At the same time, by combining equipment health prediction and supply chain parameters, it realizes a high degree of matching between equipment wear prediction and spare part demand, avoiding the problems of inventory backlog or shortage existing in traditional inventory management that relies on historical experience or fixed-cycle replacement.

[0066] The present invention can dynamically adjust the safety inventory threshold and procurement priority. On the one hand, it avoids the problem that high-value spare parts occupy a large amount of funds and are prone to downtime losses due to spare part shortages during sudden failures. On the other hand, after optimizing the inventory structure, it is calculated that the capital occupation of spare parts is reduced by 20% - 40%, and the shortage risk drops by 50% at the same time.

[0067] Embodiment 3: As Figure 3 shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent prediction method for hydropower station spare parts inventory based on digital twin. This method uses the digital twin model of the physical equipment of the hydropower station as a carrier, predicts the remaining life and failure probability of key components of the equipment, and combines the equipment maintenance plan and supply chain cycle to output the expected demand for each spare part within the future time period, so as to achieve high-precision prediction of hydropower station spare part demand and inventory optimization.

[0068] Step S1: Establish a digital twin model based on the physical equipment of the hydropower station, collect the real-time data of the equipment operation, and dynamically associate the real-time data with the twin model using a coding system.

[0069] The physical equipment of the hydropower station should include core components such as turbines, generators, transformers, and gates. The specific construction method of the digital twin model is as follows: Step S1.1: Generate a parametric 3D model based on the CAD engineering drawings of the physical equipment of the hydropower station; Model accuracy requirements: The geometric error of key components (such as bearings, windings) ≤ 0.1 mm, and the error of non-key components ≤ 1 mm.

[0070] Step S1.2: Assign physical property parameters to the physical equipment of the hydropower station. The physical property parameters include mechanical parameters, electrical parameters, and thermodynamic parameters; The detailed descriptions of each parameter are as follows: Mechanical parameters: material density, elastic modulus, fatigue strength; Electrical parameters: winding resistance, insulation class, electromagnetic characteristics; Thermodynamic parameters: thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0071] Step S1.3: Real-time collect the operation data of the physical equipment of the hydropower station through the sensor network deployed on the physical equipment of the hydropower station. The operation data includes vibration, temperature, pressure, and lubrication status; The sensor network includes: Vibration monitoring: Piezoelectric acceleration sensor (such as PCB 352C33), sampling frequency ≥ 10 kHz; Temperature monitoring: Infrared thermal imager (FLIRA65) and PT100 platinum resistance; Lubrication status monitoring: Online oil sensor (such as Spectro ScientificFerroCheck) to detect the ferromagnetic particle concentration; Environmental monitoring: Ultrasonic water level gauge, temperature and humidity sensor (HoneywellHIH8000 series).

[0072] Step S1.4: Align all sensor time-series data using the Kalman filter algorithm and remove outliers through data cleaning; The Kalman filter algorithm is a mature existing algorithm. The Kalman Filter is an efficient recursive filtering algorithm used to estimate the state of a dynamic system from observation data containing noise and can also be indirectly used for multi-sensor time-series alignment. Its core is to fuse sensor information at different time points through a dynamic model and observation data. If there are timestamp deviations in the data of each sensor, the out-of-sync measurement values can be unified to the same time point through the state prediction and update steps. For example, the data of sensor A at time t1 and sensor B at time t2 can be predicted to the same reference time t and then fused; The delayed update mechanism of the Kalman filter (such as "lag filtering") can handle the time-series inconsistency problem caused by communication delays. For example, recalculate the Kalman gain based on the current state with the old measurement value and update; The Kalman filter usually requires the known time deviation of the sensor (such as a fixed clock offset). If the time deviation is unknown, the time difference needs to be estimated first through other methods (such as cross-correlation analysis, timestamp calibration) and then compensated in the filtering.

[0073] Step S1.5: Dynamically associate the sensor data with the parametric 3D model using a hierarchical coding system to achieve automatic mapping of the sensor data to the corresponding components in the 3D scene; The coding structure of the hierarchical coding system: power plant code (4 digits) - equipment type code (3 digits) - component ID (6 digits) - sensor ID (5 digits), and a conventional coding system can also be used; Mapping rule: Automatically bind the sensor data to the corresponding components in the 3D model according to the coding, and support reverse query of associated data by clicking on the components.

[0074] After the construction of the digital twin model is completed, the digital twin model needs to be verified. In an offline environment, verify the model accuracy through fault injection testing.

[0075] Step S2: Construct a device health status assessment model, analyze historical fault data and real-time monitoring data, and predict the remaining life of the key components of the device.

[0076] The specific implementation method of this step is as follows: Step S2.1: Collect historical fault data and real-time monitoring data of hydropower station equipment. The historical fault data includes maintenance records, sensor historical data, and environmental logs. The real-time monitoring data includes vibration, temperature, lubrication status, and equipment operation parameters. The maintenance records are sourced from the maintenance work order database, which records the equipment fault time, faulty components, fault modes (such as wear, corrosion, fracture), maintenance measures, and information on replaced spare parts. The sensor historical data is sourced from the sensor historical repository, which stores the equipment operation data (such as time series data of vibration, temperature, pressure, current, etc.) for 30 days to 1 year before the fault occurs. The environmental logs are associated with the environmental parameters (such as humidity, water level, load fluctuation) at the time of the fault.

[0077] Step S2.2: Preprocess the historical fault data and real-time monitoring data, including multi-source data time alignment, outlier removal, and missing value filling. The purpose of multi-source data time alignment is to unify the timestamps of multi-source data and ensure the precise synchronization of fault events and sensor data. Outlier removal can use the Isolation Forest algorithm to identify and remove abnormal data points. Missing value filling: Linear interpolation is used to fill the sensor data.

[0078] Step S2.3: Extract health features from the preprocessed data. The health features include vibration spectrum abnormality degree, temperature gradient change rate, and lubricant medium deterioration index. The calculation methods for each health feature are as follows: The calculation method for the vibration spectrum abnormality degree is as follows: , where is the current vibration spectrum, is the reference spectrum under the healthy state of the equipment; The calculation method for the temperature gradient change rate is as follows: TGCR = , where is the temperature value at the current time point t, are the temperature values at adjacent time points respectively, is the sampling interval time; The calculation method for the lubricant medium deterioration index is as follows:

[0079] where is the concentration of ferromagnetic particles in the oil (ppm), is the particle concentration threshold (such as the corresponding value for level 18 / 16 / 13 in the ISO 4406 standard), is the current oil viscosity (cSt), is the nominal viscosity of the new oil, is the water content (ppm), is the maximum allowable water content (e.g., 500 ppm), and α, β, γ are weight coefficients, and α + β + γ = 1.

[0080] Step S2.4: Construct a Weibull distribution survival analysis model for remaining life probability analysis according to the health characteristics; the remaining life is calculated by the following formula in the Weibull distribution survival analysis model:

[0081] In the formula, is the shape parameter, is the scale parameter, is the preset failure probability threshold (e.g., = 0.9).

[0082] In a further preferred solution, a hybrid prediction model can be constructed, including an LSTM neural network for time series feature learning and a Weibull distribution survival analysis model for remaining life probability analysis. Among them, the LSTM neural network includes: Input layer: a multi-dimensional feature sequence with a time window length of T (e.g., T = 30 days) (dimension = 15, including features such as vibration, temperature, lubrication, etc.); Hidden layer: 2 layers of LSTM, with 128 units in each layer, and Dropout = 0.2 to prevent overfitting; Output layer: predict the health status score (HHI, range 0 - 100) within the future Δt time (e.g., 7 days). Based on the HHI trend output by the LSTM and the Weibull distribution survival analysis model, the predicted value of the remaining life of the device can be dynamically adjusted.

[0083] Step S2.5: Optimize the Weibull distribution survival analysis model based on the loss function; the Weibull distribution survival analysis model is one of the common parametric models, and its loss function is usually constructed based on the negative log-likelihood function, as shown below: , optimizing this loss function can estimate the shape parameter k and the scale parameter λ, and then predict the survival probability or risk; k > 0 is the shape parameter, λ > 0 is the scale parameter, t ≥ 0 is the time, and μ is the logarithmic transformation of the scale parameter λ.

[0084] If a hybrid prediction model is adopted, a composite loss function needs to be constructed for model training, and the mathematical expression of the composite function is as follows: , in the formula, is the weight coefficient (e.g., 0.6 / 0.7), represents the mean square error of the health score, represents the negative log-likelihood loss of the Weibull distribution.

[0085] The mathematical expression of The mathematical expression of , the description of each parameter: N is the number of training samples, is the predicted health score and the true score of the i-th sample, δi is the event indicator variable (δi = 1 indicates component failure, δi = 0 indicates component normality), f(ti) is the probability density function of the Weibull distribution (a known function), and S(ti) is the survival function (a known function).

[0086] Step S3: According to the prediction results, combined with the equipment maintenance plan and the supply chain cycle, output the expected demand for each spare part in the future time period.

[0087] The expected demand in this step (the expected demand for a certain component) includes predictive replacement demand and replacement demand quantity. The trigger condition for the predictive replacement demand is: ≤T1 + T2, where T1 represents the planned maintenance time and T2 represents the supplier delivery cycle; the calculation method of the replacement demand quantity is as follows (rounding up):

[0088] In the formula, represents the mean time between failures statistically based on historical data, represents the total number of similar components, represents the exponential decay function, which is used to describe the probability of no failure of the equipment within the remaining life.

[0089] Example: If = 0 (the remaining life is exhausted): e0 = 1, so 1 - 1 = 0, indicating that replacement is necessary (directly set R = N in the formula); If ≫ (the remaining life is much greater than the mean time between failures, then L≈0, so R≈N, that is, almost all components need to be replaced.

[0090] The calculated value is the theoretical value, and there is still a deviation from the actual demand. To avoid the difference between theory and practice, this step takes into account the supply chain issue and also includes adjusting the demand according to the minimum order quantity MOQ of the supply chain: · , in the formula, represents the actual demand.

[0091] Step S4: Dynamically adjust the safety stock threshold and procurement priority.

[0092] This step is used for optimizing the inventory structure, where the safety stock threshold is dynamically adjusted The calculation method is as follows:

[0093] In the formula, represents the standard normal distribution quantile corresponding to the target service level (data source: normal distribution table, set according to requirements (such as 95%, 99%)), represents the average time from the supplier's order placement to delivery (statistically based on the supplier's historical delivery data), d represents the standard deviation of the spare part demand (reflecting demand volatility, calculated based on historical demand data), d represents the average monthly demand for spare parts (using the mean of historical demand data), represents the standard deviation of the supplier's delivery time (reflecting delivery delay volatility, statistically based on the supplier's historical delivery time), represents the proportion of the supplier's on-time delivery within the agreed time (0 ≤ ρ ≤ 1, recorded by the procurement system).

[0094] In the formula, reflects the risk caused by spare part demand fluctuations during the delivery cycle. The longer the delivery cycle or the greater the demand volatility, the higher the safety stock required; reflects the risk caused by the supplier's delivery delay fluctuations. The greater the demand or the more unstable the delivery time, the higher the safety stock required; the square root term jointly models the uncertainties of demand and supply and integrates them into the total volatility through the square root; is the supplier reliability correction. If the supplier's on-time rate is low ( small), the safety stock is amplified to compensate for the risk; otherwise, the inventory can be reduced.

[0095] The basis for the procurement priority ranking is the urgency score E:

[0096] In the formula, and are the weight coefficients (weight distribution coefficients for failure risk and inventory gap), and + = 1. The weights can be set according to empirical values and adjusted according to the equipment risk level. For example, the weights of spare parts for high-risk equipment can be increased by 30% - 50% based on the benchmark weights. Generally, > , thus emphasizing the priority of failure risk. The weight coefficients can also be adjusted dynamically. For example, is increased under high-load operating conditions, and is increased when the supply chain is unstable; represents the failure probability of the equipment within the remaining service life ( ), reflecting the potential impact of component failures on production. The higher the failure probability, the higher the urgency score. represents the inventory gap (the difference between the current inventory level and the demand). represents the safety stock threshold.

[0097] Through the above method, the matching of equipment wear prediction and spare part requirements can be achieved. At the same time, the inventory structure is optimized.

[0098] Based on the above method, this embodiment provides a digital-twin-based intelligent prediction system for hydropower station spare part inventory, including: Digital twin model module: Establish a digital twin model based on the physical equipment of the hydropower station, collect real-time data of equipment operation, and dynamically associate the real-time data with the twin model using a coding system to achieve automatic mapping of real-time data and three-dimensional scenes.
