Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flue gas purification technology in thermal power plants, and in particular to an autonomous intelligent adjustment method and system for pH value of desulfurization devices in thermal power plants. Background Technology

[0002] In the limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization process of thermal power plants, the pH value of the slurry in the absorption tower is a key parameter affecting desulfurization efficiency. If the pH value is too high, although the desulfurization efficiency will be improved, it will easily lead to waste of desulfurizing agents (such as limestone), scaling of pipelines, and equipment blockage. If the pH value is too low, the desulfurization reaction rate will decrease, the sulfur dioxide (SO2) absorption will be insufficient, and the SO2 concentration at the outlet will exceed the standard, failing to meet environmental emission requirements.

[0003] Currently, pH adjustment in desulfurization units of thermal power plants mainly relies on two methods: manual experience-based adjustment and simple PID-based customized adjustment. Manual experience-based adjustment involves operators periodically checking pH meter readings and manually adjusting the frequency of the desulfurizing agent supply pump or the valve opening based on experience. This method heavily depends on personal experience, has a slow response time, cannot adapt to rapid changes in flue gas load and SO2 concentration, has poor adjustment accuracy, and is prone to fluctuations in desulfurization efficiency or material waste. Simple PID-based setpoint adjustment involves setting a fixed pH target and using a PID controller to adjust the amount of desulfurizing agent added based on the deviation between the measured pH value and the set value. While this method achieves automation, it is a "post-event adjustment" and a single-loop control, failing to consider the feedforward effects of inlet flue gas parameters (such as SO2 concentration, flue gas volume, and temperature) and the impact of changes in the slurry's own properties (such as density and liquid level) on the reaction environment. When operating conditions fluctuate significantly, PID regulation also suffers from overshoot, oscillation, or slow response, resulting in unsatisfactory control performance.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a pH autonomous intelligent regulation scheme that can comprehensively consider multiple influencing factors, has predictive and self-learning capabilities, and can achieve precise feedforward-feedback composite regulation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an autonomous intelligent adjustment method and system for pH value of desulfurization equipment in thermal power plants, so as to achieve rapid, accurate and stable control of pH value, thereby improving desulfurization efficiency, reducing desulfurizing agent consumption and ensuring long-term stable operation of the unit.

Closed-loop feedback and model self-optimization: Real-time monitoring of the performance indicators of the desulfurization system and comparison of the performance indicators with the expected values. If the performance indicators continue to deviate from the expectations, the model optimization mechanism is triggered to correct and update the parameters of the desulfurization reaction model using historical operating data.

[0007] Further, in step S1, the flue gas parameters include at least SO2 concentration, flue gas flow rate, and flue gas temperature; the pH value parameter is the pH value measured by pH sensors installed at at least two different height positions inside the absorption tower; the physical property parameters include at least slurry level and slurry density; and the actual average pH value is the arithmetic mean or weighted average of the readings of the at least two pH sensors.

[0008] Furthermore, in step S2, the desulfurization reaction model is a prediction model trained based on the desulfurization chemical reaction mechanism and historical operating data; the input variables of the desulfurization reaction model include at least the inlet SO2 concentration, flue gas flow rate, and flue gas temperature, and the output variable is the recommended target pH range.

[0009] Further, in step S3, the "generating a basic adjustment instruction for the amount of desulfurizer added based on the comparison results" specifically means: using a PID control algorithm, a fuzzy control algorithm, or a fuzzy PID control algorithm to generate the basic adjustment instruction based on the deviation between the actual average pH value and the target pH value range.

[0010] Further, in step S3, the "dynamic correction of the basic adjustment command based on the real-time collected slurry level and slurry density" specifically means: pre-establishing the correction coefficient relationship between slurry level and density and the amount of desulfurizer added, querying the relationship based on the real-time level and density to obtain the correction coefficient, and multiplying the basic adjustment command by the correction coefficient to obtain the final adjustment command.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S4, the desulfurizing agent addition unit includes a high-precision metering pump and a regulating valve, and the addition flow rate of the desulfurizing agent is changed by adjusting the rotation speed of the high-precision metering pump and / or the opening degree of the regulating valve.

[0012] According to another objective of the present invention, the present invention provides an autonomous intelligent regulation system for implementing the above-described method, comprising: The data acquisition module is used to collect flue gas parameters, slurry pH value parameters, and slurry physical property parameters in real time; A data transmission network is used to transmit the data collected by the data acquisition module to the control system in real time.

[0015] Furthermore, the desulfurizing agent addition unit includes a high-precision metering pump and a regulating valve; the high-precision metering pump has an accuracy level better than 0.5%; the desulfurizing agent addition flow rate is changed by adjusting the rotation speed of the high-precision metering pump and / or the opening degree of the regulating valve.

[0016] This invention's technical solution completely changes the outdated traditional control mode that relies on manual experience or simple PID setpoints by constructing an autonomous intelligent control method that integrates multi-parameter real-time monitoring, model prediction, intelligent decision-making, and closed-loop self-optimization. By introducing inlet flue gas parameters and combining them with a desulfurization reaction model to dynamically predict the target pH value, it achieves proactive and forward-looking control of operating conditions from a feedforward perspective, significantly overcoming the lag of traditional feedback control and providing a faster response. By comprehensively considering multi-dimensional data such as pH values, slurry levels, and densities at multiple points within the absorption tower and dynamically correcting the control commands, the control strategy better fits the complex reaction environment within the tower, greatly improving the accuracy of pH control and system stability. Through closed-loop feedback and model self-optimization mechanisms, the system possesses continuous learning and adaptability, enabling it to cope with long-term disturbances such as fluctuations in desulfurizing agent quality and equipment performance degradation. This ensures desulfurization efficiency and stable emission compliance while effectively avoiding excessive addition of desulfurizing agent, achieving significant energy savings, reduced consumption, and lower operating costs.

[0035] Example 2 This embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, provides a construction strategy for an autonomous intelligent pH adjustment system for a desulfurization unit in a thermal power plant: like Figure 2 As shown, the autonomous intelligent control system of this embodiment is applied to the limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization unit of a 1000MW unit, including: Data acquisition module: A CEMS flue gas analyzer is installed on the inlet flue of the desulfurization unit to measure SO2 concentration in real time (range: 0-5000 mg / m³). 3 ), flue gas flow rate (range: 0-3 million m³) 3 / h) and flue gas temperature (range: 0-150℃).

[0036] Inside the absorption tower, three pH sensors are installed from top to bottom: above the spray layer, in the middle, and at the inlet of the circulating pump. These sensors are used to comprehensively reflect the pH distribution of the slurry (measurement range: 3-7).

[0037] A radar level gauge (measuring range: 0-15m) and an online density meter (measuring range: 1000-1300 kg / m³) are installed on the absorption tower body. 3 ).

[0038] Data transmission network: Industrial Ethernet and Profibus-DP bus are used to transmit the above sensor data to the control system in real time and stably.

[0039] Control system: Utilizing a high-performance industrial control computer as its core, running configuration software and advanced algorithm programs. The system includes: Data processing unit: Performs median filtering and moving average filtering on the received raw data to eliminate spike interference, and normalizes all parameters to the [0,1] interval for easy model processing.

[0040] Desulfurization reaction model unit: This unit's built-in model is a hybrid model based on a BP neural network and a material balance equation. The input layer of the neural network consists of normalized inlet SO2 concentration, flue gas flow rate, and flue gas temperature; the hidden layer has 10 nodes; and the output layer is the recommended target pH value. The material balance equation is used to physically constrain and verify the rationality of the neural network's output.

[0041] Decision control unit: This unit employs a fuzzy PID control algorithm. Its input is pH. avg Compared with the target pH value, the median pH value target The deviation e and the rate of change of deviation ec are output as the basic change in the amount of desulfurizer added. At the same time, the unit has a built-in correction coefficient lookup table based on the slurry level and density. The basic change is multiplied and corrected according to the real-time level and density to generate a control signal (4-20mA) sent to the actuator.

[0042] The desulfurizing agent addition unit includes a diaphragm-type high-precision metering pump (accuracy 0.5%) and an electric regulating valve. The metering pump provides power and basic flow, while the regulating valve performs rapid and fine adjustments. Working together, they receive a 4-20mA signal from the control system to precisely control the addition flow rate of the limestone slurry.

[0043] Example 3 This embodiment, based on Embodiments 1 and 2, provides a method for autonomous intelligent adjustment of pH value in a desulfurization unit of a thermal power plant, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the operation process of this method is as follows: System initialization and model training: In the initial stage of system commissioning, stable operating data of the unit under different loads and coal types are collected, including inlet flue gas parameters, slurry physical property parameters, pH value, and corresponding desulfurization efficiency. This data is used to train the neural network part of the desulfurization reaction model offline until its prediction error is less than 2%. Simultaneously, the control parameters and physical property correction coefficient table of the fuzzy PID controller are initialized.

[0044] Running in real time: The system is powered on, and all sensors begin operating. Assume that at a certain moment, the collected data is: Inlet SO2 concentration = 2500 mg / m³ 3 Flue gas flow rate = 2.2 million m³ 3 / h, flue gas temperature = 120℃, three pH sensor readings are 5.2, 5.1, 5.3 respectively, slurry level = 8.5m, slurry density = 1150 kg / m³ 3 .

[0045] The data is transmitted to the control system via the network. The data processing unit calculates the average pH value. avg =5.2.

[0046] The desulfurization reaction model unit receives the normalized flue gas parameters, calculates them through a neural network, and verifies the material balance to output the target pH range under the current operating conditions as [5.4, 5.6].

[0047] The decision control unit detects pH avg (5.2) <pH target min(5.4), the deviation e is negative. Based on the fuzzy PID rule and the current slurry properties (medium to high liquid level, normal density), it is calculated that the amount of desulfurizing agent needs to be increased by 8% from the current level.

[0048] The instruction (+8%) was sent to the desulfurizer addition unit. The high-precision metering pump and regulating valve worked in tandem to precisely increase the limestone slurry flow rate by 8%.

[0049] Feedback optimization: After increasing the amount of desulfurizing agent, the system continuously monitored the desulfurization efficiency (from 95.5% to 96.8%) and the SO2 concentration in the clean flue gas (from 45 mg / m³). 3 Reduced to 28 mg / m 3 ).

[0050] After one week of operation, it was found that even with the desulfurizing agent dosage maintained at a high level, the desulfurization efficiency slowly decreased to 95.8%. The model optimization mechanism was triggered.

[0051] The control system retrieved and analyzed operating data from the past week. Through data mining, it was discovered that, under similar inlet conditions, the required pH setpoint to achieve the same desulfurization efficiency was 0.1 points higher than the original model prediction. The system determined that this might be due to a slight decrease in the reactivity of the new batch of limestone.

[0052] Therefore, the system automatically fine-tuned the desulfurization reaction model, appropriately increasing the output of the target pH value. Subsequently, the system operated under the new model parameters, and the desulfurization efficiency recovered to over 96.5%.

[0053] Through the implementation of this embodiment, the pH control standard deviation of the desulfurization device in the thermal power plant was reduced from 0.35 under manual control to less than 0.15, the average consumption of limestone slurry was reduced by about 5%, the annual cost savings were significant, and the annual emission compliance rate was 100%.

[0054] This invention integrates multi-dimensional parameters such as flue gas, slurry pH (measured at multiple points), and slurry properties, providing a comprehensive and reliable data foundation for intelligent decision-making and overcoming the limitations and biases of single pH measurement. Employing a fusion model driven by both mechanism and data, it can predict the required pH value in advance based on changes in inlet conditions, achieving a shift from "passive feedback" to "active feedforward," resulting in faster response and more advanced control.

[0055] This invention's control strategy not only considers pH deviation but also introduces dynamic correction of slurry physical properties, making the adjustment more consistent with the actual reaction environment within the tower. Simultaneously, it incorporates closed-loop feedback and a model self-learning mechanism, enabling the system to adapt to long-term disturbances such as changes in desulfurizing agent quality and equipment performance degradation, maintaining optimal control at all times. The use of high-precision metering pumps and regulating valves as actuators ensures accurate addition at low flow rates, avoiding over- or under-adjustment and guaranteeing long-term stable operation of the pH value and the desulfurization system.

[0056] This invention, through precise control, minimizes the excessive addition of desulfurizing agents while ensuring desulfurization efficiency, thereby reducing operating costs (chemical consumption, electricity consumption) and solid waste generation, while ensuring emissions meet standards, thus achieving both economic and environmental benefits.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
