To the subsequent gas processing system.

In this furnace 3, a solid material called “in-furnace bed material” is generated and collected at the bottom, and the bed material is sintered and melted and solidified by the concentration of impurities (low melting point materials, etc.) in the in-furnace bed material, or It is necessary to suppress malfunctions caused by incombustible impurities. For this reason, in the furnace 3, the in-furnace bed material is discharged | emitted regularly outside from the discharge port 3d of the bottom part. The discharged bed material is put into the furnace 3 again after removing unsuitable materials such as metal on a circulation line (not shown).

When the high-temperature exhaust gas sent from the cyclone 7 comes into contact with the boiler tube 13b, the heat of the exhaust gas is recovered in the water in the tube, and the generated high-temperature steam is sent to the turbine for power generation through the boiler tube 13b. The bag filter 15 removes fine particles such as fly ash that are still accompanying the combustible gas. The clean gas discharged from the discharge port 15a of the bag filter 15 is discharged from the chimney 19 via the gas line and the pump 17 to the outside.

Referring to FIG. 1, the boiler 2 is provided with a sensor group 14 that acquires sensor data constituting the operation data and outputs the sensor data to the operation diagnosis apparatus 1. These sensor groups 14 include, for example, a temperature sensor 14a that measures the temperature of a predetermined part of the boiler 2, a flow sensor 14b that measures the flow rate of exhaust gas or water, or a concentration sensor 14c that measures the concentration of a predetermined substance in the exhaust gas. Etc. are included. A part of the sensor data is an index item. The index item is an item that serves as an index of the operating state in the sensor data, and includes, for example, pressure deviation, heat recovery amount, boiler efficiency, and emission concentrations of environmentally hazardous substances such as CO and NOX.

The boiler 2 operates by inputting predetermined input values to each of a plurality of setting items constituting the setting item group 16. The setting item is an item that allows an operator or a control device (not shown) to input a predetermined input value to the boiler 2 in order to operate the boiler 2. The setting items include, for example, a blow flow rate 16a, a sand supply amount 16b, or a coal supply amount 16c that is a supply amount of coal supplied to the furnace 3. Further, the set item group 16 includes the number of times the blower is operated, the air flow rate, the number of times the air release valve is released, the amount of water injected, the valve opening degree, and the like.

The target value given to this index item is based on a plurality of operation indices such as an operation index for operating the boiler 2 with high efficiency and an operation index for reducing the amount of environmental load substances discharged. The driving diagnosis apparatus 1 includes sensor data input from the sensor group 14 arranged in the boiler 2, target values of index items input to the driving diagnosis apparatus 1, and a Bayesian network recorded in the driving diagnosis apparatus 1 in advance. The operating state of the boiler 2 is diagnosed on the basis of the model. As a result of the diagnosis, the driving diagnosis apparatus 1 indicates the setting items that should be adjusted to satisfy the target, and also shows the tendency of the values that should be input to the setting items that should be adjusted.

The driving diagnosis device 1 includes a data processing device 20, an input device 21 for inputting predetermined data or the like to the data processing device 20, and an output device 22 for displaying data output from the data processing device 20. I have.

The driving diagnosis apparatus 1 is realized by using, for example, a computer 100 shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the computer 100 is an example of hardware constituting the data processing device 20 of the present embodiment. The computer 100 includes a CPU and various data processing devices such as a server device that performs processing and control by software and a personal computer. The computer 100 includes a CPU 41, a RAM 42 and a ROM 43 as main storage devices, an input device 21 such as a keyboard and a mouse as input devices, an output device 22 such as a display and a printer, a communication module 47 as a data transmission / reception device such as a network card, The computer system includes an auxiliary storage device 48 such as a hard disk. The functional components shown in FIG. 1 include an input device 21, an output device 22, and a communication module under the control of the CPU 41 by reading predetermined computer software on hardware such as the CPU 41 and RAM 42 shown in FIG. 3. 47 is operated, and data is read and written in the RAM 42 and the auxiliary storage device 48.

The data processing device 20 includes, as functional components, a data input unit 23 that receives sensor data input from the sensor group 14 arranged in the boiler 2, a model recording unit 24 that records a model of a Bayesian network, and a sensor Based on the model update unit 25 that updates the model of the Bayesian network based on the data, the inference data calculation unit 26 that calculates the degree of influence of the setting item on the index item, and the sensor data and the output of the inference data calculation unit 26 An inference data processing unit 27 that calculates a setting item to be adjusted and a tendency of its value, and a report creation unit 28 that creates a report as an operation index based on the output of the inference data processing unit 27.

The data input unit 23 receives the sensor data acquired by the sensor group 14 of the boiler 2 and the input value input to the setting item group 16. The data input unit 23 outputs the input sensor data to the inference data processing unit 27 and also outputs it to the model update unit 25 as necessary. In addition, the data input unit 23 outputs an input value to the setting item group 16 to the inference data calculation unit 26.

The model recording unit 24 records a model of the Bayesian network. The model recording unit 24 is configured to be referable from an inference data calculation unit 26 described later, and outputs a Bayesian network model to the inference data calculation unit 26 in response to a request from the inference data calculation unit 26.

Here, the Bayesian network model 50 will be described. FIG. 4 is an example of a Bayesian network composed of setting items and index items of the boiler 2. The Bayesian network expresses the relationship between the cause 51 and the result 52 with a simple diagram and graphically represents the transition of a probabilistic phenomenon. From the Bayesian network, when the value of a certain variable is obtained, the probability of a variable that has not been observed can be obtained.

In this embodiment, the setting item is defined as the cause 51 and the index item is defined as the result 52. In the cause 51 including a plurality of setting items, for example, the number of blower operations 51a, the air flow rate 51b, the opening degree 51c of the air release valve, and the water injection amount can be input by the operator or the control device. 51d, valve opening 51e, coal supply amount 51f, sand supply amount 51g, blow flow rate 51h, and the like. The setting items defined as these causes are indicated as parent nodes in the Bayesian network. In addition, the result 52 including a plurality of index items includes, for example, a pressure deviation 52a, a heat recovery amount 52b, an exhaust gas CO concentration, a boiler efficiency 52d, and the like as items that are indicators of the operation state in the sensor data. These index items defined as a result are indicated as child nodes in the Bayesian network. The relationship between the setting item and the index item is indicated by an arrow extending from the parent node to the child node. For example, an arrow extends from the blower operation count 51a and the air flow rate 51b to the pressure deviation 52a. Therefore, the pressure deviation 52a indicates that the blower operation frequency 51a and the air flow rate 51b are related. Each node has a probability table (Conditional Probability Table: CPT) (see FIG. 6).

Referring to FIG. 1, the model update unit 25 updates data included in the model of the Bayesian network based on the sensor data input from the data input unit 23. The updated model data is output to the model recording unit 24 and recorded.

The inference data calculation unit 26 is an estimation unit that calculates the degree of influence of the setting item on each index item based on the Bayesian network model and the target value of the index item input from the input device 21. More specifically, the inference data calculation unit 26 outputs the degree of influence of the setting item on the index item as a probability value. The output process of this probability value will be described later. Then, the inference data calculation unit 26 outputs the output result to the inference data processing unit 27.

The inference data processing unit 27 is a ranking unit that ranks a plurality of setting items based on the degree of influence of the setting item related to the index item on the index item. More specifically, the setting items are ranked based on the probability value calculated by the inference data calculation unit 26. Further, the inference data processing unit 27 compares the state of each ranked setting item with the state of the input value actually input to each setting item of the boiler 2. By this comparison, it is determined whether the state of the input value to the setting item is compatible with the state of the setting item obtained based on the Bayesian network model. The inference data processing unit 27 calculates statistics such as an average value, a maximum value, and a minimum value of the sensor data. The inference data processing unit 27 outputs the determined results and statistics to the report creation unit 28.

The report creation unit 28 uses the target value of the setting item with the higher rank and the input value of the setting item with the higher rank to generate report data that displays information for controlling the index item to the target value. Means. The report creation unit 28 outputs the created data to the output device 22. For example, when the output device 22 is a display, the report is displayed on the screen. If the output device 22 is a printer, the report is printed on a paper medium.

As described above, according to the driving diagnosis apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the inference data calculation unit 26 calculates the degree of influence of each of the plurality of setting items on each of the plurality of index items. According to this driving diagnosis apparatus 1, in order to satisfy the target values given to a plurality of index items at the same time, it is possible to extract setting items having a large degree of influence based on probability values. Moreover, the tendency of the value which each extracted setting item should take is obtained. Therefore, the operation diagnosis apparatus 1 for the boiler 2 does not require the judgment of a skilled worker, provides the information necessary for diagnosing the operation state of the boiler 2 and simultaneously satisfying the target values of a plurality of index items. can do.

Next, a driving diagnosis method using the driving diagnosis apparatus 1 will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating main steps of the driving diagnosis method. The driving diagnosis method includes a data input step S1 for inputting sensor data, a model reading step S2 for reading a Bayesian network model, a target value input step S3 for inputting a target value of an index item, and an inference for calculating inference data. It has a data calculation step S4, an inference data processing step S5 for processing inference data, and an output step S6 for outputting a report.

<Data input process S1>
In the data input step S <b> 1, the sensor data from the sensor group 14 set in the boiler 2 and the input value input in the setting item of the boiler 2 are input to the operation diagnosis device 1. The data input step S1 is mainly executed by the data input unit 23. The data collected in the data input step S1 is data for a long period such as one day, one week, or one month. The data may be directly input to the data input unit 23 from the sensor group 14 and the setting items arranged in the boiler 2, or the sensor data and the input values of the setting items are recorded on a recording medium (not shown). It is good also as reading from.

<Model reading process S2>
In the model reading step S <b> 2, the Bayesian network model recorded in the model recording unit 24 is read into the inference data calculation unit 26. This model reading step S2 is mainly executed by the model recording unit 24. This model reading step S2 includes an update determination step S2a for determining whether or not to update a probability table included in the model of the Bayesian network, an update step S2b for updating the probability table, and a reading step S2c for reading the model. Have.

First, in the update determination step S2a, it is determined whether to update the model. If it is determined to update the model (step S2a: YES), the process proceeds to the update step S2b, and the model update unit 25 updates the model. If it is determined not to update the model (step S2a: NO), the process proceeds to the reading step S2c.

<Update process S2b>
The update process S2b for updating the model is mainly executed by the model update unit 25. First, the model update unit 25 reads the plurality of sensor data input to the data input unit 23 and the probability table data included in the model recorded in the model recording unit 24. Here, the sensor data used for updating the model needs to be data when the boiler 2 is operated in an ideal state. Next, the value of each sensor data is discretized using a predetermined threshold value to classify it into several states. Subsequently, the probability that each classified state exists is calculated. That is, new probability table data is calculated using the sensor data input to the data input unit 23. The probability data is updated by taking the probability data of the calculated probability table into the probability data of the probability table recorded in the model recording unit 24. Thus, in the model based on Bayesian statistics, a past model can be easily taken in and a new model can be obtained. After performing update process S2b, it transfers to reading process S2c.

<Reading process S2c>
In the reading step S <b> 2 c, the Bayesian network model data recorded in the model recording unit 24 is read into the inference data calculation unit 26. The reading step S2c is mainly performed by the model recording unit 24 and the inference data calculation unit 26.

<Target value input process S3>
In the target value input step S3, the target value of the index item used for the calculation in the inference data calculation step S4 is read. The target value of the index item is based on an operation index such as operating the boiler 2 with high efficiency or reducing the discharge amount of environmental load substances. These target values are input using the input device 21 in a discrete state such that the boiler efficiency is “high” and the CO concentration of the exhaust gas is “low”, for example.

<Inference data calculation step S4>
The inference data calculation step S4 includes the target value of the index item input in the target value input step S3, the degree of the influence of the plurality of setting items on the index item, and the target value of the index item based on the Bayesian network model. This is an estimation step for estimating the target value of the setting item to satisfy the above. That is, the target value of the index item is input to the Bayesian network model, and the probability value for each setting item corresponding to the index item is calculated. The inference data calculation step S4 is mainly executed by the inference data calculation unit 26.

A method for calculating the probability value of the setting item using a Bayesian network model will be described in detail. Bayesian networks are based on Bayes' theorem based on the idea of conditional probabilities. First, the Bayes theorem will be explained. The probability that event A and event B occur simultaneously is referred to as the joint probability. On the other hand, the probability that event B will occur under the condition that event A has occurred is called the conditional probability that B will occur under A, and is expressed by the following equation (1).

The probability that event A will occur under the condition that event B has occurred is called the conditional probability that A will occur under B, and is expressed by the following equation (2).

Bayes' theorem is expressed by the following equation (3) using the above equations (1) and (2).

From the Bayes' theorem shown in equation (3), the probability that B will occur when A occurs (P (B | A)), and the probability that A will occur when B occurs (P (A | B) )) Can be calculated. In general, A is the cause and B is the result. That is, the probability that the cause A occurs when the result B occurs is calculated from the probability that the result B occurs when the cause A occurs.

FIG. 6 is an example of a Bayesian network composed of setting items and index items of the boiler 2. In this embodiment, the setting item is defined as cause A, and the index item is defined as result B. FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the state of the feed water flow rate and the exhaust gas concentration, and the relationship between the feed water temperature and the exhaust gas concentration in a Bayesian network. The Bayesian network model 60 includes a parent node 61 indicating the supply water flow rate as the cause A1, a parent node 62 indicating the supply water temperature as the cause A2, and a child node 63 indicating the exhaust gas concentration as the result B. The parent node 61 as the cause A1 is connected to the child node 63 by an arrow 64 directed to the child node 63 as the result B. Further, the parent node 62 that is the cause A2 is connected to the child node 63 by an arrow 65 directed to the child node 63 that is the result B.

These

parent nodes

61 and 62 and child nodes 63 have probability tables 61a, 62a and 63a. A probability table 61a which is a first probability table possessed by the parent node 61 divides the water supply flow rate into two states using a predetermined threshold, and indicates the probability that each state exists. That is, the random variable is defined as 1 when the water supply flow rate is “high” and 0 when the water supply flow rate is “low”. The probability corresponding to the case where the random variable of the water supply flow rate is “high = 1” is a2, and the probability corresponding to the case where the water supply flow rate is “low = 0” is a1.

A probability table 62a, which is a first probability table possessed by the parent node 62, shows the probability that the water supply temperature is divided into two states using a predetermined threshold and each state exists. That is, the random variable is defined as 1 when the water supply temperature is “high” and 0 when the water supply temperature is “low”. The probability corresponding to the case where the random variable of the feed water temperature is “high = 1” is a4, and the probability corresponding to the case where the feed water temperature is “low = 0” is a3.

The probability table 63a, which is the second probability table of the child node 63, shows conditional probabilities regarding the parent node 61 that is the cause A1 and the parent node 62 that is the cause A2 of the child node 63 that is the result B. . Here, the exhaust gas concentration is illustrated as an index item included in the center data. The probability table 63a of the child node 63 shows the probability corresponding to each sensor data state by dividing the exhaust gas concentration, which is one of the sensor data, into two states using a predetermined threshold. That is, as a random variable, a state where the exhaust gas concentration is “high” is defined as 1, and a state where the exhaust gas concentration is “low” is defined as 0. For example, when the feed water flow rate A1 is “low” and the feed water temperature A2 is “low”, the probability that the exhaust gas concentration random variable is “low = 0” is b11, and the exhaust gas concentration random variable is “high”. The probability of “= 1” is b21.

From this Bayesian network model 60, when the exhaust gas concentration random variable B is 1, that is, when the exhaust gas concentration is high, the probability value when the feed water flow rate is high (A1 = 1) and the feed water temperature are high. A description will be given based on a calculation example for obtaining the probability value in the case of (A2 = 1).

First, when the exhaust gas concentration is high (B = 1), the probability value X1 when the feed water flow rate is high (A1 = 1) is calculated. The probability value X1 is represented by the following equation (4) using the above equation (3). In the equation (4), an event of A1 = 1 is simply indicated as A1, and an event of B = 1 is simply indicated as B.

Here, the molecule P (B) is represented by the following formula (5).

The denominator P (B | A1) is expressed by the following formula (6).

According to the above formulas (4), (5), and (6), when the exhaust gas concentration is high, a probability value X1 with a high feed water flow rate is obtained.

Next, when the exhaust gas concentration is high (B = 1), a probability value X2 when the feed water temperature is high (A2 = 1) is calculated. The probability value X2 is represented by the following equation (7) using the above equation (3). In Equation (7), an event with A2 = 1 is simply denoted as A2, and an event with B = 1 is simply denoted as B.

Here, the molecule P (B) is calculated by the above formula (5). The denominator P (B | A2) is expressed by the following equation (8).

According to the above formulas (5), (7), and (8), when the exhaust gas concentration is high, a probability value X2 with a high feed water temperature is obtained.

From the above calculation, when the exhaust gas concentration is high (B = 1), the probability value X1 when the feed water flow rate is high (A1 = 1), and when the exhaust water concentration is high (B = 1), the feed water temperature is high (A2). = 1) probability value X2 is calculated. Based on the probability value X1 and the probability value X2, the degree of influence of each setting item such as the feed water flow rate and the feed water temperature on the index item such as the exhaust gas concentration and the target value of the setting item for satisfying the target value of the index item are estimated. can do. For example, when the probability value X1 is larger than the probability value X2, it is assumed that the degree of influence on the exhaust gas concentration, which is an index item, is greater in the feed water flow rate than in the feed water temperature.

As described above, when the Bayesian network model is applied to the operation diagnosis of the boiler 2, the cause A is defined as a setting item and the result B is defined as sensor data. If the probability P (B | A) of the index item included in the sensor data obtained when the setting item is in a predetermined state is calculated from the past data, the state of the index item is a predetermined target value. The probability P (A | B) of the setting item at the time can be inferred.

Note that the value taken by the random variable (0 or 1 in the above example) is handled as a discrete value due to restrictions on the processing capability of the computer. Therefore, when handling sensor data having continuous values, it is necessary to perform a process of discretization such as high, medium, and low using a predetermined threshold.

<Inference data processing step S5>
As shown in FIG. 5, the inference data processing step S <b> 5 performs data processing necessary for creating a report on the data calculated by the inference data calculation unit 26. This inference data processing step S5 has a ranking step S5a and a comparison step S5b. In the ranking step S5a, a plurality of setting items are ranked based on the degree of influence (probability value) of the setting item on the index item. The ranking step S5a is mainly executed by the inference data processing unit 27. For example, as the target value of the ideal operating state of the boiler 2, the boiler efficiency is set high, and the discharge concentration of environmentally hazardous substances is set low. From the target value and the Bayesian network model, the setting items corresponding to the respective index items and the states that the setting items can take are obtained from the probability values. The setting item having the largest probability value is set as the first rank, and the rank is determined with the magnitude of the probability value as the magnitude of the degree of influence. If the probability values of the setting items with respect to the index items are ranked in descending order and the setting items are sequentially improved from the setting items with the highest probability, the operation state of the boiler 2 approaches an ideal state. Further, in the comparison step S5b, the state of the input value input to the setting item of the boiler 2 is compared with the state of the setting item that satisfies the target value of the index item calculated in the inference data calculation step S4. Based on this comparison, it is determined whether the state of the input value input to the setting item of the boiler 2 matches the state of the setting item that satisfies the target value of the index item calculated in the inference data calculation step S4. In the inference data processing step S5, a statistic during the evaluation target period is calculated for each sensor data. Statistics include an average value, a maximum value, a minimum value, and the like.

<Output step S6>
In the output step S6, information for controlling the index item to the target value is output by using the target value of the setting item with the higher ranking given by the inference data processing step S5 and the input value of the setting item with the higher ranking. To do. This output step S6 is mainly executed by the report creating unit 28. The data created in the output step S6 is output to a display or printer that is the output device 22. An example of the report is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the report 70 includes a table 71 that displays an index item of the operation state of the boiler 2 and a table 72 that displays information necessary for improving the operation state.

In the table 71 of the report 70, information indicating the operation state of the boiler 2 is displayed. This table 71 includes a column 71a for displaying the index item, a column 71b for displaying the statistics of the index item data acquired by the sensor group 14, and a column 71c for displaying the result of discretizing the index item data. There is. The statistics include, for example, an average value, a maximum value, and a minimum value. Also, the discretized result includes a discretized state such as “low”, “medium”, and “high” as in a column indicating boiler efficiency, and “low” is less than 90.2. The threshold used for discretization such that “medium” is 90.2 or more and less than 93.4, “high” is 93.4 or more, “low” is 13.5%, and “medium” is 74. The probability distribution of each state is 5%, and “high” is 12%.

The table 72 of the report 70 displays information on settings necessary for bringing the operation state of the boiler 2 close to an ideal state, which is information for controlling the index item to the target value. The table 72 includes a column 72a for displaying a setting item with a high rank assigned by the ranking step S5a, a column 72b for displaying a desirable state of the setting item, and a setting item which is an input value of the setting item with a high rank. There are a column 72c for displaying the state of the above and a column 72d for indicating the diagnosis result for the setting item for improving the driving state. For example, referring to the column showing the blow flow rate, it is desirable that the blow flow rate be large, and the current state is (large / medium / small) with a large proportion being 0%, and an input is made to increase the blow flow rate. It can be seen that it is desirable to adjust the values.

As described above, according to the driving diagnosis method according to the present embodiment, the degree of influence of each of the plurality of setting items on each of the plurality of index items is calculated using a Bayesian network. According to this method, since the target values given to a plurality of index items are satisfied at the same time, it is possible to extract setting items having a large degree of influence. Moreover, the tendency of the value which each extracted setting item should take is obtained. Therefore, the operation diagnosis method for the boiler 2 does not require the judgment of a skilled worker, and can provide settings necessary for simultaneously satisfying target values of a plurality of index items.

In the driving diagnosis method according to the present embodiment, the data input step of acquiring the input value input to the setting item and the sensor data that is the measurement value of the index item acquired by the sensor provided in the boiler 2.
