Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal power generation technology, specifically to an intelligent control system and method for power plant combustion power generation. Background Technology

[0002] With industrial development and the continuous growth of electricity demand, improving the operating efficiency and economy of thermal power plants has become an important issue for the power industry. Traditional boiler combustion control mainly relies on the operator's experience and simple feedback control, which is difficult to adapt to the complex operating conditions caused by coal quality fluctuations and load changes.

[0003] Generalized Regressive Neural Networks (GRNNs) are neural network models based on nonparametric regression. Trained on sample data, they establish a nonlinear mapping relationship between input and output variables. GRNN models are simple in structure, train quickly, and possess good generalization ability, and have been successfully applied in multiple fields. Applying GRNNs to combustion power generation control can accurately predict power generation performance based on real-time collected combustion control parameters, coal quality parameters, and power generation data, providing reliable model support for optimized control.

[0004] On the other hand, power plant load forecasting is a crucial aspect of power dispatch and operation optimization. Accurately predicting future electricity demand is essential for rationally allocating generating capacity, reducing reserve capacity, and improving economic efficiency. Traditional load forecasting methods, primarily based on statistical models and expert experience, struggle to adapt to the nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics of loads. In recent years, deep learning technology has made significant progress in time series forecasting. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks, a special type of recurrent neural network, can effectively learn and store long-term dependency information through the introduction of gating mechanisms, offering unique advantages in modeling and predicting time-series data. Applying LSTM to power plant load forecasting can fully leverage the temporal characteristics and external influencing factors (such as weather conditions) within load data, enabling accurate predictions of future electricity demand.

[0005] Boiler combustion control and load forecasting in thermal power plants are key issues for improving the efficiency and economy of power system operation. Applying advanced artificial intelligence technologies, such as generalized regression neural networks and long short-term memory neural networks, to boiler combustion power generation control and power plant load forecasting can significantly improve the system's intelligence level and optimization performance.
