Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of industrial intelligent monitoring, and particularly relates to a power plant operation risk intelligent early warning method based on deep learning. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, as a basic energy unit in the power system of China, the safe and stable operation of the power plant is of great significance to the guarantee of power supply and energy scheduling. With the large-scale of thermal power units and the automation of control systems, the data types involved in the operation of the power plant are increasingly complex, covering temperature, pressure, speed, current and control signals and other multi-source working condition variables. Traditional operation risk early warning methods are mostly based on rule-based reasoning, expert systems or shallow machine learning models such as support vector machines, decision trees and random forests, and their core relies on artificially defined feature variables and fixed mode risk identification logic. However, with the increasing non-linear coupling of the operation state and the frequent changes in the dynamic correlation between devices, the traditional methods have gradually exposed their limitations in processing high-dimensional time series data, multi-modal information fusion and fault attribution.

[0003] Some studies attempt to introduce deep neural networks to model the operation data of the power plant, but conventional feedforward neural networks or convolutional networks often face two problems. On the one hand, there is a lack of effective feature reversible modeling mechanism, resulting in uncontrollable information loss after multi-layer processing of input information, affecting the accuracy of risk discrimination; on the other hand, most existing models focus on single modal or unified structure extraction, making it difficult to set exclusive processing paths for different types of operation data (such as sensor values and discrete control signals), causing distortion in modal information fusion. In addition, for residual risk indicators, most existing methods use direct comparison or moving average methods, lack a credibility evaluation mechanism and an explainable analysis path for key factors, which is not conducive to actual fault location and intelligent decision support.

[0004] Therefore, the existing power plant operation risk early warning technology still has the following main defects: first, the modeling capability for multi-modal operation data is insufficient, making it difficult to accurately extract the deep interaction between heterogeneous features; second, there is a lack of reversible feature extraction mechanism, the reconstruction capability is weak, and the information retention degree cannot be quantified; third, there is a lack of time dynamic-oriented residual adjustment and scoring mechanism, and the risk judgment result is not stable and robust; fourth, there is a lack of explainable risk attribution method combined with residual mechanism, which cannot output a reliable key factor ranking result, affecting the reliability of the downstream disposal response.

[0142] Example 1

[0143] To verify the feasibility of the application in implementation, the application is applied to a typical coal-fired power plant in East China with a installed capacity of 2x600MW, which is in a high load operation state for a long time, and is equipped with SCADA and DCS control systems, and has complete multi-source operation data acquisition capability. The plant feedbacks that the existing alarm system based on static threshold has problems such as response delay and key factor positioning. Especially during the night shift period, the abnormal judgment ability of the on-duty personnel is limited, resulting in frequent false positives and false negatives.

[0144] In the implementation process of the application, the system collects five types of key operation data: temperature (T), pressure (P), speed (S), current (I) and control signal (C) through industrial protocol. The data sampling frequency is 1 time / minute, and a 60-minute sliding window is used to construct the time series input. The input multi-modal deep network has a model structure including five modal sub-networks, each of which integrates a reversible residual structure, and introduces a dynamic residual scaling mechanism and a time gating mechanism in the residual path. Each type of modal feature is input into the reversible mapping structure after independent extraction, fused, compressed by forward transformation, and the intermediate state is recorded. The residual matrix of the predicted sequence and the real input sequence is obtained by backward reconstruction. The system uses a sliding time window to aggregate the residual to generate a risk score sequence, and judges the risk level according to the score and the set threshold. At the same time, the key influencing factor sorting result is output through the attribution module.

[0145] In the process of system deployment, the data of multiple key events are recorded. For example, on April 3, 2024, the system detected an anomaly in the main cylinder area, with a risk score peak of 0.83, and the model successfully issued a warning 26 minutes before the anomaly occurred. The risk score of this event increased significantly, and the model timely identified the problem, and according to the different input features, the corresponding factor sorting was output, helping the operator to quickly locate the abnormal source. Specifically, the main cylinder pressure P3, the main feed water current I5 and the reheat temperature T8 become the most important influencing factors, accounting for 38%, 27% and 18% respectively. In this event, the accurate warning of the system provides timely response time for the operator, successfully avoiding the shutdown loss caused by abnormal development.

[0146] Table 1 is the key event data collected during the actual deployment of the system, which reflects the effectiveness of the model warning of the application. The data in the table reflects the specific abnormal events detected by the system, and shows the risk score peak, the warning advance time and the actual impact duration:

[0147] Table 1 Abnormal event and model response data

[0148]

[0149] The data in the above table shows 6 typical abnormal events and the response effect of the system. In the main cylinder abnormal event on April 3, 2024, the system issued a warning 26 minutes before the abnormality occurred, with a risk score peak of 0.83, indicating that the event was of high severity. At this point in time, the model successfully identified "main cylinder pressure P3" as the main factor and further optimized the warning effect through dynamic adjustment of the response. The actual impact duration was 90 minutes, indicating that although the event lasted for a long time, the timely warning enabled the plant to take effective measures to avoid serious losses.

[0150] In addition, other events in the table also reflect the warning capability of the method of the present application under different working conditions. For example, the superheater over-temperature event on April 22, 2024, the system issued a warning 31 minutes in advance, timely capturing the temperature change of the superheater, avoiding equipment failure caused by overheating, and through the key factor attribution analysis of the system, the plant was able to accurately locate the root cause of the temperature change, greatly reducing the impact of the failure.
