Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a marine disaster-causing organism monitoring system and method for use in coastal nuclear power plants. Background Technology
[0002] As an important clean energy base, the operational safety of coastal nuclear power plants is closely related to the marine environment. Nuclear power plants typically use seawater as a cooling medium, introducing seawater into the cooling system through intake structures. However, the marine environment contains various potentially hazardous organisms that pose a threat to the safe operation of nuclear power plants, among which the explosive aggregation of plankton such as jellyfish and krill is particularly prominent.
[0003] Currently, monitoring of organisms causing disasters in the cold sources of coastal nuclear power plants mainly relies on manual inspections, underwater video surveillance, or simple acoustic detection equipment. Manual inspections are inefficient, have limited coverage, and cannot be conducted in adverse weather conditions; traditional underwater video surveillance is easily affected by water turbidity and lighting conditions, and it is difficult to accurately count and measure the length of organisms when they are densely packed; while existing acoustic equipment can detect biomass, it is difficult to accurately identify species, especially jellyfish, krill, and other soft-bodied organisms. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a marine disaster-causing organism monitoring system and method for coastal nuclear power plants, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a marine disaster-causing organism monitoring system for coastal nuclear power plants, comprising a data acquisition module, an edge intelligent processing module, a risk quantification and early warning module, and an intelligent decision-making and control module;
[0006] The data acquisition module includes an optical imaging subunit, an acoustic detection subunit, and an environmental parameter sensing subunit, and is used to acquire multi-source heterogeneous data of the marine environment in the water intake area of the coastal nuclear power plant.
[0007] The edge intelligent processing module is communicatively connected to the data acquisition module and is used to perform fusion analysis and feature extraction on multi-source heterogeneous data, and output species identification results, number of individuals and individual body length data.
[0008] The risk quantification and early warning module is connected to the edge intelligent processing module. Based on the data output by the edge intelligent processing module, it generates a quantitative curve of biological disaster amount and performs coupled analysis with the key operating parameters of the nuclear power plant cold source system to calculate the comprehensive risk index of the current biological situation on the cold source system. Based on the comprehensive risk index, it automatically generates graded early warning information.
[0009] The intelligent decision-making and control module is connected to the risk quantification and early warning module and the control interface of the nuclear power plant cold source system, respectively. Based on the early warning information and comprehensive risk index generated by the risk quantification and early warning module, it provides automated control commands to nuclear power plant operators.
[0010] Preferably, as a preferred embodiment of the marine disaster-causing biological monitoring system for a coastal nuclear power plant according to the present invention, the data acquisition module includes an optical imaging subunit, an acoustic detection subunit, and an environmental parameter sensing subunit, used to acquire multi-source heterogeneous data of the marine environment in the water intake area of the coastal nuclear power plant;
[0011] The optical imaging subunit includes at least one high-definition underwater camera, equipped with an adaptive spectral supplementary light source and an ultrasonic self-cleaning device to ensure the stability of image quality under different lighting and water conditions. It is deployed in the underwater area of the water intake and is used to continuously acquire high-definition video streams and still images containing disaster-causing biological targets.
[0012] The acoustic detection subunit includes multiple multi-frequency sonar devices deployed in the underwater area of the water intake. These multi-frequency sonars are used to transmit and receive sound waves to detect organisms in the water, obtaining information on the location, density, and movement trajectories of the biological population. Specifically, this includes the following:
[0013] By emitting broadband acoustic pulses with different center frequencies and analyzing the echo signals received from the water body, the acoustic target intensity, volumetric scattering intensity, and radial velocity relative to the sonar of the organism are obtained. The acoustic target intensity is obtained by measuring the emitted sound source level. Received sound pressure level Dissemination loss The system gain G is calculated and reflects the ability of a biological system to scatter sound waves, with units of dB. The formula is: ,in, , R represents the acoustic target intensity, and R represents the target distance. The absorption attenuation coefficient (TS) shows that the TS values of different organisms and their frequency dependence vary significantly at different frequencies.
[0014] The volumetric scattering intensity is obtained by summing the acoustic target intensities of all N detection targets within the sampling volume and taking the logarithm. It reflects the density of organisms per unit volume. The specific formula is as follows: ,in, It is the acoustic target intensity of the a-th detected target;
[0015] The radial motion speed is measured by measuring the frequency change of the echo signal relative to the transmitted signal. The calculation yields the following formula: Where c is the speed of sound in water. The center frequency of the emitted sound wave It is the radial velocity component of the target along the direction of sound wave propagation. Non-biological targets have extremely low radial velocities, while biological targets exhibit significant non-zero velocities. It can effectively distinguish between biological scatterers and non-biological background, thereby improving the reliability of target detection.
[0016] Using multi-sonar triangulation, the same target is detected at different spatial locations to obtain its three-dimensional coordinates. Time-series analysis of the sonar echo data is performed, and target association and tracking algorithms are used to match and link the same target detected at different times, constructing its continuous motion path over a period of time. Further steps include:
[0017] Deploy at least three multi-frequency sonar devices whose spatial locations are known and which are not collinear with each other. When multiple sonars detect a target, the time delay between the transmission and reception of the sound waves is measured. Calculate the target to the sonar distance , will sonar The coordinates are represented as The three-dimensional coordinates of the target are obtained by solving the system of equations using the least squares method. The system of equations consists of the measurement geometry of each sonar:
[0018] Where M is the number of sonars that detected the target, b is the sonar device index, and c is the speed of sound in water;
[0019] The known target set at time step k is obtained using sonar equipment. The set of new probe points with time step k+1 By processing the known target state using the Kalman filter algorithm, the state of the target at different time steps is obtained, and state estimation points are generated. For the same target, the state estimation points at consecutive time steps are connected to generate the real-time motion trajectory of the target.
[0020] The environmental parameter sensing subunit is deployed in the water body at the intake point and integrates a multi-parameter water quality sensor array, including a high-precision digital water temperature sensor, a conductivity sensor, a photoelectric scattering turbidity sensor, a three-dimensional ADCP flow velocity sensor, and a fluorescence chlorophyll a sensor, for real-time monitoring and transmission of marine environmental parameters, including water temperature, salinity, turbidity, flow velocity, and chlorophyll concentration data.

For the e-th organism category, the probability of the classifier's output layer is... for ,in, , These are the weights and biases of the classifier's output layer. This indicates that visual features are represented in the final fused feature vector. Weights in;

Where U is the number of samples and E is the number of categories. It is the true class label of sample u. It is the probability predicted by the model that sample u belongs to class e;
[0031] The category with the highest probability is selected as the final species identification result. A lightweight target detection model is used to detect and classify the bounding boxes of individual organisms causing disasters in optical images, and to track the targets in the detection results in consecutive video frames, outputting the number of individuals of different species detected in the field of view.

Based on the data output by the edge intelligent processing module, a quantitative curve of biological disaster-causing quantity is generated, and coupled with key operating parameters of the nuclear power plant's cold source system for analysis, the comprehensive risk index of the current biological situation on the cold source system is calculated. Based on the comprehensive risk index, graded early warning information is automatically generated, specifically including the following:
[0034] Based on species identification results, individual quantity, and individual body length data output by the edge intelligent processing module, a disaster quantification model for different disaster-causing organisms is constructed. For a single disaster-causing organism, a disaster intensity function is established based on its physical characteristics. Used to quantify the size of a single individual of this species at different body lengths The potential for causing disasters is below;
