The gas sensor is an electrochemical gas sensor with high sensitivity and selectivity to carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide gas, and an infrared gas sensor suitable for monitoring sulfur hexafluoride and its decomposition products. The partial discharge sensor is a transient ground wave sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. The partial discharge signals in the switchgear are monitored by the transient ground wave sensor and the ultrasonic sensor, and the equipment operating state is comprehensively judged in combination with the changes in electrical parameters. Step two: Reasonably deploy multiple data acquisition nodes inside the switchgear. The data acquisition node uses an STM32 series microcontroller as the core control unit, acquires data from multiple sensors around it, and transmits the acquired data to the main data receiving device. The data acquisition nodes form a Mesh network for data transmission, and the acquired data is gradually transmitted to the main data receiving end located outside the switchgear. Even if one of the nodes fails, other nodes can still ensure normal data transmission. To ensure the safety of data during transmission, the data acquisition node uses the AES encryption algorithm to encrypt the transmitted data. Step three: The data receiving device sends the received raw data to the data analysis server, which uses the real-time data analysis engine Apache Flink to process the data in real time. When the temperature data exceeds the preset normal operating temperature range, the system automatically sends a warning signal. By continuously monitoring and analyzing humidity data, it can determine whether there is a rapid increase in humidity or a long period of high humidity. If so, it may indicate a condensation risk and send an early warning. By setting data thresholds and data analysis models, the system can analyze the changes in internal environmental parameters of the switchgear in real time and determine whether there is an anomaly. Step four: Use big data technology to deeply mine and analyze historical monitoring data, establish a model of changes in internal environmental parameters of the switchgear, and through learning from historical data, analyze the correlation between different environmental parameters and their variation over time. By analyzing historical temperature data and load current data, a relationship model between temperature and load is established to predict possible temperature trends based on current load conditions. Machine learning algorithms, including support vector machines and decision trees, are used to train historical partial discharge data and build a partial discharge fault prediction model to predict potential electrical equipment failures in advance. Step five: Combine real-time data analysis results and historical data modeling results to achieve intelligent diagnosis and prediction of internal environmental anomalies and electrical equipment failures in the switchgear. When the system detects that the environmental parameters are abnormal or the electrical equipment has abnormal characteristics, the type and cause of the fault are quickly and accurately judged by comparison and analysis with historical data and a fault case library, and the development trend of the fault is predicted.
