[0002] In the field of smart grid, the intelligent and modern design of power distribution cabinets as a key component is crucial to improving the reliability and efficiency of power systems. With the continuous expansion of the scale of smart grid construction, the intelligence level of power systems is gradually improving. In this context, the intelligent and modern design of power distribution cabinets as an important part of smart grids has become particularly important.
[0003] However, the existing technology still has many problems in the intelligent design of distribution cabinets. Traditional distribution cabinets mostly use simple mechanical protection and monitoring, lacking the ability to monitor the operating status of the power system in real time and analyze data, resulting in the inefficient operation of electrical equipment in the power grid system. For example, experimental methods are often costly, time-consuming, and difficult to achieve continuous monitoring; while numerical simulations may lead to insufficient accuracy of prediction results due to improper model simplification and boundary condition settings. In addition, when dealing with complex thermal flow field problems, existing technologies often lack comprehensive consideration of the coupling effects of multiple physical fields, especially when dealing with challenges such as high line losses, poor reliability, and high pressure on new energy load management in distribution networks, such as the interaction between thermal coupling, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetism. Therefore, these problems limit the improvement of distribution cabinet performance optimization and fault prevention capabilities. Summary of the invention

[0022] Embodiment 1:
[0023] This embodiment provides a method for predicting thermal flow fields of a smart power distribution cabinet.
[0024] See also Figure 1 , the figure shows that the method includes step S100, step S200, step S300, step S400 and step S500.
[0025] S100. Perform cluster analysis on the acquired operation data of each area inside the smart power distribution cabinet, material properties, and component layout information of the equipment inside the cabinet to form a structured database as input parameters; the operation data includes temperature, flow, and pressure data, the material properties include plate type and coating material, and the component layout information includes equipment layout, equipment function, cable connection, and space utilization.
[0026] It is understandable that in this step, it should be noted that temperature data refers to the actual temperature readings of various areas inside the cabinet; flow data: involves the rate of air flow inside the cabinet, especially the effect of air flow driven by the fan on heat dissipation; pressure data: may involve pressure changes inside the cabinet, especially in a closed or semi-closed cabinet environment, pressure changes may affect cooling efficiency. Material properties include plate types: such as aluminum profiles or cold-rolled steel plates, etc. The thermal conductivity, heat resistance and mechanical strength of these materials have a direct impact on the heat dissipation and structural stability of the cabinet, coating materials: coating materials on the surface of the cabinet, such as orange grain, fine sand grain, etc., these coatings may affect the thermal radiation and appearance durability of the cabinet, and processing technology: such as 9-fold profile cabinets and 16-fold cabinets, etc., different processing technologies affect the structural stability and heat dissipation performance of the cabinet. In addition, the component layout information includes the installation layout of the equipment inside the cabinet, such as the distribution of AC distribution units, patch panels, active equipment, optical cable terminal boxes, etc. The equipment is arranged according to the function and cable connection needs, such as the arrangement order of switches, routers, and bridges, and in terms of space utilization, large equipment is installed at the bottom of the cabinet, and small equipment such as optical transceivers may be installed on trays, all of which affect the distribution of thermal flow fields inside the cabinet. By classifying and organizing this data, detailed input parameters can be provided for subsequent multi-physics field coupling simulation calculations, thereby more accurately simulating and predicting the thermal flow field and structural response inside the cabinet.
[0027] S200. Use multi-physics field simulation software to perform coupling calculations on the structured database, establish a thermal coupling model, a fluid dynamics model, and an electromagnetic model, and couple the three models representing different physical fields to obtain simulation results of the thermal flow field and structural response. The thermal coupling model is used to simulate the impact of temperature changes on the structure of the smart power distribution cabinet, the fluid dynamics model is used to simulate the impact of fan-driven air flow inside the smart power distribution cabinet on heat dissipation, and the electromagnetic model is used to simulate the impact of the electromagnetic field on the thermal flow field inside the cabinet.
[0028] It should be noted that the thermal flow field simulation results describe the heat distribution and flow inside the cabinet, including parameters such as temperature distribution, heat flux, and heat flux density, which describe how heat propagates and distributes inside the cabinet; while the structural response simulation results describe the physical responses of the cabinet structure under the influence of heat, such as deformation, stress, and displacement. Due to temperature changes, the metal parts inside the cabinet may expand thermally, which may cause structural deformation or stress concentration, affecting the stability and life of the cabinet. In other words, in short, it is based on three independent physical field models, through coupling and simulation calculations, to finally obtain the simulation results of the thermal flow field and structural response inside the cabinet.
[0029] In this step, it should be noted that the thermal coupling model is based on the heat conduction equation and the stress field equation. Each unit satisfies the heat conduction and mechanical equilibrium equations. Through the finite element method, these equations are converted into a solution format to obtain the equivalent conduction matrix, heat capacity matrix and equivalent node heat flow vector of the unit, as well as the stiffness matrix, node load and node temperature load; the fluid dynamics model uses the fluid dynamics model to simulate the air flow inside the cabinet through control equations such as the continuity equation, momentum equation (Navier-Stokes equation) and energy conservation equation, describes the flow characteristics and energy exchange of the fluid, and is discretized and solved through numerical methods such as the finite difference method and the finite element method; the electromagnetic model uses Maxwell's equations to describe the distribution and changes of the electromagnetic field. In COMSOL Multiphysics, the electromagnetic field interface can be used to simulate the electromagnetic field inside the cabinet, considering the influence of the electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnetic components on the thermal flow field.
[0030] In summary, by coupling the above three models, through the simulation environment provided by the "Model Builder", it is easy to simulate electromagnetic, structural, acoustic, fluid, heat transfer and other physical phenomena, and flexibly couple multiple physical phenomena in a single model. During the coupling process, the variables of one physical field are input to the corresponding position of another physical field to achieve data interaction and influence. The simulation results include temperature distribution inside the cabinet, fluid velocity and pressure distribution, electromagnetic field strength, etc. These results comprehensively reflect the thermal flow field state inside the cabinet, and its structural response includes deformation, stress and displacement caused by thermal expansion, etc. This information is crucial for evaluating the structural integrity and reliability of the cabinet.
[0031] It can be understood that the step S200 includes: Based on the operation data of each area inside the smart power distribution cabinet, the calculation formula for establishing the thermal coupling model is as follows: In the formula, M is the material density, is the specific heat capacity, Tis temperature, t is time, k is thermal conductivity, and Q is the internal heat source; The calculation formula for establishing the fluid dynamics model for simulating the air flow driven by the fan inside the cabinet is as follows:
[0032] In the formula, ρ is the fluid density, t is the time, z is the fluid velocity vector, and ∇⋅ is the divergence operator, which indicates the size of the source or sink of the vector field; For pressure, is the dynamic viscosity, f is the volume force vector; The calculation formula for establishing an electromagnetic model that simulates the influence of electromagnetic fields on the thermal flow field inside the cabinet is as follows:
[0033] Where D is the electric displacement field, is the free charge density, E is the electric field, and B is the magnetic field.
[0034] The three models are coupled to obtain simulation results of thermal flow field and structural response. The coupling process involves synchronization of data exchange and boundary conditions to ensure that the interaction between physical fields is properly handled. For example, the heat flux boundary condition in the fluid dynamics model may depend on the temperature distribution provided by the thermal coupling model, while the electromagnetic force in the electromagnetic model may affect the flow field in the fluid dynamics model. Through this coupling, the complex physical phenomena inside the cabinet can be simulated and its performance can be predicted. The simulation results include temperature distribution, velocity field, pressure distribution, and electromagnetic field strength, etc., providing a scientific basis for cabinet design and performance optimization.
[0035] Specifically, in the coupling calculation method, strong coupling and weak coupling calculations are involved, among which strong coupling (tight coupling) is suitable for theoretical analysis of coupling fields. The coupling effect is constructed into the control equation through unit matrix or load vector, and then the control equation is directly solved; while weak coupling (loose coupling) is suitable for numerical calculation of coupling fields. This method solves the fluid dynamic equation and the structural dynamic equation once in each step, and realizes the coupling of the two fields by applying the result of the first physical field as an external load to the second physical field. For weak coupling, its advantage is that the existing general fluid and structural software can be reused, and suitable solution methods can be formulated for each software separately. It should be noted that in the coupling calculation process, data exchange and iterative solution are required. The pressure or shear stress calculated by the fluid dynamics model (CFD) is used as the input load of the thermal coupling model. The structural displacement calculated by the thermal coupling model is used to correct the geometric boundary of the structure in the fluid domain according to this displacement. This process is solved iteratively between CFD and structural analysis (CSD) until it converges in each load step. Then the thermal coupling is analyzed. It is necessary to analyze the coupling of thermal temperature field and structural statics. It is necessary to analyze the three major heat transfer modes of thermodynamics (heat conduction, heat convection, and heat radiation). The analysis needs to consider the influence of temperature difference stress caused by different thermal expansion of the shell and tube due to temperature difference on the deformation coordination of tube sheet, heat exchange tube, tube sheet and tube box or shell cylinder. In addition, the electromagnetic model simulates the influence of electromagnetic field on the thermal flow field inside the cabinet. It is based on Maxwell's equations. The degree of interaction between charge and current in the electromagnetic field is described by coupling constant. After considering many factors, the simulation result is finally obtained through calculation.
[0036] In summary, the simulation results obtained through coupling calculation include: 1. Thermal flow field distribution: including temperature distribution, heat flux, etc., reflecting the thermal state inside the cabinet; 2. Structural response: including deformation and stress caused by thermal expansion or other thermal effects; 3. Fluid dynamics response: including velocity field, pressure field, etc., describing the air flow inside the cabinet; 4. Electromagnetic field response: including the distribution of electric and magnetic fields, and their potential impact on the thermal flow field.
[0037] S300, based on the simulation results, the set cells are preferentially inserted into the area with large temperature gradient through the adaptive mesh refinement algorithm, and then the mesh size is dynamically adjusted according to the error estimation to obtain the final refined mesh model.
[0038] It should be noted that in this step, the thermal flow field changes dramatically in places with large temperature gradients, requiring higher-precision simulation results. Therefore, this can be achieved through an adaptive mesh refinement algorithm, which dynamically adjusts the mesh size based on the error estimate. The local mesh refinement setting means that a smaller mesh size is used in these key areas, and thus in this scenario.h To capture more subtle changes in the thermal flow field and thus improve the simulation accuracy, the optimized mesh model will be used for subsequent simulation calculations to obtain more accurate thermal flow field and structural response results. Mesh optimization can be achieved by adjusting the mesh size, shape, and connection relationship to ensure that the mesh has good computing performance while maintaining high accuracy.
[0039] It can be understood that step S300 includes S301, S302 and S303, wherein: S301, according to the multi-physics field coupling simulation results, after local functional error estimation processing, determine the refinement area and obtain the error distribution map, the calculation formula of which is as follows:
[0040] In the formula, E ( h ) is the error estimate, is the numerical solution, u is the exact solution, Ω is the solution domain, h is the grid size, dx is a differential element; It is understood that this step mainly calculates the local error estimate for each element. This is usually based on the residual in the finite element method or the gradient-based error estimation method. For example, in thermal flow field analysis, the error estimate can be expressed as the local rate of change of the temperature gradient, which is used to identify areas with large temperature gradients.
[0041] S302, based on the error distribution graph, marking the refined units with large temperature gradients whose error estimation values exceed a preset threshold, and performing a refinement operation on the marked refined units to obtain a preliminary refined mesh model, wherein the refinement operation includes inserting new nodes into the refined units and splitting the original units; It is understood that for the marked elements, refinement operations are performed. This usually involves inserting new nodes in these elements and splitting the original elements into smaller elements. For example, in thermal flow field analysis, the h-adaptive method can be used to subdivide the elements into smaller elements to improve accuracy. Currently, it is only applicable to shell elements and is mainly used for metal forming simulation, compressive buckling of thin-walled structures and other problems.
[0042] S303, optimizing the preliminary refined mesh model through an adaptive mesh refinement algorithm, setting a global error tolerance, ensuring that the sum of the local error indicators of all units is equal to the global error tolerance, dynamically adjusting the mesh size, and obtaining a final refined mesh model.
[0043] In this step, the mesh is optimized to ensure that the mesh quality meets the simulation requirements, such as avoiding mesh distortion or overly slender cells. The optimized mesh model will be used for subsequent simulation calculations to obtain more accurate thermal flow field and structural response results. During the refinement process, the mesh size is dynamically adjusted according to the error estimate, which means that in areas with large errors, a smaller unit size is used to improve accuracy; in areas with small errors, the unit size can be appropriately increased to reduce the amount of calculation. Mesh optimization can be achieved by adjusting the mesh size, shape, and connection relationship to ensure that the mesh has good computing performance while maintaining high accuracy.
[0044] In this step S303, including S3031, S3032 and S3033, wherein: S3031. Set a global error tolerance tol for each unit. K , calculate its local error index, where the local error index is calculated based on the residual in the finite element method, and its calculation formula is as follows:
[0045] In the formula, For the K The local error index of each unit, C is a constant, For the K The diameter of the unit, that is, the size of the unit, For the K The H^2 norm of the exact solution on each element; S3032. The calculation formula for ensuring that the sum of the local error indicators of all units is equal to the global error tolerance tol is as follows:
[0046] In the formula, ∑ is a series of terms accumulated. K For each element in the model, For the K The local error index of each unit, tol is the global error tolerance; S3033, adjusting the mesh size, and refining the adjusted mesh size to obtain a final refined mesh model, wherein the refinement process selects a small mesh size for a region with a large error, and selects a large mesh size for a region with a small error, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0047] In the formula, For the K The diameter of the unit, ∝ is the scale symbol, For function V In the unit KThe H^2 norm on , V is the temperature distribution.
[0048] In this step, this means that the maximum diameter of the element is inversely proportional to the H^2 norm of the solution. In areas with larger errors, a smaller mesh size is used; in areas with smaller errors, a larger mesh size can be used to ensure that more detailed thermal flow field changes can be captured in key areas (such as areas with large temperature gradients), while maintaining an appropriate mesh size in other areas to optimize computational efficiency.
[0049] S400, based on the final refined mesh model, uses the motion constrained smoothed particle fluid dynamics method to simulate fluid dynamics, and determines the stress distribution through fluid-solid coupling analysis. Finally, the response surface method is used for multi-objective optimization to obtain the optimal layout plan for the internal structure of the smart power distribution cabinet.
[0050] It can be understood that the step S400 includes S401, S402, S403 and S404, wherein: S401. According to the refined grid model, the fluid domain inside the cabinet is discretized into a group of smooth particle fluid dynamic particles, each of which has mass and position. After kernel function approximation processing, an approximate result of the continuous function value is obtained, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0051] In the formula, is the kernel function, L is the smooth length, For the location x Function f The smoothed or average value of For all particles j The sum of For the j The mass of the particle, For the j The density of particles, For the j Particle positions The original function value at ; S402, based on the approximate result of the continuous function value, a preliminary simulation result of the fluid dynamics inside the cabinet is obtained through smoothed particle fluid dynamics processing; In this step, the motion-constrained smoothed particle fluid dynamics method is used to simulate the air flow inside the cabinet. This is a Lagrangian description method that is particularly suitable for dealing with fluid dynamics problems with complex boundary conditions. Among them, the motion-constrained smoothed particle fluid dynamics discretizes the Navier-Stokes equations, uses smoothed particle fluid dynamics particles to represent the fluid, and uses the Newton-Euler equations to describe the movement of the particles. In this scenario, it simulates the effect of fan-driven air flow on heat dissipation, as well as the interaction between the fluid and the internal structure of the cabinet.
[0052] It should be noted that, based on the results of kernel function approximation, we use the smoothed particle fluid dynamics method to express the fluid dynamics equations inside the cabinet, especially the momentum equation and the continuity equation. In this scenario, after the smoothed particle fluid dynamics expression, the updated formulas for particle velocity and pressure are obtained, and the fluid-solid coupling problem inside the cabinet is further processed based on the fluid dynamics equations expressed by smoothed particle fluid dynamics. After kinematic constraint processing, the coupling conditions between the fluid and the solid boundary are obtained. Among them, for incompressible fluids, the pressure Poisson equation is solved by the projection method to couple the velocity and pressure, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0053] in, is the pressure at the current position, is the reference pressure, ρ is the density at the current location, is the reference density, γ is the specific heat ratio; S403. According to the preliminary simulation results, after fluid-solid coupling analysis and processing, the data exchange between the fluid and solid interface inside the smart power distribution cabinet is obtained, and the physical information neural network model is trained to obtain the predicted data of the fluid velocity, pressure, temperature and mass concentration. The predicted data is calculated through the fluid-solid coupling stress distribution to obtain the fluid-solid coupling stress distribution inside the smart power distribution cabinet; It should be noted that in this step, the Import ANSYS CDB Surface step is used to import the structural surface mesh and map it with the corresponding surface in the fluid analysis to ensure that the heat flow and pressure loads calculated by the fluid can be transferred to the solid structure, and vice versa; then in the physical information neural network model, the input includes the spatial position (x, y) and time (t) of the fluid, and the output is the physical quantity of the fluid. The loss function consists of the physical equation residual, boundary conditions, and the continuity equation of the fluid; according to the output of the physical information neural network model, the fluid-solid coupling stress distribution is calculated and processed to obtain the fluid-solid coupling stress distribution inside the cabinet. In this step, the Export ANSYS Load File step is used to export the fluid load data file, including key parameters such as heat flow and temperature, and combined with the response of the solid structure, the stress distribution at the interface between the fluid and the solid is calculated to provide accurate data support for the structural design and thermal management of the cabinet.
[0054] That is, bilateral kinematic constraints are used to enforce the incompressibility of the fluid, and unilateral kinematic constraints are used to handle the coupling between the fluid and solid structures (such as cabinet walls and heat sinks). This involves transferring the boundary conditions of the solid to the fluid region to ensure that the interaction between the fluid and the solid is correctly simulated. The data types used in this step include the velocity field, pressure field of the fluid, and displacement field of the solid, which are all data unique to the motion-constrained smoothed particle fluid dynamics simulation.
[0055] S404. The stress distribution is processed through multi-objective optimization based on the response surface method, the stress distribution under different design variables is predicted, and the optimal layout plan of the internal structure of the smart power distribution cabinet is obtained.
[0056] It should be noted that a response surface model is constructed to approximate the complex stress distribution function obtained in the fluid-solid coupling analysis. The response surface method is a statistical method. It selects a set of sample points in the design space and simulates them. Then, these results are used to construct an approximate response surface (usually a polynomial model). This response surface model can be used to predict the stress distribution under different design variables. The response surface method (RSM) is used to simulate the implicit relationship between design variables and performance indicators by constructing a fitting proxy model, and optimize the design parameters to achieve the goals of minimum maximum overall deformation, maximum natural frequency and lightest mass, so as to find the best layout solution in the design space. The algorithm used in this step combines statistical principles with multi-physics field knowledge of fluid dynamics and solid mechanics to creatively solve the structural optimization problem.
[0057] This step S404 includes S4041, S4042 and S4043, wherein: S4041. Establish a response surface model. After selecting sample points and conducting finite element analysis, a response surface model of stress distribution is obtained. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0058] Where y is the stress distribution, f(x) is the function of the design variable vector x, is the error term; S4042. The response surface model is iteratively calculated by the non-dominated sorting and crowding distance in the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm to predict the stress distribution under different design variables and determine the optimal solution set. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0059] In the formula, is the objective function vector, fi (x) is i An objective function, x is the design variable vector; S4043. After the optimal solution set analysis and processing, the optimal layout scheme of the internal structure of the smart power distribution cabinet is obtained, and its calculation formula is as follows:
[0060] In the formula, is the optimal design variable vector, is the set of all possible design variable vectors x, and argmin is the parameter value that minimizes the objective function.
[0061] It can be understood that in step S4041, in the prediction of the thermal flow field of the smart power distribution cabinet, the establishment of the response surface model is achieved by selecting sample points and finite element analysis. The technical effect of this step is that it can approximate the complex thermal flow field behavior inside the entire cabinet through limited sample points. Specifically, first, a series of design variables (such as material properties, structural dimensions, etc.) and their corresponding stress distribution results are obtained through experiments or simulations. These data points are used to construct a mathematical model, namely a response surface model, which can predict the stress distribution inside the cabinet under different design variables. In step S4042, after obtaining the response surface model, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is used for iterative calculation to predict the stress distribution under different design variables and determine the optimal solution set. The NSGA-II algorithm is a multi-objective optimization algorithm that maintains the diversity of the population through non-dominated sorting and crowding distance calculations and finds the Pareto optimal solution set. Among them, the iterative calculation process of the algorithm involves the fitness evaluation of each individual in the population, including their performance on multiple objective functions and their positional relationship in the solution space. In this step, the optimal design solution that balances multiple performance indicators can be identified, providing a comprehensive optimization direction for the structural design of the cabinet; in step S4043, after the iterative calculation of the NSGA-II algorithm, a solution set containing multiple Pareto optimal solutions is obtained, and these optimal solutions are analyzed and processed to determine the optimal layout solution of the internal structure of the smart power distribution cabinet, and one or several most feasible design solutions in practical applications can be selected from multiple optimal solutions. Therefore, by evaluating the feasibility of these solutions in actual manufacturing, cost, performance, etc., the optimal design variable vector x∗ is finally determined. This vector represents the parameter value that can make the objective function F(x) obtain the minimum value among all possible design variable vectors X, which not only involves the optimization of the solution, but also includes the consideration of the practicality and feasibility of the solution. In actual research, the application of these methods can be further extended to areas such as dynamic thermal management, fault diagnosis and life prediction of cabinets, providing more comprehensive technical support for the design and operation and maintenance of smart power distribution cabinets.
[0062] S500. Calculate and process the optimal layout plan using simulation technology to obtain a grid model of the three-dimensional flow domain of the smart power distribution cabinet. Based on preset boundary conditions, input the grid model and preset conditions into the Navier-Stokes equations and the energy equation to solve the velocity field, pressure field and temperature field inside the smart power distribution cabinet. After parameter optimization and sensitivity analysis, obtain an optimization plan for air flow and heat transfer inside the smart power distribution cabinet. Adjust the fan speed and heat sink angle based on the optimization plan to predict the thermal flow field of the smart power distribution cabinet.
[0063] It is understandable that in this step, advanced mesh generation techniques such as adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) are used to ensure higher mesh density in key areas (such as near the heat sink and fan area) to capture local flow details. The finite volume method (FVM) is then used to discretize the control equations, and appropriate numerical methods (such as the SIMPLE algorithm) are used to couple the solution of the pressure and velocity fields. For heat transfer, the energy equation can be used to calculate the temperature distribution, considering three heat transfer mechanisms: convection, conduction, and radiation. Then a multi-objective optimization algorithm (such as a genetic algorithm) is used to find the best combination of fan speed and heat sink angle to minimize temperature deviation and maximize heat dissipation efficiency. The flow field characteristics and thermal field characteristics inside the cabinet need to be considered during the optimization process. These data types are unique to this scenario, such as local eddy current intensity and temperature gradient in hot spot areas. Therefore, through these three steps, not only can the thermal flow field of the smart power distribution cabinet be predicted, but also specific optimization solutions and adjustment strategies can be provided to achieve the optimization of cabinet thermal management, reflecting the creativity and effectiveness of the application of computational fluid dynamics simulation technology in complex electromechanical systems.
