A method and system for monitoring the condition of a boiler burner Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of boiler burner technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for monitoring the condition of a boiler burner. Background Technology
[0002] The pulverized coal burner is a major component of the combustion equipment in a coal-fired boiler. Its functions are: (1) to deliver fuel and air into the furnace; (2) to organize the timely and sufficient mixing of fuel and air; and (3) to ensure that the fuel ignites quickly and stably after entering the furnace and burns completely. In the combustion of pulverized coal, in order to reduce the heat required for ignition, the pulverized coal is heated quickly so that it reaches the ignition temperature as soon as possible to achieve rapid ignition. Therefore, the amount of air required for pulverized coal combustion is divided into primary air and secondary air. The function of primary air is to send pulverized coal into the furnace and supply the amount of oxygen required for the combustion of volatiles in the initial ignition stage of pulverized coal. Secondary air is mixed in after the pulverized coal airflow is ignited and supplies the amount of oxygen required for the complete combustion of coke and residual volatiles in the coal to ensure the complete combustion of pulverized coal.
[0003] The combustion process of pulverized coal in the furnace is complex and influenced by numerous factors. The combined effect of multiple variables makes boiler combustion fault diagnosis very difficult. In the process of diagnosing boiler combustion, there is too much reliance on the on-site experience of professionals and limited testing methods. There is a lack of reliable detection and diagnostic devices or methods to help technicians perform quantitative analysis, which makes it impossible to monitor the condition of the burner in a timely manner, resulting in safety hazards and economic losses to boiler operation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a method and system for monitoring the condition of a boiler burner, to solve the problem of low fault condition monitoring level in existing boiler burners, including:
[0005] Obtain historical boiler burner failure events when they occur, and establish a burner failure feature set based on these events.
[0006] Based on the association rule algorithm, association rules are mined from the burner fault feature set to obtain strong association rules for the burner fault feature set;
[0007] The combustion state coefficient of the current burner is determined based on the strong correlation rules of the burner fault feature set, and the burner status is warned based on the current combustion state coefficient.
[0008] Furthermore, the step of establishing a burner fault feature set based on boiler burner fault events includes:
[0009] Acquire multi-source indicator data of the boiler burner for boiler burner failure events. The multi-source indicator data of the burner includes operating sound data, combustion image data and operating temperature data.
[0010] Obtain the preset standard indicator data corresponding to each multi-source indicator data, and calculate the distance between the multi-source indicator data and the corresponding preset standard indicator data.
[0011] Based on the distance value changes between multi-source index data and corresponding preset standard index data, a time series data of distance value changes is established, and a burner fault feature set is established based on the time series data of distance value changes corresponding to each multi-source index data.
[0012] Further, the calculation of the distance between the multi-source indicator data and the corresponding preset standard indicator data includes:
[0013] Calculate the difference between the multi-source indicator data and the corresponding preset standard indicator data, and determine the initial distance value based on the difference between the multi-source indicator data and the corresponding preset standard indicator data;
[0014] Obtain the changes in multi-source indicator data, and plot the multi-source indicator data change curves based on the changes in multi-source indicator data.
[0015] Calculate the absolute value of the slope between the current multi-source indicator data and the multi-source indicator data of the previous preset period based on the change curve of the multi-source indicator data. Normalize the absolute value of the slope between the current multi-source indicator data and the multi-source indicator data of the previous preset period to obtain the distance correction coefficient.
[0016] Multiply the distance correction factor by the initial distance value to obtain the distance between the current multi-source indicator data and the corresponding preset standard indicator data.
[0017] Furthermore, the association rule-based algorithm is used to mine association rules in the burner fault feature set to obtain strong association rules for the burner fault feature set, including:
[0018] The time-series data of distance value changes and corresponding fault types in the burner fault feature set are standardized to obtain the standardized burner fault feature set.
[0019] Obtain the preset minimum support threshold and preset minimum confidence threshold, and mine the burner fault feature set based on the preset minimum support threshold and preset minimum confidence threshold using the association rule algorithm to obtain multiple strong association rules.
[0020] Furthermore, the burner fault feature set is mined based on an association rule algorithm according to a preset minimum support threshold and a preset minimum confidence threshold to obtain multiple strong association rules, including:
[0021] Obtain the feature itemset for each fault type in the burner fault feature set, and divide the feature itemset into a first leading itemset and a first successor itemset;
[0022] Calculate the target support of the first leading itemset and the first successor itemset, and compare the target support with the preset minimum support threshold.
[0023] When the target support is greater than or equal to the preset minimum support threshold, the first leading itemset and the first successor itemset corresponding to the target support are taken as frequent itemsets.
[0024] The association rule set is determined based on the frequent itemsets, and the strong association rules for the burner fault feature set are determined based on the association rule set.
[0025] Furthermore, the strong association rules for determining the burner fault feature set based on the association rule set include:
[0026] The association rule set is determined based on the frequent itemsets, and the association rule set is divided into the second leading itemset and the second successor itemset.
[0027] Calculate the target confidence and target lift of the second leading itemset and the second successor itemset;
[0028] The target confidence level is compared with the preset minimum confidence threshold, and the target lift is compared with 1.
[0029] When the target confidence level is greater than or equal to the minimum confidence threshold and the target lift is greater than 1, the corresponding association rule is used as the strong association rule corresponding to the burner fault feature set.
[0030] Furthermore, determining the current combustion state coefficient of the burner based on the strong correlation rules of the burner fault feature set includes:
[0031] Obtain the time series data of distance value changes corresponding to the current multi-source index data of the burner, establish a set of association rules based on strong association rules, and calculate the correlation coefficient between the time series data of distance value changes corresponding to the current multi-source index data and the time series data of distance value changes in the set of association rules.
[0032] The state weights and corresponding fault probabilities are determined based on the correlation coefficient between the time series data of distance value changes corresponding to the current multi-source index data and the time series data of distance value changes with strong correlation rules. The burner state coefficients are then determined based on the state weights and corresponding fault probabilities.
[0033] Further, determining the burner state coefficient based on the state weights and corresponding failure probabilities includes:
[0034] The burner state coefficient is determined based on the state coefficient calculation formula, according to the state weights and corresponding failure probabilities. The specific formula for calculating the state coefficient is as follows:
[0035]
[0036] in, This is the burner condition factor. Let be the state weight corresponding to the time series data of the distance value change of the i-th strongly correlated rule. The number of time-series data points showing changes in distance values where strong association rules exist. This represents the probability of failure. To preset the allowable failure probability, For the preset range coefficient, It is a natural exponential function.
[0037] Furthermore, the step of providing burner status early warning based on the current burner combustion state coefficient includes:
[0038] Obtain preset standard burner state parameters and calculate the difference between the current burner state parameters and the preset standard burner state parameters;
[0039] Determine whether the difference between the current burner status parameters and the preset standard burner status parameters is greater than a first preset threshold. If the difference between the current burner status parameters and the preset standard burner status parameters is greater than the first preset threshold, then set the first level as the burner's warning level.
[0040] If the difference between the current burner status parameter and the preset standard burner status parameter is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, then determine whether the difference between the current burner status parameter and the preset standard burner status parameter is greater than the second preset threshold.
[0041] If the difference between the current burner status parameters and the preset standard burner status parameters is greater than the second preset threshold, then the second level is set as the burner's warning level.
[0042] If the difference between the current burner status parameters and the preset standard burner status parameters is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, then the third level is set as the burner's warning level.
[0043] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a boiler burner condition monitoring system, comprising:
[0044] A module is established to acquire boiler burner failure events that occurred in history, and to establish a burner failure feature set based on the boiler burner failure events.
[0045] The association module is used to mine association rules for the burner fault feature set based on the association rule algorithm, and obtain strong association rules for the burner fault feature set.
[0046] The monitoring module is used to determine the current combustion state coefficient of the burner based on the strong correlation rules of the burner fault feature set, and to provide burner status warnings based on the current combustion state coefficient.
