Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of data processing technology, and in particular to an emission control method and apparatus, electronic equipment and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology is a core means for thermal power units to achieve ultra-low emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and is widely used in the flue gas denitrification system of coal-fired power plants.

Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
[0048] The emission control method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0049] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an emission control method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0051] Step 101: Obtain the average emission value output by the concentration prediction model;
[0052] In the process of denitrification control of thermal power units, SCR systems often face problems such as delayed NOx concentration measurement, frequent concentration fluctuations and sampling distortion. Conventional control methods are difficult to achieve stable control of NOx emissions. Therefore, a prediction model of NOx concentration at the SCR inlet is first constructed based on the main operating parameters in the furnace.
[0053] The SCR inlet NOx concentration prediction model is constructed based on the actual operating conditions of the unit. Its input parameters cover the main in-furnace operating parameters that have a direct impact on the generation and change of NOx concentration, including unit load, total air volume, total coal volume, secondary air damper opening, burnout damper opening, and unit oxygen content. These parameters can comprehensively reflect the combustion state and flue gas characteristics in the furnace. By dynamically analyzing and calculating these real-time collected operating parameters, the model can accurately capture the changing pattern of SCR inlet NOx concentration.
[0054] During unit operation, the predictive model continuously outputs real-time data related to the NOx concentration at the SCR inlet. The average emission value is not a single instantaneous concentration data, but a stable value obtained by processing the continuous concentration data over a period of time output by the model. This processing can effectively filter out high-frequency oscillations in NOx concentration caused by factors such as coal quality fluctuations and air volume changes, avoid interference from instantaneous data fluctuations to subsequent control, and ensure that the output average emission value has good stability and reliability.
[0055] Obtaining this average emission value essentially provides an advanced and accurate concentration reference for ammonia injection control in the denitrification system. Compared to the lagging data that relies on CEMS sampling analysis, this average value can predict the changing trend of NOx concentration at the SCR inlet in advance, creating conditions for the early action of the ammonia injection valve. This helps overcome the large delay characteristics of the SCR system and lays a key data foundation for achieving stable control of NOx emissions under wide loads, reducing urea over-injection, and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the unit.
[0056] Step 102: Based on the average emission value and the mathematical transfer model parameters, construct an internal model control compensation loop to achieve dynamic compensation for the large inertia and long delay characteristics of the selective catalytic reduction system;
[0057] The core lies in forming a precise compensation logic based on average emission values and mathematical transfer model parameters. These mathematical transfer model parameters are obtained through field experiments and data processing: First, field step tests are conducted on valve-ammonia injection rate and ammonia injection rate-outlet NOx. This involves gradually adjusting the ammonia injection valve opening to change the ammonia injection rate, while simultaneously monitoring the impact of ammonia injection rate changes on the outlet NOx concentration in real time, recording the complete dynamic process of the system from input adjustment to output response. Then, the raw data collected during the experiments is filtered and noise-reduced to remove invalid data caused by equipment vibration, signal interference, and other factors. Finally, a complete mathematical transfer model of the SCR system covering all operating conditions is constructed for different load segments of the unit. From this model, key parameters characterizing the system's dynamic characteristics, such as inertia time and lag time, are extracted. These parameters accurately reflect the SCR system's response speed and lag time to ammonia injection adjustments under different loads.
[0058] The average emission value is a stable data output from the SCR inlet NOx concentration prediction model. It has filtered out high-frequency oscillation interference and accurately reflects the actual trend of NOx concentration changes at the SCR inlet, providing a reliable concentration benchmark for the compensation loop. When constructing the internal model control compensation loop, the average emission value is used as the core input signal. Combined with the mathematical transfer model parameters of the corresponding load segment, a dynamic correlation between concentration changes and control adjustments is established through the internal model control algorithm. When the average emission value indicates that the SCR inlet NOx concentration will change, the loop can calculate the magnitude and timing of the ammonia injection control adjustment in advance based on the inertia time and delay time parameters, avoiding control lag due to system inertia and delay. This internal model control compensation loop, constructed based on key data and model parameters, can specifically offset the large inertia and long delay characteristics of the SCR system, making the denitrification control more closely match the actual system response law. This lays an important foundation for achieving stable NOx emission control under wide loads, reducing urea waste, and avoiding safety hazards such as air preheater blockage.
[0059] Step 103: Integrate the concentration prediction model and the internal model control compensation loop into the denitrification control loop to achieve rapid adjustment of ammonia injection and stable control of emissions.
[0060] The concentration prediction model is built based on key furnace operating parameters such as unit load, total air volume, total coal volume, secondary air damper opening, burnout damper opening, and unit oxygen content. Its core advantage lies in its ability to detect the changing trend of NOx concentration at the SCR inlet in advance. During steady-state operation of the unit, the concentration data output by the model is consistent with the actual SCR inlet concentration. When the unit's operating conditions change, the model can output concentration change signals in advance, providing an advanced concentration reference for the denitrification control loop. The internal model control compensation loop is built based on the mathematical transfer model of the SCR system at different load segments. This mathematical transfer model is obtained through on-site step tests of valve-ammonia injection rate and ammonia injection rate-outlet NOx, as well as filtering and noise reduction processing. It can accurately extract the system's inertia time and delay time parameters, thereby specifically compensating for the large inertia and long delay characteristics of the SCR system.
[0061] During the integration process, the output signal of the concentration prediction model serves as a key pre-input for the denitrification control loop, enabling the control loop to acquire trend information before actual NOx concentration changes, thus reserving response time for ammonia injection adjustment. The internal model control compensation loop is deeply integrated with the ammonia injection adjustment unit in the denitrification control loop. When the control loop issues an ammonia injection adjustment command based on the concentration prediction model signal, the internal model control compensation loop can dynamically correct the amplitude and timing of ammonia injection adjustment based on system inertia and delay parameters, avoiding excessive or insufficient ammonia injection due to system lag. After integration, the denitrification control loop can achieve "advanced perception" through concentration prediction and solve the "response lag" problem through internal model compensation, significantly improving the timeliness and accuracy of ammonia injection adjustment. When unit load fluctuations, coal quality changes, or air volume adjustments cause NOx concentration to change, the control loop can quickly adjust the ammonia injection, avoiding excessive NOx emissions and preventing waste caused by excessive urea injection, as well as safety hazards such as air preheater blockage and ammonia explosion. Ultimately, it achieves stable control of NOx emissions and safe and efficient operation of the unit under wide load conditions.
[0062] In some embodiments, before obtaining the average emissions output from the concentration prediction model, the method further includes:
[0063] A neural network algorithm is used to train historical data on furnace operating parameters and selective catalytic reduction inlet emission concentrations to establish the concentration prediction model; wherein, the furnace operating parameters include at least one of the following: unit load, total air volume, total coal volume, secondary air damper opening, burnout damper opening, and oxygen content.
[0064] Before obtaining the average emission value output by the concentration prediction model, a model that can reliably predict the NOx concentration at the SCR inlet is constructed. The core reason for choosing a neural network algorithm to complete this construction is that the algorithm is good at mining and capturing the complex nonlinear relationship between furnace operating parameters and SCR inlet emission concentration. This relationship is not a simple linear correspondence, but a dynamic relationship affected by the interaction of multiple parameters. Traditional linear models are difficult to accurately characterize, while neural network algorithms can effectively learn this complex mapping law through a multi-layer data processing structure.
[0065] When constructing this concentration prediction model, it is necessary to first collect historical data accumulated during the actual operation of thermal power units. This data must be temporally relevant and comprehensive in terms of operating conditions, specifically including two core components: one is the furnace operating parameters, which must cover at least one of the following: unit load, total air volume, total coal volume, secondary air damper opening, burnout damper opening, and oxygen content. These parameters directly determine the intensity of combustion in the furnace, the oxygen supply, and the fuel combustion efficiency, thereby fundamentally affecting the amount of NOx generated and the emission concentration. For example, when the unit load increases, if the total coal volume and air volume are not adjusted in tandem, the NOx concentration will often fluctuate accordingly. The other component is the actual monitoring data of the SCR inlet emission concentration corresponding to the above operating parameters within the same time period, ensuring that each set of operating parameters can match the actual concentration results. Furthermore, the historical data must cover different operating conditions such as low load, medium load, and high load of the unit, as well as scenarios under different coal quality combustion and different air volume configurations, to avoid the model being only applicable to specific operating conditions and unable to cope with the demand for peak load regulation due to limited data.
[0066] The collected historical data is preprocessed to remove abnormal data caused by equipment failure or signal interference, and then divided into training and validation sets according to a reasonable ratio. The training set is used to train the neural network algorithm: the neural network analyzes the operating parameters and concentration data in the training set layer by layer, gradually learning the changing patterns of NOx concentration under different parameter combinations. For example, when the total coal quantity increases by a certain amount, combined with changes in oxygen content, the NOx concentration at the SCR inlet typically shows a certain trend; after adjusting the secondary damper opening, the lag time and magnitude of concentration response are also observed. During training, the algorithm continuously compares the predicted output with the actual concentration value, constantly optimizing the internal weights and threshold parameters to gradually reduce the prediction error. After training, the model performance is tested using the validation set to ensure that the model can stably output predicted SCR inlet emission concentration values with minimal deviation from the actual situation when receiving real-time input furnace operating parameters. This concentration prediction model, built using a neural network algorithm, not only provides an accurate data source for obtaining average emission values, but also enables early detection of NOx concentration trends in denitrification control. This lays the foundation for overcoming the large delay characteristics of the SCR system and reduces problems such as excessive NOx emissions and over-spraying of urea in conventional control from the source.
[0067] In some embodiments, before obtaining the average emissions output from the concentration prediction model, the method further includes:
[0068] Based on step test data, a transfer model of the selective catalytic reduction system under different load ranges was constructed to obtain its inertia time and delay time parameters; wherein, the step test data are step test data of valve, ammonia injection rate and ammonia injection outlet emission concentration;
[0069] Wavelet transform was used to denoise the step test data while preserving key dynamic response features;
[0070] Based on the ammonia injection response characteristics at different load levels, the least squares method is used to fit the transfer function, and transfer models are established for low load, medium load and high load respectively.
[0071] In the denitrification control of thermal power units, the large inertia and long delay characteristics of the selective catalytic reduction system (SCR system) will show significant differences with the changes in unit load. Under low load, medium load and high load, the different flue gas volume, catalyst activity and reaction conditions will lead to significant differences in the system's response speed and lag time to ammonia injection adjustment. If a uniform control model is used, it is difficult to adapt to the dynamic characteristics under full load conditions. Therefore, before obtaining the average emission value output by the concentration prediction model, it is necessary to first construct a load-segmented SCR system transfer model.
[0072] The construction process begins with acquiring step test data, which is achieved through on-site step tests: During the test, the opening of the ammonia injection valve is gradually adjusted to change the ammonia injection rate, while real-time data on the changes in the ammonia injection rate and the dynamic response data of the NOx emission concentration at the SCR outlet after the ammonia injection rate adjustment are collected. This forms complete step test data covering valve action, changes in ammonia injection rate, and the response of the outlet concentration. These data directly reflect the input-output dynamic relationship of the SCR system under specific loads and are the core foundation for building the transfer model.
[0073] Due to factors such as equipment vibration and signal interference in the field test environment, the original step test data will contain noise. If used directly for modeling, it will lead to a decrease in model accuracy. Therefore, wavelet transform is required for noise reduction. Wavelet transform can decompose the original test signal into components of different frequencies. By identifying and removing high-frequency components that represent noise, it can fully retain the signal components that reflect the key dynamic response characteristics of the SCR system, such as the inflection point time of the outlet NOx concentration after the ammonia injection rate adjustment, the rate of concentration change, and the value after stabilization. This ensures that the processed data can truly reflect the dynamic characteristics of the system.
[0074] After obtaining the noise-reduced step test data, the least squares method was used to fit the transfer function based on the differences in ammonia injection response characteristics of the SCR system under different load conditions. For the characteristics of small flue gas volume and relatively concentrated reaction space in the low-load section, large flue gas volume and long reaction path in the high-load section, and the characteristics of the medium-load section which fall between the two, appropriate transfer function forms were selected for each. The least squares method was used to calculate and minimize the sum of squared errors between the experimental data and the theoretical output value of the transfer function, thereby determining the specific parameters of the transfer function for each load section. Finally, independent SCR system transfer models were established for low, medium, and high loads, and the inertia time and delay time parameters corresponding to each load section were extracted from the models. These load-segment transfer models and parameters can accurately characterize the dynamic laws of the SCR system under different operating conditions, providing a reliable basis for the subsequent construction of internal model control compensation loops. This ensures that compensation measures can adapt to different load scenarios, laying a crucial foundation for achieving precise adjustment of ammonia injection volume and stable NOx emission control across the entire load range.
[0075] In some embodiments, integrating the concentration prediction model and the internal model control compensation loop into the denitrification control loop to achieve rapid adjustment of ammonia injection and stable control of emissions includes:
[0076] The weighting coefficients of the prediction model and the internal model control loop are dynamically adjusted based on real-time feedback of the selective catalytic reduction outlet emission concentration.
[0077] In the denitrification control of thermal power units, although the concentration prediction model and the internal model control compensation loop have been integrated into the denitrification control loop, the accuracy of the leading prediction of the concentration prediction model and the lag compensation effect of the internal model control compensation loop may dynamically change with the operating conditions due to the influence of actual operating conditions such as coal quality fluctuations, air volume changes, and combustion state adjustments during unit operation. If the weight coefficients of the two are kept fixed, it is easy to cause a decrease in the adjustment accuracy of the ammonia injection quantity in the denitrification control loop, and even the NOx emission concentration at the SCR outlet may deviate from the ultra-low emission target (50 mg / Nm³). 3 Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the real-time feedback of NOx emission concentration at the SCR outlet to dynamically adjust the weight coefficients of the prediction model and the internal model control loop, so as to ensure that the two can work together efficiently under different operating conditions, and to ensure the accuracy of ammonia injection regulation and the stability of emission control.
[0078] Real-time feedback of SCR outlet NOx emission concentration is obtained through CEMS sampling and analysis. This data directly reflects the actual effect of denitrification control and is the core basis for judging the synergistic effect of the current prediction model and internal model control loop. When the real-time feedback outlet concentration is stable within the target range, it indicates that the weight coefficients of the two are suitable for the current operating conditions. If the outlet concentration fluctuates or exceeds the target value, the problem needs to be located through this real-time feedback data to determine whether the concentration prediction model has not accurately captured the trend of NOx concentration change at the SCR inlet or whether the internal model control compensation loop has not fully offset the large inertia and long delay characteristics of the system.
[0079] The dynamic adjustment of the weighting coefficients needs to be combined with the real-time feedback of the outlet concentration deviation: if the outlet concentration exceeds the target value due to a sudden change in the NOx concentration at the SCR inlet, and the concentration prediction model does not output a trend signal in advance, it indicates that the predictive model's adaptability to the current operating conditions has decreased. In this case, the weighting coefficient of the internal model control loop needs to be increased to enhance its ability to compensate for system lag and quickly adjust the ammonia injection rate to suppress the concentration rise. If the outlet concentration fluctuates due to a lag in ammonia injection adjustment caused by system inertia, it indicates that the internal model control compensation is insufficient. The weighting coefficient of the prediction model can be appropriately increased to rely on its predictive ability to adjust the ammonia injection rate in advance and avoid adjustment lag. Through this dynamic weighting adjustment based on real-time feedback, the proactive adjustment of the concentration prediction model and the lag compensation of the internal model control compensation loop can form a dynamic balance, enabling the denitrification control loop to always optimize the adjustment logic according to the actual operating conditions. This achieves rapid response of the ammonia injection rate and stable control of NOx emissions at the SCR outlet, while avoiding waste caused by excessive urea injection and safety hazards such as air preheater blockage and ammonia explosion.
[0080] In some embodiments, the method further includes:
[0081] The backflush cycle is identified by analyzing the sampled signal, and signal interpolation is performed using historical data and the output of the prediction model during the backflush period.
[0082] In the SCR denitrification control process of thermal power units, NOx concentration monitoring relies on the continuous flue gas monitoring system (CEMS) to sample and analyze the inlet and outlet flue gas. To prevent the CEMS sampling tubes from being clogged by dust and other impurities in the flue gas, the sampling tubes are periodically backflushed according to a fixed schedule. During the backflushing, the CEMS sampling process is temporarily interrupted, and the sampling signal remains at the value before the backflushing began and does not update. This signal stagnation will cause the denitrification control loop to be unable to obtain accurate NOx concentration change information, resulting in control process distortion. This may lead to delayed or excessive ammonia injection, increasing the risk of NOx emissions exceeding standards. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved by identifying the backflushing cycle of the analyzed sampling signal and interpolating the signal during the backflushing.
[0083] First, backflush cycle identification is performed by real-time monitoring of the operating status parameters of the CEMS sampling system. For example, the opening and closing signals of the backflush control valve are tracked. When the valve opens, backflush is determined to begin, and when the valve closes, backflush is determined to end. Alternatively, the operating parameters of the sampling pump, such as current and pressure, are monitored. These parameters will show characteristic changes when backflush starts, and the specific time node of backflush is determined accordingly. Then, the duration and interval of the backflush cycle are analyzed to ensure that the time range of each backflush can be accurately captured.
[0084] After confirming the start of the backflushing phase, signal interpolation is performed using historical data and the output of the concentration prediction model. Historical sampling data from non-backflushing periods that closely match the current unit operating conditions (such as unit load, total air volume, total coal volume, and secondary damper opening) are selected. Because of the similar operating conditions, the NOx concentration trend of this data is strongly correlated with the actual concentration change during the current backflushing period, serving as the basis for interpolation. Simultaneously, relying on the previously constructed concentration prediction model, which continuously outputs predicted values of SCR inlet NOx concentration based on real-time collected furnace operating parameters, reflecting the dynamic trend of concentration change. Historical data from similar operating conditions are fused with the model prediction values to generate a continuous and realistic NOx concentration replacement signal during backflushing. This signal replaces the stagnant original sampling signal input to the denitrification control loop, ensuring that the control loop can still obtain a reliable concentration reference during backflushing. This avoids malfunctions in ammonia injection control due to signal distortion, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of ammonia injection regulation, thereby maintaining stable NOx emissions and meeting the requirements for ultra-low emissions and safe operation of thermal power units.
