A Multi-Objective Energy-Saving Control Method for Accumulators in a Descaling System

This invention relates to the field of energy-saving retrofitting of high-pressure water descaling systems, and discloses a multi-objective energy-saving control method for accumulators in descaling systems. For high-pressure water descaling systems in steel rolling, the basic parameters of the descaling system and accumulator are first determined. Simulations are used to obtain the steel plate energy consumption, the minimum system pressure, and the accumulator cost. Relevant performance indicators and core accumulator parameters are selected as variables to be optimized. Then, with the goal of minimizing steel plate energy consumption and accumulator cost, a penalty function is introduced to transform constrained optimization into unconstrained optimization. A multi-objective intelligent particle swarm optimization algorithm is executed. After multiple iterations, including particle swarm initialization and objective function evaluation, the non-dominated solution of the external archive set is output as the optimal parameters for the accumulator. This method achieves the optimal match between the energy consumption of the descaling system and the cost of the accumulator, while ensuring that the system operating pressure meets the standard, thus improving the economy and reliability of the descaling system operation.
