Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent control technology, and in particular to an intelligent control method and system suitable for microwave plasma treatment of SF6 waste gas. Background Technology
[0002] SF6 has extremely high chemical stability and extremely low ionization energy, making it extremely difficult to decompose in the natural environment. It has become a key target in greenhouse gas control. To improve treatment efficiency, microwave plasma technology has attracted attention because it can achieve high-energy electron-molecule collision decomposition at normal pressure. This technology uses a microwave field to excite plasma in the reaction chamber and decomposes SF6 into low-fluoride compounds and fluorine free radicals through high temperature and high-energy electron action. Existing microwave plasma reaction systems often suffer from complex reaction product structures and byproducts such as OF2, SO2, and F2, which are toxic and corrosive. This not only reduces decomposition efficiency but may also damage the cavity walls and electrodes. Current SF6 treatment ignores the multi-scale fading effect of the microwave propagation path, resulting in strong spatial non-uniformity in power distribution. This leads to local overheated reaction zones becoming byproduct accumulation points. Furthermore, it fails to reflect the complex relationship between gas flow rate, temperature gradient, and reaction rate over time, amplifying prediction errors and making it impossible to suppress byproduct formation in its early stages, thus hindering coordinated optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0034] By constructing the particle balance equation of the reaction chamber, the energy balance equation of the gas inlet, and the material balance equation of the gas outlet, the system forms a closed-loop feedback at the level of microscopic particles and energy transfer. Through this coupling, the generation, consumption, and energy evolution of SF6 can be described simultaneously, and the dynamic consistency of concentration and temperature can be obtained. By synchronously updating particle concentration and energy density under Euler time discretization, a bivariate evolution with consistent time scale is achieved, enabling concentration changes to reflect differences in energy input in real time, thus solving the prediction lag problem caused by the asynchronous evolution of energy and matter in previous models. By introducing the Euclidean distance between the receiving point and the microwave source to establish a spatial coupling relationship, and combining the free space path loss and small-scale fading model, the local microwave field strength distribution in the reaction chamber is obtained. Through this spatial modeling, the non-uniformity of energy distribution and SF6 decomposition interval in the reaction chamber can be corrected in real time. By calculating the comprehensive attenuation coefficient, random fluctuations and physical propagation conditions are considered simultaneously, enabling the system to accurately reflect microwave transmission characteristics under different operating conditions and achieve adaptive compensation for complex electromagnetic environments.

[0053] By establishing a proportional constant relationship between the received signal strength and historical transmit power data, the system can automatically calculate the power of the external source without external calibration, thereby achieving adaptive calibration and closed-loop calibration of microwave energy input. By coupling gas density, isobaric specific heat capacity, and heat loss power density through the energy conservation equation, temperature changes can truly reflect the dynamic balance between energy input and dissipation, thereby ensuring thermodynamic consistency in subsequent concentration predictions. By jointly constructing a neural ODE model using particle balance equations and energy balance equations, the reaction system can simultaneously learn chemical reaction kinetics and energy evolution characteristics, achieving a unified dynamic description of concentration and energy. By incorporating the gas inflow and outflow rates with the SF6 concentration into a convection term and introducing the net reaction rate, the model can not only describe the generation and consumption within the reaction zone, but also capture the transregional transport effects, thus avoiding local prediction bias. By constructing the right-hand side function by combining the linear regression residual term with the convection term and the net reaction rate, a dual correction based on physical constraints and data-driven approaches is achieved, making the model both interpretable and adaptive. By using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta integral algorithm on the right-hand function, the concentration prediction achieves high-order stability and accuracy in numerical terms, avoiding the oscillation error of the Euler integral in the highly nonlinear region.
[0054] S3, based on the Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) model, defines the agent parameters and action space that the intelligent agent is responsible for regulating. It uses the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm to update the agent parameters and calculate rewards. Combined with the neural ODE model, it uses the centralized critic algorithm to calculate the temporal difference error and iteratively update the action space parameters. Preferably, based on Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), the intelligent agent is responsible for regulating the agent parameters and action space. The Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm is used to update the agent parameters, including: Based on the Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithm, the agent parameters that the intelligent agent is responsible for regulating are defined, including controlling microwave power, controlling gas flow rate, and controlling SF6 concentration stability. The state space of the agent parameters is defined, including microwave power, temperature, concentration, and gas flow rate. The action space is defined, including the adjustment amount of microwave power and the change amount of gas flow rate. The safety boundary is determined based on historical experience. The Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm is selected for training. State updates are performed based on the agent parameters, and rewards are calculated according to the concentration error, as shown below:
[0055]

[0058]
[0059]
[0060] in, This represents the reward value at time t. This indicates the normalized SF6 concentration error. Indicates energy consumption weight.

This represents the security penalty value. This represents the historical mean of the error in the normalized SF6 concentration. This represents the normalized historical mean of microwave power.
[0061] By decomposing the multi-agent task into three controllable agents—"power, flow rate, and concentration stability"—and sharing a global reward that includes temperature and concentration safety factors, each agent is forced to be responsible for the overall system constraints while optimizing its own channel, thus reducing mutual interference and oscillations caused by local optimization. By adopting a deterministic strategy of DDPG to output continuous actions (power adjustment amount, flow rate change amount), it directly matches the continuously adjustable characteristics of the physical actuator, avoiding the quantization error caused by discretization and the thermal shock caused by frequent switching; By sharing key states and global rewards among multiple agents while each agent executes local actions, it is possible to track operating condition drift, feed fluctuations and changes in ambient temperature, thereby reducing the frequency of manual recalibration. Through a centralized commentator algorithm, the intelligent system can simultaneously consider multiple factors such as SF6 concentration, temperature, flow rate, and energy consumption. When it detects a side reaction trend indicated by the prediction model, it automatically adjusts the microwave power distribution and air intake flow rate to actively regulate the energy and material transport in the reaction zone, keeping the reaction in the main decomposition channel. This not only reduces the probability of byproduct formation but also pre-lowers the local energy density before side reactions occur, thereby maintaining high decomposition efficiency and high purity during dynamic operation.
[0062] Furthermore, a centralized commentator algorithm is employed to calculate the temporal difference error and iteratively update the action space parameters, including: The agent's policy network is input with agent parameters and action space, and SF6 concentration and temperature data are determined by inputting a neural ODE model. Rewards are calculated promptly. A centralized critic algorithm is used, and the temporal difference error is calculated based on a quadruple formed from agent parameters and action space parameters, expressed as:
[0063]
[0064] in, Indicates timing difference error. Indicates the discount factor. The expected return on investment can be determined based on historical experience using the ratio of SF6 flow rate to the effective volume of the reaction chamber, i.e., the engineering magnitude of the residence time. The Critic function represents the critic. and Let these represent the proxy parameters and action space parameter vectors for the next time step, respectively. and These represent the current agent parameter and action space parameter vectors, respectively. Gradient descent calculation is performed with the goal of minimizing the mean square error. The surrogate parameters and action space parameters are updated. When the average concentration error is less than or equal to the convergence threshold (determined based on historical experience), the update of the output action space parameters is stopped as the optimal control strategy. The output-based optimal control strategy includes action space parameters, namely the adjustment amount of microwave power and the change amount of gas flow rate. The parameters are adjusted by controlling the actuator as an indication. The microwave treatment cavity for SF6 waste gas treatment is adjusted. The control of the microwave power adjustment amount can deal with possible heat accumulation effects or by-product generation. The control of the change amount of gas flow rate can allow SF6 to have an appropriate residence time in the reaction zone, so as to fully decompose and improve the final decomposition rate. By coupling the input of the agent policy network with the SF6 concentration and temperature data output by the neural ODE model in real time, the state information of reinforcement learning not only contains controllable quantities, but also dynamically reflects the actual evolution of the response system, thereby making the policy training process physically consistent and real-time. By using agent parameters and action parameters as a quadruple input in a centralized commentator structure, the commentator can simultaneously evaluate the interaction between multiple agents when calculating the temporal difference error. This allows each agent to consider the overall collaborative performance of the system when updating its own policy, thus avoiding policy conflicts caused by traditional decentralized training. By introducing a discount factor and expected process return into the error calculation, the learning process can simultaneously take into account short-term response stability and long-term energy consumption optimization, forming a dynamic balance at the time level and improving the energy efficiency and stability of the strategy under continuous operation.
