Traditional thermal power plant operation and management mainly rely on decentralized control systems and offline analysis based on fixed thresholds or experience, resulting in the following technical bottlenecks: First, data from each subsystem (such as boiler, turbine, and generator) is isolated, lacking a unified and dynamic correlation model that reflects the continuous conversion of the entire energy process, making it difficult to diagnose the root causes of energy efficiency losses at the system level. Second, there is a lack of quantitative analysis methods for the complex physical and functional coupling relationships between links, often only able to handle single equipment or local problems, unable to identify cross-link collaborative constraints, leading to optimization measures being locally effective but globally suboptimal. Third, existing control strategies are mostly statically set or based on simple feedback, unable to adaptively adjust according to dynamic operating conditions and internal system contradictions, restricting the continuous optimization of the overall energy efficiency of the power plant and the limits of safe and economical operation.

[0026] It should be noted that the device contribution threshold is obtained by averaging the contribution of all devices throughout the entire process of a thermal power plant. The formula for device contribution is: ; in, The contribution of the device to the current stage. The frequency of use of the device in the current stage. This represents the total frequency of all devices in the current stage. For devices The remaining functional capabilities of the component after failure.

The first cross-abnormal point includes independent links where either the cross-device or cross-process is abnormal. The second cross-abnormal point includes independent links where both the cross-device and cross-process are abnormal. If the current energy conversion path contains both the first and second cross-abnormal points, they are marked on the current energy conversion path.

The global efficiency of the thermal power plant includes the final energy conversion efficiency obtained by the thermal power plant according to three different energy conversion paths. At the same time, observation points are set according to the positions of the first intersecting abnormal point, the second intersecting abnormal point, and historical abnormal points to make real-time predictions of the energy path network.

[0032] It should be noted that the local efficiency, global efficiency, first efficiency deviation threshold, second efficiency deviation threshold, abnormal local efficiency deviation, and abnormal global efficiency deviation of a thermal power plant are all confirmed based on two independent links in the thermal power plant where a cross-abnormality point occurs. The first efficiency deviation threshold is determined based on the difference between the maximum and minimum local efficiency of the thermal power plant under normal conditions. The second efficiency deviation threshold is determined based on the difference between the maximum and minimum global efficiency of the thermal power plant under normal conditions. The abnormal local efficiency deviation is the difference between the actual energy conversion efficiency and the historical local efficiency between the two independent links where a cross-abnormality point occurs. The abnormal global efficiency is the difference between the global efficiency of the thermal power plant and the historical global efficiency after a cross-abnormality point occurs. If multiple first cross-abnormalities and second cross-abnormalities occur in the entire process, the abnormal global efficiency deviation is the difference between the current global efficiency of the thermal power plant and the historical global efficiency when multiple first cross-abnormalities and second cross-abnormalities exist simultaneously.

[0033] Based on the locations of the first crossover anomaly point, the second crossover anomaly point, and historical anomalies, observation points are set up to perform real-time prediction of the energy path network. This includes: calculating the probability of anomalies occurring in the energy path network based on the locations of the first crossover anomaly point, the second crossover anomaly point, and historical anomalies; simultaneously, pre-setting observation points for the energy path network; and updating the energy path network in real time. The observation points include actual energy conversion paths of independent chemical-thermal links, independent heat-engine links, and independent electromechanical links. Real-time observation of actual energy conversion paths is conducted, and early warnings and avoidance measures are implemented for energy path networks with high anomaly probabilities. The location of the observation points and the avoidance measures are selected by comparing the magnitude of the anomaly probabilities, where the anomaly probability calculation formula is: ; in, This represents the probability of an anomaly occurring in the current energy conversion path. A set of nodes, including ; This is the normalization constant; Let be the set of outliers, if If it is 1, it means If an anomaly occurs at this location, If it is 0, it means No abnormalities were found at this location; For nodes The nodal potential function, For the edge The edge potential function is used to construct a stack of contradiction points. Based on the probability of occurrence of contradiction points in the energy path network, the sequence of contradiction points in the energy path network is obtained. The data in the contradiction point sequence are pushed onto the stack in ascending order. The time interval between the start of chemical energy conversion at the thermal power plant is used as the refresh cycle of the contradiction point sequence. After each refresh cycle, the contradiction point sequence stack is popped. The node where the popped contradiction point data is located is the specific location of the observation point. The thermal power plant is given an early warning based on the location of the observation point and the probability of occurrence of anomalies.

[0034] It should be noted that if the sequence of contradictions is pushed onto the stack in ascending order, the top element of the stack will be the largest data in the sequence of contradictions. After each refresh cycle, the top element of the stack will be popped and the sequence of contradictions will be refreshed. In the current refresh cycle, the top element of the stack will be used as the observation point. The next cycle will perform the same operation, and the position of the observation point will be refreshed according to the refresh cycle. and The specific implementation method is to calculate and obtain the potential function through the node potential function and the edge potential function, wherein the formula for the node potential function is: ; in, and The adjustable weighting parameters are obtained through cross-coupling degree and local efficiency deviation. The historical average cross-coupling degree The standard deviation of cross-coupling. This represents the local efficiency deviation of the node. This represents the historical average of local efficiency deviations. Let be the standard deviation of the local efficiency deviation; where the boundary potential function is: ; in, For the edge The weights between them For nodes and The interaction coefficient between them is obtained by preset using historical data. Specifically, the value of the interaction coefficient is preset to 0.5. Two types of anomalies are marked in the energy path network. A preset time range is used to obtain the number of times the two types of anomalies appear on each energy conversion path within the current time range. Specifically, the preset time range is 30 days. Based on the observation points of the energy path network, the number of anomalies appearing in each independent link of the energy path network within 30 days is observed in real time, including the number of first cross anomalies and the number of second cross anomalies. At the same time, the historical average number of first cross anomalies and the historical average number of second cross anomalies of each energy conversion path are compared. The probability of anomalies in the energy path network is obtained by calculating the ratio of the number of first cross anomalies to the historical average number of first cross anomalies.

[0035] Based on the average local efficiency deviation and average global efficiency deviation of the thermal power plant, dynamic compensation calibration and control avoidance are performed on the abnormal local efficiency and abnormal global efficiency at two cross-abnormal points. This also includes: adjusting the values ​​of the abnormal local efficiency deviation and abnormal global efficiency deviation to the deviation range specified by the average local efficiency deviation and average global efficiency deviation, respectively, while observing the change in the coupling degree formula to generate an instruction set for the energy path network and physical devices, and controlling the thermal power plant through the dynamic calibration instructions.

[0036] It should be noted that, based on historical data, the initial values ​​of the first and second deviation thresholds are determined by the statistical characteristics of efficiency fluctuations under stable operating conditions. These values ​​are then adjusted according to the equipment's aging and maintenance cycle to obtain the final values ​​of the first and second deviation thresholds. Adjustments are made based on changes in other independent variables in the coupling formula, such as the actual temperature and pressure inside the boiler in the independent thermal link. The specific method for generating the instruction set involves receiving efficiency deviation signals and anomaly information as input, simulating different control actions to change the independent variables in the formula, such as regulating valve opening, pump speed, and set temperature, and assessing their impact on network edge weights. By continuously optimizing the control actions, the optimal combination of control variables is found that allows the deviation value to decrease to the threshold range most quickly and stably. After the instructions are executed, the system monitors new efficiency and coupling data in real time through preset observation points to verify the calibration effect.
