Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of soft measurement modeling and application in chemical processes, specifically involving a real-time estimation method for key parameters in a natural gas-to-hydrogen process based on a semi-supervised robust hybrid echo state network model. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen energy, as a clean energy source with zero carbon emissions and diverse applications, is an ideal energy storage medium for achieving a low-carbon transformation of the energy system. The main hydrogen production technologies fall into four categories: (1) hydrogen production from fossil fuel reforming; (2) hydrogen produced from industrial by-products; (3) hydrogen production from water electrolysis; and (4) hydrogen production from clean energy sources. Currently, over 90% of large-scale industrial hydrogen production worldwide primarily utilizes fossil fuel reforming, and over 50% of these reforming processes use natural gas as the raw material. The natural gas hydrogen production process includes four parts: raw material purification, steam reforming, medium-temperature conversion, and pressure swing adsorption. In this process, CH4, CO, CO2, and H2 are the main process gases. The concentrations of these gases are closely related to product quality and are key parameters in the hydrogen production process. Failure to accurately measure these variables in real time will lead to a decline in system control performance, resulting in significant production losses and even safety hazards. Therefore, accurate real-time measurement of these gas concentrations and reasonable adjustment of system operating parameters are crucial for ensuring efficient, stable, and safe operation of the hydrogen production process.
[0003] Currently, the measurement of key parameters in the hydrogen production process mainly relies on two methods: offline laboratory analysis and online mass spectrometry. Offline laboratory analysis yields relatively accurate results, but its measurement cycle is long, typically several hours or even days, making it unsuitable for measuring key parameters in hydrogen production. Using mass spectrometry to measure these gas concentrations can shorten the measurement cycle and obtain results more quickly, but mass spectrometers suffer from accuracy drift, are expensive, and require frequent calibration and maintenance, significantly increasing the production cost of hydrogen production. Establishing a data-driven model for key parameters is an ideal way to solve these problems. By establishing a mathematical prediction model, using easily measurable parameters (temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.) as input and the output of the model for the key parameters to be estimated, real-time prediction of key parameters can be achieved, effectively compensating for the shortcomings of laboratory analysis and online mass spectrometry measurement.
[0004] However, the frequent changes in feedstock sources in natural gas-to-hydrogen processes, along with factors such as feed intervals and external disturbances, affect the hydrogen production process, making it difficult to maintain the set steady-state operating point. The collected hydrogen production process data exhibits significant dynamic characteristics. Furthermore, due to noise, sensor malfunctions, storage device failures, and human interference, the collected hydrogen production process data often contains outliers. Additionally, due to the complexity of the reaction, the production process data also exhibits strong nonlinearity. Moreover, because mass spectrometer measurement cycles are long and the number of labeled samples (i.e., samples with known key parameters) is small, traditional supervised modeling methods struggle to obtain accurate model parameters due to overlearning or underlearning.
[0005] Therefore, researching and developing data-driven models for key parameters in the natural gas hydrogen production process that can simultaneously address issues such as the dynamics, outliers, strong nonlinearity, and scarcity of labeled samples in the natural gas hydrogen production process will help the hydrogen production industry to more effectively schedule production, improve production efficiency, and use real-time predictive data to guide production decisions. It can also predict trends in product quality, adjust production parameters in a timely manner, and maintain product quality stability. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a real-time estimation method for key parameters in the natural gas-to-hydrogen process based on a semi-supervised robust hybrid echo state network model. Specifically, to address issues of dynamics and strong nonlinearity, this invention utilizes an echo state network model to capture dynamics, while employing a "divide and conquer" approach by using multiple local echo state network models to simulate nonlinear characteristics. To address the scarcity of labeled samples, a semi-supervised strategy is adopted, combining a probabilistic model with both labeled and unlabeled samples for model training. For outliers, the normal distribution of the random variables in the probabilistic model is changed to a Student's t-distribution, thus exhibiting a long-tail effect and increasing model robustness. Furthermore, a training method based on variational inference is developed to adaptively determine the important regularization parameters for each echo state network.

Following step 7, models were established and estimated for different key parameters. The estimation results for each key parameter are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Meanwhile, Figure 3 The estimation results of key parameters by the Gaussian mixture echo state network model are presented. It can be seen that, due to the identification of outliers containing valid information as noise, the Gaussian mixture echo state network model does not predict the true values as accurately as the method provided in this invention.
