To illustrate the role of the L PV model in constructing the predictive model of the control algorithm, the present example organizes the data related to 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% load operating points based on dynamic experimental data, identifies and obtains 4 sets of state space models, constructs L PV models, and applies the models to the predictive model description in the control algorithm.
Next, in this example, the mechanism model shown in the formula (1) is used as a control target, and simulation verification is performed based on different control algorithms. Firstly, comparing the traditional PID control algorithm with the multivariable constraint predictive control algorithm provided by the patent, taking an AGC load-up stage as an example, and verifying the performance of the algorithm; secondly, taking a main steam pressure constant pressure control stage in an AGC load-up stage as an example, verifying the effect of bed temperature interval control; finally, taking the main steam pressure constant pressure control stage in the AGC load-up stage as an example, comparing the Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) with the multivariable constraint predictive control algorithm provided by the patent, and verifying the anti-interference performance and robustness of the algorithm.
According to the technical requirements of power grids in China, the capacity of a thermal power generating unit is 300 MW-600 MW (including 300MW), and the adjusting rate needs to reach 3MW/min during AGC joint debugging. Taking a 300MW circulating fluidized bed unit as an example, the AGC regulation rate needs to meet 1.0% Ne/min, in order to explain the effect of a predictive control algorithm and embody the advantages of the predictive control algorithm, a load-raising rate (namely 9MW/min) of 3.0% Ne/min is designed during a simulation experiment, namely a set value of the unit power is a ramp rising signal of 9MW/min, the lower limit of the AGC operation is set to 200MW, and the upper limit is set to 320 MW; the main steam pressure is controlled by two modes of constant pressure operation and sliding pressure operation, for example, a 300MW circulating fluidized bed unit, the sliding pressure operation only works when the load of the unit is 140 MW-270 MW, and the constant value of the sliding pressure is determined by a load instruction; when the unit operation load is lower than 140MW or higher than 270MW, the pressure control is switched to the constant pressure operation, and the main steam pressure set value is still linearly formed according to the unit load instruction; the variation range of the bed temperature is 850-950 ℃, namely the set value of the bed temperature is (850 ℃, 950 ℃).
Simulation experiments were performed by the simulink module of Matlab software:
simulation experiment (one): AGC simulation experiment
The simulation experiment is carried out based on two working conditions of 200 MW-270 MW and 270 MW-300 MW, wherein the pressure control in the first working condition range is sliding pressure operation, and the second working condition range is constant pressure operation. According to the AGC operation control requirement, a simulation experiment is completed, the predictive control optimization algorithm provided by the patent is compared with the traditional PID control algorithm, and an AGC control curve graph shown in FIG. 2 is obtained in a sliding pressure operation working condition interval. And obtaining an AGC control curve chart shown in figure 3 in the constant-pressure operation condition interval.
As can be seen from the curves in fig. 2, compared with the conventional PID control, the multivariable constraint predictive control optimization algorithm has significant advantages, namely, excellent AGC tracking performance and small overshoot. The fluctuation of the control action is also small; the PID control has a poor control effect on a multivariable system, has obvious fluctuation of the control quantity, has poor processing capability on the non-minimum phase characteristics of a CFBB object, and has a very obvious reverse characteristic in the initial control stage. In terms of bed temperature interval control, the third main loop is controlled by a single PID controller, and the lower limit of the initial bed temperature set value of 850 ℃ is far away from the stable value of the current working condition, so that the PID controller inevitably acts violently.
As can be seen from the curves in fig. 3, compared with the sliding pressure operation stage, the pressure curve of the predictive control algorithm in the constant pressure operation has a certain fluctuation in the load-increasing stage, but in terms of AGC load-increasing performance, the effect of the predictive control optimization algorithm is also significant compared with the conventional PID control strategy. Firstly, the load tracking effect is achieved, the PID control is not ideal in tracking performance in a load-increasing stage, and after a load set value is stable, the control action and the corresponding control quantity still fluctuate sharply. In terms of bed temperature interval control, the advantage of a predictive control algorithm in the aspect of processing such multivariable control problems can be more highlighted here, because the bed temperature is already within a set value range under the current working condition, a single PID controller of a third main loop does not directly participate in the control action any more, the control quantity is always maintained at an initial value, and actually, due to the coupling action of a multivariable system, the primary air volume also has influence on the other two output quantities of a CFBB object, and the action of the multivariable system is fully utilized to improve the tracking performance of AGC control.
Simulation experiment (II): bed temperature interval control performance simulation experiment
To further illustrate the performance of the control algorithm in interval control of the bed temperature, a simulation experiment is performed below by taking an AGC operating interval of a 270 MW-300 MW working condition as an example, wherein the simulation experiment is divided into the following two specific cases:
(1) disturbance experiment in bed temperature control interval
Assuming that the bed temperature output of the control object is disturbed by a sinusoidal signal with an amplitude of 5 ℃ and a period of 100s at 2000s, the simulation curve is shown in fig. 4.
As can be seen from the graph of fig. 4, the multivariable constrained prediction control can effectively control the bed temperature within the predetermined interval, the disturbance on the output side rapidly causes the fluctuation of the bed temperature parameter, but the control quantity does not change obviously after 2000s, and it can be seen that as long as the output quantity changes within the allowed set interval, the control quantity will remain unchanged, so that the frequent action of the control actuator can be obviously reduced, and the service life can be prolonged.
(2) Disturbance experiment outside bed temperature control interval
Assuming that the bed temperature output of the control object is disturbed by the step signal with the amplitude of 25 ℃ at 2000s, the simulation curve is shown in fig. 5.
It can be seen from the graph of fig. 5 that when the controlled object is interfered by the step signal with the amplitude of 25 ℃, the bed temperature exceeds the upper limit of the set interval, and at this time, the multivariable constrained predictive control algorithm can quickly reconcile the bed temperature within the set range by coordinating 3 control quantities.
As can be seen from the simulation experiments shown in fig. 4 and 5, the multivariate constrained predictive control algorithm provided by the patent has an ideal control effect when dealing with the interval control problem, and can be applied to the bed temperature interval control of the CFBB unit.
Simulation experiment (c): multivariable constraint predictive control algorithm performance simulation experiment
In order to further explain the control performance of the multivariable constraint predictive control algorithm, the following simulation research is continuously carried out from two aspects by taking the working condition AGC operation interval of 270 MW-300 MW as an example:
(1) test of noise immunity
Assuming that the power loop of the power bank is subjected to step disturbance at 1000s, the disturbance rejection performance of the predictive control optimization algorithm proposed by the present patent is compared with that of a basic dynamic matrix predictive control algorithm (DMC), so as to obtain a response curve as shown in fig. 6.
As can be seen from the graph of fig. 6, when the system is not disturbed by the disturbance quantity, the performance of the basic DMC algorithm and the predictive control optimization algorithm is similar when the AGC load is tracked, but the fluctuation of the control quantity is slightly larger than the optimization algorithm; when disturbance occurs, the performance of the optimization algorithm in the aspect of stability is obviously superior to that of the DMC algorithm, the DMC algorithm has very obvious fluctuation and cannot be stabilized within a long time, the control quality tends to deteriorate, after the optimization algorithm is adjusted through necessary control quantity when the disturbance occurs, the control quantity and the controlled quantity can be stabilized quickly, and the control quality is still excellent.
(2) Robust performance testing
For the CFBB unit, the quality of coal used for combustion is generally poor, and the fluctuation of the coal quality is very frequent in the actual operation process, so that frequent model mismatch of a control algorithm is caused, and the requirement on the robust performance of a control system is higher. Assuming that the parameter K1 related to the coal feeding amount is increased by 20% at 1000s to simulate the change of coal quality and the mismatch of the prediction model, the robustness performance comparison between the predictive control optimization algorithm proposed by the present patent and the basic dynamic matrix predictive control algorithm (DMC) is performed, and then the change curve as shown in fig. 7 is obtained.
As can be seen from the curve of FIG. 7, when the coal quality changes, i.e., the prediction model is mismatched, the influence of the DMC algorithm and the optimization algorithm can be finally inhibited due to the introduction of the feedback correction link. In contrast, the fluctuation generated by the DMC algorithm is more severe and longer in duration, the overall control quality tends to deteriorate, and the optimization algorithm can be stabilized faster overall and has more excellent robust performance although a certain degree of fluctuation also occurs.
In conclusion, regardless of AGC load tracking performance, bed temperature interval control performance, or disturbance rejection and robustness, comparison of simulation curves shows that the multivariable constraint predictive control algorithm based on the MHE algorithm provided by the patent shows excellent control performance, and has important significance for practical engineering application of AGC control of the circulating fluidized bed unit.
