Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of smart environmental protection technology, specifically relating to a method and system for predicting parameters of supercritical circulating fluidized bed boilers based on attention-guided fuzzy fusion, which is applicable to the prediction of key parameters of supercritical circulating fluidized bed boilers in time series. Background Technology

[0002] Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustion technology occupies a central position in modern thermal power generation systems due to its advantages such as strong fuel adaptability, high combustion efficiency, and low pollutant emissions. Accurate prediction of key combustion-related variables is not only crucial for operational optimization but also a core prerequisite for ensuring the stable, reliable, and low-emission operation of the power generation system.

[0003] With the continuous improvement of industrial process control, energy system operation, and complex equipment condition monitoring, key parameter prediction based on time series data is playing an increasingly important role in safe operation, energy efficiency optimization, and intelligent decision-making. Industrial objects, such as large generator sets, chemical plants, and complex energy systems, often exhibit operating states that are multivariable, strongly coupled, nonlinear, and non-stationary time series data, placing high demands on the modeling capabilities and robustness of prediction models.

[0004] In practical engineering applications, industrial time series typically contain both rapid dynamic changes at short timescales and slow evolutionary trends at long timescales. The physical processes and operating mechanisms reflected at different timescales differ significantly, making it difficult for single-timescale modeling methods to fully characterize the system's true dynamic behavior. Therefore, in recent years, multi-scale time series forecasting methods have gained increasing attention. These methods introduce data representations with different time resolutions to provide forecasting models with multi-perspective temporal information.

[0005] However, multi-scale time series prediction still faces many challenges: on the one hand, there are significant differences in sequence length, temporal resolution and information density between different time scales, and direct fusion can easily introduce redundant or conflicting information; on the other hand, the system's dependence on information at each time scale is not fixed at different stages of operation, and if the model cannot adaptively adjust the importance of features at each scale, the prediction accuracy and stability will be limited.

[0006] To address the above problems, existing technologies mainly focus on the following categories of methods: (1) Time series prediction methods based on statistical models or traditional machine learning. These methods usually rely on fixed time windows or manually constructed features for modeling, and have limited ability to characterize time dependencies, making it difficult to capture both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends simultaneously; when facing multi-scale time series, it is often necessary to manually set feature combination rules, resulting in insufficient model generalization ability. (2) Sequence modeling methods based on deep learning. Recurrent neural networks, long short-term memory networks and their variants can model time dependencies to a certain extent, but their ability to model long sequences is limited, and in multi-scale scenarios, they usually use simple splicing or weighting to fuse features of different scales, making it difficult to fully explore the complex relationships between scales. (3) Time series prediction methods based on attention mechanisms. In recent years, the Transformer structure has achieved certain results in time series modeling with its self-attention mechanism, and can achieve adaptive information aggregation between time positions through attention weights. However, most existing methods focus on time dependency modeling within a single time scale, and are insufficient in characterizing the global correlation between different time scales. Although some multi-scale Transformer methods introduce cross-scale modeling mechanisms, they often fail to distinguish between local dependencies within a scale and global dependencies between scales, resulting in insufficient multi-scale feature interactions.

[0007] Furthermore, existing multi-scale attention methods generally share a common problem: the lack of an explicit modeling mechanism for the predictive reliability of features at different scales. In actual operation, features at different time scales are affected to varying degrees by noise interference, missing data, or changes in operating conditions, resulting in significant uncertainty in their contribution to the prediction results. Existing methods typically employ fixed weights or implicit weighting based on attention scores for fusion, which fails to accurately reflect the reliability of features at each scale in the current prediction task and is prone to amplifying errors when there is conflict in multi-scale information.

[0008] To introduce uncertainty modeling capabilities, some studies have attempted to correct prediction results using probabilistic modeling or simple fuzzy logic methods. However, these methods mostly focus on output layer adjustments and fail to deeply integrate attention representations of the feature layer for collaborative modeling, making it difficult to characterize the nonlinear interaction relationships between multi-scale features.

[0009] In summary, existing time series prediction methods still have the following shortcomings in multi-scale scenarios: First, they fail to simultaneously consider local time dependency modeling within a scale and global dependency modeling between scales; second, they lack an explicit quantification mechanism for the reliability of multi-scale feature prediction; and third, the multi-scale feature fusion methods are mostly linear or weakly nonlinear, making it difficult to express the cooperative, redundant, and complementary relationships between scales.

[0010] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a prediction method that can jointly model intra-scale and inter-scale time dependencies in multi-scale time series prediction and adaptively evaluate the reliability of features at each scale, thereby achieving nonlinear fusion of multi-scale features to improve prediction accuracy, stability and adaptability to complex dynamic conditions.

[0033] Example 1 This invention provides a method for predicting parameters of a supercritical circulating fluidized bed boiler based on attention-guided fuzzy fusion, comprising: The time series of operating parameters of the collected circulating fluidized bed boiler unit are divided into multiple scales and embedded with features to obtain the feature representations corresponding to each scale. Based on the aforementioned feature representation, a dual attention mechanism is employed to obtain local temporal-dependent features and cross-scale attention features; Based on the local time-dependent features and the cross-scale attention features, an attention interaction mechanism and a feature encoding network are used to evaluate reliability and obtain confidence parameters and fuzziness measures. Based on the confidence parameter and the fuzzy measure value, a nonlinear fusion method based on fuzzy measure is used to obtain the fused feature representation; Based on the fusion feature representation, time series prediction results of the operating parameters of the circulating fluidized bed boiler unit are obtained.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific implementation process of the present invention is as follows: This invention proposes an attention-guided fuzzy multi-scale Transformer framework for time series prediction. This framework employs a dual-attention mechanism consisting of intra-temporal attention and cross-scale attention to jointly capture fine-grained local temporal dependencies within a single scale and coarse-grained global dependencies between heterogeneous time scales. Based on attention-enhanced representations, this invention introduces an attention-guided confidence estimation method to quantify the reliability of scale-specific features. Subsequently, these confidence cues are integrated into a fuzzy fusion strategy based on learned fuzzy measures and Choquet integrals, achieving adaptive nonlinear aggregation of multi-scale information to complete the prediction task. The following describes the process in two steps: A. Dual attention mechanism for multi-scale temporal modeling 1) Multi-scale partitioning: Based on the multi-scale partitioning input defined in formula (1), each scale-specific sequence is generated. The features are independently projected into the latent feature space, i.e., feature embedding is performed, which is represented as: (14) in, The parameter matrix is ​​a learnable embedding layer that projects the input features to... A 3D latent space. The resulting feature representations. While encoding the original observations into a shared latent space, the time scale is preserved. Time resolution .

[0035] To facilitate attention-based interaction and fusion across different timescales, this invention further introduces a time alignment step, projecting scale-specific representations onto a unified standard space. Specifically, each embedded representation is linearly projected along the time dimension to a space of dimension 1. Public extended space: (15) in, This is a learnable temporal projection matrix shared across all scales. The resulting feature representation... Aligning scale-specific representations to a unified standard time space enables consistent attention-based interactions across heterogeneous timescales.

[0036] 2) Intra-scale attention mechanism: Local dependency modeling The intra-scale temporal attention module aims to independently model fine-grained, short-term temporal dependencies within each timescale. Since the attention mechanism operates in a self-attention manner within a single scale, all attention computations are restricted to the embedding sequence corresponding to that scale.

[0037] The feature representation after feature alignment is defined in Equation (15). As a common input source for the projection of queries, keys, and values. Following the standard self-attention form shown in Equation (4), the projection of intra-scale temporal attention is calculated as follows: (16) in, This is a learnable projection matrix specific to the intra-scale temporal attention module. Accordingly, All located in In space.

[0038] According to equations (5)-(6), the scaling dot product self-attention output at each scale can be calculated as follows: (17) Among them, the attention mechanism enables each time step to selectively aggregate information from other time locations within the same scale.

[0039] Following the multi-head attention modeling approach in equation (7), the outputs of all attention heads are concatenated and linearly transformed to obtain the final intra-scale temporal attention representation: (18) in This is the learnable output projection matrix. The calculated... By achieving effective information aggregation at each time scale, locally enhanced temporal feature representations are captured.

[0040] 3) Cross-scale attention mechanism: global dependency modeling To capture global dependencies and interactions across different time scales, this invention introduces a cross-scale attention module that operates on scale-level representations.

[0041] According to the input time series defined in equation (1) This invention first projects it onto a unified latent feature space through a linear transformation: (19) in It is a learnable projection matrix. The projection results in... While maintaining the original temporal resolution, the original observations are embedded into a semantically aligned feature space.

[0042] based on The query, key, and value matrix is ​​calculated as follows: (20) in, It is a learnable projection matrix.

[0043] Finally, the global attention output across scales is calculated as follows: (twenty one) B. Attention-guided fuzzy fusion While the proposed dual-attention mechanism enables adaptive feature selection across time dimensions and scales, it does not explicitly quantify the reliability of representations at specific scales. To address this limitation, this invention proposes an attention-guided fuzzy fusion strategy: treating scale confidence as a reference and modeling its relative importance using learned fuzzy measures. The final fusion process borrows from the Choquet fuzzy integral form to achieve nonlinear interaction between multi-scale representations.

[0044] For each time scale This invention first introduces cross-scale attention as a global modulation factor, and interacts with the attention head element-wise within the corresponding time period: (twenty two) in, Used to characterize the fine-grained consistency between scale-specific attention and global attention.

[0045] The original attention features and their interactions are then concatenated and input into the residual block for joint encoding: (twenty three) (twenty four) in This indicates the residual coding module. For parameters The controllable learnable nonlinear transformation is specifically implemented by stacked convolutional layers and their associated normalization and activation functions. This represents the residual encoding depth feature at the i-th time scale. This represents the comprehensive splicing features at the i-th time scale.

[0046] Based on the encoded representation, a further evidence function is learned to quantize the first... Confidence level at each time scale: (25) in, Representing encoded features To confidence parameter The mapping function, This represents the convolutional projection operator used to aggregate channel-level information. This represents a global pooling operation used to aggregate spatial features. For the first i A confidence parameter for reliability at each time scale, used to reflect the time scale. Overall reliability of temporal attention representations at lower scales.

[0047] At the same time, this invention learns a single-element fuzzy measure to characterize the relative importance at different time scales: (26) in, This represents the sigmoid function. Representing encoded features To single-element fuzzy measure The mapping function.

[0048] Finally, the confidence-aware time-scale representation is fused using Choquet fuzzy integrals: (27) in, This indicates the number of rows after sorting in descending order of confidence level. i Each scale weight, is a virtual confidence parameter, with a fixed value of 0, used to simplify Choquet fuzzy integral calculation; M represents the total number of time scales for multi-scale input. This represents the fuzzy measure value of the set formed by the first i time scales after sorting in descending order of confidence parameters.

[0049] Based on the fused reliability-aware representation, the final prediction sequence is obtained as follows: (28) in, For time series prediction results, This represents a prediction network used to map fused features to a target prediction space. This is a local time-dependent feature.

[0050] In summary, this invention discloses a multi-scale time series prediction method for key parameters of supercritical circulating fluidized bed boilers based on attention-guided fuzzy fusion, applicable to the prediction of operating parameters such as bed temperature, power generation, and steam flow rate of 350MW supercritical circulating fluidized bed units. This method first divides the unit's operating time series into multiple scales and embeds features, then maps features from different time scales to a unified, standardized time space through time alignment. Subsequently, it performs intra-scale attention modeling within each time scale to extract local time-dependent features, and obtains global correlations between different time scales through cross-scale attention modeling. 。 Building upon this foundation, an attention interaction mechanism and a feature encoding network are introduced to evaluate the reliability of multi-scale features (acquired local time-dependent features and cross-scale attention features), generating confidence parameters and fuzzy measure values ​​corresponding to each time scale. Furthermore, a nonlinear fusion method based on fuzzy measure is employed to fuse the multi-scale features, obtaining a fused feature representation, and outputting the predicted results of the unit's operating parameters accordingly. This invention can comprehensively characterize the dynamic characteristics of circulating fluidized bed units at multiple time scales during operation, improving the accuracy and robustness of bed temperature, power generation, and steam flow prediction, providing technical support for unit operation optimization and safety control.

[0051] Example 2 This embodiment uses specific experimental data to illustrate the specific implementation process and effects of the method described in the foregoing embodiments.

This dataset contains 60,000 samples recorded from the plant's distributed control system (DCS), with a fixed sampling interval of 10 seconds. The data covers various operating conditions, including load changes, fuel characteristic fluctuations, and routine disturbances, realistically reflecting the actual operating dynamics of the CFB boiler. The input vector contains 12 key operating variables related to the combustion and heat transfer processes, while the output vector corresponds to three key performance indicators: bed temperature, steam pressure, and power output. All variables are time-synchronized. An input matrix is ​​constructed. Output matrix To maintain temporal causality and avoid information leakage, the dataset was divided into a training set (70%), a validation set (10%), and a test set (20%) in chronological order.

[0053] This invention conducts multi-time-domain prediction experiments on three core operating parameters—bed temperature, steam flow rate, and unit load—using actual operating datasets of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers. The core evaluation indicators are the mean absolute error (MAE, with lower values ​​indicating higher accuracy) and the root mean square error (RMSE, with lower values ​​indicating higher accuracy). Experimental results show that the model of this invention achieves high-precision predictions in all prediction time domains. The core accuracy data are as follows: Bed temperature (unit: °C): 1-step short-term forecast MAE is 0.62, RMSE is 0.95; 24-step medium-term forecast MAE is 2.33, RMSE is 3.36; 48-step medium-to-long-term forecast MAE is 3.97, RMSE is 5.96; Steam flow rate (unit: kg / s): 1-step short-term forecast MAE is 2.65, RMSE is 4.25; 24-step medium-term forecast MAE is 8.50, RMSE is 14.74; 48-step medium-to-long-term forecast MAE is 13.60, RMSE is 25.75; Unit load (unit: MW): 1-step short-term forecast MAE is 0.70, RMSE is 1.25; 24-step medium-term forecast MAE is 2.07, RMSE is 3.96; 48-step medium-to-long-term forecast MAE is 3.46, RMSE is 7.21.
