[0002] As thermal power units play an increasingly important role in the global energy structure, related technologies are also continuously developing. The efficient operation of thermal power units relies on the coordinated work of multiple subsystems, among which the condenser vacuum system is a key component ensuring efficient and stable operation. Traditional vacuum system monitoring methods mainly rely on periodic manual inspections and simple parameter alarms. However, these methods have many shortcomings, especially in terms of real-time performance and accuracy, which are insufficient to meet the operational requirements of modern thermal power units. In recent years, with the development of sensor technology, data processing technology, and intelligent algorithms, data-driven intelligent monitoring methods have gradually gained attention and application, providing new ideas and means for real-time monitoring and fault diagnosis of vacuum systems.

[0003] Although modern thermal power units have gradually adopted intelligent monitoring technology, existing vacuum system monitoring technologies still have some shortcomings. First, traditional methods often have relatively simple data acquisition and processing, failing to fully extract and utilize multi-dimensional and multi-type operational data, resulting in insufficient monitoring accuracy and sensitivity. Second, existing technologies mainly rely on simple threshold judgments and rule-based alarms for anomaly identification, which cannot effectively identify complex and potential anomalies, easily leading to false alarms or missed alarms. Furthermore, existing methods often lack systematicity and automation in anomaly handling and parameter adjustment, failing to achieve timely and accurate responses and adjustments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more advanced and intelligent monitoring method capable of comprehensively and efficiently monitoring the operating status of the condenser vacuum system of thermal power units, and achieving precise anomaly identification and parameter adjustment.

[0052] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. Wherein:

[0053] Figure 1 is an overall flowchart of an intelligent monitoring method for the vacuum system of a thermal power unit condenser provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0054] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] Referring to Figure 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for intelligent monitoring of the vacuum system of a condenser in a thermal power unit, comprising:

[0057] S1: Collect and preprocess the operating data of the condenser vacuum system.

[0058] Sensors are used to collect data on vacuum level, cooling water temperature, steam quality, cooling water quality, vacuum pump operating status, ambient temperature, and exhaust temperature.

[0059] Preprocessing includes data cleaning, data smoothing, and data standardization.

[0060] Data cleaning involves interpolating and filling in missing values ​​using the average of data from different time points.

[0061] Data smoothing uses the moving average method to smooth time series data, reducing volatility, and is expressed as:

[0062] Among them, S t Y represents the smoothed data. t-i This represents the original data, and n represents the moving average window size. Data standardization normalizes the data to a range of 0 to 1, represented as:

[0063] Where X represents the original data, X′ represents the normalized data, and X... min X represents the minimum value of the data. max This indicates the maximum value of the data.

[0064] S2: Extract features from the preprocessed data and perform anomaly identification.

[0065] First, temperature features are extracted by combining the pre-processed cooling water temperature, ambient temperature, and exhaust temperature, and expressed as follows:

[0066] Among them, F T T represents temperature characteristics. c (t) represents the cooling water temperature as a function of time t, where T a (t) represents the ambient temperature as a function of time t, where T e (t) represents the exhaust temperature as a function of time t.

[0067] It should be noted that the exponential decay term T c (t)·e -t Simulates the decay of cooling water temperature over time, reflecting changes in the system's cooling effect. (Square root term) It reflects the proportional relationship between ambient temperature and exhaust temperature, demonstrating the nonlinear characteristics of temperature change.

[0068] Furthermore, this formula comprehensively considers changes in cooling water temperature, ambient temperature, and exhaust temperature, enhancing its sensitivity to nonlinear temperature variations. It better reflects the dynamic temperature changes of the system, aiding in anomaly detection.

[0069] Quality characteristics are extracted by combining the pretreated steam quality and cooling water quality, and are expressed as follows:

[0070] Among them, F Q Q represents a quality characteristic. s (i) represents the steam mass at time i, Q c (i) represents the cooling water quality at time i, and n represents the total number of time points for data collection.

[0071] It should be noted that fractional terms This measures the proportional relationship between steam flow rate and cooling water flow rate. (Logarithmic term log(Q)) s (i)Q c (i) Introduce a logarithmic function to enhance sensitivity to large-scale flow changes.

[0072] Furthermore, this formula effectively extracts the dynamic variation characteristics of steam flow and cooling water flow. The use of fractional and logarithmic functions enhances its ability to capture nonlinear changes in flow rate. It can reflect the interaction between system load and cooling effect.

[0073] The combined characteristics of the extracted vacuum level and the vacuum pump's operating status are expressed as follows:

[0074] Among them, F V P represents the characteristics of a vacuum system. v (t) represents the vacuum degree as a function of time t, S v (t) represents the operating state of the vacuum pump as a function of time t.

[0075] It should be noted that fractional terms Combining vacuum level and vacuum pump operating status, the Sigmoid function is used. The effect of smooth state switching on vacuum level. The sine term sin(t) is introduced to simulate the periodic fluctuations of vacuum level.

[0076] Furthermore, this formula combines vacuum level and vacuum pump operating status to provide a comprehensive assessment of the system's vacuum condition. The use of sigmoid and sinusoidal functions enhances sensitivity to nonlinear and periodic variations. It accurately reflects the dynamic operation of the vacuum system, providing a reliable basis for anomaly detection and parameter adjustment.

[0077] Vacuum degree as a function of time t P v (t) is represented as: P v (t)=P0e -λt +κsin(ωt)+μ

[0078] Among them, P v (t) represents the vacuum degree at time t, P0 represents the initial vacuum degree, λ represents the rate constant of vacuum degree decay with time, κ represents the amplitude constant of periodic fluctuation, ω represents the angular frequency of periodic fluctuation, and μ represents the vacuum degree reference value under steady state.

[0079] The vacuum pump operating state function is a discrete function, S v When (t) is 1, it indicates that the vacuum pump is running. v When (t) is 0, it indicates that the vacuum pump has stopped.

[0080] The three features are standardized, and the relationship term between them is calculated based on the standardized features, as follows:

[0081] Among them, F T F' represents the standardized temperature characteristic. Q ′ represents the standardized quality characteristic, F V ′ represents the standardized vacuum system characteristics, t represents time, and θ represents the smoothing factor, which controls the interaction between characteristics.

[0082] Calculate the anomaly identification index, including temperature characteristic, mass characteristic, and vacuum system characteristic.

[0083] The temperature characteristic term is represented as:

[0084] It should be noted that this formula utilizes the time integral of temperature characteristics, combined with exponential and cosine functions, to reflect the periodic and nonlinear characteristics of temperature changes. The cosine function makes the temperature characteristics exhibit periodic changes in the time dimension, while the exponential function amplifies the influence of the temperature characteristics. This enhances the sensitivity to periodic fluctuations in temperature characteristics and can capture nonlinear changes in temperature characteristics, providing a more refined description for anomaly detection.

[0085] The quality characteristic is represented as:

[0086] It should be noted that this formula combines the time integral of flow characteristics with logarithmic and sine functions to reflect the fluctuations and nonlinear relationships of flow characteristics. The logarithmic function is sensitive to large-scale variations, while the sine function captures periodic changes in flow. This approach can handle a wide range of variations in flow characteristics, improving the ability to identify nonlinear and periodic fluctuations in flow characteristics.

[0087] The characteristic terms of a vacuum system are represented as follows:

[0088] This formula reflects the smooth transition of vacuum system characteristics between different states through time integration and the Sigmoid function. The Sigmoid function ensures the smoothness of vacuum system characteristics during changes in operating state, thus smoothing the changes in vacuum system characteristics during state transitions and improving the sensitivity to the stability and abnormal states of the vacuum system characteristics.

[0089] By merging the feature terms, the final anomaly detection index is obtained:

[0090] To optimize the anomaly detection index, an information filtering function is introduced, expressed as:

[0091] Among them, A opt This represents the optimized anomaly detection index.

[0092] It should be noted that this formula effectively filters out noise and unstable factors, making the anomaly identification results more reliable.

[0093] S3: Adjust the operating parameters of the vacuum system based on the anomaly detection output.

[0094] The final anomaly score is expressed as follows:

[0095] Where S represents the anomaly score, with the result ranging from 0 to 1.

[0096] It should be noted that the final anomaly score is calculated using time integration and a normalization function. The logarithmic function and normalization factor ensure that the score is between 0 and 1, providing a clear anomaly assessment result.

[0097] When S < 0.3, there is a minor anomaly in the system operation, but no immediate action is required; continued monitoring is necessary.

[0098] When S≥0.3, the system malfunctions and requires adjustment.

[0099] The parameters that need to be adjusted are vacuum level, cooling water quality, and cooling water temperature.

[0100] The adjustment amount is calculated based on the current anomaly score and vacuum degree characteristics:

[0101] Wherein, ΔP v Indicates the vacuum adjustment amount. This represents the vacuum adjustment coefficient, which controls the adjustment level. The cooling water quality adjustment amount is calculated based on the current anomaly score and quality characteristics.

[0102] Where, ΔQ c Indicates the amount of cooling water quality adjustment. This indicates the cooling water quality adjustment coefficient, which controls the adjustment level.

[0103] Based on the current anomaly score and temperature characteristics, calculate the cooling water temperature adjustment amount:

[0104] Where, ΔT c Indicates the amount of cooling water temperature adjustment. This indicates the cooling water temperature adjustment coefficient, which controls the adjustment level.

[0105] Adjust the vacuum pump's operating status and efficiency, cooling water quality, and cooling water inlet and outlet temperature difference based on the three adjustment parameters. Repeat the anomaly score calculation and observe whether the score drops below the safe range.

[0106] The above embodiments also include an intelligent monitoring system for the vacuum system of a thermal power unit condenser, specifically:

[0107] The preprocessing module collects and preprocesses the operating data of the condenser vacuum system.

[0108] The anomaly detection module extracts features from the preprocessed data to identify anomalies.

[0109] Optimize system modules and adjust vacuum system operating parameters based on anomaly detection output results.

[0112] Example 2

[0113] One embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent monitoring method and system for the vacuum system of a condenser in a thermal power unit. To verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, a simulation experiment is conducted for scientific demonstration.

[0114] The experimental subject was the condenser vacuum system of a thermal power plant. The system includes multiple subsystems and sensors to collect key parameters such as vacuum level, cooling water temperature, steam quality, cooling water quality, vacuum pump operating status, ambient temperature, and exhaust temperature.

[0115] In the preparation phase of the experiment, the sensors were first calibrated to ensure the accuracy of data acquisition. Then, a data acquisition module and a preprocessing module were installed to collect and process the operating data of the condenser vacuum system. The experiment was divided into two phases: the first phase used traditional monitoring methods, relying solely on simple parameter alarms and manual checks; the second phase used the intelligent monitoring method of this invention, achieving intelligent monitoring through data preprocessing, feature extraction, anomaly identification, and parameter adjustment.

[0116] Before the experiment, the initial readings of each sensor were recorded, and all equipment was ensured to be operating normally. During the experiment, data for each parameter was recorded every 10 minutes, for a total of 7 recordings. After data acquisition, traditional methods directly determine abnormalities through parameter alarms, while the method of this invention processes the data through the following steps:

[0117] The collected data is cleaned, smoothed, and standardized. Data cleaning uses interpolation to fill in missing values, data smoothing uses the moving average method, and data standardization normalizes the data to the range of 0-1. Temperature, mass, and vacuum system features are extracted. Temperature features are combined with cooling water temperature, ambient temperature, and exhaust temperature; mass features are combined with steam mass and cooling water mass; and vacuum system features are combined with vacuum level and vacuum pump operating status. Complex interaction terms between features are calculated, and an anomaly detection index is calculated based on the standardized features. An optimized information filtering function is introduced to improve the accuracy of anomaly detection. When the anomaly score S exceeds 0.3, adjustment amounts are calculated based on the score results, and the vacuum level, cooling water mass, and cooling water temperature are adjusted respectively to restore the system to normal operating status.

[0118] During the experiment, the system operation data under the traditional monitoring method and the method of this invention were recorded respectively, and the effects of the two methods were compared and analyzed. As shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0119] Table 1. Experimental Results of Our Invention

[0120] Table 2 Experimental results of traditional methods

[0121] By comparing the data in the two tables above, it is clear that there are differences in the system operation status between the method of this invention and the traditional monitoring method.

[0122] The vacuum level obtained using the traditional method gradually decreased from an initial 6500 Pa to 6150 Pa, and continued to decrease after the fourth recording. This indicates that the vacuum level continuously decreased during system operation, but this was not identified and adjusted in time, leading to a decline in system efficiency.

[0123] The vacuum level of the method of this invention gradually decreased from an initial 6500 Pa. However, after the fourth recording, the vacuum pump stopped operating, and the system automatically identified the anomaly and adjusted the vacuum level to ensure that the vacuum level fluctuated within a reasonable range. This demonstrates that the method of this invention can promptly identify and adjust anomalies, maintaining stable system operation.

[0124] Traditional methods gradually increase the cooling water temperature from an initial 25°C to 32°C, failing to effectively control the temperature rise and resulting in a decrease in system cooling efficiency.

[0125] Although the cooling water temperature rose after the fourth recording, the system promptly reduced the temperature by adjusting the cooling water quality and temperature, ensuring stable cooling performance. This demonstrates the significant advantages of the method in temperature control.

[0126] Traditional methods show that the continuous increase in steam quality and cooling water quality indicates an increase in system load, but this has not been effectively adjusted, leading to a heavier burden on system operation.

[0127] In this invention, the steam and cooling water quality were adjusted after the fourth recording. By optimizing system parameters, stable system operation under high load was ensured. This demonstrates that the method of this invention is more flexible and efficient in handling load changes.

[0128] Traditional vacuum pumps operate continuously without being optimized for system conditions, which may lead to increased energy consumption and equipment wear.

[0129] When an abnormal vacuum level is detected, the vacuum pump automatically stops operating. By optimizing and adjusting other parameters, the system ensures stable operation, reducing energy consumption and equipment wear. This demonstrates the significant advantages of the method in energy management and equipment protection.

[0130] In summary, the method of this invention can promptly identify system anomalies and ensure stable system operation by automatically adjusting system parameters. Traditional methods, on the other hand, mainly rely on parameter alarms and manual checks, resulting in slow response times and difficulty in timely handling of anomalies.

[0131] This invention's method comprehensively analyzes the system's operational status through feature extraction and interactive computation of multi-dimensional data, improving the accuracy and sensitivity of monitoring. Traditional methods, on the other hand, are relatively singular and cannot fully capture changes in the system's operational status.

[0132] This invention reduces energy consumption and equipment wear by intelligently adjusting the operating status of the vacuum pump and other system parameters, thereby improving system operating efficiency. Traditional methods cannot effectively optimize energy management, easily leading to resource waste and equipment damage.

[0133] The method of this invention can effectively control the cooling water temperature, ensure stable cooling effect, and avoid system overheating. Traditional methods are relatively passive in temperature control, which can easily lead to poor cooling effect.

[0134] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
