Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformer detection, and particularly to an ultrasonic detection system for transformer faults. Background Art

[0002] A transformer is an important device used in the power system, mainly for changing the voltage of alternating current. An ultrasonic detection system for transformer faults is a device that uses ultrasonic technology to monitor the internal and external states of a transformer, which can help detect potential faults early, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the transformer. When ultrasonic waves encounter bubbles, cracks, insulation material defects or mechanical structure problems inside the transformer, the propagation of the waves will be affected, resulting in changes in the reflected waves.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent with the application number CN202111298479.8 discloses a transformer detection system based on ultrasonic detection, including a processing module for performing comparative processing of data; an ultrasonic detection module connected to the processing module, where the ultrasonic detection module is distributed at each signal acquisition point on the transformer for collecting internal ultrasonic signals of the transformer; a storage module connected to the processing module for storing reference values; and a communication module connected to the processing module for performing remote transmission of data. By using an ultrasonic receiving device to receive the ultrasonic waves emitted during the operation of the transformer and analyzing the ultrasonic waves to judge the working state of the transformer, it can perform real-time detection of transformer discharge faults.

[0004] Again, in the prior art, a Chinese patent with the application number CN202210892568.3 discloses a transformer partial discharge detection system and method, including an ultrasonic sensing module, a moving component, and a positioning device. The moving component is configured to adjust the relative position between the ultrasonic sensing module and the target transformer to achieve multi-point detection of the ultrasonic signals generated by the partial discharge of the target transformer. The positioning device is used to locate the actual position of the partial discharge of the target transformer according to the ultrasonic signals generated by the partial discharge of the target transformer obtained from multi-point detection. By using the ultrasonic signals of multiple detection points to locate the actual position of the partial discharge of the transformer, it can overcome the problem of inaccurate positioning that may occur when using the ultrasonic signals of a single detection point to locate the transformer.

[0005] For another example, in the prior art, a Chinese patent with the application number CN201610302660.4 discloses a detection system for local discharge location of a transformer, which includes a Rogowski coil radio frequency sensor, a filter amplifier, an ultrasonic phased array sensor, a charge amplifier, a synchronous collector, and a computer. The Rogowski coil radio frequency sensor sends the detected radio frequency current to the filter amplifier for filtering and amplification, and then sends it to the synchronous collector. Each element of the ultrasonic phased array sensor sends the detected ultrasonic signal to the charge amplifier for amplification, and then sends it to the synchronous collector. The synchronous collector sends the received radio frequency current signal after filtering and amplification and the amplified ultrasonic signal to the computer, and the computer locates the local discharge source of the transformer.

[0006] Combined with the above materials, it can be seen that the ultrasonic detection systems in the prior art generally detect local discharge to achieve the purpose of fault detection. However, in the actual use process, there are many fault situations in the transformer, and a single detection direction cannot achieve the purpose of comprehensive detection. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ultrasonic detection system for transformer faults to solve the problem of incomplete detection range proposed in the above background technology.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An ultrasonic detection system for transformer faults, including an ultrasonic sensor module, a signal conditioning module, a data acquisition and processing module, a data fusion module, a learning module, a diagnostic decision module, and a human-machine interface. The ultrasonic sensor module consists of 6-8 ultrasonic sensors arranged in an array inside the transformer housing. The ultrasonic sensors use piezoelectric ceramic sensors with a resonant frequency of 40 kHz, and the sensitivity of the ultrasonic sensors is -65 dBV / uBar, effectively capturing weak signals. The signal conditioning module filters, amplifies the weak signals output by the ultrasonic sensors, and converts them into standardized signals suitable for digital acquisition. The hardware platform of the data acquisition and processing module is Xilinx Zynq-7020 SoC, integrating FPGA and ARM Cortex-A9 to achieve high-speed signal processing and flexible control. The data fusion module receives ultrasonic features, infrared temperature, and vibration acceleration from the sensors. The ultrasonic features include amplitude, frequency, and phase. The accuracy of the infrared temperature is ±1°C, and the resolution is 0.1°C. The frequency of the vibration acceleration is 0.1-10 kHz, and the dynamic range is ±50 g. The diagnostic decision module includes threshold judgment and severity assessment. The threshold judgment is adjusted according to the dynamic baseline, and the background noise level is updated every 24 hours. The severity assessment is divided into four levels: normal, attention, abnormal, and critical based on the pulse density and energy growth rate. The model structure of the learning module includes a CNN branch, an LSTM branch, and a fusion layer. The CNN branch is used to process time-frequency images, the LSTM branch is used to process time-series features, and the fusion layer is used to splice the outputs of the CNN branch and the LSTM branch and then classify them through a fully connected layer.

[0009] Preferably, the ultrasonic sensors are distributed in an equiangular ring array, and the sensors at the top and bottom are tilted 45° to achieve three-dimensional sound field coverage.

[0010] Preferably, the distance between adjacent ultrasonic sensors is ≥30 cm to avoid acoustic interference, and the ultrasonic sensors are provided with a μ-Metal alloy housing with a permeability >50,000 to suppress strong electromagnetic field interference of the transformer.

[0011] Preferably, the circuit composition of the signal conditioning module includes high-pass filtering, pre-amplification, and band-pass filtering. High-pass filtering: Remove low-frequency vibration noise of the transformer, use a second-order Butterworth filter with a roll-off slope of -40 dB / dec. Pre-amplification: Use a low-noise instrumentation amplifier with an input noise density of 1.1 nV / √Hz and a gain error <0.01%. Band-pass filtering: Use a switched-capacitor filter with a Q value of 5 to suppress high-frequency switching noise and out-of-band interference.

[0012] Preferably, the processing flow of the data acquisition and processing module is as follows: Adaptive noise cancellation: The LMS algorithm is used to cancel environmental noise in real time; Time-frequency analysis: Short-time Fourier transform, Hanning window, window length 512 points, frequency resolution 97.6 Hz; Feature extraction: The extracted features are peak frequency, pulse repetition rate, signal energy entropy, and phase difference positioning. Among them, the peak frequency is the frequency component with the largest amplitude detected in the spectrum, and the pulse repetition rate is calculated as the reciprocal of the pulse interval time through zero-crossing detection.

[0013] Preferably, the fusion method of the data fusion module is based on Dempster-Shafer evidence theory to solve the problem of uncertain information fusion, including: Basic probability assignment: Assign confidence levels to the fault hypotheses for each sensor data; Decision output: Select the fault type with the highest confidence level.

[0014] Preferably, the training data of the learning module comes from more than 2000 sets of on-site data augmentation, and the accuracy of the test set reaches 96.2%. Among them, the data augmentation includes adding -10dB noise, time shift, and frequency shift.

[0015] Preferably, a fault feature library is set between the data acquisition and processing module and the machine learning module. The construction method of the fault feature library is based on historical fault cases and laboratory simulation data. The fault types in the fault feature library include: Partial discharge: Main frequency, PRF, pulse rise time Core looseness: Low-frequency harmonic components, vibration correlation Winding deformation: High-frequency burst pulses, energy entropy change rate Air bubbles in oil: Wideband energy distribution, no significant periodicity.

[0016] Preferably, the training strategy of the learning module is as follows: Input data: Time-frequency diagram, generated by STFT, window function: Kaiser β = 6; Data augmentation: Add -20dB Gaussian noise, time shift jitter, frequency band masking; Transfer learning: Pre-train on the CWRU bearing dataset, and freeze the first 3 layers during fine-tuning.

[0017] Preferably, the functional modules of the human-computer interaction interface include: Real-time monitoring: The three-dimensional sound pressure cloud map shows the sound source position; Historical analysis: Support the playback of time-frequency diagrams and feature trend curves; Alarm management: Hierarchical alarm, push SMS and email notifications; Report generation: Automatically output a PDF diagnostic report, including failure probability and maintenance suggestions.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The ultrasonic detection system for transformer faults adopts a novel structural design, and the specific content is as follows: 1. Multi-source data fusion: Single ultrasonic detection is vulnerable to accidental interference. This system synchronously accesses devices such as infrared thermal imagers and vibration accelerometers to establish a multi-physical quantity correlation analysis model. When high-frequency ultrasonic pulses are detected, the system automatically retrieves the temperature data at the corresponding position. If the temperature gradient exceeds 2°C / cm, it is confirmed as discharge heating; if there is no temperature rise but accompanied by low-frequency vibration of 10 - 200 Hz, it is determined as mechanical looseness.

[0019] 2. Intelligent diagnostic algorithm: The traditional threshold alarm method is vulnerable to operating condition fluctuations. This system innovatively integrates convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory network (LSTM) to construct a hybrid diagnostic model. The CNN branch focuses on analyzing the spatial features in the ultrasonic time-frequency image, such as the pulse cluster morphology of partial discharge; the LSTM branch tracks the change trends of time series parameters such as pulse repetition rate and energy entropy. After the dual-branch features are fused at the decision layer, the recognition accuracy of the model for complex faults such as winding deformation and core looseness is increased to 96.7%, which is 12% higher than that of a single model.

[0020] 3. Strong anti-interference ability: The biggest challenge faced by ultrasonic detection is the strong electromagnetic interference and complex background noise in the transformer operating environment. This system ensures stable operation in high-interference scenarios such as high-voltage substations through the dual guarantee of differential signal transmission architecture and adaptive noise reduction algorithm. The differential transmission adopts a twisted pair shielding structure to effectively suppress common-mode interference. The measured signal distortion degree is less than 0.1% in a strong electric field of 30 V / m. Combined with wavelet noise reduction technology, the system can automatically identify and filter out background interferences such as oil pump vibration and fan noise, and the signal-to-noise ratio is increased by more than 16 dB.

[0021] 4. Economic advantages: Compared with traditional oil chromatography analysis, the single detection cost of this system is reduced by 83%, and there is no need to take oil samples regularly, reducing the frequency of manual inspections by more than 50%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
