[0029] The drawings described below are only some embodiments. A person skilled in the art can derive other drawings based on these drawings without inventive effort. In the drawings:

[0030] Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of a sulfur hexafluoride monitoring system for a substation according to the present invention;

[0031] It should be noted that these drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the conceptual scope of the present invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the present invention for those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See also Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a sulfur hexafluoride monitoring system for a substation is provided, including a detection module, a signal processing unit, a communication interface module, an alarm device and a power management module.

[0034] Detection module 1 is the core acquisition unit of the entire system, consisting of a gas sensor array, a temperature and humidity sensor, and an atmospheric pressure sensor. The gas sensor array consists of an infrared absorption spectrum sensor, an ultrasonic leak detection sensor, and an electrochemical sensor, all mounted in parallel on the detection module's internal circuit board and connected to the signal processing unit via signal lines. The infrared absorption spectrum sensor is located at the center of the gas sensor array, with a measurement range of 10 ppb to 1000 ppm, capable of real-time detection of sulfur hexafluoride concentrations. Ultrasonic leak detection sensors, with a sensitivity of 0.1 ml / min, are positioned on either side of the infrared absorption spectrum sensor and are used to capture gas signals released from tiny leaks. The electrochemical sensor has a built-in temperature compensation unit, which is linked to the ambient temperature sensor via a thermistor to minimize the impact of external temperature changes on detection results. The temperature and humidity sensor and atmospheric pressure sensor are mounted on the top area of ​​the detection module and exchange data with the gas sensor array via the I2C bus, ensuring the synchronous collection of environmental parameters and gas concentration data.

[0035] The signal processing unit is connected to the detection module via a multi-core shielded cable and integrates a leak location module and a trend prediction module. The leak location module calculates the specific coordinates of the leak source based on the signal intensity distribution matrix. It works by first acquiring the signal intensity values ​​of each sensor in the gas sensor array and storing these values ​​in the signal processing unit's cache. It then refines the signal intensity distribution matrix using an interpolation algorithm to improve spatial resolution. Finally, it uses the least squares method to fit the leak source location and output specific coordinate information. The trend prediction module uses an LSTM neural network and support vector machine regression algorithm to generate a sulfur hexafluoride concentration curve. The calculation process involves segmenting historical data to extract trend features for each segment. The LSTM neural network model and support vector machine regression algorithm are then trained based on the extracted trend features. Finally, the current data is input into the trained model to generate a concentration curve for the future.

[0036] The communication interface module is connected to the signal processing unit via an RS485 interface and supports 4G / 5G / NB-IoT multi-mode communication. It is equipped with a local data cache unit and an SM4 national secret algorithm encryption module. The local data cache unit uses a solid-state storage chip with a storage capacity of not less than 128GB, which is used to temporarily store processed data. The workflow of the SM4 national secret algorithm encryption module includes dividing the data to be transmitted into data blocks of fixed length, performing SM4 encryption operations on each data block to generate ciphertext data blocks, and finally combining the ciphertext data blocks in sequence into a complete ciphertext data stream and sending it to the remote server via the wireless network. The communication interface module also has a breakpoint resume function, which automatically records unsent data blocks when the network is interrupted and re-uploads them after the network is restored.

[0037] The alarm device is connected to a signal processing unit via a relay and integrates an audible and visual alarm, an SMS alarm unit, and a mobile app push service. The audible and visual alarm, mounted on the top of the alarm housing and with a sound intensity of at least 85dB, activates the buzzer and LED light via a control circuit. The SMS alarm unit connects to the mobile communication network via a SIM card module and supports group messaging, sending alarm text messages to designated users when an anomaly is detected. The mobile app push service communicates with the user's smartphone via Wi-Fi or a mobile network. When the sulfur hexafluoride concentration exceeds a preset threshold, it triggers a corresponding alarm signal and pushes real-time alert information to the user. The alarm device has three alarm thresholds: low, medium, and high. A level 1 alarm is triggered when the detected sulfur hexafluoride concentration exceeds the low alarm threshold but does not reach the medium alarm threshold. A level 2 alarm is triggered when the concentration exceeds the medium alarm threshold but does not reach the high alarm threshold. A level 3 alarm is triggered when the concentration exceeds the high alarm threshold.

[0038] The power management module is connected to the detection module, signal processing unit, communication interface module, and alarm device via power cables. It integrates a dual-power automatic switching circuit, a remote power monitoring interface, and an explosion-proof battery compartment. The dual-power automatic switching circuit uses a voltage monitoring chip to monitor the output voltage of the solar panel and lithium battery in real time. When the main power supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, the switching logic is activated to switch the load to the backup power supply in less than 10ms. The remote power monitoring interface communicates with external devices via the RS485 protocol, providing real-time battery charge information. The explosion-proof battery compartment features an IP67 protection rating and an internal overvoltage protection circuit to prevent overcharging or short-circuiting of the battery.

[0039] The self-test module and fault diagnosis module are integrated into the signal processing unit. The self-test module performs a daily sensor zero-point calibration. Its workflow involves reading the sensor's output value in a sulfur hexafluoride-free environment, comparing this output value with the standard zero-point value to calculate the deviation, and finally adjusting the sensor's calibration parameters based on the deviation to align its output value with the standard zero-point value. The fault diagnosis module can identify 12 fault types, including sensor failure and communication interruption. Its workflow involves defining characteristic parameters for each fault type, monitoring the system's operating status in real time, extracting relevant parameters, matching the extracted parameters with the characteristic parameters, determining whether a fault exists, and generating the corresponding fault code.

[0040] The modular design of the system allows each component to be connected through at least one of a quick-release mechanical interface, a magnetic mounting base, and a standard DIN rail mounting slot. The design of the quick-release mechanical interface includes an interface body made of high-strength aluminum alloy, with an anodized surface for improved corrosion resistance. A spring clip mechanism is installed inside the interface, which can be quickly disassembled by pressing a button. The end face of the interface is equipped with a sealing ring to ensure the airtightness of the connection. The design of the magnetic mounting base includes a base body made of engineering plastic, with a high-energy permanent magnet embedded in the bottom. The surface of the permanent magnet is covered with a layer of non-slip rubber pad to prevent damage to the mounting surface during adsorption. Bolt holes are provided around the base so that it can be fixed to a non-metallic surface by bolts. The design of the standard DIN rail mounting slot includes a slot body stamped from cold-rolled steel plate, with a nickel-plated surface for improved corrosion resistance. An elastic clip is installed in the slot to fix the module, and limit baffles are installed at both ends of the slot to prevent the module from sliding out.

[0041] The signal processing unit normalizes and removes outliers from the collected data by first performing a linear transformation on the raw data to map all values ​​to the [0, 1] range. It then uses the 3σ criterion to remove outliers, i.e., data points outside the range of ±3 standard deviations from the mean. Finally, the data after outlier removal undergoes smoothing filtering to reduce noise. The communication interface module uses the SM4 national encryption algorithm to encrypt transmitted data. It first segments the data to be transmitted into fixed-length blocks. It then performs the SM4 encryption operation on each block to generate a ciphertext block. Finally, the ciphertext blocks are sequentially combined into a complete ciphertext data stream and transmitted via the wireless network to a remote server. The dual-power automatic switching circuit in the power management module monitors the output voltages of the solar panel and lithium battery in real time. When the main power supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, it activates the switching logic to switch the load to the backup power supply. Finally, after the switchover is complete, it re-monitors the main power supply voltage. If the voltage returns to normal, the load is switched back to the main power supply.

[0042] In order to better enable relevant personnel in this technical field to fully understand and implement the present invention, the specific implementation principle of the present invention is further supplemented below with reference to a specific application scenario.

[0043] In actual substation operation, a SF6 monitoring system is deployed near high-voltage electrical equipment to detect changes in SF6 gas concentration in real time. The system's operation is described in detail in the following steps.

[0044] First, the detection module collects environmental data through its internal gas sensor array, temperature and humidity sensors, and atmospheric pressure sensors. The infrared absorption spectrum sensor in the gas sensor array is located at the center, with a detection range of 10ppb to 1000ppm, capable of highly sensitive detection of sulfur hexafluoride gas concentrations. Ultrasonic leak detection sensors are placed on both sides of the infrared absorption spectrum sensor to capture gas signals released from tiny leaks, with a sensitivity of 0.1ml / min. The electrochemical sensor is linked to the thermistor via a built-in temperature compensation unit to reduce the impact of external temperature fluctuations on the detection results. The temperature and humidity sensors and atmospheric pressure sensor are installed in the top area of ​​the detection module and exchange data synchronously with the gas sensor array via the I2C bus to ensure consistency between the collected environmental parameters and gas concentration data. The data from these sensors is transmitted to the signal processing unit via signal lines, completing the initial data collection task.

[0045] The signal processing unit then normalizes the received data and removes outliers. First, the raw data is linearly mapped to the [0, 1] interval to eliminate the impact of different dimensions on subsequent processing. Next, the 3σ criterion is used to remove outlier data points that fall outside the range of ±3 standard deviations from the mean, thereby reducing noise interference. Finally, the data after outlier removal is smoothed and filtered to improve data quality. Based on this, the leak location module calculates the specific coordinates of the leak source based on the signal intensity distribution matrix. The signal processing unit first obtains the signal intensity values ​​of each sensor in the gas sensor array and stores these values ​​in a cache. The signal intensity distribution matrix is ​​then refined using an interpolation algorithm to improve spatial resolution. Finally, the least squares method is used to fit the leak source location and output the specific coordinate information. Meanwhile, the trend prediction module uses an LSTM neural network and support vector machine regression algorithm to generate a sulfur hexafluoride concentration curve. This module segments historical data, extracts trend features of each segment, and trains the LSTM neural network model and support vector machine regression algorithm based on the extracted features. Finally, the current data is input into the trained model to generate a concentration change curve for a period of time in the future.

[0046] The communication interface module is connected to the signal processing unit via the RS485 interface and is responsible for uploading the processed data to the remote server. The communication interface module first divides the data to be transmitted into data blocks of fixed length and performs SM4 encryption operation on each data block to generate a ciphertext data block. Subsequently, the ciphertext data blocks are sequentially combined into a complete ciphertext data stream and sent to the remote server via 4G / 5G / NB-IoT multi-mode communication. In the event of a network interruption, the communication interface module will automatically record the unsent data blocks and re-upload them after the network is restored to ensure the integrity of the data transmission. In addition, the local data cache unit uses a solid-state storage chip with a storage capacity of not less than 128GB for temporarily storing processed data.

[0047] The alarm device is connected to the signal processing unit via a relay and triggers an alarm signal when it detects that the sulfur hexafluoride concentration exceeds a preset threshold. The alarm device is set to three alarm thresholds: low, medium, and high. A level 1 alarm is triggered when the detected sulfur hexafluoride concentration exceeds the low alarm threshold but does not reach the medium alarm threshold; a level 2 alarm is triggered when the concentration exceeds the medium alarm threshold but does not reach the high alarm threshold; and a level 3 alarm is triggered when the concentration exceeds the high alarm threshold. An audible and visual alarm is mounted on the top of the alarm device's housing. Its sound intensity is no less than 85dB, and the control circuit drives a buzzer and LED light to produce audible and visual alarms. The SMS alarm unit connects to the mobile communication network via a SIM card module and supports group messaging, sending alarm text messages to designated users when an anomaly is detected. The mobile app push service communicates with the user's smart terminal via Wi-Fi or mobile network to deliver real-time alarm information.

[0048] The power management module is connected to the detection module, signal processing unit, communication interface module, and alarm device via power cables, providing them with a stable power supply. The dual-power automatic switching circuit monitors the output voltage of the solar panel and lithium battery in real time through a voltage monitoring chip. When the main power voltage falls below the preset threshold, the switching logic is activated to switch the load to the backup power supply, and the switching time does not exceed 10ms. After the switch is completed, the main power voltage is re-monitored. If it returns to normal, the load is switched back to the main power supply. The remote power monitoring interface communicates with external devices via the RS485 protocol and provides real-time feedback on battery power information. The explosion-proof battery compartment adopts an IP67 protection level design and is equipped with an internal overvoltage protection circuit to prevent battery overcharging or short circuiting.

[0049] The self-test module performs sensor zero-point calibration daily. It first reads the sensor's output in a sulfur hexafluoride-free environment, compares it with the reference zero-point value, and calculates the deviation. Finally, it adjusts the sensor's calibration parameters based on the deviation to align its output with the reference zero-point value. The fault diagnosis module monitors the system's operating status in real time, identifying 12 fault types, including sensor failure and communication interruption. This module first defines characteristic parameters for each fault type and extracts the relevant parameters in real time. It then matches the extracted parameters with the characteristic parameters to determine whether a fault exists and generates a corresponding fault code.

[0050] The modular design of the system allows the components to be connected through at least one of the following methods: a quick-release mechanical interface, a magnetic mounting base, and a standard DIN rail mounting slot. The design of the quick-release mechanical interface includes an interface body made of high-strength aluminum alloy, with an anodized surface for improved corrosion resistance. A spring clip mechanism is provided inside the interface, allowing for quick disassembly by pressing a button, and a sealing ring is provided on the end face of the interface to ensure the airtightness of the connection. The design of the magnetic mounting base includes a base body made of engineering plastic, with a high-energy permanent magnet embedded in the bottom. The surface of the permanent magnet is covered with a layer of non-slip rubber pad to prevent damage to the mounting surface during adsorption. Bolt holes are provided around the base so that it can be fixed to a non-metallic surface by bolts. The design of the standard DIN rail mounting slot includes a slot body stamped from cold-rolled steel plate, with a nickel-plated surface for improved corrosion resistance. An elastic clip is provided inside the slot to fix the module, and limit baffles are provided at both ends of the slot to prevent the module from slipping out.

[0051] Through the above steps, the present invention achieves highly sensitive detection of sulfur hexafluoride gas concentration in substation environments, precise leak location, concentration trend prediction, and multi-level alarm functions, while also providing adaptability to complex environments and a flexible power management mechanism. These features not only improve the reliability of the sulfur hexafluoride monitoring system but also significantly enhance the safe operation of substations.
