It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present invention.

[0048] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms “first”, “second” and “third” are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0050] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0051] Embodiment 1

[0052] A fire zoning and fire linkage control method for an energy storage power station, Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows an overall flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0053] Obtain multi-angle first images of the fire in the energy storage power station; obtain the first image through the monitoring equipment of the energy storage power station, because the monitoring equipment is set in various locations. When a fire occurs in the energy storage power station, obtain the multi-angle first images, which include the fire image.

[0054] According to the first image, a fire center and a fire area are obtained. The specific contents of obtaining the fire center and the fire area are not limited herein. Optionally, in this embodiment, according to the first image, obtaining the fire center and the fire area includes:

[0055] A coordinate system is constructed, wherein the center of the energy storage power station is the origin, the first direction of the energy storage power station is the X-axis, the second direction of the energy storage power station is the Y-axis, and the direction perpendicular to the plane of the energy storage power station is the Z-axis; the first direction here can be any direction parallel to the horizontal plane, and the second direction is a direction parallel to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the first direction; the constructed coordinate system not only takes the center of the energy storage power station as the origin, but also needs to ensure that the image data acquired by all monitoring equipment can be accurately mapped to this coordinate system, which involves the calibration of the monitoring equipment, including the precise measurement and adjustment of parameters such as focal length, angle, and position.

[0056] Respectively identifying the flame coordinates of the flame in the first image at multiple angles in the constructed coordinate system; the first image includes the flame, and identifying the flame coordinate features in the first image at multiple angles includes obtaining the flame coordinate features using the following formula:

[0057]

[0058] Wherein, (u, v) represents the pixel coordinates of the flame in the first image; K is the intrinsic matrix of the device that obtains the first image, R and t are the rotation matrix and translation vector from the constructed coordinate system to the coordinate system of the device that obtains the first image, and (x', y', z') are the flame coordinate features in the constructed coordinate system. The rotation matrix R and the translation vector t describe the transformation relationship from the constructed coordinate system (world coordinate system) to the camera coordinate system (or device coordinate system). This is determined by the external parameters of the camera (i.e., the position and orientation of the camera). Detect the flame in the first image. This can be achieved by methods such as color thresholding, texture analysis, machine learning or deep learning. Once the flame is detected, the pixel coordinates (u, v) of its boundary or center point (such as the center of mass) can be determined; using the known camera intrinsic matrix K, the rotation matrix R and the translation vector t, the pixel coordinates (u, v) of the flame are converted into coordinates (x', y', z') in the three-dimensional world coordinate system. Since the flame is observed from multiple angles, the flame coordinates are identified from multiple first images and merged into a unified constructed coordinate system.

[0059] fusing a plurality of the flame coordinates to generate a flame characteristic graph;

[0060] This feature map can be a three-dimensional voxel grid containing the probability or intensity information of the flame; or it can be a two-dimensional projection map used to display the distribution and shape of the flame on a plane. In this embodiment, the flame coordinates in the first image of multiple angles are fused to generate a flame feature map; including:

[0061] The flame coordinates in the first images of multiple angles are marked in the constructed coordinate system to obtain several marked points; the flame coordinates are identified from the first image of each angle, and these coordinates are converted into the constructed coordinate system. Since multiple cameras may capture different parts of the same flame at the same time, there may be redundancy between the marked points. In addition, due to factors such as image noise, illumination changes, occlusion, etc., the marked points may also contain errors. In order to reduce redundancy and errors, the following method is optionally used: by comparing the spatial positions of the marked points, those duplicate points whose positions are very close, that is, the distance is less than a certain threshold are removed. Statistical filtering such as mean filtering, median filtering or model-based filtering such as Kalman filtering is applied to smooth the position of the marked points to reduce noise and errors. Anomaly detection algorithms such as statistical-based methods, density-based methods or distance-based methods are used to identify and remove outliers that are significantly deviated from other marked points.

[0062] The plurality of annotated points are connected to generate a flame signature graph. After obtaining a plurality of annotated points, they are connected to form a complete flame signature graph. This involves matching and fusion problems between curves; optionally, the connection method includes directly connecting adjacent points; using a graph theory algorithm to find the optimal connection path, or using a machine learning model to predict and fill in the gaps between points. In this embodiment,

[0063] The several labeled curves are connected using the following formula:

[0064]

[0065] Among them, u represents the independent variable parameter, u∈[0,1]; d i Represents the annotation point, n is the number of annotation points; N i,k (u) represents the k-order B-spline basis function; ω i Represents the weight factor.

[0066] Using the center point algorithm, according to the generated flame characteristic graph, obtaining the fire center of the flame characteristic graph includes:

[0067] The fire center of the flame signature is calculated using the following formula,

[0068]

[0069] Among them, (x i ,y i ) represents the coordinates of the outer contour of the flame characteristic diagram, i = 1, 2, ..., n; (x m ,y m ) represents the coordinates of the fire center.

[0070] According to the fire center and fire area, the energy storage power station is divided into multiple fire zones. The fire zone is the area formed by the fusion of multiple marked points, including:

[0071] According to the battery type and fire area of ​​the energy storage power station, the fire spread speed is predicted with the fire center as the starting point, and the energy storage power station is divided into high-risk fire zones, medium-risk fire zones and low-risk fire zones;

[0072] The fire spread rate is predicted by the following formula:

[0073]

[0074] Where R represents the fire spread speed, I R It represents the heat released per unit area per minute; ζ represents the windless flux ratio; φ w represents the wind influence coefficient, φ s is the slope influence coefficient, ρb represents the density of combustibles in the energy storage power station; σ represents the surface area to volume ratio, Q represents the heat required for the combustibles in the energy storage power station to be ignited, e -bd It means that the fire spread speed decays exponentially with the increase of distance; c is a very small positive value.

[0075] Based on the preset fire linkage control strategy and the multiple fire zones that have been divided, corresponding fire zone control is carried out.

[0076] In this embodiment, high-risk fire zones include fire centers, fire areas, and areas where the fire spread speed is within a first threshold range; high-risk fire zones are set as critical values ​​where the fire spreads extremely quickly, the fire is difficult to control, and poses a serious threat to personnel and equipment. In this area, emergency response procedures must be initiated immediately to evacuate personnel and select appropriate fire extinguishing methods and fire extinguishing agents based on the type and size of the fire.

[0077] The medium-risk fire zone is located outside the high-risk fire zone and is an area where the fire spread speed is within the second threshold range; it is between high risk and low risk, and the fire spreads faster but is still controllable; some measures will be taken to prevent the spread of fire, and measures to isolate the source of fire will be set up in this area to cut off the path of fire spread, control the development of the fire, and protect the surrounding area.

[0078] The low-risk fire zone is located outside the medium-risk fire zone. It is an area where the fire spread speed is within the third threshold range. The fire spread speed is slow and only needs to be monitored.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first image is acquired by the monitoring device of the energy storage power station. Since the monitoring device is set at various locations, the first image of multiple angles is acquired. The combination of multi-angle image acquisition and image recognition technology can quickly and accurately identify the fire center and fire area; through fire zoning, the energy storage power station is divided into multiple areas with different fire risks, which not only makes it possible to more reasonably allocate and utilize firefighting resources, but also prevents excessive firefighting and protects more energy storage batteries from fire and firefighting damage.
