Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a monitoring IoT control platform, specifically a monitoring IoT control platform based on a chemical production system. Background Technology

[0002] Chemical production systems are characterized by strong nonlinearity, multivariable coupling, and high risk. Their monitoring and control technologies face the following core challenges:

[0003] 1. Limitations of Traditional Data Acquisition and Processing Technologies: Existing sensor networks mostly employ a centralized architecture, which is difficult to adapt to the multi-zone monitoring needs of large reactors. Data synchronization errors (typically >5%) lead to inaccurate verification of mass conservation (such as the density field reconstruction deviation mentioned in patent CN1123456A), and noise interference (mechanical vibration, electromagnetic interference) reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of key parameters (such as free radical concentration) to below 20dB, severely affecting the reliability of anomaly detection. In addition, the transmission bandwidth requirements of high-dimensional data (time-series data of multiple parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate) often exceed 200Mbps, which is difficult for existing edge computing nodes to achieve in real-time compression (Reference J. Process Control, 2021, 89:76-85).

[0004] 2. Insufficient adaptability and stability of control algorithms: The time-varying characteristics of chemical reaction processes (such as the exothermic abrupt changes in polymerization reactions) render traditional integer-order PID controllers (such as patented...) ineffective.

[0005] US2018009512A1) exhibits overshoot (>15%) and oscillations during setpoint tracking, requiring frequent manual intervention. The literature IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron. (2022, 69(3): 2876-2885) points out that the settling time of traditional PID in nonlinear systems is extended by 40%-60%, and it lacks the ability to model fractional-order dynamics (such as the non-integer-order differential characteristics of diffusion processes).

[0006] 3. The Conflict Between Dimensionality and Efficiency in Multi-Objective Optimization: Existing optimization methods (such as single-objective model predictive control) struggle to balance conflicting objectives of energy consumption, yield, and safety. For example, an ethylene cracking unit needs to maximize ethylene yield under temperature fluctuation (±5℃) constraints, but the traditional weight allocation method (patent CN114567892A) can only achieve local optima, and the calculation time exceeds 10 minutes (data volume on the order of 10^4 variables), failing to meet real-time decision-making requirements. Furthermore, safety risk models often rely on empirical thresholds (such as fixed pressure alarm values), ignoring dynamic changes in the gradient field (see Chem. Eng. Sci., 2020, 214:115422).

[0007] 4. The Dilemma of Balancing Communication Resources and Reliability In the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), fixed bandwidth allocation protocols (such as TDMA) suffer from severe channel fading (bit error rate > 10^-3) in chemical environments, resulting in control command transmission delays as high as 1.2 seconds (see IEEE IoT J., 2023, 10(2): 1567-1582). Meanwhile, existing compression algorithms (such as PCA) retain less than 70% of tensor-type process data, requiring repeated transmission of the original data and exacerbating network congestion.

[0008] 5. Lack of Predictive Capabilities in Equipment Health Management: Mainstream Remaining Life (RUL) prediction models (such as the Wiener process) do not consider the thermo-mechanical coupling degradation mechanism of chemical equipment, and their sensitivity analysis errors for key parameters such as activation energy (E_a) exceed 25% (Reliab. Eng. Syst. Saf., 2022, 219:108245). Furthermore, traditional maintenance strategies rely on scheduled inspections, resulting in unplanned downtime losses accounting for up to 35% (industry survey data).

[0009] Technological evolution bottlenecks, despite attempts to improve existing technologies in the following ways:

[0010] Multi-sensor fusion (patent CN113670512A) is used to improve data accuracy;

[0011] Introducing fuzzy PID (see ISA Trans., 2021, 112: 230-239) improves control robustness;

[0012] Develop lightweight communication protocols (such as MQTT-SN) to reduce transmission load.

[0013] However, the above solutions still have inherent defects such as asynchronous multi-source data, single control dimension, fragmented optimization objectives, and rigid resource allocation, which cannot meet the integrated requirements of intelligent chemical manufacturing for "high-precision perception, low-latency decision-making, adaptive control and full-cycle maintenance". Summary of the Invention

[0046] As an improvement, the system adopts the Lyapunov stability criterion:

[0047]

[0048] Used to ensure the global asymptotic stability of the control system.

[0049] As an improvement, the system includes a fault prediction module with a remaining useful life (RUL) prediction model as follows:

[0050]

[0052] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0055] Multi-objective collaborative optimization: The improved NSGA-II algorithm (claim 1, Equation 5) combined with the safety risk function (claim 4, Equation 6) achieves the Pareto optimal solution for energy consumption, yield, and safety. In a certain ethylene production case, energy consumption was reduced by 17.3%, product purity increased by 6.8%, and the safety risk value decreased by 89%.

[0056] Real-time anomaly detection and rapid response: Anomaly discrimination based on Mahalanobis distance (claim 5, Equation 8) is linked with the emergency pressure relief mechanism, reducing the average alarm delay from 2.3s in the traditional system to 0.4s, and the false alarm rate is less than 0.1% (statistics based on 100,000 hours of operation data).

[0057] Long-term stability assurance: The combination of the material conservation verification module (claim 8, Equation 10) and the fault prediction model (claim 10, Equation 12) extends the mean time between failures (MTBF) of the equipment from 4,500 hours to 8,200 hours and reduces maintenance costs by 62%.
