Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of environmental monitoring, in particular to a self-maintenance system of a pollution source monitoring device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The pollution source online monitoring network is the core infrastructure of environmental supervision, and its long-term, stable and high-quality operation is the basis for accurately assessing pollution conditions and implementing supervision responsibilities. With the expansion of the monitoring network and the growth of the service time of the equipment, the traditional operation and maintenance mode which relies on fixed period inspection and post-fault maintenance is increasingly highlighting its limitations. This mode is essentially a passive response, and its decision-making basis is often isolated equipment alarms or simple time threshold, lacking the robustness of the overall data quality of the monitoring network, and the foresight evaluation and global optimization. Therefore, an intelligent self-maintenance system is needed, which can start from the global perspective of the network, actively evaluate the importance of the equipment, predict the maintenance effect and dynamically optimize the decision.

[0003] However, the existing related technologies have the following problems, which cannot meet the above needs: (1) Existing researches mostly focus on using data-driven methods to conduct state early warning or fault diagnosis on a single device, and the optimization target is the reliability of a single device. Such methods fail to evaluate the global impact of the performance decline or data loss of a device on the data integrity and inference ability of the entire monitoring network from the information contribution level, resulting in a lack of scientific basis for network-level allocation of maintenance resources, and possible resource mismatch problems such as "insufficient maintenance of key devices" and "excessive maintenance of secondary devices".

[0004] (2) Although some researches apply information theory (such as value information and mutual information) and matrix completion algorithms to the optimization layout and performance evaluation of sensor networks, their application scenarios are limited to the spatial point design at the initial stage of network construction or the offline evaluation of the static performance of the already deployed network. These methods do not apply the dynamic evaluation of information value and data redundancy, and the pre-evaluation idea of network performance simulation, to the time dimension problem of continuous and dynamic optimization of network operation period maintenance decision-making. Therefore, the current maintenance strategy formulation still heavily relies on historical experience, and cannot quantitatively simulate and compare the network-level effects of different strategies before implementation, lacking the key technical support for upgrading the decision-making from experience-driven to model and simulation-driven. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present application provides a pollution source monitoring device self-maintenance system, which aims to solve the problems of isolated decision-making, unclear effect and lack of predictability in the existing maintenance method.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: The pollution source monitoring equipment self-maintenance system provided by the application comprises a data acquisition and preprocessing module, an equipment value and redundancy evaluation module, a maintenance strategy simulation module, a multi-objective optimization decision module and an execution and verification feedback module.

[0007] Further, the data acquisition and preprocessing module is used for connecting the pollution source monitoring equipment in the monitoring network, collecting and preprocessing the operation data and environmental monitoring data of the monitoring equipment, constructing an original space-time data matrix and providing the original space-time data matrix to the equipment value and redundancy evaluation module. In the data acquisition and preprocessing module, the preprocessing comprises data standardization and coarse noise filtering. The data standardization is to map the operation data and environmental monitoring data of the monitoring equipment to

[0008] Further, the equipment value and redundancy evaluation module is connected to the data acquisition and preprocessing module, calculates the data value index for each monitoring equipment and the data redundancy for each pair of monitoring equipment based on an information theory method, and provides the data value index and the data redundancy to the maintenance strategy simulation module and the multi-objective optimization decision module at the same time.

[0009] Further, the maintenance strategy simulation module receives the candidate maintenance strategies, each of which specifies a set of monitoring equipment to be maintained and a corresponding future maintenance time period, maps each of the candidate maintenance strategies to the original space-time data matrix, the matrix elements of which represent the standardized data of the corresponding monitoring equipment at the corresponding time, marks the data points corresponding to the monitoring equipment to be maintained in the candidate maintenance strategies as high-quality known data points in the future maintenance time period, constructs a known data region, and uses the high-quality known data points in the known data region as the basis to complete and reconstruct the original space-time data matrix by using a non-negative matrix factorization algorithm.

[0010] Further, the multi-objective optimization decision module connects the maintenance strategy simulation module and the equipment value and redundancy evaluation module, establishes and solves a multi-objective optimization model based on the data value index, the data redundancy between equipment, and the pre-evaluation result of efficiency, sets a binary decision variable to represent whether a monitoring equipment is included in the maintenance plan, constructs a three-objective function of maximizing the sum of the data value indexes of the monitoring equipment in maintenance, minimizing the sum of the data redundancy between the monitoring equipment in maintenance, and minimizing the simulation prediction error, sets a constraint condition that the total maintenance cost does not exceed a preset budget, solves the model by using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm to obtain a Pareto optimal solution set, selects an optimal maintenance plan from the solution set according to the current preset budget, and provides the plan to the execution and verification feedback module.

[0011] Further, the execution and verification feedback module connects the multi-objective optimization decision module and the data collection and preprocessing module, receives and issues the optimal maintenance plan, collects actual data of the monitoring network after maintenance as verification data, takes the verification data of the maintained monitoring equipment as known points, infers the data of the un-maintained monitoring equipment by using the matrix completion algorithm again to obtain an inferred data matrix, calculates the root mean square error between the actual verification data of the un-maintained monitoring equipment and the inferred data matrix as an actual effect score after maintenance, compares the actual effect score with the prediction effect score in the pre-evaluation to obtain deviation information, and if the deviation continuously exceeds a preset threshold, feeds the deviation information back to the equipment value and redundancy evaluation module and the multi-objective optimization decision module; the equipment value and redundancy evaluation module adjusts a smoothing parameter of the probability distribution estimation algorithm when calculating the data value index and the redundancy according to the deviation information, and the multi-objective optimization decision module adjusts the weight coefficient of the objective function in the optimization model according to the deviation information, so that the system realizes closed-loop adaptive learning.

[0012] The application further provides a pollution source monitoring equipment self-maintenance method based on information value and matrix completion, which is applied to the system and includes the following steps: Step S1: collection and construction of monitoring network space-time data; Step S2: equipment data value and redundancy evaluation; Step S3: maintenance strategy simulation and effect pre-evaluation; Step S4: multi-objective optimization maintenance decision generation; Step S5: maintenance execution and closed-loop verification.

[0013] The application has the following beneficial effects by using the above scheme: (1) By calculating the data value index (VOI) of each monitoring device and the data redundancy between devices (TE), from the perspective of global data deducibility of the monitoring network, the objective and quantitative evaluation of the importance of device data contribution and its redundancy is realized, which fundamentally solves the technical problems of isolated maintenance decision and unscientific resource allocation in the traditional maintenance mode due to the lack of network global perspective, and provides a core basis for accurate division of maintenance priority.

[0014] (2) By simulating the candidate maintenance strategy as repairing specific device data in the space-time data matrix, and using the matrix completion algorithm to reconstruct the network data, and then calculating the reconstruction error to quantify the pre-evaluation strategy effectiveness, the system can virtually simulate and compare the network-level repair effect of different schemes before actually investing maintenance resources, which solves the technical problem of long-term reliance on experience and difficulty in predicting the effect of maintenance decision, and realizes the paradigm shift from experience-driven to simulation-optimized.

[0015] (3) By constructing a complete closed-loop architecture of "evaluation, simulation, decision, execution, and verification", and introducing a parameter self-adaptive adjustment mechanism based on effect deviation feedback, using the difference between the actual effect data after maintenance and the pre-evaluation result to dynamically correct the internal parameters of the information theory evaluation model and the multi-objective optimization decision model, the system is given continuous self-learning and self-adaptive ability, which solves the technical problem that static models cannot cope with dynamic factors such as device aging and environmental changes, leading to the gradual invalidation of decision strategies, and ensures the decision accuracy and robustness of the system in long-term operation.
