity is greater than a preset difference;

[0121] the process of increasing the preset distribution characteristic value by the second characteristic value optimization coefficient based on the comparison result that the fluctuation intensity difference is less than or equal to the preset difference.

[0122] It can be understood that the fluctuation intensity of the combustion efficiency curve reflects the stability of the combustion process, the greater the fluctuation intensity, the higher the dispersion degree of the combustion efficiency with time, and the worse the combustion stability, and the preset distribution characteristic value is one of the core factors affecting the combustion stability, and the uniformity of the coal powder particle size distribution directly determines the consistency of the combustion reaction, when the particle size is uniform, the ignition and combustion rate of the coal powder particles are more synchronous, the heat release and burnout degree are more stable, the fluctuation of the combustion efficiency curve is small, and if the particle size distribution is not uniform, it means that the preset distribution characteristic value is too low, which will lead to too coarse or too fine coal powder particles in local area, and then cause the violent fluctuation of the combustion efficiency. Therefore, when the fluctuation intensity is too large, the preset distribution characteristic value needs to be increased to improve the requirement for the uniformity of the particle size, improve the consistency of the coal powder particle size distribution, and reduce the fluctuation of the combustion efficiency from the root to improve the combustion stability.

[0123] Specifically, the preset intensity is set to [0.2cm, 0.5cm], and the preset intensity of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 0.3cm, the preset difference is set to [0.1cm, 0.3cm], and the preset difference of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 0.2cm, the first characteristic value optimization coefficient is set to [1.11, 1.15], and the first characteristic value optimization coefficient of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 1.12, and the second characteristic value optimization coefficient is set to [1.05, 1.1], and the second characteristic value optimization coefficient of the embodiment of the present application is preferably 1.07.

[0124] The technical scheme of the present application has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without departing from the principles of the present application, and the technical schemes after the changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
