Considering the varying operation conditions and ambient constraints, the in-depth energy conservation of thermal power units is confronting new challenges. Based on the already made ‘energy-consumption benchmark state’ concept, the description of energy-consumption benchmark state was obtained in this paper to describe the economic performance of coal-fired power thermal system with the varying operation boundary, operation conditions and equipment performance. Breaking the limitations of traditional modelling which always make statistic analysis and mechanism analysis isolate, hybrid modeling method synthesizing the merit of the mechanism analysis and statistical method was proposed. Considering the heat transfer characteristics of thermal system, this model make the energy-consumption of unit correspondence with parameter sets of thermal system. Optimized parameter sets were gained with the fuel specific consumption setting as the optimization objective, thus obtain the energy-consumption benchmark state in thermal system of coal-fired units. The results show that the method for determining energy-consumption benchmark state in the thermal system of coal-fired units based on hybrid model makes significant reference for the energy-saving diagnosis and operation optimization of thermal power units under overall working conditions.

The in-depth energy conservation of thermal power units is confronting new challenges under the varying operation conditions and ambient constraints. Compared with traditional optimal values, the description of energy-consumption benchmark state was proposed to describe the economic performance of thermal power units with the varying operation boundary, operation conditions and equipment performance. The energy consumption interactions of units were divided into 4 parts: parameters, equipment, subsystems and units. The models for energy-consumption benchmark states were established with the fuel specific consumption (FSC) setting as the optimization objective. Such a method was performed on a 600MW supercritical power unit and the results show that the energy-consumption benchmark state, which is related with the varying boundary, can reflect the boundary condition, operation lever and equipment performance. It makes significant reference for the energy-saving diagnosis and operation optimization of thermal power units under overall working conditions.

An accurate and reliable energy-consumption model is the key to operation optimization and energy-saving diagnosis of thermal power units especially under different operation conditions and boundaries. Conventional mathematical and data-driven modeling methods were overviewed and compared in this paper. A hybrid modeling based on thermodynamic theory and fuzzy rough set (FRS) method was proposed to process the great volume of operation data and describe the energy-consumption behavior of thermal power units. On this basis, the operation optimization was performed with intelligent computation methods to derive the realizable benchmark state with the whole set of operation parameters. The resultant optimum operation state reflects the exterior factors and system behavior, taking practical guidelines for the modeling and optimization of large thermal power units.

Energy-saving management is playing increasingly important parts in the energy conservation of thermal power generation. The economic performance indexes were decomposed and clarified to set a delicacy energy-saving management system. With the great volume of operation data, an fuzzy rough set (FRS) –based big data analytics were introduced to build the intelligent energy-saving decision-making model. Based on such energy-saving management system, the operation optimization practice was performed on a 600MW thermal power unit to determine the optimum working state under specific operation conditions. The result shows that the proposed energy-saving management can makes great guidelines for the operation optimization and energy-saving diagnosis of thermal power units.

As to the nonlinear and time-varying problems of the energy consumption model, this paper proposes an adaptive hybrid modeling method. Firstly, the recursive least squares algorithm with adaptive forgetting factor based on fuzzy algorithm and recursive least squares algorithm is used to identify the simplified mechanism energy consumption model, which solves the data saturation phenomenon and the weights of the “old and new” data during the online identification process and guarantees the adaptability of the mechanism model. Secondly, because there is a deviation between the identified model and the simplified mechanism energy consumption model, the deviation compensation model of mechanism model is established through kernel partial least squares algorithm and the model updating strategy with sliding window, which is used to update the deviation compensation model, and then the adaptive hybrid model is established by combining with the mechanism model identified online and updated deviation compensation model. Finally, the effectiveness, generalization and adaptability of the model are verified by the actual operating data of a single working condition and variable working conditions. And comparing with the mechanism model and the data model, The comparison results show that the adaptive hybrid model has higher calculation accuracy with adaptation.

The operation optimization for the cold end system is an efficient means to improve the economy of steam turbine units. To compensate for the inadequacy of the traditional mechanism analysis utilized in obtaining actual operating characteristics of the cold end system, the prediction model of the exhaust pressure was established on the basis of mechanism analysis combined with data from the operation process. An online adaptive updating strategy was introduced to guarantee the modeling accuracy. A discrete model of the cooling tower outlet water temperature (CTOWT) was constructed based on the operation data partitioned into different groups according to the pump operating mode change (POMC). Combining the above two models, the coupled model of the cold end system was therefore obtained. A model-based operation optimization system was then implemented for the cold end system in a coal-fired power plant. Experimental trials authenticate that the optimization suggestions provided by the system can effectively enhance the benefit of power generation.

Buildings account for a large proportion of the total energy consumption in many countries and almost half of the energy consumption is caused by the Heating, Ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. The model predictive control of HVAC is a complex task due to the dynamic property of the system and environment, such as temperature and electricity price. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is a model-free method that utilizes the “trial and error” mechanism to learn the optimal policy. However, the learning efficiency and learning cost are the main obstacles of the DRL method to practice. To overcome this problem, the hybrid-model-based DRL method is proposed for the HVAC control problem. Firstly, a specific MDPs is defined by considering the energy cost, temperature violation, and action violation. Then the hybrid-model-based DRL method is proposed, which utilizes both the knowledge-driven model and the data-driven model during the whole learning process. Finally, the protection mechanism and adjusting reward methods are used to further reduce the learning cost. The proposed method is tested in a simulation environment using the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) electricity price data and New South Wales temperature data. Simulation results show that 1) the DRL method can reduce the energy cost while maintaining the temperature satisfactory compared to the short term MPC method; 2) the proposed method improves the learning efficiency and reduces the learning cost during the learning process compared to the model-free method.
