Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the industrial field. Various embodiments of the teachings herein include linearization processing methods and/or devices for nonlinear models, and a computer-readable storage medium in integrated energy systems.


BACKGROUND

Distributed energy systems (DESs) are considered to be an effective way of addressing unstable consumption of renewable energies. DESs are being built all over the world and there is an increasing demand for models used for operational optimization and for overall scheduling of the systems in terms of energy production and utilization. Previous researchers have developed specific models for operational optimization that are only applicable to systems with specific energy sources and components. Thus, their models do not meet the requirements of the emerging integrated energy services in practical implementation.


Therefore, it is necessary to provide a universal integrated energy system, to make full use of renewable energies, fossil fuels, residual heat and pressure, new energies and other forms of resources, so that they can supplement each other, and to establish innovative business models through flexible operation of energy sources, the grid, loads and energy storage facilities, to achieve high-quality, high-efficiency, and the most economical integrated regional supply of power, heating, cooling, gas, etc. to various loads with good environmental effects by use of smart means, so that the requirements of random changes in the terminal loads are met. Integrated energy systems promote the consumption capacity of renewable energies and improve the overall utilization rate of energy.


However, in the process of implementing an integrated energy system as above, models need to be established for a lot of equipment, which usually incorporates many nonlinear physical processes (also called underlying processes), such as the processes related to flow and pressure in the compressor of a gas turbine, the process of converting mechanical energy into pressure energy, etc., and thus the models of such equipment are generally nonlinear models. A nonlinear model usually has a complicated modeling process, but as a result the accuracy is relatively high. However, if the nonlinear models are directly used to run the simulation of an integrated energy system, the relatively low running speed of nonlinear models may affect the real-time performance of simulating an entire integrated energy system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In some embodiments, a segmented linearization technique is used to process nonlinear models to obtain a tensor table. In addition, in simulation application, interpolation is performed based on the tensor table, to obtain the required simulation data. A linearized equipment model runs faster and can meet the real-time requirement in simulation.


In addition, in the equipment modeling, a universal model of a nonlinear underlying process may be obtained by establishing a descriptive formula of the nonlinear underlying process by use of the ratio of a similarity parameter supported by a similarity criterion to a similarity parameter based on design point data for each target nonlinear underlying process of each type of equipment, and the model is applicable to one type of equipment as a universal model. Moreover, the universal model comprises a variable parameter that changes nonlinearly as a parameter of the actual working condition changes, and the variable parameter can be obtained by machine learning through establishing a machine learning algorithm between the parameter of the actual working condition and the variable parameter, so that the universal model is capable of self-learning.


Furthermore, for one specific piece of equipment of the type of equipment, historical data of the parameter of the actual working condition and the variable parameter corresponding to a target nonlinear underlying process of the specific piece of equipment can be obtained for each target nonlinear underlying process, and the historical data is used to train the machine learning algorithm, to obtain a training model of the variable parameter of the target nonlinear underlying process; the training model of the variable parameter of the target nonlinear underlying process is substituted into the universal model of the target nonlinear underlying process, to obtain a trained model of the target nonlinear underlying process of the specific piece of equipment, i.e., an instantiated model conforming to the characteristics of the specific piece of equipment.


In addition, by setting the default value of the variable parameter in advance, it is possible to make the nonlinear model available where site conditions do not permit training the variable parameter, for example, when there is not enough historical data, etc.


Lastly, the modeling method in the embodiments of the present invention may be applied to various nonlinear processes of different types of equipment, with easy implementation and high accuracy. The following example embodiments will further illustrate the teachings of the present disclosure in detail in order to clarify its purpose, technical solution and advantages.



FIG. 1 is an exemplary flowchart of a linearization processing method for nonlinear models incorporating teachings of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method may comprise:


Step 101, for a nonlinear model of each piece of equipment, determining a value range of each input parameter of the model. For example, the effective power range is 50% to 110% of the rated power, and there is also the range of change in the local ambient temperature, the range of change in the ambient pressure, etc.


Step 102, dividing the value range of each input parameter into a plurality of subintervals based on a plurality of interpolation points. In this step, the value range of each input parameter may be divided into a plurality of subintervals based on a plurality of interpolation points based on a balancing criterion. Specifically, for the setting of interpolation points, more interpolation points may be set in regions with drastic nonlinear changes, while fewer interpolation points may be set in regions with slow nonlinear changes. For example, 40 points are interpolated for the power range, 20 points are interpolated for the ambient temperature, 5 points are interpolated for the ambient pressure, etc.


Step 103, determining a plurality of input sample values in each subinterval in a balanced manner. In this step, a plurality of input sample values in each subinterval may be determined in a balanced manner based on a balancing criterion. For example, equal division may be used for power, ambient temperature, etc. in the real domain.


Step 104, traversing input sample value combinations of each input parameter of the model, and using the nonlinear model to obtain an output sample value combination corresponding to each input sample value combination. For example, there is one set of outputs corresponding to each set of input sample values obtained by traversing, for example, efficiency output, or fuel consumption or emission output, operation cost output, etc.


Step 105, using all the input sample value combinations and the corresponding output sample value combinations to generate a tensor table. For example, when the values of the abovementioned three dimensions of temperature, pressure and power are known, the value of efficiency can be obtained by interpolation through looking up the tensor table. In some embodiments, during simulation by use of the model of the equipment, the tensor table is looked up according to a current value of each input parameter, and the corresponding value found in the tensor table is used to perform interpolation processing to obtain a corresponding output value. In the process, the current value of each input parameter may be a real value or an assumed value.


For example, there may be one or more tables for one piece of equipment, for example, one table where temperature, pressure and power correspond to efficiency, one table where temperature, pressure and power correspond to emission, or correspond to any other desired parameter. In the process, the interpolation algorithm may be selected based on actual conditions. For example, linear interpolation, nonlinear interpolation, etc. may be selected. In one example, linear interpolation may be used for points close to each other, while nonlinear interpolation may be used for points far away from each other.


The values of other output variables corresponding to the required temperature, pressure and performance can be obtained by spline interpolation of the three dimensions of temperature, pressure and power. This general method uses a general program, and all kinds of specific models, for example, the models of heat pumps, internal combustion engines, heat exchangers, etc. can be processed by this segment of code as the tool.



FIG. 2 is an exemplary flowchart of a modeling method for nonlinear models incorporating teachings of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may comprise:


Step 201, determining complete design point data for each target nonlinear underlying process of each type of equipment. In this step, an underlying process may sometimes be referred to as a physical process, for example, a heat transfer process, a process for converting electrical energy, and a process related to flow and pressure as mentioned previously. For each device, the underlying processes of interest can be determined, i.e., the underlying processes that need to be modeled. These underlying processes that need to be modeled are referred to as target underlying processes, and those nonlinear target underlying processes can be referred to as target nonlinear underlying processes.


For example, for gas turbines, the target nonlinear underlying processes may include: a process related to flow and pressure in the expansion turbine, a process of energy conversion between thermal energy and mechanical energy, etc.; for heat pumps, the target nonlinear underlying processes may include: a heat transfer process, a process of converting electrical energy to thermal energy, a chemical process of separate solution substances by use of high-temperature thermal energy, an electrochemical process, a pipeline resistance process, a process related to flow and pressure, etc. In addition, for equipment such as gas turbines, heat pumps, internal combustion engines, steam turbines, waste heat boilers, absorption refrigerators, heating machines, multi-effect evaporators, water electrolyzers for hydrogen production, equipment for producing chemicals from hydrogen, reverse osmosis devices, fuel cells, boilers, etc., the target nonlinear underlying processes of each piece of equipment may include one or more of the following: a process related to flow and pressure, a process of converting thermal energy to mechanical energy, a process of converting electrical energy to cold or heat energy, a process of pipeline resistance, a heat transfer process, a rectification process, an evaporation process, a filtration process, a chemical reaction process, an electrochemical process, etc.


For each nonlinear underlying process, the complete design point data can be restored according to the published basic design parameters and the common design point information provided to the user by the manufacturer. For example, for a general model of a process related to flow and pressure, its design point data may comprise the pressure ratio, air flow, etc., and, based on these design point data, relevant design parameters not available to users can be derived, such as the efficiency, inlet resistance, air extraction volume, etc.


Step 202, establishing a descriptive formula of the nonlinear underlying process by use of the ratio of a similarity parameter supported by a similarity criterion to a similarity parameter based on design point data, to obtain a universal model of the nonlinear underlying process; wherein the universal model comprises a variable parameter that changes as a parameter of an actual working condition changes. In this step, a parameter of an actual working condition refers to a parameter of a specific piece of equipment that changes as the parameters of the actual working condition change. For example, it may be a dimension that changes as mechanical wear occurs after a long time of use, or the temperature that changes as the season changes, or relevant parameters that change as the work condition varies. The variable parameter may have a preset default value.


Since there may be different models for each type of equipment, for example, there may be compressors with different powers such as 5M, 50M, 500M, etc., in order to establish a universal model of compressors, it is necessary to adopt a similarity criterion to support a similarity parameter to replace a specific parameter value. For example, still taking the universal model of the above process related to flow and pressure as an example, the similarity parameters supported by the similarity criteria of flow, pressure and power are used instead of the specific parameters. For example, the similarity criteria of flow may be expressed by formula (1) below:

where G1 is the flow, T1 is the temperature, P1 is the pressure, G0 is the flow of the corresponding deign point, T0 is the temperature of the corresponding design point, and P0 is the pressure of the corresponding design point.


Accordingly, the universal model of a process related to flow and pressure may be expressed by formula (2) below:

where f( ) is a function, coefficients a and b are variable parameters that change as the parameters of the actual working condition change, and in practical application, a default value may be set for the variable parameters a and b. IGV is the angle of the inlet adjustable guide vane.


Step 203, constructing a machine learning algorithm between the parameter of the actual working condition and the variable parameter. In this step, a machine learning algorithm between the parameter of the actual working condition and the variable parameter may be constructed based on an intelligent neural network or a method supporting big data analysis for machine learning such as vector machines, etc.


Step 204, taking the universal models of all the target nonlinear underlying processes of each type of equipment and the correlated machine learning algorithms as a universal model of the type of equipment. It can be seen that a nonlinear universal model can be established for each type of equipment through the above process. An integrated energy system platform can be constructed based on these universal models.


In practical application, after purchasing the integrated energy system platform, the user needs to build their own integrated energy system. At this point, each universal model needs to be associated with specific equipment on site, and thus the universal models need to be instantiated. Accordingly, the method may further comprise:


Step 205, for each target nonlinear underlying process of one specific piece of equipment of the type of equipment, obtaining historical data of the parameter of the actual working condition and the variable parameter corresponding to the target nonlinear underlying process of the specific piece of equipment, and using the historical data to train the corresponding machine learning algorithm, to obtain a training model of the variable parameter of the target nonlinear underlying process. In this step, during specific training, a set of historical data of the parameter of the actual working condition is used as input sample values, the historical data of the variable parameter corresponding to the set of historical data of the parameter of the actual working condition is used as output sample values, and a large number of input sample values and the corresponding output sample values are used to train the machine learning algorithm, to obtain a self-learning model of the variable parameter, also referred to as a training model.


For example, still taking the abovementioned process related to flow and pressure as an example, the historical data of the relevant parameters of the actual working condition of a gas turbine on site and the historical data of the corresponding variable parameters can be obtained, to obtain the input and output sample sets, and a trained model of the variable parameters a and b can be obtained through training.


Step 206, substituting the training model of the variable parameter of the target nonlinear underlying process into the universal model of the target nonlinear underlying process, to obtain a trained model of the target nonlinear underlying process of the specific piece of equipment. The trained model is a self-learning model capable of learning. In this step, according to the correlation between the machine learning algorithm and the universal model, the training model of the variable parameter of the target nonlinear underlying process can be substituted into the universal model of the target nonlinear underlying process.


For example, still taking the abovementioned process related to flow and pressure as an example, by inputting the current training model of the variable parameters a and b into formula (2) above, the universal model of the process related to flow and pressure of the compressor of the gas turbine on site can be obtained.


Step 207, taking the trained models of all the target nonlinear underlying processes of the specific piece of equipment as a universal model of the specific piece of equipment. In actual use, the input parameters of the trained model may include the input parameters required for the trained models of all the target nonlinear underlying processes.
