Data-Driven-Based Intelligent Alarm Method of Ultra-Supercritical Thermal Power Units.

In order to ensure the safe operation of the ultra-supercritical thermal power units (USCTPUs), this paper proposes an intelligent alarm method to enhance the performance of the alarm system. Firstly, addressing the issues of slow response and high missed alarm rate (MAR) in traditional alarm systems, a threshold optimization method is proposed by integrating kernel density estimation (KDE) and convolution optimization algorithm (COA). Based on the traditional approach, the expected detection delay (EDD) indicator is introduced to better evaluate the response speed of the alarm system. By considering the false alarm rate (FAR), and EDD, a threshold optimization objective function is constructed, and the COA is employed to obtain the optimal alarm threshold. Secondly, to address the problem of excessive nuisance alarms, this paper reduces the number of nuisance alarms by introducing an adaptive delay factor into the existing system. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly reduces the MAR and EDD, improves the response speed and performance of the alarm system, and effectively reduces the number of nuisance alarms, thereby enhancing the quality of the alarms.
