Coal-fired unit water-cooling wall temperature prediction neural network model
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of thermal power generating unit heating surface wall temperature characteristic modeling, in particular to a coal-fired unit water-cooling wall temperature prediction neural network model.
Background
Under increasingly serious environmental protection pressure, the state continuously pushes the energy structure adjustment, and clean energy such as wind energy, solar energy and the like is continuously and rapidly developed. However, new energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy and the like generally have the characteristics of randomness and intermittence, and large-scale grid connection inevitably has certain influence on the safety and stability of a power grid; on the other hand, with the slow increase of the economic growth speed and the large adjustment of the economic structure, the whole power supply and demand contradiction in China is changed from shortage to relative surplus. Therefore, in order to improve the consumption capacity of new energy such as wind energy, solar energy and the like, the thermal power generating unit must bear a large peak regulation duty, and the long-term low-load operation of the thermal power generating unit must become a normal state.
On the other hand, the domestic unit generally has the defects that the actual coal is deviated from the designed coal type, the coal quality is seriously mixed and burnt, the quality of the coal fed into the boiler is good and bad, the actual coal quality is deviated from the designed coal type, and the design condition of the boiler is fundamentally changed. In the actual operation process of the unit, the air powder at four corners of the boiler has certain deviation, which easily causes the problems of partial burning, coking and the like of the boiler and the problem of pipe explosion of a water-cooled wall.
The safety of hydrodynamic working condition, when the boiler operates under low load condition, the degree of flame full in the boiler is different from high load time difference, so that the heat load of the hearth is uneven. The water circulation stop and circulation backflow can be caused by the fact that the steam-water flow distribution deviation between each circulation loop of the water cooling wall and the adjacent pipes is increased. During low-load operation, the water cooling wall overtemperature phenomenon is easy to occur due to factors in combustion and safety factors of boiler water circulation. Therefore, during low-load operation, real-time measurement monitoring of the wall temperature of the water wall and advanced prediction and control of the wall temperature are effective ways for reducing the risk of pipe explosion.
At present, the thermal power generating unit mainly adopts the following two measurement schemes for wall temperature:
1) wall temperature measurement is realized by installing a large number of thermocouple wall temperature measuring points at the metal parts of the tube walls of the boiler superheater, the reheater, the water wall and the like, and an independent monitoring system or a DCS (distributed control system) system is directly connected for direct monitoring, so that the safety and stability of long-term operation of the boiler are improved; at present, the method has higher requirements on the environment around a measuring point, but the environment in a furnace is often severe, and has certain influence on the measuring precision and accuracy; meanwhile, the method can only measure the temperature value at the current moment, and only when the measuring points are over-temperature due to more measuring points, an alarm can be given out, so that the operating personnel can correspondingly adjust the boiler parameters according to actual experience. Therefore, operators can not judge a large number of wall temperature measuring points in real time in the process of monitoring the wall temperature overtemperature, and can not solve the overtemperature problem in time when overtemperature alarming is carried out, and adverse influence is brought to the operation safety of the boiler.
2) And establishing a wall temperature prediction model by a mechanism or mathematical analysis method, thereby realizing the calculation and prediction of the wall temperature. The method is complex, has more boundary parameters, can not give all boundary parameters for actual measuring points of the power plant, and needs to be continuously corrected under different conditions of the model, so that the method does not meet the requirement of on-line calculation and can not participate in closed-loop control of the wall temperature of the power plant in real time; based on a mathematical modeling analysis method, a wall temperature prediction method based on an artificial neural network is mostly adopted at present, only the influence of external factors on the wall temperature is considered, and static network structures such as a BP neural network and the like are adopted to predict the wall temperature of a boiler tube. The current wall temperature historical data, the upstream wall temperature historical data and the change rate of related factors are not considered, the contents of a time sequence prediction neural network structure, a neural network activation function and the like are not researched, the prediction structure is laggard, and the calculation result is poor.
In summary, the existing wall temperature overtemperature countermeasures and prediction means only stop displaying alarm, so that the parameters are changed by means of the experience of operators, and closed-loop control is not realized. On the other hand, the wall temperature prediction model needs to be optimized, so that accurate prediction of the wall temperature is realized, and advanced closed-loop operation is realized to avoid overtemperature of the wall temperature.
