Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermal power plant thermal technology, and relates to an intelligent ammonia addition control method and system for a water-steam system based on computational pH. Background Technology
[0002] In thermal power plant systems, adding ammonia to feedwater is a widely used and essential method for inhibiting metal corrosion and ensuring the safe and economical operation of thermal equipment. Ammonia effectively slows down flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) in the feedwater system and water-cooled wall tubes by adjusting the pH value of the steam and water, reducing the total iron content of corrosion products, thereby preventing scaling on the water-cooled walls and corrosion failure of thermal equipment. Under complex operating conditions such as deep peak shaving in supercritical units, precise and real-time dynamic control of the ammonia dosage is even more crucial.
[0003] Currently, existing methods for controlling ammonia addition to water vapor systems have the following main technical shortcomings: 1) pH measurement depends on electrodes, resulting in insufficient accuracy and stability: Traditional online pH meters are affected by various factors such as solution resistance, flow rate, temperature, and glass electrode aging, resulting in large measurement lag and easy deviation. This leads to inaccurate feedback reference for ammonia addition closed-loop control, making it difficult to achieve accurate closed-loop control.
[0004] 2) Parameter optimization relies on human experience and is not capable of coping with changes in unit load: The existing automatic ammonia addition system mainly relies on fixed PID parameters for control, which cannot adjust the control parameters in real time according to dynamic operating conditions such as changes in unit load and water quality fluctuations. It is difficult to meet the flexible control requirements under complex operating conditions such as deep peak shaving.
[0005] 3) The control strategy is singular and lacks multi-parameter coordination and prediction capabilities: Existing systems usually only rely on single-point pH or conductivity measurements for feedback adjustment. The feedback signal lags behind the actual water quality changes and has not yet integrated the ability to coordinate and predict trends of multiple parameters such as conductivity, hydrogen conductivity, pH, and ammonia content.
[0006] Current improved technologies exist, such as CN119597039A, which proposes a device to control ammonia addition based on pH calculation using conductivity and hydrogen conductivity, realizing the basic principle of closed-loop control. However, its control strategy is still mainly based on single-parameter feedback, lacks dynamic prediction capabilities for on-site load changes, and has not achieved deep integration with unit operating conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an intelligent ammonia addition control method and system based on multi-parameter collaborative sensing, data-driven feedforward prediction, and adaptive closed-loop regulation to achieve precise ammonia addition control across all operating conditions and the entire process. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an intelligent ammonia addition control method and system for water vapor systems based on computational pH. This method and system can achieve precise ammonia addition control under all operating conditions and throughout the entire process, solving the problems of low accuracy, insufficient stability, and slow response to load changes in existing ammonia addition feedback control.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this invention discloses an intelligent ammonia addition control method for a water vapor system based on computational pH, comprising: Obtain the electrical conductivity, hydrogen conductivity, and temperature of the water sample; The conductivity of the feedwater is corrected by the temperature of the feedwater to obtain the modified conductivity. The pH value of the feedwater and the ammonia content of the current water vapor system are calculated based on the modified conductivity and hydrogen conductivity of the water sample. The historical time series data of the unit is obtained, and the dynamic feedforward compensation amount u_FF(t) is predicted based on the historical time series data of the unit, the pH value of the feedwater and the current ammonia content of the water-steam system. The control output u(t) is calculated based on the dynamic feedforward compensation amount u_FF(t); The ammonia addition control of the water-steam system is performed based on the control output u(t).
[0009] Furthermore, an online monitoring unit is installed on the water supply pipeline or condensate pipeline after the dosing point. The online monitoring unit includes at least a conductivity electrode, an automatic electro-regenerated cation exchange device, and a hydrogen conductivity electrode to continuously acquire the conductivity, hydrogen conductivity, and temperature of the water sample, respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, based on the unit's historical time series data, the pH value of the feedwater, and the current ammonia content of the water-steam system, the dynamic feedforward compensation amount u_FF(t) is predicted using a vector autoregression (VAR) model or a long short-term memory network (LSTM) time series prediction model.
[0011] Furthermore, based on the dynamic feedforward compensation amount u_FF(t), the control output amount u(t) is calculated by the feedforward-feedback composite controller.
[0012] Furthermore, the expression for the control output u(t) is: u(t)=u_FF(t)+Kp·e(t)+Ki·∫e(t)dt+Kd·de(t) / dt (2) Where Kp, Ki, and Kd are PID parameters.
[0013] Furthermore, when the calculated pH value deviates from the target pH value by |e(t)| beyond the dead zone, the PID parameters are automatically switched according to the sign and magnitude of the deviation.
[0014] Furthermore, when an abnormal increase in conductivity or rapid fluctuation in hydrogen conductivity is detected, a temporary enhancement factor k_add (e.g., 0.8~1.2) is generated, and the control output u(t) is corrected using the temporary enhancement factor k_add.
[0015] This invention discloses an intelligent ammonia addition control system for a water vapor system based on computational pH, comprising: The acquisition module is used to acquire the conductivity, hydrogen conductivity, and temperature of the water sample. The calculation module is used to correct the conductivity of the feedwater using the temperature of the feedwater to obtain the modified conductivity, and to calculate the pH value of the feedwater and the ammonia content of the current water vapor system based on the modified conductivity and hydrogen conductivity of the water sample. The prediction module is used to acquire the historical time series data of the unit and predict the dynamic feedforward compensation amount u_FF(t) based on the historical time series data of the unit, the pH value of the feedwater and the ammonia content of the current water-steam system. The calculation module is used to calculate the control output u(t) based on the dynamic feedforward compensation amount u_FF(t); The control module is used to control the ammonia addition to the water-steam system according to the control output u(t).

Furthermore, those skilled in the art can design regions / layers with different shapes, sizes, and relative positions as needed.
[0029] Example 1 refer to Figure 1 The intelligent ammonia addition control method for a water vapor system based on computational pH as described in this invention includes the following steps: 1) Install an online monitoring unit on the water supply pipeline or condensate pipeline after the dosing point. The online monitoring unit shall include at least a conductivity electrode, an automatic electro-regenerated cation exchange device, and a hydrogen conductivity electrode to continuously acquire the conductivity (S), hydrogen conductivity (CC), and temperature (T) signals of the water sample.
[0030] The system collects the aforementioned sensor data in real time at a frequency of up to 1Hz and integrates the signals into a field programmable logic controller (PLC) or distributed control system (DCS) to form a multi-dimensional data stream with timestamps.
[0031] 2) Based on the law of independent ion movement and the physical relationship model between the conductivity and pH value of ammonia solution, as shown in Equation (1), the control unit automatically calculates the pH value of the water supply by using the real-time collected conductivity (S) and hydrogen conductivity (CC).
[0032] pH=-lg(Ksp)+lg(K / 271.4)=8.56639+lg(K)(1) Where K is the conductivity of ammonia-containing pure water.
[0033] The system incorporates a temperature compensation module that, based on a pre-established conductivity-temperature nonlinear compensation model, corrects the measured raw conductivity signal in real time, eliminating errors introduced by temperature fluctuations. Simultaneously, the system can calculate the ammonia content (NH3) of the current water vapor system in parallel, enabling pH-coordinated monitoring.
[0034] 3) Set up an edge computing gateway on the upper layer of PLC / DCS and run a vector autoregression (VAR) model or a long short-term memory network (LSTM) time series prediction model based on machine learning. The model uses historical time series data such as unit load (L), feedwater flow (F) and condensate flow (Q) within the cycle, as well as real-time calculated pH value and ammonia content as input features.
[0035] After offline training (using a backpropagation algorithm based on historical running data), the model is used for online inference to predict the pH value change trend in advance for the next 1 to 10 minutes, thus obtaining the dynamic feedforward compensation amount u_FF(t).
[0036] 4) The core layer of the control system executes variable-gain PID control based on conductivity-pH dual feedback, incorporating fuzzy logic or RBF neural networks to achieve online self-tuning of PID parameters (Kp, Ki, Kd). The core processing logic is as follows: Set the target pH control range (e.g., feedwater pH = 9.0-9.5, condensate pH = 8.8-9.3), and design the expression for the control output u(t) after being solved by the feedforward-feedback composite controller as follows: u(t)=u_FF(t)+Kp·e(t)+Ki·∫e(t)dt+Kd·de(t) / dt (2) Where u_FF(t) is the dynamic feedforward compensation amount output by the prediction model.
[0037] When the calculated pH value deviates from the target pH value by |e(t)| beyond the dead zone, the PID parameters are automatically switched according to the sign and magnitude of the deviation, and strong / weak control rules are enabled (e.g., "tuning mode" is enabled when the deviation is >0.2, and "sleep mode" is enabled when the deviation is <0.1); the system actuator (frequency drive of the ammonia metering pump) receives the control command, accurately outputs and adds ammonia solution.
[0038] 5) The system has embedded intelligent auxiliary control logic to monitor multi-parameter measurements in real time. When abnormal hydrological conditions such as abnormal increase in conductivity or rapid fluctuation of hydrogen conductivity are detected, the system automatically intervenes to execute constraint control, generating a temporary enhancement coefficient k_add (e.g., 0.8~1.2), and using the temporary enhancement coefficient k_add to correct the output u(t) of the composite controller.
[0039] The configurable constraint strategies for the efficiency enhancement logic include, but are not limited to: (a) when the conductivity exceeds the warning limit, prioritize increasing the feedforward compensation ratio; (b) when the calculated ammonia content exceeds the preset upper limit, temporarily lock the opening of the ammonia addition regulating valve or reduce the frequency of the ammonia addition pump to prevent ammonia from exceeding the standard.
[0040] In addition, the present invention sets up an industrial control computer or an integrated intelligent touch screen as an operator monitoring station, which displays dynamic structured data curves in real time (including real-time trends of key indicators such as pH, conductivity, hydrogen conductivity, and ammonia content of feedwater / condensate), and supports abnormal early warning push, historical data tracing, and automatic report generation.
[0041] In this embodiment, the edge computing gateway seamlessly connects with the power plant's plant-level monitoring information system (SIS) and safety production management platform via the MQTT or OCDA / UA industrial standard protocol, constructing a unified three-level control system of group-region-grassroots, supporting intelligent analysis of larger data volumes.
[0042] In this embodiment, the feedforward prediction model adopts an active learning strategy, which uses new data whose prediction error exceeds the threshold after each ammonia addition control as training samples, and performs incremental training of the model during low unit load or shutdown windows to continuously improve prediction accuracy.
[0043] In this embodiment, the variable gain PID controller automatically switches to "fast follow mode" when the unit undergoes deep peak shaving or rapid load change, increases the proportion of feedforward component, shortens dynamic response time, and ensures that the pH value of the feedwater quickly recovers to the target range after a sudden change in operating conditions.
[0044] This invention has the following characteristics: pH feedback accuracy is significantly improved: the conductivity-based calculation-based pH measurement overcomes the shortcomings of traditional glass electrode method, such as large measurement lag and frequent maintenance, and still has high accuracy under low conductivity conditions of water supply. Rapid adaptive capability: AI feedforward control effectively compensates for the response delay problem of traditional feedback control when the load changes suddenly, and significantly reduces pH overshoot during unit start-up or deep peak shaving. Full-condition adaptive control: The variable gain PID controller can dynamically adjust the control parameters according to the real-time operating conditions such as unit load and feedwater flow, so as to avoid the accelerated flow and corrosion of the feedwater system due to untimely ammonia addition under deep peak shaving conditions. Data-driven decision support: significantly reduces the frequency of operator intervention, improves the level of system automation and intelligence, reduces ammonia consumption, and saves operating costs.
[0045] Confirmatory Experiment This embodiment is used for intelligent ammonia injection control based on load feedforward in the feedwater system of a supercritical 600MW unit. The specific process is as follows: 1) Online monitoring of multiple parameters and accurate pH calculation; During system operation, the automatically regenerating cation exchanger installed after the dosing point continuously introduces water samples into the intelligent instrument cabinet. The online conductivity electrode acquires the specific conductivity S (μS / cm) of the feed water sample, the hydrogen conductivity electrode acquires the hydrogen conductivity CC (μS / cm) signal corresponding to the remaining impurities after ammonia removal, and the temperature sensor simultaneously collects the water sample temperature T.
[0046] The PLC collects the above parameters in real time at a sampling rate of 1Hz. After temperature compensation, it automatically calculates the current pH value in real time according to the formula pH=8.56639+lg(K), where K is the conductivity value contributed by the alkalizing agent (ammonia) (calculated from the difference between specific conductivity and hydrogen conductivity). The system also outputs the estimated ammonia content (NH3) in the current water sample and displays it on the host computer monitoring interface.
[0047] 2) AI model training and load feedforward parameter settings; During the offline learning phase, key data sequences (load signals, feedwater flow, feedwater pump frequency, etc.) under all operating conditions are collected from the historical load change cycle (spanning at least 3 months) of the unit, and a time-series prediction model LSTM is developed. The model is trained on an edge computing server with the training objective of predicting the pH trend for the next 5 minutes. After training, the model is solidified and deployed to the edge gateway.
[0048] 3) Adaptive PID control based on feedforward-feedback; During real-time operation, the DCS provides a target pH setpoint (e.g., 9.2). The LSTM prediction model takes the historical data of unit load and feedwater flow rate over the past 15 minutes as input and outputs the predicted pH change slope (ΔpH_pred) for the next 5-10 minutes in advance.
[0049] Based on this, the system obtains the feedforward compensation term u_FF for parameter tuning, thereby realizing feedforward compensation for the lag element.
[0050] Meanwhile, the PID parameters (ΔKp, ΔKi, ΔKd) are tuned in real time based on the online learning capability of the RBF network, and the gain adaptive logic is integrated and superimposed with the feedforward component to form the final control output.
[0051] 4) Constraints and trip protection of efficiency enhancement logic; In one test, the unit load rapidly increased from 400MW to 550MW, and the feedwater flow rate quickly climbed from 1100t / h to 1650t / h. Because the LSTM prediction model anticipated the pH decline trend and added compensating ammonia before receiving the deviation value, the pH control fluctuation range was ultimately reduced from ±0.25 in the traditional method to within ±0.08. Compared to methods relying solely on manual intervention or without feedforward prediction, this effectively avoided the corrosion risk caused by real-time pH levels below 9.0. Early warnings can also be provided in the multi-parameter monitoring software to alert operators and prevent ammonia exceedances.
[0052] 5) Human-computer interaction and remote operation and maintenance; After all the above steps, the on-site industrial control computer screen displays multiple key trend curves in real time, including feedwater pH, equivalent ammonia content, unit load, and automatic regulating valve opening. Process information can be uploaded to the SIS or centralized monitoring platform. Alarm reminders are automatically pushed when efficiency enhancement logic is implemented or when critical equipment malfunctions. Maintenance personnel can access the equipment and browse operational information via touchscreen or mobile terminal.
[0053] Effect verification: In a continuous industrial test of a 600MW coal-fired unit, after adopting this invention, the feedwater pH value could be stably controlled within the target range of 9.0~9.3. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of pH fluctuation was reduced from 0.13 under manual or traditional PID control to less than 0.02, and the overall operating condition pass rate increased from less than 85% to over 98.5%. Ammonia consumption decreased by an average of 12.5%, and operating costs were significantly reduced. During deep peak shaving of the unit (load change rate > 6% / min), the system can bring the pH value back to the target range within 15 seconds, fully meeting the stringent requirements of modern supercritical units for feedwater chemical conditions.
[0054] Example 2 The intelligent ammonia addition control system for a water vapor system based on computational pH as described in this invention includes: The acquisition module is used to acquire the conductivity, hydrogen conductivity, and temperature of the water sample. The calculation module is used to correct the conductivity of the feedwater using the temperature of the feedwater to obtain the modified conductivity, and to calculate the pH value of the feedwater and the ammonia content of the current water vapor system based on the modified conductivity and hydrogen conductivity of the water sample.
