[0101] Using sensors to transmit real-time data of the operation status monitoring system, so as to evaluate the operation status of the pumped storage unit in real time and realize early warning of the operation status of the pumped storage unit;

[0102] Among them, the virtual-reality interaction subsystem is established using the digital twin and pumped storage unit equipment, and is used to realize data interaction of the virtual-reality interaction subsystem based on the data interface; the three-dimensional visualization subsystem is used to perform three-dimensional display of various typical working conditions of the pumped storage unit shaft system.

[0103] Specifically, the process of implementing monitoring by the operating status monitoring system in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0104] Step S601. Combine the operation status database, digital twin virtual-reality interaction system and three-dimensional visualization model, and build a digital twin-based pumped storage unit shaft system operation status monitoring system based on Unity3D. Write a control script to complete the development and design of the required functions, which includes four functional modules: status data acquisition and drive module, virtual-reality interaction and data transmission module, status monitoring module, and three-dimensional visualization function module.

[0105] Step S602. Collect real-time operation data through a multi-sensor system and build an operation status database. Develop a data acquisition system to connect the operation status database with the virtual-reality interaction system and the three-dimensional visualization function system. Based on the real-time monitoring data of the shaft system of the pumped storage unit in actual operation, the shaft system virtual system is driven in real time through the data-driven function in the digital twin system.

[0106] Step S603. Using the real-time data monitored by the multi-sensor system as input parameters, combined with the multi-physics field coupling reduced-order model of the pumped storage unit shaft system, a rapid numerical calculation is performed on the real-time working condition. Using the data driver, the rapid numerical calculation results are displayed in real time in the three-dimensional visualization function module through the virtual-real interaction system.

[0107] Step S604. Develop a status monitoring page, in which the real-time operating status of the shaft system of the pumped storage unit can be viewed. Realize three-dimensional real-time visualization based on data collected by multiple sensors, including real-time display of curve trends of important parameters such as the shaft system inlet flow, inlet pressure, outlet flow, outlet pressure, and runner speed. Preprocess the fast numerical calculation results in the virtual-real interactive system, and display the real-time operating status of the shaft system of the unit in the form of legends, reports, tables, etc. according to user needs, including information such as tailwater pipe pressure pulsation, turbine blade pressure, and axis motion trajectory. Display the shaft system stress distribution cloud map, deformation distribution cloud map, vibration distribution cloud map, etc. in real time, and compare them with normal conditions.

[0108] Step S605. The three-dimensional visualization function module page includes a panoramic three-dimensional display of the virtual model of the shaft system of the pumped storage unit, a user interaction window, and a status monitoring window. The panoramic three-dimensional display of the virtual model can display the three-dimensional model of the shaft system of the pumped storage unit in an all-round manner by sliding the mouse 360°. It also includes transparency, explosion display and highlight display functions. The transparency function can change the model transparency according to the degree of transparency selected by the user, helping the user to fully observe the internal situation of the shaft system structure of the unit; the explosion diagram function can facilitate users to understand the internal structure of the shaft system of the unit in an all-round, multi-level and multi-architecture manner, as well as the assembly sequence and assembly path; the highlight display function can highlight the model components according to the user's requirements for obtaining component information, without affecting other rendering results, so that users can clearly and intuitively grasp the relevant information of the selected components. The user interaction system allows users to select the operating status parameters they want to monitor and display them in real time in the status monitoring window. The status monitoring window can monitor the operating status monitoring system of the shaft system of the unit in real time and provide users with viewing. When the unit starts running, the digital twin model obtains real-time data as input parameters based on the multi-sensor system, connects with the three-dimensional visualization function through the virtual-reality interaction system, and displays the status information of the main shaft in real time on the window in the form of tables, legends, reports and cloud maps.
