Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of signal processing and non-destructive testing of electrical equipment, and in particular to a combined denoising method and system based on adaptive large neighborhood search and modal decomposition, which is especially suitable for defect detection and noise suppression of composite insulators in power systems. BACKGROUND

[0002] Composite insulators play a crucial role in power systems. Over time, insulators may be affected by factors such as contamination, dielectric breakdown, and mechanical damage, leading to performance degradation and even failure. Therefore, regular detection and monitoring of insulators is essential. The commonly used ultrasonic detection technology has the advantages of high efficiency and convenient operation, but is often disturbed by environmental noise, affecting the accuracy of the detection results.

[0003] Existing ultrasonic denoising methods include empirical mode decomposition (EMD), ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMDAN), hard threshold denoising, and soft threshold denoising. These methods can improve signal quality to some extent, but each has its own limitations. For example, EMD is prone to modal coupling problems, EEMD has high computational complexity, and threshold denoising methods may cause signal distortion or noise residue. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a more efficient denoising method.

[0004] Prior art document 1 (CN110926386A) discloses a transformer winding ultrasonic three-dimensional imaging method in the field of deformation detection of transformer windings. It uses CEEMD decomposition and improved wavelet threshold joint denoising, and combines signal reconstruction to generate a three-dimensional image. However, it relies on manual experience to set the wavelet decomposition level and threshold parameters, lacks adaptive parameter optimization mechanism, and has problems such as decomposition precision being disturbed by working conditions and high-frequency effective components being easily lost. Moreover, it cannot effectively distinguish between noise and weak defect characteristics in a complex noise environment.

[0005] Prior art document 2 (CN109580787A) discloses a denoising method in the field of transformer high-voltage bushing lead ultrasonic detection technology. It uses wavelet decomposition and EEMD secondary denoising combined with correlation coefficient filtering components, and uses the "2σ rule" to filter out noise. However, it uses a fixed threshold rule to process IMF components, does not consider the dynamic change characteristics of noise levels, and has problems such as low-frequency effective signal deletion and high-frequency noise residue.

[0116] The termination condition is no SNR improvement for 5 consecutive rounds or reaching 50 iterations.

[0117] It should be noted that, in order to solve the problem of insufficient decomposition accuracy caused by the dependence of traditional parameter adjustment on manual experience, the adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm is used for global optimization of the decomposition layer number, the threshold coefficient and the noise amplitude, so that the parameter adaptability and the signal decomposition accuracy are improved, and the defects of mode aliasing and noise residue are overcome.

[0118] Step 2.3, based on the optimal low-frequency sub-band threshold coefficient output in step 2.2, generating each high-frequency sub-band hierarchical threshold parameter according to a preset proportion rule, and obtaining an optimal decomposition parameter combination.

[0136] Retain the components with cross-correlation coefficients greater than a first threshold value, and eliminate the components with cross-correlation coefficients less than a second threshold value;

[0137] The first threshold value and the second threshold value are dynamically adjusted according to the noise level estimation value in step 2, and the higher the noise level, the lower the first threshold value.

[0138] Specifically, calculate the normalized cross-correlation coefficient of each intrinsic mode function component with the high-frequency sub-band D hi = D J-1 + D J :

[0139]

[0140] The rule for screening effective IMF components is to retain IMF m with ρ m > 0.6, eliminate IMF m with ρ m < 0.3, and perform wavelet thresholding on the remaining components, with the threshold strength being negatively correlated with ρ m :

[0141] Further, the first threshold value and the second threshold value of the normalized cross-correlation coefficient are dynamically fine-tuned according to the noise level estimation value σ in step 2, and when σ > 0.5σ max , the first threshold value is reduced to 0.55, and the second threshold value is increased to 0.35.

[0153] Determine the target enhancement frequency band of the ultrasonic signal according to the resonance frequency band, and the width of the target frequency band is inversely proportional to the sheath thickness;

[0154] The low-frequency sub-band of the ultrasonic signal decomposed in step 3 is selectively weighted and amplified, and the weighting coefficient is negatively correlated with the number of effective intrinsic mode function components in step 3;

[0155] Specifically, the target enhancement frequency band (unit: kHz) is defined, wherein κ is the damping coefficient of the insulator sheath material (dimensionless), and the molecular constant 200 is a dimensionless composite constant with a unit of kHz·mm -1 ; the low-frequency sub-band A J(f) performing weighting:
