Background technology
Blast funnace hot blast stove is the visual plant during blast furnace ironmaking is produced, and it is bearing the keying action that the heat that coal gas produced of will burning is delivered to blast furnace blast.A blast-furnace hot-air furnace system is made of 3~4 hotblast stoves usually, and the working process of each hotblast stove is divided into burning, changes stove and air-supply three phases.Several hotblast stoves alternately are operated in ventilation state in order, to reach the purpose that continuous and stable hot blast feeding is provided to blast furnace.
For each hotblast stove of a hot blast stove system, its working process is alternate or perhaps sequence batch (, and a plurality of hotblast stove cooperatings have then formed the process of successive air-supply on the whole.Because hotblast stove institute's accumulative heat in combustion phases can not directly and simply be measured, so existing hot blast stove system control method (no matter being control automatically or manually control), basically be to control combustion processes indirectly as process parameter, and reflect the quality of combustion processes with them with dome temperature and spent air temperture.For the burning of each hotblast stove, change stove and the air-supply stage has then been taked the operation scheme of fixed cycle, the length of the combustion time of each hotblast stove and air-supply time all is the same and is pre-set.
Existing hot blast stove system adopts the shortcoming of fixed cycle operation scheme to be mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1) owing to each hotblast stove in the hot blast stove system there are differences on individuality, their incendiary thermo-efficiency is different, if all adopt the identical air-supply time, will cause wind pushing temperature bigger fluctuation to occur because of the difference of each hotblast stove savings heat;
2) calorific value of the main fuel-blast furnace gas of hot blast stove system is not changeless, and when calorific value was higher, hotblast stove accumulative heat was just higher in same combustion time, otherwise just lower.Therefore if adopt fixed combustion time and air-supply time, can cause the fluctuation of hot blast temperature bigger too;
3) no matter be because the difference of hotblast stove individuality or the variation of caloric power of gas, if hot blast stove system adopts the operation scheme of fixed cycle, the hotblast stove of having put aside more heat transfer at combustion phases just can not discharge its heat fully in the air-supply stage so, thereby gas consumption is strengthened, cause the unnecessary waste of the energy.
Existing blast furnace hot-blast stove combustion automatic control method is mainly two big classes, promptly based on mathematical model with based on the control method of artificial intelligence.
Some developed countries are because the volume of blast furnace is bigger, and the check and analysis means of processing parameter are perfect, and all act as a fuel with blast furnace gas mixing coke-oven gas, so generally adopted the control method based on the blast furnace and hot blast cupola combustion mathematical model.The topmost problem that the mathematical model control method faces in application is to need perfect detection and analysis meter to match, and the price of these instrument is more expensive, and the workload of later maintenance is bigger.
The present another kind of autocontrol method of using based on artificial intelligence, mainly comprise the fuzzy control of blast furnace and hot blast cupola combustion optimal air-fuel ratio, gas flow and air-fuel ratio set expert systems control, by detecting Self organizing Fuzzy Control that the waste gas remaining oxygen realizes, spent air temperture Adaptive Fuzzy Control or the like, briefly introduce as follows to the characteristics of these methods.
(1) realizes that the automatic key of controlling of blast furnace and hot blast cupola combustion is the fluctuation along with gas pressure and quality, and carry out the real-time adjustment (adjustment of air flow quantity can be converted into the adjustment to air-fuel ratio) of gas flow and air flow quantity according to the different states of blast funnace hot blast stove.The optimal air-fuel ratio fuzzy control method of propositions such as Huang Zhaojun is comparison closing to reality application requiring (referring to 2002 the 4th phase 38-40 of a metallurgical automation page or leaf), it regulates air-fuel ratio in the dome temperature rising stage of blast furnace and hot blast cupola combustion according to a kind of fuzzy control rule, to realize the soaring fast of dome temperature; Regulate air-fuel ratio according to another kind of fuzzy control rule stationary phase at dome temperature, be not less than its stationary value to keep dome temperature; In the stationary phase of dome temperature, according to the climbing speed of spent air temperture, regulate the gas flow of supplying with blast funnace hot blast stove, when finishing, burning reaches the maximum value that working specification requires just to guarantee spent air temperture.
(2) the blast furnace and hot blast cupola combustion expert systems control method (referring to 2002 the 4th phase 57-62 of control engineering page or leaf) of Ma Zhuwu proposition.The core of this method is according to expert systems MAES-JT and sums up more than 100 control law that extract in advance, preset required gas flow of blast furnace and hot blast cupola combustion and air flow quantity by 5 periods, and determine whether reducing or increasing coal gas and the air flow quantity that sets by the climbing speed and the afterburning time of calculating spent air temperture.
(3) the Self organizing Fuzzy Control method (referring to 1999 the 6th phase 64-68 of steel research journal page or leaf) that realizes according to the waste gas remaining oxygen that proposes such as Jiang Liqiu.The variation that the characteristics of this method are need to use the zirconium white oxygen measuring instrument installed in the flue to measure remaining oxygen in the waste gas, by a kind of Self organizing Fuzzy Control method coefficient of excess air is remained on the best combustion band again, be that coefficient of excess air is 1.02~1.10, corresponding waste gas remaining oxygen is 0.412%~1.900%, thereby improves the efficient of blast furnace and hot blast cupola combustion.
(4) the adaptive fuzzy control method (referring to 2004 the 5th phase 71-74 of steel research journal page or leaf) that proposes such as Wang Guangyang at the spent air temperture climbing speed control of flameholding phase.The maximum value that spent air temperture just in time required for working specification when this method began for guaranteeing to blow, arriving dome temperature heated with maximum coal gas amount before stationary phase, reach after stationary phase climbing speed with spent air temperture as controlled target, the highest spent air temperture is as restricted condition, manipulated variable is a gas flow, and regulates air flow quantity according to optimal air-fuel ratio.Choose the deviation E and the fuzzy input of velocity of variation C conduct thereof of spent air temperture climbing speed, the output manipulated variable is that U is a gas flow, regulate gas flow according to the variation of spent air temperture climbing speed then: excessive when climbing speed, and when the trend that continue to increase is arranged, reduce gas flow; Bigger than normal when climbing speed, but rate variations keeps flow constant when being negative value; On the low side and when the trend that continues to reduce is arranged when climbing speed, suitably increase gas flow.
A common weak point of existing hotblast stove control method is that they have only considered the control problem of single hotblast stove individuality, and has ignored hotblast stove as a system, solve problem from whole angle.In fact, the heat storage capacity of each hotblast stove is distinguishing in hot blast stove system, and the variation of the calorific value of blast furnace gas is also bigger, therefore adopts the operation scheme of fixed cycle can not guarantee to make the air-supply effect of hot blast stove system integral body to reach optimum.
The synoptic diagram that hot blast stove system fixed cycle operation scheme wind pushing temperature changes as shown in Figure 1.T represents the air-supply time that each hotblast stove is identical among Fig. 1, and curve 1,2 and 3 is respectively 3 hotblast stoves change curve of wind pushing temperature in the corresponding air-supply stage successively.As can be seen from Figure 1, because each hotblast stove all adopts the identical air-supply time, hot blast temperature will occur and be lower than the phenomenon that blast furnace is produced desired temperature value (the horizontal dotted line among Fig. 1), and the fluctuation of hot blast temperature is also bigger after changing the stokehold, shown in curve among Fig. 12 and curve 3 boundaries.
