Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power system fault detection, and in particular to a converter transformer monitoring method and system using a far-field and near-field multi-axis sensing array coupling under low signal-to-noise ratio for converter transformer multi-parameter fault monitoring. Background Art

[0002] As the core hub equipment for voltage conversion and power distribution in the power system, power converters are crucial for the stable operation of the power grid. A single unit is often worth millions to tens of millions of yuan, and a failure can lead to the following consequences:

[0003] (1) Economic losses of electricity: A single unplanned outage can cause economic losses of tens to hundreds of thousands of yuan per hour, and the fault repair cycle can take weeks to months.

[0004] (2) System stability risk: Converter transformer failure may trigger a chain reaction, leading to regional power grid disconnection or voltage collapse (for example, in the 2021 Texas blackout in the United States, converter transformer failure exacerbated the power grid paralysis).

[0005] (3) Safety hazards: Short-circuit faults can cause explosions due to a sudden rise in oil temperature (such as the 2019 Sao Paulo substation explosion in Brazil), endangering personnel safety.

[0006] In the existing technology, although a variety of diagnostic systems have been developed, the following technical bottlenecks still exist:

[0007] (1) Oil chromatography three-ratio method: The misjudgment rate of compound faults (such as overheating + discharge) is as high as 30%, and the fault location cannot be located.

[0008] (2) Vibration threshold method: The existing standard (such as 100Hz energy proportion > 80%) is difficult to adapt to different types of converter transformers. During normal operation of a certain 330kV converter transformer, the 200Hz component can account for up to 40%.

[0009] (3) Dependence on manual experience: 90% of grassroots operation and maintenance units still rely on expert experience and judgment, resulting in poor diagnostic timeliness (average time > 48 hours).

[0010] In addition, current research mainly focuses on relatively ideal and stable magnetic interference environments. Eliminating strong interference and high transient noise in actual complex working conditions remains a difficult and challenging problem. Summary of the Invention

The simulated signals from these 6x6 measurement locations were used as the near-field four-axis sensor array signals and data screening was performed. The Flamenche distance was introduced to perform one-dimensional curve similarity matching between the origin processor signal and the near-field four-axis array signal. The coordinates for the partial discharge MEMS ultrasonic probe, vibration detection probe, and two tunnel magnetoresistive sensors of the near-field four-axis sensor array unit were determined to be [3,3], [4,5], [4,3], and [5,5] (coordinate system grid units). The MEMS ultrasonic probe, vibration detection probe, and two tunnel magnetoresistive sensors of the far-field four-axis sensor array were deployed at the four corner points.

[0130] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the network model in the signal-noise enhancement unit includes an input layer (200*7*4), a convolutional layer (3*3*32), a pooling layer, a fully connected layer (32*32*1), a noise guidance layer, a TCN layer (32*32*2), and an output layer (64*1).

[0131] Convolutional neural networks use convolution operations to extract local features, while reducing the number of parameters and computational complexity through operations such as weight sharing and pooling. This can better extract the internal features of the data, reduce the risk of inter-layer connections and overfitting in the network, and improve classification accuracy. Noise guidance can be applied to CNNs to increase their classification accuracy. The noise-enhanced CNN module we use improves the generalization ability and classification accuracy of CNNs by injecting generalized Gaussian noise into them.

[0132] The injected generalized Gaussian noise formula is:

[0133]

[0134] Among them, Γ() is the Gamma function, α and β ranges are [1,∞] and [0,1], which are the scale parameter and edge parameter respectively, G a,β (x) is the noise value of the x-th neuron.

[0135] TCN uses dilated convolution to capture long-term dependencies, avoid the gradient vanishing problem, and meet lightweight requirements. It is conducive to real-time monitoring, its structure supports parallelization, and its inference speed is better than that of recurrent networks.

[0136] The network model training data set in the signal-to-noise enhancement unit is the four-channel noise signal captured by the far-field four-axis sensor array without excitation, and the output is the coupled noise signal of the four-channel noise signal captured by the near-field four-axis sensor array without excitation; in the commutation transformer parameter detection, the input of the network model is the four-channel noise signal captured by the far-field four-axis sensor array under excitation, and the output is the coupled noise signal of the reconstructed origin processing unit.

[0137] Under no excitation, the near-field and far-field four-axis sensor arrays collect noise signals and use the coupled noise signal of the origin processing unit coupled to the near-field four-axis sensor array unit as output and the four-channel noise signal collected by the far-field four-axis sensor array as input to construct a training set. When obtaining the data set, the programmable power supply is turned off, the operation state of the converter is stopped, and the far-field four-axis sensor array noise signal and the coupled noise signal of the origin processing unit are obtained. The obtained unexcited and interfered training set is input into the proposed noise guidance network and TCN network to learn the mapping relationship between the origin coupling noise signal and the far-field four-axis sensor array noise signal. The training platform configuration of the model is as follows: CPUi9-10900F, GPURTX3060, operating system is WIN10-64 bit, model framework is Tensorflow, and the training process (training curve) of the model is as follows Figure 5 shown.

[0138] The model's loss function and root-mean-square error (RMSE) decrease with increasing iterations. These two metrics stabilize after approximately 30 iterations, indicating rapid model convergence. After multiple iterations, a trained network model is obtained that clearly reflects the mapping relationship between coupled noise and the spatial noise collected by the far-field four-axis sensor array.

[0139] Under excitation, the programmable power supply is turned on, the commutator enters the operating state, and the signals collected by the near-field four-axis sensor array are transmitted back to the origin processing unit. Due to the presence of noise, the coupled signals and four-channel detection signals detected are combination signals of pure signals and interference noise.

[0140] After the denoising results are subjected to signal clipping and signal amplification in turn, the amplified four-channel test signals and coupled signals are subjected to overvoltage and overcurrent protection to obtain the analog signal output result. The analog signal output signal is transmitted to the background display and control seat unit after AD conversion. The display and control seat unit simultaneously judges the partial discharge fault of the converter transformer and the internal vibration fault of the winding based on the four-channel test signals and coupled signals, and issues a series of monitoring instructions.

[0141] If the display and control seat unit detects that the coupling signal peak exceeds the range of -5v to +5v, it indicates that there is a fault and needs to be repaired; if the coupling signal peak does not exceed the range of -5v to +5v, the peak value of the four-channel test signal is judged. If the ultrasonic partial discharge signal peak is in the range of -3.3v to +3.3v, it is considered that the solid insulation degradation fault is caused; if the vibration signal peak is in the range of -2.8v to +2.8v, it is considered that the iron core is loose or the winding is deformed; if the average peak value of the two magnetic field signals is in the range of -3.1v to +3.1v, it is considered that the contact is poor or the winding is broken.

[0142] like Figure 6 As shown, the instructions issued by the display and control unit in sequence are: start noise baseline acquisition, start signal-to-noise improvement model training, start commutation transformer four-channel detection, start real-time noise reconstruction, perform coupled signal denoising and include sub-instructions such as coupling instruction, clipping instruction, and filtering instruction; enable signal conditioning and protection and include sub-instructions such as gain instruction and overvoltage protection instruction; perform comprehensive fault diagnosis and the following sub-instructions:

[0143] Coupling comprehensive analysis: judge the fault condition based on the coupling signal amplitude.

[0144] Partial discharge threshold verification: Determines the risk of solid insulation degradation based on the ultrasonic signal amplitude (-3.3V to +3.3V).

[0145] Vibration spectrum analysis: Combines the frequency domain characteristics of vibration signals (such as the characteristic frequency of loose core) to diagnose mechanical faults.

[0146] Magnetic field imbalance detection: Identify poor contact or winding deformation through the difference in dual magnetic field signals (X / Y axis).

[0147] Coupling signal weight calibration: Dynamically adjust the four-channel coupling weight (0.25 equal weight or adaptive weight) to optimize the overall signal reliability.

[0148] Issue operation and maintenance warnings: trigger warning instructions (such as shutdown for maintenance, gain adjustment, model retraining) based on the diagnosis results and push them to the operation and maintenance interface.

[0149] Based on the technical solution of the above-mentioned system, the steps of the commutation transformer monitoring method using the system to couple the corresponding far-field and near-field multi-axis sensor arrays include:

[0150] Step 1: Under no excitation (i.e., in the non-working state), the near-field and far-field four-axis sensor arrays collect noise signals and use the coupled noise signal of the origin processing unit coupled to the near-field four-axis sensor array unit as output and the four-channel noise signal collected by the far-field four-axis sensor array as input to construct a training set.

[0151] Step 2: Train the network model of the signal-to-noise boosting unit using the dataset constructed in step 1 and save it.

[0152] Step 3: Under stimulation (i.e., the compiler is in operation), the near-field four-axis sensor array unit collects the four-channel detection signals of the commutation parameters and transmits them back to the origin processing unit.

[0153] Step 4: Under excitation, the far-field four-axis sensor array collects the on-site noise signal and inputs it into the signal-to-noise enhancement unit to reconstruct the coupled noise signal of the origin processing unit.

[0154] Step 5: The four-channel No. 2 coupled signal of the origin processing unit is respectively subtracted from the coupled noise signal reconstructed in step 4 to obtain a denoising result.

[0155] Step 6: After performing signal clipping and signal amplification on the denoising results, the amplified four-channel test signal and coupled signal are protected against overvoltage and overcurrent to obtain the analog signal output result. The analog signal output signal is transmitted to the background display and control seat unit after AD conversion.

[0156] Step 7: The display and control seat unit determines the partial discharge fault of the commutation transformer and the internal vibration fault of the winding based on the four-channel detection signals and the coupling signal, and issues a series of monitoring instructions.

[0157] Furthermore, step 7 further includes:

[0158] If the display and control seat unit detects that the coupling signal peak exceeds the range of -5v to +5v, it indicates that there is a fault and needs to be repaired; if the coupling signal peak does not exceed the range of -5v to +5v, the peak value of the four-channel test signal is judged. If the ultrasonic partial discharge signal peak is in the range of -3.3v to +3.3v, it is considered that the solid insulation degradation fault is caused; if the vibration signal peak is in the range of -2.8v to +2.8v, it is considered that the iron core is loose or the winding is deformed; if the average peak value of the two magnetic field signals is in the range of -3.1v to +3.1v, it is considered that the contact is poor or the winding is broken.

[0159] Furthermore, the monitoring instructions issued by the background display and control seat unit include: starting noise baseline collection, starting signal-to-noise improvement model training, starting four-channel detection of the converter transformer, starting real-time noise reconstruction, performing coupled signal denoising, enabling signal conditioning and protection, and performing comprehensive fault diagnosis.

[0160] Furthermore, the coupled signal denoising includes sub-instructions including a coupling instruction, a clipping instruction, and a filtering instruction;

[0161] Furthermore, enabling signal conditioning and protection includes sub-instructions of a gain instruction and an overvoltage protection instruction;

[0162] Furthermore, the execution of comprehensive fault diagnosis includes sub-instructions such as coupling comprehensive analysis, partial discharge threshold verification, vibration spectrum analysis, magnetic field imbalance detection, coupling signal weight calibration, and issuing operation and maintenance warnings.

[0163] The above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention provides a converter transformer monitoring system and method coupled with a far-field and far-field multi-axis sensor array. By deploying a near-field and far-field four-axis sensor array, the noise signal captured by the far-field four-axis sensor array is used to train a deep learning model, dynamically reconstruct and eliminate the noise component of the origin processing unit, and significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio under low signal-to-noise ratio. Combining the noise guidance network (CNN) with the temporal convolutional network (TCN), the generalized Gaussian noise enhancement model generalization capability is introduced to achieve accurate modeling and separation of complex noise, avoiding the misjudgment problem of the traditional threshold method. Four-channel signals are collected by near-field four-axis sensors (partial discharge, vibration, dual magnetic field), and coupled into a comprehensive signal with equal weight (coupling weight 0.25). Combined with the far-field four-axis noise data, the synchronous analysis of multi-source parameters of magnetic field, sound wave, and vibration is achieved. In summary, this system and method solves the accuracy and reliability problems of converter transformer monitoring under low signal-to-noise ratio through deep learning-driven noise suppression, multi-source signal fusion, robust hardware design and dynamic diagnosis mechanism, significantly improves fault recognition rate and operation and maintenance efficiency, and is suitable for key equipment health management in complex power grid environments.
