Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thunderstorm prediction, and particularly relates to a strong thunderstorm potential risk and intensity prediction method based on an artificial neural network. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a kind of strong convective weather phenomenon, thunderstorm is sudden, short in duration, and often accompanied by lightning, lightning, gale, heavy rain and other extreme weather conditions, which poses a serious threat to the safe and stable operation of power grid. During the process of strong thunderstorm, the local lightning density is high, and a strong thunderstorm process can contribute more than 50% of the lightning density in the lightning center area in a year, and the continuous trip accidents of multi-loop lines caused by it will significantly increase the systematic risk of power grid.

[0003] Currently, thunderstorm potential prediction mainly relies on lightning positioning, atmospheric electric field monitoring and radar remote sensing, and is realized by using Logistic regression method. However, due to the essential contradiction between the nonlinear evolution characteristics of thunderstorm system and the linear assumption of linear regression model, the complex interaction between meteorological elements cannot be effectively characterized by traditional statistical methods, so that the model generalization ability is limited, the probability of strong thunderstorm event is low, and the false negative rate is significantly high. In addition, the current technical solution fails to build a multi-task joint learning framework, and lacks adaptive optimization for the non-equilibrium distribution characteristics of extreme weather samples, so that the cooperative mechanism of potential prediction and intensity evaluation is missing, which limits the single-dimensional prediction output of the differential protection strategy of power grid, and cannot realize dynamic resource scheduling based on the spatial distribution characteristics of lightning intensity.

[0004] In view of this, a strong thunderstorm potential risk and intensity prediction method based on an artificial neural network is proposed. SUMMARY

[0042] Embodiment one

[0043] The method implemented in this embodiment can be implemented in a system, and can be implemented in a server or a terminal, and the specific implementation is not limited. From the perspective of system implementation, the method for predicting the potential risk and intensity of severe thunderstorms based on artificial neural networks in the present application will be introduced. Please refer to Figure 1 The method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0044] S11. Obtain the ground flash data of the target area, determine the time distribution characteristics of the thunderstorm event based on the ground flash data, and identify the time valley bottom of the thunderstorm event, wherein the time valley bottom is a persistent period during which the occurrence frequency of the thunderstorm event is significantly lower than the climatic mean value.

[0045] Based on multi-site collaborative monitoring, ground flash observation data of a certain area is obtained, wherein the ground flash data is obtained from a lightning location system covering a target geographical range, and the geographical range is 20°N-23°N in latitude and 107°E-109°E in longitude. Invalid records are removed through joint positioning of at least three detection sites, and valid ground flash event data containing time stamp, geographical coordinates and lightning current amplitude are retained. The original ground flash records are subjected to time consistency verification, spatial positioning accuracy screening and abnormal amplitude removal to form a standardized ground flash data set.

[0046] In this embodiment, identifying the time valley bottom of the thunderstorm event includes the following:

[0047] 1. Divide the ground flash data based on multi-site collaborative monitoring into equal-length time intervals, and calculate the cumulative ground flash frequency of each interval.

[0048] 2. Select the continuous period with the lowest cumulative frequency from the cumulative ground flash frequency as the time valley bottom, and the duration of the time valley bottom matches the characteristics of the low-occurrence stage of the thunderstorm event in the climatic state statistical period.

[0049] Specifically, the whole day is divided into equal length time intervals based on the starting point of each day in local time, and the cumulative frequency of cloud-to-ground lightning events in each interval is counted; the continuous time period with the lowest cumulative frequency is identified by the sliding window algorithm, and the low-frequency persistence characteristics of the continuous time period are verified by combining the daily variation law of thunderstorm activity in the climatic state statistical period; the time bottom period selected is compared and analyzed with the historical climatic state thunderstorm event low-frequency stage to ensure that the time bottom and the stable period of the regional atmospheric stratification are statistically consistent in the occurrence period and duration.

[0050] S12. Collecting multi-source meteorological data in the target area, selecting meteorological data related to the formation of thunderstorm events as thunderstorm prediction factors to obtain meteorological prediction factor data;

[0051] In this embodiment, obtaining meteorological prediction factor data includes:

[0052] Based on the physical trigger mechanism of thunderstorm formation, meteorological parameters with dynamic response characteristics are selected from multi-dimensional meteorological observation data as thunderstorm prediction factors; the dynamic change trend of the meteorological parameters is associated with the evolution law of the intensity of thunderstorm events.

[0053] Specifically, the meteorological data is derived from global climate reanalysis data sets, covering high spatial resolution gridded data in the target area, including thermodynamic parameters such as convective available potential energy and atmospheric stability index, water vapor condition parameters such as near-surface dew point temperature and relative humidity vertical cumulative amount, dynamic lifting parameters such as low-level wind field components, vertical wind shear, vorticity and divergence field, and thermal vertical gradient parameters.

[0054] By analyzing the nonlinear coupling relationship between the time evolution law of each parameter and the intensity of thunderstorm activity, dynamic characteristic parameters significantly associated with the triggering, development and dissipation process of thunderstorms are selected, and a standardized method is used to eliminate dimensional differences, generating a thunderstorm prediction factor data set matching the spatial and temporal resolution of the cloud-to-ground lightning data. The standardization method includes mean-variance normalization processing of the original meteorological parameters to ensure the consistency of the input features and adapt to the training needs of the neural network model.

[0055] S13. Temporally and spatially align the cloud-to-ground lightning data and meteorological prediction factor data, construct a grid cell daily sample set containing cloud-to-ground lightning features and meteorological features based on the aligned data, and divide it into a training set and a test set in time sequence;

[0056] In this embodiment, the temporally and spatially aligned cloud-to-ground lightning data and meteorological prediction factor data include the following:

[0057] 1. Define the daily time starting point based on the periodic characteristics of thunderstorm events, and divide the target area into grid cells consistent with the spatial resolution of meteorological parameters;

[0058] 2. Statistics of the daily lightning frequency and lightning current intensity parameters in each grid cell, and sample categories are divided according to the thunderstorm event intensity standard.

[0059] The original lightning data is statistically analyzed in a time window sliding with a 24-hour cycle, taking the bottom of the thunderstorm activity time as the starting point of the daily time, to ensure complete coverage of the thunderstorm event. The target area is divided into grid cells consistent with the spatial resolution of meteorological parameters (such as 0.25°x0.25°), and the daily lightning frequency and geometric mean of lightning current amplitude in each grid cell are counted to eliminate spatial scale differences.

[0060] Among them, the sample categories are divided according to the thunderstorm event intensity standard, which is based on the calculation of lightning frequency determination threshold according to the climate characteristic parameters of the target area and the area of the grid cell. The climate characteristic parameters include the annual average thunderstorm day number and the lightning event type ratio parameter, and the calculation of the determination threshold meets the requirements of the pre-set intensity level division.

[0061] According to the climate characteristic parameters of the target area (including the annual average thunderstorm day number and the lightning type ratio parameter) and the area of the grid cell, the lightning frequency determination threshold is dynamically calculated, and the strong thunderstorm event sample category is divided, which meets the requirements of the national standard for the division of thunderstorm intensity level.

[0062] Taking Fangchenggang City in Guangxi as an example, the calculation method of setting grid lightning frequency threshold to determine strong thunderstorm event is as follows:

[0063]

[0064] In the formula, 7.98 times / (km 2 . year) is the minimum standard of the annual average lightning density of the strong lightning area according to the intensity classification standard of GB / T 40621-2021, considering only the first return stroke; 715 is the grid area, unit: km 2 ; 1.8984 is the ratio parameter of total lightning and first return stroke in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi; 85 is the annual average thunderstorm day number in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi.

[0065] In addition, the daily sample set of the grid cell includes time identification, lightning frequency statistics, lightning current intensity parameters, strong thunderstorm event discrimination identification and standardized meteorological prediction factors; the division of the training set and the test set meets the time continuity constraint, and the training set covers continuous multi-year observation data.

[0066] The sample feature database includes: date (date), lightning frequency (N CG ), geometric mean of lightning current amplitude (I CG ), binary classification label of strong thunderstorm event (Q storm ) and 24 standardized thunderstorm prediction factors (X1,..., X 24 ):

[0067] D = {date, N CG ,I CG ,Q storm ,X1,...,X 24}

[0068] For example, in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi, the training set is the daily observation data of 35 geographical grids in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi, China for 5 consecutive years, and the test set is the daily observation data of 35 geographical grids in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi, China for 1 consecutive year. The time series of the training set and the test set have no overlap.

[0069] S14. Based on the grid unit daily sample set, a probability classification model of strong thunderstorm event is constructed, which is used to predict the probability of strong thunderstorm occurrence in each grid unit within a predetermined time;

[0070] 1. Based on the training set data of the grid unit daily sample set, the joint distribution law of the lightning feature and the meteorological feature is learned by using a neural network architecture;

[0071] 2. The model parameters are optimized by time series cross-validation to generate a strong thunderstorm event probability prediction model.

[0072] Wherein, the strong thunderstorm event probability prediction model comprises:

[0073] Output the probability value of each grid unit occurring strong thunderstorm event within a predetermined period and the corresponding spatio-temporal position code, and divide the risk level by a probability threshold to generate a grid-based thunderstorm potential discrimination result.

[0074] Through time series cross-validation strategy to optimize network hyperparameters, ensure the model's ability to capture time-dependent features; use dynamic sample weight adjustment mechanism to alleviate the class imbalance problem caused by low proportion of strong thunderstorm event samples in training data, and improve the model's sensitivity to minority class events. Output the probability value (0-1 interval) of each grid unit occurring strong thunderstorm event within a predetermined period, and bind the spatio-temporal position code; dynamically set the probability threshold according to business needs, map the probability value to multiple risk levels such as low risk, medium risk and high risk, and generate a grid-based thunderstorm potential discrimination map.

[0075] S15. Based on the probability classification model, the grid unit determined as high risk of strong thunderstorm is constructed into a regression neural network model, which is used to predict the lightning frequency and geometric mean of lightning current amplitude of each grid unit within a predetermined period;

[0076] Based on the high-risk grid unit sample set selected by the probability classification model, the dynamic meteorological parameters and lightning history features in the high-risk grid unit sample set are used as input, and a multi-task neural network architecture is used to simultaneously learn the nonlinear mapping relationship between lightning frequency and lightning current intensity, generating a quantitative thunderstorm intensity prediction model.

[0077] The double hidden layer full connection structure is adopted, the first layer realizes high-dimensional feature nonlinear mapping, and the second layer enhances the model expression ability through feature multiplexing; the overfitting risk is inhibited through the random inactivation layer, and multiple base models are fused through the self-adaptive enhancement algorithm; the training set is consistent with the probability classification model, the verification set is based on the strong thunderstorm sample subset of double confirmation, the potential prediction and the actual observation are all determined as strong thunderstorm, and the generalization ability of the model to extreme events is ensured.

[0081] Taking a coastal area in Guangxi as an example, the hit probability of the probability classification model is significantly higher than the industry benchmark, the hit probability of the strong thunderstorm event of the probability classification model is 94.48%, greater than 90%, and the specific results are shown in Table 1, and the confusion matrix is shown in Figure 2 .

[0082] Table 1

[0083]

[0084] The prediction accuracy of the regression model for lightning current intensity meets the insulation design standard of power grid equipment, and the specific prediction results of the thunderstorm intensity regression prediction model are shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The sample proportion with a relative prediction error of ground flash frequency less than 50% is 34.42%, greater than 30%; the sample proportion with a relative prediction error of geometric mean of lightning current amplitude less than 50% is 84.31%, greater than 80%. The cooperative prediction result is pushed to the disaster prevention system in real time through a multi-dimensional data table, driving the patrol path planning and lightning protection device priority deployment. Including the strong thunderstorm potential prediction result (occurrence / non-occurrence) of each spatial grid in the future 12-24 hours; for the grid judged to occur strong thunderstorm, the predicted ground flash frequency and the geometric mean of lightning current amplitude are synchronously output; the prediction data is integrated and output in the form of a multi-dimensional structured table, the table contains timestamp, geographic grid code, strong thunderstorm potential prediction and intensity prediction parameter fields. The output result example is shown in Table 2.
