Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This document relates to the technical field, and in particular to a method and apparatus for implementing soft measurement modeling. Background Technology
[0002] The inherent randomness, intermittency, and volatility of new energy power generation pose significant challenges to the stable operation of the power system. Building a new power system primarily based on new energy sources urgently requires thermal power units to transform from traditional baseload power sources to flexible regulation power sources. This involves using methods such as deep peak shaving and rapid start-up and shutdown to quickly respond to dynamic changes in grid load, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system and a reliable energy supply.
[0003] With the further development of new energy sources and the increasing demands for grid flexibility, deep peak shaving and rapid start-up / shutdown control systems for thermal power units will become key technologies for stable operation and efficient utilization of thermal power units. By combining advanced control technologies and management models, these systems will play an important role in ensuring energy supply security, promoting the consumption of renewable energy, and improving the economic benefits of power units.
[0004] Currently, the construction of a new power system based on new energy sources places higher demands on power supply regulation capabilities. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the unit's ability to regulate load increases and decreases and to quickly start and stop through methods such as simulation, hardware and software measurement, and control optimization.
[0005] Soft sensing organically combines production process knowledge with computer technology to infer or estimate important variables that are difficult or temporarily unmeasurable by selecting other easily measurable variables and establishing mathematical relationships. This software replaces the function of hardware. Applying soft sensing technology to achieve online detection of elemental composition content is not only economical and reliable, but also provides rapid dynamic response and continuous information on elemental composition content during extraction, facilitating product quality control. Therefore, a soft sensing modeling implementation method is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Method Implementation Examples According to embodiments of the present invention, a soft-sensor modeling implementation method is provided for a deep peak shaving and rapid start-stop control system for coal-fired power units. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the soft measurement modeling implementation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the soft measurement modeling implementation method according to an embodiment of the present invention specifically includes: Step S101 involves determining the dominant and auxiliary variables of the soft measurement task through mechanistic analysis; specifically including: Through mechanistic analysis, dominant and auxiliary variables are determined based on the process flow of the device. The auxiliary variables meet the criteria of correlation, specificity, process adaptability, accuracy, and robustness. Specifically, the auxiliary variables include: variable type, number of variables, and detection point locations. The lower limit of the number of auxiliary variables is the estimated number of dominant variables, while the upper limit is determined based on the system's degrees of freedom and the characteristics of the production process.
[0016] Step S102 involves collecting data based on the dominant and auxiliary variables, performing conversion and error processing on the collected data to obtain processed data; specifically including: Data is collected based on the dominant and auxiliary variables. The collected data is then converted and error-processed. The conversion includes scaling, transformation, and weight function conversion. The error processing includes handling random errors and gross errors. Random errors are processed using filtering methods, while gross errors are processed using statistical hypothesis testing, generalized likelihood method, Bayesian method, and / or neural network method.
[0017] Step S103: Based on the processed data, perform soft measurement task modeling using mechanistic modeling and / or empirical modeling.
[0018] The above technical solution will be described in detail below.
[0019] Soft sensing organically combines production process knowledge with computer technology to select other easily measurable variables for important variables that are difficult or temporarily unmeasurable. By establishing mathematical relationships, it infers or estimates these variables, replacing the functions of hardware with software. Applying soft sensing technology to achieve online detection of elemental composition content is not only economical and reliable, but also provides rapid dynamic response and continuous information on elemental composition content during the extraction process, facilitating product quality control.
[0020] Mechanism analysis primarily clarifies the tasks of soft sensing, identifies dominant variables, and deepens understanding of the plant's process flow. It also preliminarily determines auxiliary variables. Auxiliary variables include variable type, number of variables, and detection point locations. The selection of auxiliary variables should conform to the principles of correlation, specificity, process adaptability, accuracy, and robustness. The lower limit of auxiliary variables is the number of estimated dominant variables; however, there is no unified theoretical guideline for the upper limit, which can be appropriately increased based on the system's degrees of freedom and the characteristics of the production process.
[0021] In theory, the more data collected, the better, as it can be used not only for modeling but also for model validation. To ensure the accuracy of soft sensing, data acquisition must be correct and reliable, and processed: conversion and error handling. Conversion includes scaling, transformation, and weighting functions. Error analysis mainly refers to random errors and gross errors. Random errors can be addressed using filtering methods, while gross errors can be addressed using statistical hypothesis testing, generalized likelihood estimation, Bayesian methods, and, more recently, neural network methods.
[0022] Soft measurement modeling is a key and challenging aspect of soft measurement technology. This invention employs mechanistic modeling, empirical modeling, and a combination of both. Empirical modeling involves obtaining empirical models through actual measurements or based on accumulated operational data, using mathematical regression and neural network methods. Theoretically, there are many modeling methods available, but difficulties arise during engineering implementation because processes do not allow for significant changes in operating conditions. Its advantages and disadvantages are the opposite of those of mechanistic modeling.
