Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of boiler condition monitoring and fault early warning technology, and in particular to a boiler heating surface early warning method and system based on multi-dimensional dynamic comparison. Background Technology

[0002] Boiler heating surfaces are core components of power plant boilers, and their health directly affects the safe, stable, and economical operation of the unit. In thermal power generating units, boiler heating surfaces (such as water-cooled walls, superheaters, reheaters, economizers, etc.) operate in harsh environments of high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive flue gas for extended periods, making them high-risk areas for failure and malfunction. Therefore, accurate assessment and timely early warning of the heating surface condition are crucial for achieving predictive maintenance, preventing unplanned outages, and improving power generation efficiency. However, existing heating surface management models still have significant shortcomings, failing to fully utilize existing design, operation, and maintenance data, resulting in delayed condition awareness and crude risk assessment. Specifically, existing technologies mainly have the following problems that urgently need to be addressed: 1. Fragmented ledger data: Traditional ledgers are scattered across multiple systems in design, operation, and maintenance, leading to data silos and low comparison efficiency; 2. Delayed anomaly identification; 3. Crude risk assessment. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The following describes in detail the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention with reference to the specific circumstances of the boiler heating surface early warning method based on multi-dimensional dynamic comparison in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] This invention proposes a method for comparing boiler heating surface records, specifically including: 1. Data initialization: Import boiler heating surface design drawing data, bind equipment codes, and synchronize historical operation / maintenance data to the ledger database.

[0020] 2. Model training: Based on historical normal operation data, set the normal fluctuation range of each parameter (such as the annual growth rate of pipe diameter expansion rate ≤ 0.5%), and calibrate the similarity calculation threshold.

[0021] 3. Dynamic comparison: Automatically captures the latest operating data daily and compares it with the data from the previous day / last week / last month and the design value to generate real-time comparison reports.

[0022] 4. Manual verification: For abnormal pipe sections marked in the model, verify them by combining on-site non-destructive testing (such as ultrasonic thickness measurement) and correct the model parameters (such as adjusting the temperature deviation threshold of a certain high smoke temperature area).

[0023] The key to the embodiments of the present invention lies in: 1. Multi-dimensional ledger system: Construct a ledger architecture for the heated surface that links data throughout the entire lifecycle of "design-operation-maintenance".

[0024] 2. Dynamic comparison model: A dual-dimensional comparison algorithm that integrates temporal changes and regional differences enables automatic identification of abnormal parameters.

[0025] Among them, the core features include: 1. Data Architecture: A multi-dimensional ledger database is built based on boiler heating surface design parameters, operation monitoring data, and maintenance records, including core fields such as pipe specifications (pipe diameter / wall thickness / material), temperature / pressure operating curves, creep deformation, and defect records.

[0026] 2. Comparison Dimensions: Longitudinal time series comparison: parameter changes at different time points in the same heated surface area (such as wall thickness reduction rate, pipe diameter expansion rate, and temperature deviation trend). Horizontal area comparison: Parameter differences (such as heat absorption deviation and deformation consistency) of different tube panels / tube groups of the same type of heating surface (such as high temperature superheater and reheater).

[0027] 3. Visual output: Generates comparison curves, heat map, and deviation matrix table, supports one-click location of abnormal pipe sections, and marks the risk level (green - normal / yellow - warning / red - severe).

[0028] In summary, the main design features of this invention are: 1. Data hierarchy architecture of boiler heating surface ledger (system-region-tube panel-single tube hierarchy relationship).

[0029] 2. Calculation method of time series change rate and algorithm for comparison of mean / standard deviation of regional parameters.
