[0085] The method of the present invention will be further described below with reference to an embodiment:
[0086] like Figure 3 The diagram shows an electrolytic zinc production line with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons. The DC series voltage ranges from 260V to 390V, and the series current ranges from 110 to 200kA. There are 100 electrolytic cells arranged in two rows of 50 cells each. The first row of cells is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the second row is connected to the negative terminal. The two rows are connected by copper busbars. Conductive plates are installed on both sides of the electrolytic cells. The anode plates inside the cells are connected to the positive terminals of the conductive plates, and the cathode plates are connected to the negative terminals. The anode and cathode plates within the same cell are connected in parallel.
[0087] The cell voltage uses a fixed hard threshold plus a residual self-adaptive threshold. The fixed hard threshold is obtained by multiplying the highest and lowest operating voltages of the electrolytic cell by a reliability coefficient. The residual self-adaptive threshold is dynamically set using the moving average and moving standard deviation of the residuals. The residuals are used for anomaly monitoring, and their threshold update cycle is on the order of minutes. For example, an update cycle of 5 minutes can be selected.
[0088] The electrolytic cell decomposition voltage E and resistance R employ self-adaptive thresholds. Based on a linearly fitted electrolytic cell electrolysis curve model, the E and R data sequences are obtained, and the moving average and moving standard deviation of E and R are calculated to dynamically set the self-adaptive thresholds. As a trend monitoring mechanism, the threshold update cycle is on the order of tens of minutes; for example, an update cycle of 10 minutes can be selected.
[0089] When the cell voltage of the electrolytic cell exceeds the set fixed hard threshold range, it is determined that the electrolytic cell is faulty and a red emergency audible and visual alarm signal is issued.
[0090] When the residual voltage of the electrolytic cell exceeds the upper residual alarm adaptive threshold or falls below the lower residual alarm adaptive threshold, it is determined that the electrolytic cell is abnormal and a yellow warning signal is issued.
[0091] When the decomposition voltage E of the electrolytic cell exceeds the upper alarm adaptive threshold of the decomposition voltage E or falls below the lower alarm adaptive threshold of the decomposition voltage E, it is determined that there is an abnormal decomposition voltage trend in the electrolytic cell and a blue alarm signal is issued.
[0092] When the resistance R of the electrolytic cell exceeds the upper alarm adaptive threshold of the resistance R or falls below the lower alarm adaptive threshold of the resistance R, it is determined that the resistance of the electrolytic cell has an abnormal trend and a blue alarm signal is issued.
