When encountering complex extreme marine events such as typhoons and submarine landslides, the actual physical boundary conditions of the cable, such as seabed coverage and surrounding medium thermal conductivity, will change dramatically, exceeding the original assumptions of the physical model. At this time, the physical model itself cannot reflect the physical reality, resulting in the loss of early warning capability of the entire twinning system for unknown risks.

[0015] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0016] Embodiment 1 Please refer to Figure 1 The application discloses a digital-twin-based offshore wind power cable monitoring and early warning system, comprising: A data acquisition module is configured to acquire real-time multi-dimensional sensing data of the submarine cable, wherein the real-time multi-dimensional sensing data comprises real-time working condition data, and the real-time cable heat generation power is determined according to the real-time working condition data. A physical law model module is configured to receive the real-time multi-dimensional sensing data and output a theoretical prediction state. A data-driven model module is configured to receive the real-time multi-dimensional sensing data in parallel and output a data fitting state. A bidirectional dynamic coupling module is configured to acquire the theoretical prediction state and the data fitting state, calculate a model cognitive bias, compare the model cognitive bias with a preset cognitive mismatch threshold, and generate a mismatch discrimination result indicating cognitive mismatch or cognitive consistency. A model correction module is configured to, in response to the mismatch discrimination result being cognitive mismatch, calculate a physical parameter correction amount based on a preset adaptive gain, update the physical law model module using the physical parameter correction amount, and output a corrected theoretical prediction state. A state assessment and early warning module is configured to, when the mismatch discrimination result is cognitive consistency, fuse the theoretical prediction state and the data fitting state to generate a comprehensive assessment result; when the mismatch discrimination result is cognitive mismatch, fuse the corrected theoretical prediction state output by the model correction module and the data fitting state to generate a comprehensive assessment result; and compare the comprehensive assessment result and a change trend of the comprehensive assessment result with a preset multi-level risk threshold to issue early warning information. The application discloses a digital-twin-based offshore wind power cable monitoring and early warning system, which breaks through the limitations of existing physical models being fixed and unable to adapt to dramatic changes in marine environments. The system continuously captures actual submarine cable operating data through a data acquisition module, such as distributed fiber optic sensing technology. This data is simultaneously fed into a physical law model module and a data-driven model module, forming a dual-path parallel prediction architecture. The key to this parallel prediction architecture lies in the use of a bidirectional dynamic coupling module to quantify the cognitive bias between the two models in real time. Once the bias exceeds the statistically normal fluctuation range, the physical model is deemed distorted. At this point, the model correction module goes beyond passive alarms and proactively intervenes, reconstructing key parameters in the physical law model based on the actual conditions revealed by the data-driven model. Finally, the status assessment and early warning module integrates the dynamically verified or corrected optimal model output to assess the cable's health and issue multi-level early warnings. This architecture enables the system to self-correct rather than fail systematically when encountering extreme unknown conditions such as typhoons and submarine landslides, thereby achieving effective insight into and prevention of deep-seated risks.
[0017] Example 2 The physical law model is a long short-term memory network model based on the finite element method; The cognitive bias of the model is calculated by normalizing the difference between the theoretically predicted state and the data-fitted state by the absolute value of the data-fitted state; To further illustrate, in the specific implementation of the present invention, the physical law model module is a thermal-mechanical coupling model constructed based on the finite element method. This model is established based on prior knowledge such as the cable design blueprint and marine geological survey reports to describe its theoretical thermodynamic behavior. In parallel, the data-driven model module uses a long-short-term memory network to capture complex nonlinear correlations by learning massive historical operation data. The core function of the bidirectional dynamic coupling module is implemented through a specific quantitative formula, which is designed to generate model cognitive bias. Its inherent logic is that in order to objectively measure the degree of deviation between the physical model and the actual data, the influence of physical dimensions and numerical amplitudes must be eliminated. Therefore, the idea of standardized relative error in statistics is borrowed to construct a dimensionless indicator. In the scenario of cognitive mismatch, the data-driven model is regarded as a reference system that is closer to physical reality, so its output is normalized. The calculation formula of model cognitive bias is: ; in, for Model cognitive bias at every moment, The theoretical prediction state output by the physical law model module, such as the predicted temperature, The data fitting state output by the data-driven model module corresponds to the same physical quantity. is a positive real constant set to prevent the denominator from being zero, whose value is much smaller than the normal measurement value, and its dimension is the same as Same; the bidirectional dynamic coupling module uses this formula to continuously calculate ,The calculation result is the key judgment basis for triggering the adaptive correction of the model; By comparing a dynamically changing, standardized deviation value with a fixed threshold, the system can accurately identify the moment of failure of the physical model, thereby initiating the subsequent correction process and ensuring the entire twin system's ability to perceive unknown risks.
[0018] Example 3 The cognitive mismatch threshold is determined by statistically analyzing the model cognitive bias generated under historical normal operating conditions and taking the percentile of its distribution; The cognitive mismatch threshold setting logic abandons the experience-based, human-based setting method and is driven by statistical principles. The system must be able to distinguish between normal fluctuations in model predictions and abnormal deviations caused by real changes in the physical environment. A scientific threshold should maximize sensitivity to real anomalies while minimizing the false alarm rate caused by data noise. Specifically, the threshold is determined by first collecting and storing a large amount of historical model cognitive deviations under normal working conditions. , forming a large statistical data set; then the probability distribution analysis of the data set is performed, and a high percentile of the distribution, such as the 99th percentile, is selected as the cognitive mismatch threshold Based on this method, the system establishes a dynamic normal behavior boundary; any deviation beyond this boundary, i.e. , will be determined as a cognitive mismatch event with high confidence, thus reliably triggering the model correction module; This mechanism greatly improves the reliability of the system's operation in complex marine environments and avoids frequent false triggering or missed reporting of key risks due to improper threshold settings.
[0019] Example 4 The model correction module calculates the physical parameter correction in the following way: the difference between the theoretical prediction state and the data fitting state is normalized by the real-time heat generation power of the cable and multiplied by the preset adaptive gain; Real-time operating data includes real-time current obtained from the grid SCADA system. The real-time heating power of the cable is determined by calculation based on the real-time current and the known resistance of the cable; When a cognitive mismatch is confirmed, the model correction module is immediately activated. Its core task is to calculate the correction amount of physical parameters, which is the key execution link to achieve system cognitive flexibility. The calculation formula of this correction amount is derived from the basic relationship of steady-state thermodynamics. , which reveals the temperature difference deviation and the real-time heat generation power of the cable Strong correlation; in order to keep the correction process consistent and stable under different load conditions, the temperature difference must be normalized with the real-time heat generation power; The calculation formula for the physical parameter correction is:
[0020] in, for The physical parameter correction calculated at each moment, here taking equivalent thermal resistance as an example; is a dimensionless adaptive gain hyperparameter; is the difference between the data fitting state and the theoretically predicted state; The real-time heating power of the cable is obtained by obtaining the real-time current of the power grid SCADA system. and the known cable resistance per unit length , according to Joule's law Calculated; It is a minimum positive constant power value that represents non-Joule heating effects such as dielectric loss and is set to avoid calculation divergence near zero load; Adaptive gain The method to determine the value is to calibrate it through offline simulation experiments, simulate a known physical parameter mutation event in the simulation environment, and then For example, in the range of 0.01 to 1.0, find an optimal value that can make the correction process converge fastest without oscillation; Based on the above results, the model correction module calculates After that, it is immediately used to update the corresponding parameters in the physical law model, such as ,in, is the old parameter, is the new parameter after update; This process forms a tight closed-loop feedback loop, forcing the physical model to evolve online and in real time in a direction that is more consistent with physical reality.
[0021] Example 5 Multi-level risk thresholds include concern, warning, and danger levels; The status assessment and early warning module is the final output of the system, and the multi-level risk threshold it relies on is a preset rule system.
[0022] For high-value assets such as offshore wind power, a single binary safety assessment is too crude to meet the needs of refined operation and maintenance and risk management. Providing graded early warnings can help operation and maintenance personnel make more reasonable and effective resource allocation and decision-making responses. The preset multi-level risk thresholds are specifically defined as three levels: attention, warning, and danger. These thresholds are the comprehensive assessment results of the final output of the system. The comprehensive evaluation results It is generated by fusing the theoretical prediction state with the data fitting state. After cognitive mismatch occurs, the revised theoretical prediction state and data fitting state are fused. The application effect of this multi-level risk threshold is that the system can The current value of and its changing trend over time are compared with these three thresholds to issue warning information of different levels; Level of concern: The lowest level of warning; when the comprehensive assessment results When the value or its changing trend reaches the preset attention threshold for the first time, it is triggered. It indicates that there is a slight but noteworthy deviation in the health status of the cable. Although it does not pose a direct threat, the system will mark it and prompt the operation and maintenance personnel to continuously observe and track the data of the cable section. Alarm level: medium-level warning; when comprehensive assessment results If the value or trend deteriorates further, exceeding the concern level and reaching the alarm threshold, a warning message is generated, signaling a more significant abnormality in the cable's health and the emergence of a potential risk. The system issues this warning to operators, prompting them to include the issue in their work plan and prepare for a more detailed analysis or schedule an inspection soon.
[0023] Danger level: the highest level of warning; when the comprehensive assessment results It is triggered when the value or its changing trend reaches or exceeds the most serious danger threshold, which means that the cable may be on the verge of structural or functional damage and the probability of failure is significantly increased. The danger warning issued by the system is the highest priority instruction, requiring operation and maintenance personnel to take immediate intervention measures, such as adjusting the cable load or performing emergency shutdown and maintenance, to avoid catastrophic failure.
[0024] This differentiated early warning mechanism makes early warning information more forward-looking and operational, and realizes the transition from passive response to active prevention.
