[0021] This embodiment provides an intelligent control method for flue gas denitrification and ammonia supply in coal-fired power plants. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an intelligent control method for flue gas denitrification and ammonia supply in coal-fired power plants according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps: Step S101: Obtain historical data of flue gas denitrification in coal-fired power plants and real-time detection data of multiple points on the flue gas cross-section of denitrification inlet and outlet. Adjust the ammonia injection at each point according to the real-time detection data and record the adjustment data of the corresponding ammonia injection branch valve.

[0022] In some embodiments, historical data includes historical denitrification inlet and outlet parameters, ammonia supply parameters, the opening degree of each ammonia supply control valve, and other relevant parameters of the unit.

[0023] The inlet and outlet parameters for denitrification include the concentration of nitrogen oxides at the inlet and outlet of the denitrification reactor, the static pressure at the inlet and outlet of the denitrification reactor, the flue gas temperature at the inlet and outlet of the denitrification reactor, and the oxygen content at the inlet and outlet of the denitrification reactor; the ammonia supply parameters include the ammonia supply flow rate and the ammonia-air ratio; other relevant parameters of the unit include the unit's power generation, the real-time air volume of the primary and secondary air in the furnace, the flue gas volume at the furnace outlet, the coal quality type, and the coal quality test information of the coal fed into the furnace.

[0024] In some embodiments, the detection points on the flue gas cross-section of the denitrification inlet and outlet are set up using a grid method, and the real-time detection data includes the nitrogen oxide concentration, static pressure, flue gas temperature and flue gas composition at each point; the nitrogen oxide concentration is detected based on non-dispersive infrared absorption method.

[0025] Traditional single-point or few-point measurements cannot reflect the non-uniformity of flue gas parameters across the entire flue cross-section. Due to factors such as uneven boiler combustion, flue design, and the effectiveness of baffles, imported NO... X There are often significant deviations in flow velocity distribution. This leads to situations where "some areas have high ammonia levels and high NO levels." X Low, some places have low ammonia NO X "Too much" means that excessive ammonia was sprayed in order to take care of the worst-performing areas, resulting in a large amount of ammonia escape and economic losses.

[0026] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the inlet and outlet detection points for denitrification according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment sets up multiple detection points. During unit operation, a multi-channel flue gas sampling gun is used to acquire real-time detection data at various points along the entire flue gas cross-section at the denitrification inlet and outlet. The detection data at each point is analyzed, and based on the analysis results, the corresponding zone branch valves at each point are adjusted to control the NO... X In areas with high concentrations, spray more ammonia; in areas with low concentrations, spray less ammonia, ensuring the export NO... X While ensuring the maximum value is met, reduce the total ammonia consumption to decrease the risk of local ammonia escape.

[0027] Using NO X The concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is measured by the selective absorption of infrared light at specific wavelengths by molecules (mainly NO). Based on non-dispersive infrared absorption (NDIR) for detecting NOx concentration, this method is sensitive only to the target gas (NOx), with minimal interference from other common components in flue gas (such as CO2, water vapor, and SO2), ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the measurement data.

[0028] The ammonia injection system was optimized and leveled, and the adjustment data of the corresponding ammonia injection branch valves were recorded, i.e., the changes in the opening degree of the ammonia injection branch valves.

[0029] The ultimate goal of intelligent control is to find an optimal combination of valve openings that results in the most uniform NOx distribution at the outlet and the lowest total ammonia consumption. In this embodiment, valve adjustment data is recorded to allow the model to learn the complex mapping relationship between operating conditions and valve openings.

[0030] Without adjustment data, the model can only provide an "initial" or "theoretical" valve opening suggestion based on inlet conditions. With this data, however, the model can verify whether the previous control action achieved the expected results. If the effect is unsatisfactory (e.g., NOx reduction is not significant in a certain area), the model can learn in the next adjustment, attempting larger or smaller adjustments to the valve, gradually approaching the optimal solution. This process achieves online, continuous self-optimization.

[0031] Valve characteristics are often nonlinear; this can be observed by recording changes in valve opening and the resulting system changes (such as outlet NO). X The model can learn the individual characteristics of each valve (due to wear, blockage, etc., the actual flow-opening curve of each valve is unique), and establish a "digital fingerprint" for each valve, thereby enabling more precise control.

[0032] Furthermore, valve adjustments are not independent; opening one valve more fully may affect the flow and concentration fields in adjacent regions, causing changes in NOx levels in those regions as well. Only by recording the combined effects of adjusting all valves simultaneously can the model learn this complex coupling relationship and thus make collaboratively optimal decisions.

[0033] Continue to refer to Figure 1 After acquiring historical data, real-time detection data, and adjustment data, step S102 is executed.

[0034] Step S102: Input historical data and adjustment data into the pre-built LSTM neural network model to obtain the nitrogen oxide prediction data at the next moment of the denitrification outlet.

[0035] Step S103: Input the predicted nitrogen oxide data, real-time detection data, and adjustment data into the pre-built random forest model to obtain the predicted values ​​of nitrogen oxide concentrations at each point on the flue gas cross section at the denitrification outlet.

[0036] The model is constructed using a first-layer output and a second-layer correction approach. The first layer employs an LSTM neural network, and the second layer uses a random forest. Firstly, processed historical data and adjusted data are input into the first-layer model to predict the NO₂ output of the denitrification outlet during the next timescale of online monitoring. X Concentration; then the output of the first-layer model is added to the dataset to detect NO online at the current time. X Using concentration data as a feature, the nitrogen oxide concentration at each point on the cross-section of the denitrification outlet flue gas is predicted.

[0037] Preferably, the training model employs multi-fold cross-validation, and the mean squared error (RMSE) metric is used for performance evaluation. The mathematical expression is as follows:

[0038] in, For the observed values, n represents the fitted values ​​for each model. samples This represents the number of data entries included in the model.

[0039] In this embodiment, multiple types of random forest models are trained based on the different fluctuation characteristics of the unit load, and the most suitable model is switched and called according to the real-time load fluctuation situation. The load fluctuation situation includes stable load conditions and frequent load fluctuations.

[0040] Preferably, the classification criteria are set empirically based on the unit capacity type. Optionally, the criterion is that the unit load fluctuation exceeds 20% of the unit capacity within half an hour. If the difference between the unit's maximum load and minimum load (fluctuation range) exceeds 20% of the capacity in the past half hour, it is judged that the current state is "frequent load fluctuation"; if the load fluctuation range in the past half hour is less than or equal to 20% of the capacity, it is judged that the current state is "stable load".

[0041] Each random forest sub-model only needs to handle a relatively single running state, so the patterns it learns are more consistent, it has a stronger ability to generalize to new data of the same type, and it reduces the risk of overfitting.

[0042] LSTM's unique gating mechanism enables it to excel at learning long-term and short-term dependencies in time series. The "ammonia injection-reaction" process in denitrification exhibits a significant physical lag, making LSTM highly suitable for modeling this lag effect. An LSTM layer outputs a master prediction of the outlet NOx concentration at a future time, and also generates a high-dimensional feature vector containing numerous learned temporal patterns, which encapsulates information about the current system state.

[0043] The output of the first model (NO) X The main predicted value of the concentration (feature vector) and real-time detection data are used as inputs to the random forest model. Random forest excels at performing high-precision nonlinear mapping based on static and cross features. The corrected output of the random forest model is the predicted concentration of nitrogen oxides at each point on the flue gas cross section at the denitrification outlet.

[0044] LSTM overcomes the weakness of Random Forest in handling long-term dependencies in pure time series data. Random Forest, in turn, overcomes the limitations of LSTM, which may be inefficient or require large amounts of data when dealing with static feature interactions and tabular data. The two-layer model in this embodiment combines the advantages of deep learning and traditional machine learning, fully considering and utilizing the strong temporal and multimodal (spatiotemporally static) characteristics simultaneously present in denitrification system data, thus improving prediction accuracy and reliability.

[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 1 After obtaining the predicted values ​​of nitrogen oxide concentrations at each location, step S104 is executed.

[0046] Step S104: Based on the predicted value of nitrogen oxide concentration at each point, obtain the average nitrogen oxide concentration, adjust the opening of the main ammonia supply valve based on the average nitrogen oxide concentration, and adjust the opening of each ammonia injection branch valve based on the predicted value of nitrogen oxide concentration at each point.

[0047] Using the currently predicted average nitrogen oxide concentration as the target of PID control, the opening of the ammonia supply main control valve is adjusted to ensure the outlet NO... X The average concentration consistently meets environmental protection requirements. Using predicted values ​​instead of measured values ​​for control overcomes the control challenges of lagging systems.

[0048] In some embodiments, adjusting the opening degree of each ammonia injection branch valve based on the predicted value of the nitrogen oxide concentration at each point in step S104 includes: The standard deviation of nitrogen oxide concentration at each location is obtained based on the predicted value of nitrogen oxide concentration at each location and the real-time concentration of nitrogen oxide at each location in the real-time detection data.

[0049] Based on the partial dependency analysis method, the sensitivity of the ammonia injection branch pipe valve opening adjustment to the standard deviation is analyzed, and the opening of each ammonia injection branch pipe valve is adjusted according to the sensitivity analysis results.

[0050] Based on the predicted nitrogen oxide concentrations at the denitrification outlet from multiple locations, the standard deviation of the nitrogen oxide concentration at the denitrification outlet is provided. Furthermore, a partial dependency analysis method is used to provide a sensitivity analysis of the adjustment of the ammonia supply branch pipe valve opening. Based on the analysis results, the branch pipe valve is adjusted to optimize the NO concentration at the denitrification outlet. X Concentration field. Based on standard deviation assessment and sensitivity analysis, the opening degree of the ammonia injection branch pipe valve is controlled to ensure that the NO concentration at each point of the outlet section is controlled. X The concentration distribution is most uniform, that is, the standard deviation of the concentration field is minimized.

[0051] Sensitivity analysis of the nitrogen oxide concentration in a given zone based on the opening degree of the ammonia injection branch pipe valve using partial dependency analysis can provide numerical references for power plant maintenance personnel to adjust the valves of the local ammonia injection branch pipe. Partial dependency analysis is a sensitivity analysis method based on machine learning, and its principle is as follows:

[0052] Where, x s and X C These are the influencing factors that need to be analyzed and the remaining influencing factors. The selected and constructed model is influenced by each feature, where n refers to the number of data entries in the dataset, and X... C ( i )The remaining influencing factors of the i-th factor are used to estimate the sensitivity curve through Monte Carlo sampling. .

[0053] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an intelligent control method for denitrification and ammonia supply according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the partial dependence response curve of the opening of the ammonia injection branch pipe regulating valve and the nitrogen oxide outlet cross section is used to guide the on-site adjustment of the opening of the ammonia injection branch pipe zone valve.

[0054] By decoupling total quantity control (main control valve - PID) and distributed optimization (branch control valve - data-based optimization), the complexity of a single controller handling multiple conflicting objectives simultaneously is avoided.

[0055] Through the above steps, online monitoring data (historical data) and real-time on-site detection data are integrated, effectively overcoming the limitations of online monitoring NO. X The system addresses the lag issue in concentration; simultaneously, by leveraging the interpretable output of the artificial intelligence model, it provides real-time adjustment instructions for the opening of the ammonia supply valve for operators' reference, thereby improving the intelligence and precision of the SCR denitrification operation control system for coal-fired units.

[0056] In some embodiments, after obtaining historical data, real-time detection data, and adjustment data in step S101, these data also need to be preprocessed. This preprocessing primarily involves removing outliers and abnormal periods such as critical equipment failures to ensure the overall accuracy of the data. The preprocessing methods specifically include: Step S1011: Convert and expand the historical data, real-time detection data, and adjustment data into moving averages at the second and minute levels.

[0057] Second-level moving average (e.g., 10-second window): used to capture very rapid changes and disturbances, such as small adjustments to certain dampers or transient noise in measurement signals, providing high-frequency details.

[0058] Minute-level moving averages (e.g., 5-minute or 10-minute windows): used to capture major process trends, such as the effects of slow load changes and coal quality changes. They can effectively filter out short-term noise and reveal potential trends.

[0059] Industrial sensor data inevitably contains noise. Moving average is a simple and effective smoothing method that can improve data quality and allow models to learn more stable patterns. Furthermore, by calculating the average value, historical information is incorporated to some extent, which helps the model understand the inertia of the process.

[0060] The overall data features are transformed and expanded into moving averages at the second and minute levels, and the detection data is augmented using the SMOTE method. The Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) increases the data for the minority class by "artificially" or "synthetically" creating new samples. Augmenting the detection data using the SMOTE method prevents the model from being biased towards the majority class during training, while allowing the model to better learn complex patterns under rare conditions. This leads to more accurate predictions when facing these conditions, thereby improving the safety and robustness of the control system.

[0061] Step S1012: Feature filtering is performed on the transformed and expanded historical data, real-time detection data, and adjustment data based on the SHAP value.

[0062] Incorporate empirical judgment data and perform feature identification and filtering on the overall feature data based on SHAP values.

[0063] By quantifying and injecting domain expert knowledge into the model, the shortcomings of purely data-driven approaches are compensated. These features provide the model with powerful "prior knowledge," enabling it to quickly identify and adapt to certain special operating conditions and avoid making predictions that violate process principles.

[0064] The importance of each feature is identified based on SHAP values. SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values ​​are a model interpretability method based on game theory's Shapley values. They can explain complex models while providing physically meaningful contributions of driving factors. They precisely tell us how much each feature (variable) contributes (whether it positively pushes or negatively drags down) when the model makes a particular prediction. The specific calculation method is as follows:

[0065] potential, , representing the expected concentration of nitrogen oxides, is usually taken as the mean of the data included in the model; S is the subset of features excluding feature i; F is the complete set of features; p represents the number of features. The calculation considers a weighted combination of multiple variable values. It can be regarded as the contribution (µg / m3) of the i-th influencing factor to the change in pollutant concentration. The importance analysis is performed by rounding the mean of the absolute values ​​of the contributions in the dataset, and features that are close to 0 are removed.

[0066] By using SHAP values ​​to identify and filter features from overall feature data, the risk of overfitting can be reduced, the model training speed can be accelerated, and a more concise and efficient model can be obtained. Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a data processing method according to an embodiment of this application.

[0067] In some embodiments, step S1011, which involves converting and expanding the adjusted data into moving averages at the second and minute levels, includes: The initial operating condition data in the adjustment data is removed. Based on the SMOTE method, the adjustment data after removal is transformed and expanded to obtain the moving average value of the adjustment data. The moving average value includes the moving average value of time windows of 5s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 1min and 5min.

[0068] The Synthetic Minority Oversampling (SMOTE) technique is used to augment the field detection dataset. This method avoids neglecting the features of the detection data during subsequent model training due to the relatively small amount of online data in the field detection dataset, thus balancing the overall dataset to improve the accuracy of subsequent models.

[0069] The addition of experience and supplementary judgments to the data includes, but is not limited to: the number of catalyst layers, the process characteristic indicators of the catalyst, and the commissioning time of each catalyst layer. The data expanded to include second-level and minute-level time-series information, primarily using the moving average values ​​of time windows of 5s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 1min, and 5min.

[0070] The current power generation capacity is classified into three categories based on the ratio of power generation capacity to the maximum rated output: high load (80%-100%), medium load (60%-80%), and low load (<60%).

[0071] Assessing the current power generation load, whether there are significant load changes in a short period of time, and the impact of peak shaving, etc., are crucial, as both the size and changes in power generation load have a significant impact on the operating efficiency of denitrification equipment.

[0072] In some embodiments, each ammonia injection branch pipe is equipped with a zoned remote regulating valve, and the method further includes: The concentration of nitrogen oxides in each region was predicted using an LSTM neural network model and a random forest model. Based on the predicted nitrogen oxide concentrations in each zone, the opening of the remote control valve in each zone is adjusted.

[0073] If the NO outlet of the denitrification facility of a coal-fired power plant X The concentration field has poor uniformity, and there are remote regulating valves in each ammonia injection branch. The model can predict the nitrogen oxide concentration in each zone and feed it back to the zone regulating valve for automatic control.

[0074] It should be noted that the remote control valve for each zone is a technically modified denitrification device.
