Abstract

To address the pressing need for intelligent and efficient control of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) units, it is crucial to develop a dynamic model for the key operating parameters of supercritical circulating fluidized bed (SCFB) units. Therefore, data-knowledge-driven dynamic model of bed temperature, load, and main steam pressure of the SCFB unit has been proposed. Firstly, a knowledge-driven method is employed to develop a dynamic model for key operating parameters of SCFB units. The model parameters are determined based on the operating data of the unit and continuously optimized in real time. Then, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory combined with Convolutional Neural Network and Attention Mechanism is utilized to build the dynamic model of bed temperature, load, and main steam pressure. Finally, a collaboration and integration method based on the critic weight method and the variation coefficient method is proposed to establish data-knowledge-driven model of key operating parameters for SCFB units. The model displays great accuracy and fitting ability compared with other methods and effectively captures the dynamic characteristics, which can provide a research basis for the design of intelligent flexible control mode of SCFB unit.
