TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cable line fault early warning, in particular to a kind of offshore wind power cable line fault early warning method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The offshore wind power cable line fault early warning system refers to an intelligent system specially used for monitoring, analyzing and predicting the running state of transmission cable in offshore wind farm. The system collects real-time multi-dimensional parameters such as current, voltage, temperature, partial discharge, vibration, tidal scour of the cable through optical fiber sensing units, electrical monitoring modules and environmental monitoring equipment deployed along the cable, and combines historical operation data to identify and trend predict abnormal features by using big data analysis, machine learning or physical model algorithm. When the system judges that there is potential overheating, insulation aging, mechanical damage or electrical breakdown risk of the cable, it will give an early warning signal in advance to guide the maintenance personnel to take maintenance or isolation measures in time, thereby significantly reducing the risk of sudden power failure and improving the safety, stability and operation efficiency of offshore wind power system.
[0003] The prior art has the following disadvantages: Under strong tidal flow and complex seabed environment conditions, periodic disturbance of seabed sediment structure is easy to occur, which leads to dynamic change of the burial depth state of the laid cable, and further causes nonlinear mutation of the heat dissipation path of the cable. When the local burial depth of the cable is reduced or the exposed area is directly exposed to the fluid disturbance interface, the heat conduction mechanism of the cable will change from the original uniform diffusion mode to a highly asymmetric edge migration process, which causes the heat field distribution center to shift to the edge of the cable. Since the traditional cable temperature monitoring system usually adopts a fixed-point linear layout method, it is difficult to effectively sense the dynamic edge hot spot distribution caused by burial disturbance, which leads to long-term abnormal high temperature state of the local area of the cable, which easily induces the premature aging of the insulation material, and even causes local dielectric breakdown, thereby seriously threatening the long-term operation safety of the cable and the stability of the entire system.
[0004] The above information disclosed in the BACKGROUND section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore it can include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. SUMMARY

[0018] Example implementations will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example implementations can be implemented in any
[0019] The present application provides a method for offshore wind power cable line fault early warning as shown in Figure 1 The method for offshore wind power cable line fault early warning comprises the following steps: S100, a three-dimensional distributed optical fiber temperature array is arranged along the offshore wind power cable, and a spatial distribution of the cable thermal field area is monitored in combination with an active acoustic scattering imaging technology to obtain initial evolution track data of an edge high temperature area; For accurate identification of the initial abnormal area of the thermal field, the three-dimensional distributed optical fiber temperature array and the active acoustic scattering imaging technology are cooperatively arranged and operated. The specific implementation steps are as follows: A three-dimensional distributed optical fiber temperature array is arranged at key nodes and potential risk areas of the offshore wind farm cable path. The three-dimensional distributed optical fiber temperature array is composed of a main fiber longitudinally arranged on the surface of the cable outer sheath, a plurality of branch fibers transversely buried above and below and on both sides of the cable, and a deep insertion probe fiber, which can collect temperature change data of different positions around the cable in real time with a centimeter-level resolution, and construct a three-dimensional temperature distribution map of the thermal field. The temperature array arrangement process is performed by a shipborne remote control laying system to ensure that the optical fiber temperature sensor is closely attached to the cable and is least affected by external seawater disturbance. This arrangement not only guarantees the integrity of the data, but also significantly improves the response sensitivity to edge temperature fluctuations.
[0020] After the distributed optical fiber temperature array is arranged, an active acoustic scattering imaging unit is synchronously deployed around the cable. The active acoustic scattering imaging unit works in combination with high-frequency underwater acoustic pulse excitation and array receiver, actively emits acoustic waves to the sand interface and seabed structure area near the cable, and receives the echo signals. The acoustic waves are affected by scattering effects caused by local sand density changes, cable external structure disturbances, and temperature gradients during propagation. Through high-dimensional modeling and time-frequency demodulation of the echo signals, a real-time spatial map of the cable surrounding sand disturbance and burial depth change can be generated. The map and the optical fiber temperature distribution map jointly constitute an "electric-thermal-acoustic" joint spatial perception data set, which enhances the recognition accuracy of early edge abnormal changes.
[0021] The deployed optical fiber temperature data and acoustic scattering imaging results are used to form a dynamic comparison and abnormal trend extraction in the initial stage of the edge high temperature area. By setting a reference thermal field distribution template, combining a sliding window algorithm and a dual-domain discrimination mechanism, areas with temperature deviation greater than the preset threshold and with lateral diffusion trend are marked, and whether the acoustic echo change shows sediment structure disturbance or burial depth reduction phenomenon is analyzed. When the optical fiber temperature monitoring data and acoustic scattering signals simultaneously show "temperature rise + structure change" resonance characteristics in time and space dimensions, the area is defined as a "high-risk hotspot emerging area" and is numbered and prioritized for monitoring.
[0022] Based on the identification results of the above high-risk hotspot emerging area, the system constructs its evolution trajectory database to track the time-space evolution trend of the hotspot in the thermal field distribution. Combined with environmental current parameters, cable load history, and acoustic scattering image evolution, the direction, speed, and stability indicators of the hotspot migration to the edge are further extracted. These indicators are used to train the subsequent thermal field prediction model, and are used as the input parameters of the risk warning system trigger mechanism to realize early identification, trend judgment, and warning activation of the edge hotspot area, laying a high-precision sensing foundation for the entire fault warning process.
[0023] This embodiment combines three-dimensional temperature collection and acoustic space modeling, not only significantly improving the capture efficiency of submarine cable thermal anomaly emerging points, but also realizing structural analysis of the initial evolution behavior of hotspots, providing key data support for subsequent thermal field modeling and intelligent decision-making, and embodying significant technical innovation and engineering practical value.
[0024] S200, based on the initial evolution trajectory data of the edge high temperature area, a coupling relationship between the sea current parameters, sediment disturbance characteristics, and cable heat conduction parameters is constructed to form a sea current-sediment-heat conduction coupled digital twin model, and a recursive filtering algorithm is used to dynamically correct the virtual scene of the cable burial depth in the model; To realize high-precision prediction and dynamic correction of the influence of cable burial depth change on heat conduction path, a multi-physical field coupling relationship between sea current parameters, sediment disturbance characteristics, and cable heat conduction parameters is constructed to form a sea current-sediment-heat conduction coupled digital twin model, and a recursive filtering algorithm is used to dynamically correct the virtual scene of the cable burial depth. The specific implementation steps are as follows: According to the initial evolution trajectory data of the edge high-temperature area, the temperature peak change, thermal gradient offset direction and thermal flow diffusion speed of the edge high-temperature area at different time nodes are extracted, and combined with the corresponding silt echo density change and reflection mode anomaly in the acoustic scattering imaging data, a set of joint feature data sets that can be mapped in three-dimensional space is formed. Subsequently, the local sea current parameters of the edge high-temperature area in the preset time window are obtained, including the flow velocity vector, fluid shear force, sea current disturbance frequency, etc., and together with the structural information of the cable (insulation layer thickness, conductor material, cross-sectional area) as input feature variables.
[0025] Based on the above multi-source input data, a coupled physical relationship model is constructed. In this model, the sea current parameters and the silt disturbance characteristics are connected through the bottom bed shear critical model, the silt disturbance and the burial depth change are coupled through the deposition-erosion evolution equation, and the cable thermal conduction characteristics are modeled through the non-steady-state heat conduction partial differential equation. The triple coupling model uses the finite element method to establish a calculation grid in a virtual three-dimensional seabed scene, and realizes the simulation of the dynamic influence of the burial depth change caused by silt disturbance on the cable thermal conduction path at different time steps.
[0026] In order to improve the adaptability and robustness of the model in real complex environment, a recursive filtering algorithm is introduced to dynamically correct the modeling results. The filter used is an extended Kalman filter, and the state transition equation is based on the difference between the historical simulation results and the measured thermal field data to update the estimated value of the cable burial depth scene in each time period. Specifically, after receiving the new optical fiber temperature distribution and acoustic scattering spectrum, the system automatically performs a two-step prediction-correction process to predict the current burial depth state and then correct the prior estimate with a new round of sensor observations, thereby realizing high-frequency dynamic fitting of the cable burial depth virtual scene.
[0027] After each recursive correction, the coupled digital twin model feeds back the updated cable burial depth state and thermal field simulation results to the system to guide subsequent hot spot drift trend prediction and intervention response strategy formulation. At the same time, the evolution law between the sea current disturbance pattern and the silt response behavior in the model is continuously recorded to enrich the virtual scene library and improve the system's migration ability in other wind power scenarios. Through the above multi-layer coupled modeling and dynamic correction process, high precision, high dynamics and high generalization ability are realized in the cable thermal environment modeling, providing a solid data foundation and evolution support for the trend identification and precise intervention of cable faults, and significantly improving the intelligence and engineering applicability of the entire fault warning system.
[0028] S300, based on the thermal field information output by the digital twin model, the dynamic drift rate of the thermal field distribution center of gravity of the cable is calculated using an adaptive thermal potential vector solver, and an advance load reduction decision curve for wind turbine power output is generated according to the drift trend; To realize the trend perception and risk response control of the cable thermal abnormal area, on the basis of the dynamic thermal field information output by the digital twin model, an adaptive thermal potential vector solver is introduced to accurately calculate the dynamic drift rate of the thermal field distribution center of gravity of the cable, and a pre-load reduction decision curve of the fan power output is constructed accordingly, so as to realize intelligent and pre-operational operation control. The specific implementation steps include the following four stages: Based on the three-dimensional temperature field data output by the digital twin model, the temperature spatial distribution of the entire cable at each time node is extracted, and a thermal potential distribution function is constructed through the heat density weighting method. The thermal potential distribution function is based on the temperature value in each calculation unit and the heat capacity parameter of the cable material, forming a continuous thermal potential field expression. Through mathematical modeling, the thermal potential field is mapped into a three-dimensional vector tensor, where the direction of the thermal potential vector at each point represents the trend of heat diffusion, and the vector size reflects the heat energy concentration degree.
[0029] The adaptive thermal potential vector solver is used to perform spatial integration and time series difference analysis on the above thermal potential field. The solver uses a local guidance algorithm based on convolution kernel fitting, which can dynamically adjust the sampling window and weight function of the thermal potential vector according to the disturbance intensity of the cable surrounding environment and the heat field change speed, avoiding the problem of insufficient recognition ability of traditional fixed grid method for mutation points and edge features. In each sampling period, the system calculates the drift path of the thermal potential field distribution center of gravity through the solver and generates a time series form of the thermal potential center of gravity trajectory, thereby obtaining the drift rate and direction change trend of the thermal potential center of gravity.
[0030] After obtaining the dynamic drift rate of the thermal potential center of gravity, the system compares and analyzes it with the high-temperature fault samples in the cable operation history to identify whether the current drift rate has reached the risk critical interval. If the thermal potential center of gravity continuously moves towards the edge of the cable and shows an accelerating trend, the system automatically enters the risk response calculation stage. Based on the empirical heat capacity model and the cable load thermal balance formula, a function relationship describing the influence of thermal potential diffusion trend on temperature rise rate is constructed, and a coupling model between fan power output and temperature rise is further derived. Based on this, the system automatically generates a pre-load reduction decision curve, which specifically includes power reduction gradient, time window length and load control threshold.
[0031] The load reduction decision curve is sent to the wind farm dispatching system, and is connected with the SCADA system to realize signal docking. On the premise of meeting the safe operation condition, the power output of the corresponding wind turbine group is dynamically adjusted, and the load of the wind turbine on the hot spot drift path is preferentially reduced. At the same time, the load reduction strategy has the ability of backtracking and self-adaptive adjustment, and the strategy parameters can be adjusted according to the real-time feedback results of the thermal potential field, so as to realize hierarchical response and gradual recovery. Through the embodiment, not only the cable insulation failure caused by local high temperature diffusion can be effectively prevented, but also the economic loss caused by emergency power-off or unplanned shutdown can be maximally reduced, the dynamic balance between the operation safety and the economy of the whole wind power system is ensured, and the embodiment has outstanding engineering innovation and intelligent control value.
[0032] The SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a comprehensive automation system for remotely monitoring equipment in an industrial process, collecting real-time data, automatically controlling and visually managing the running state, and is widely used in the fields of power, water, oil and other infrastructure.
[0033] S400, the dynamic change data of the thermal potential vector is fused with the spatial distribution information of the digital twin model, a multi-dimensional risk tensor is constructed, and a local robot patrol node deployed in the cable path is triggered according to the change result of the risk tensor to perform the plug-in type silt backfilling operation; In order to realize the structured identification and active response control of the hot spot diffusion risk, the dynamic change data of the thermal potential vector is fused and analyzed with the spatial distribution information of the digital twin model, a multi-dimensional risk tensor is constructed, and a local robot patrol node deployed in the cable path is intelligently triggered based on the tensor evolution trend to perform the plug-in type silt backfilling operation. The specific implementation steps of the process are as follows: Based on the cable thermal field distribution gravity center drift path and speed data obtained by the thermal potential vector solver, the evolution trajectory data set of the thermal potential vector field in the time dimension is constructed, and is taken as a dynamic input variable. At the same time, the spatial distribution information at the corresponding time node is extracted from the sea current-silt-thermal conduction coupled digital twin model, including the local burial depth state, the silt density gradient, the sea current disturbance intensity, the seabed shear force distribution and the like. The above-mentioned thermal potential change and spatial scene information are rasterized through a unified spatial index system to form a time-space consistent multi-dimensional fusion data set.
[0034] Based on the multi-source fusion data set, a multi-dimensional risk tensor is constructed. The risk tensor is a four-dimensional tensor structure, with dimensions corresponding to spatial position, time node, heat potential change and burial depth disturbance intensity. The risk score of the region is calculated in each tensor cell. The scoring model uses a weighted aggregation method, with heat potential drift rate, temperature rise speed, burial depth reduction rate, and sea current disturbance frequency as input factors. The discriminant function outputs the risk level (e.g. low, medium, high, critical) through training. By continuously monitoring the risk evolution trend of each cell in the tensor, the system can determine whether the hotspot region is in a superimposed risk state of continuous temperature rise and continuous burial depth reduction.
[0035] When the risk tensor evolution trend meets the early warning threshold condition, the system automatically generates a position locking instruction and triggers the local robot patrol node deployed at the key node of the cable path through the communication protocol. The patrol node is a modular autonomous mobile device with the ability to quickly navigate to the specified coordinates, deploy the sand conveying arm, and accurately backfill. After receiving the task, the robot first performs path optimization and navigation positioning, hovers above the target area and starts the fine positioning module, then deploys the plug-in sand backfill device, and accurately implements backfilling in the cable hotspot exposed area according to the set backfill depth, density and slope angle parameters, forming a closed protective layer and effectively blocking the asymmetric dissipation of heat to the outside.
[0036] After the backfilling operation is completed, the robot returns the heat potential change and burial depth state of the operation area to the system center as feedback data, and the system updates and evaluates the risk tensor to determine whether the risk level has decreased and whether there is a residual heat island phenomenon. If there is still a temperature rise trend, the robot can automatically adjust the backfilling parameters for secondary correction backfilling or notify other patrol nodes for collaborative work. The entire process has high autonomy, high response speed and micro-scale intervention precision, significantly improving the intelligent level and real-time safety guarantee capability of cable operation and maintenance, and can operate in a closed loop with the front-end monitoring and subsequent learning modules, demonstrating the system integration and innovation value of the scheme in the active intervention layer.
[0037] S500, collect the local thermal field change results after backfilling operation, based on the heat island duration, cable local temperature change rate and fan power loss information, optimize the trigger frequency and backfill depth of sand backfilling through a hybrid reinforcement learning algorithm; To realize the continuous optimization and systematic self-evolution after sand backfilling operation, a hybrid reinforcement learning algorithm is introduced to dynamically optimize the two key control parameters of backfilling trigger frequency and backfilling depth. This optimization process is based on the local thermal field change results after backfilling operation, combined with the heat island duration, cable local temperature change rate and fan power loss information to establish a multi-dimensional feedback mechanism, thereby achieving the optimal balance between thermal environment recovery effect and system operation efficiency. The specific implementation steps include the following stages: After the completion of the plug-and-play sediment backfilling operation, the three-dimensional distributed optical fiber temperature array deployed in the cable path immediately resumes high-frequency monitoring of the local thermal field. The system collects the temperature time series data of the target area after the backfilling operation in real time, and extracts characteristic indicators representing the trend of thermal anomaly changes, including but not limited to temperature peak decay rate, thermal gradient recovery rate, edge temperature zone diffusion degree, etc. At the same time, the system records the total time experienced by the heat island from being identified as a high-risk state to recovering to a safe temperature threshold, defined as "heat island duration". In addition, the power output change curve of the fan during this stage is also collected synchronously, and the total power loss caused by the unloading operation triggered by backfilling is calculated as an energy cost evaluation index of thermal intervention.
[0038] A reinforcement learning state space is constructed with "heat island duration", "cable local temperature change rate" and "fan power loss" as state variables, and "backfill trigger frequency" and "backfill depth" as action space. On this basis, a hybrid reinforcement learning algorithm is introduced, combining deep Q learning (DQN) and policy gradient method (Policy Gradient), to construct an intelligent agent model with dual channels of policy optimization and value evaluation. The system automatically inputs the collected data as a learning sample after each backfilling operation to train the model's ability to judge the causal relationship between different behavior combinations and environmental responses.
[0039] To accelerate learning efficiency and improve generalization ability in complex marine environments, the experience replay mechanism and priority sampling mechanism are used to make the model preferentially learn backfill behavior trajectories with significant state changes during training. In addition, to overcome the dimensionality explosion problem of continuous state space and action space, the action discretization strategy is adopted, dividing the backfill depth into several standard levels (such as 5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm, etc.), and the trigger frequency is quantified in hours. The reward function is defined as "heat island dissipation efficiency improvement rate minus unit power loss value", so that the reinforcement learning system has a clear goal and enhanced convergence.
[0040] After several rounds of backfill-feedback-learning cycles, the system obtains a set of optimal backfill strategy parameters under the current seabed environment, cable load characteristics and thermal response rules, including backfill response thresholds under different risk levels, recommended values of sediment thickness for each operation, and response strategies when continuous heat islands appear. The optimization results will be used as the basis for updating the control strategy library and automatically synchronized to the execution module of subsequent patrol nodes to realize the inheritance and sharing of strategy knowledge. At the same time, all state transitions, action decisions and reward records in the reinforcement learning process are structured as structured data and incorporated into the system knowledge graph to support strategy migration for subsequent new sites. Through this implementation, not only is the response efficiency and energy economy of the sand backfill intervention significantly improved, but also an intelligent thermal intervention system with self-optimization ability is constructed, truly realizing the transition from "passive operation and maintenance" to "self-adaptive prevention".
[0041] S600, the sensing data, simulation results, load reduction strategies, backfill responses and optimization parameters involved in the fault warning process are structured and collected, and are deposited in a hierarchical knowledge graph, realizing continuous learning optimization of the fault warning process and rapid deployment and migration of new offshore wind farms; To realize the long-term evolution, self-learning and cross-scene adaptation of the fault warning process, it is proposed to structure and collect multiple types of core data involved in the whole process, and to build a multi-level and extensible knowledge graph, realizing continuous optimization of the fault warning process and rapid migration and deployment for new offshore wind farms. The specific implementation steps of this part include the following stages: During the operation of the fault warning system, data output from each sub-module is continuously collected and collected, including temperature time series data collected by the three-dimensional distributed optical fiber temperature array, sand disturbance maps generated by the active acoustic imaging unit, dynamic simulation results output by the digital twin model, thermal potential drift path and rate calculated by the adaptive thermal potential vector solver, power control curve generated by the load reduction strategy engine, and optimal backfill parameter set (trigger frequency, backfill depth, backfill response time) formed in the hybrid reinforcement learning module. All data are labeled, cleaned and structured according to unified data standards and formats to form a raw data asset library for semantic modeling.
[0042] The structured data is abstracted and ontology designed in the field semantics, and a fault early warning hierarchical knowledge graph is constructed. The knowledge graph adopts a multi-layer structure, which is divided into a "sensing layer", a "model layer", a "strategy layer" and a "feedback layer": the sensing layer describes various environmental and cable state parameters and their relationships; the model layer encapsulates the thermal-force-flow multi-physical field coupling mechanism and the digital twin framework logic; the strategy layer covers the load reduction control logic, intervention trigger conditions and response instructions; the feedback layer is used to record the system response performance and optimization results after various intervention behaviors. The association between layers is realized through the definition of clear attribute edges and instance nodes, which can support upstream and downstream semantic reasoning and knowledge recall.
[0043] After the knowledge graph is built, the feature embedding and similarity clustering analysis of various strategy nodes and response result nodes in the graph are performed based on the graph neural network algorithm (such as GraphSAGE, GAT), so as to mine the potential laws and strategy evolution paths under different fault scenarios. The system builds an initial strategy set that can adapt to new environments, and when a new offshore wind farm site is deployed, by inputting its basic geographic environment parameters, tidal flow distribution characteristics and preliminary cable layout, the most similar historical scenario can be quickly matched in the knowledge graph, and the corresponding model parameters and strategy templates can be migrated, greatly reducing the initial configuration cost and response delay.
[0044] During the operation of the system, the whole process of perception, judgment, intervention and feedback experienced by each fault early warning event will be automatically archived and converted into new knowledge fragments in the graph, realizing the continuous iteration and intelligent expansion of the graph content. Through the "perception-modeling-decision-feedback" closed-loop learning ability of the graph, the system not only has self-adaptation ability in a single site, but also has knowledge transfer ability and strategy promotion ability between cross-regional sites, forming an intelligent knowledge hub for the wide-area distributed scenario of offshore wind farms. This implementation significantly improves the intelligence level and deployment efficiency of the fault early warning system, and has high creativity and industry scalability.
[0045] The offshore wind power cable line fault early warning method provided by the application can realize intelligent perception, prediction and intervention control of the dynamic change of cable burial depth caused by seabed silt disturbance and the asymmetric evolution process of the heat field caused thereby. The method breaks through the limitation of traditional cable temperature monitoring means that can only perceive temperature changes at fixed positions and cannot identify the drift of hot spot edges, accurately captures the evolution trajectory of high temperature areas by using a three-dimensional distributed fiber array and acoustic tomography technology, and realizes dynamic modeling and prediction of the risk trend of the heat field by constructing a digital twin model coupled with sea current-silt-heat conduction and a thermal potential vector solving mechanism. At the same time, the introduction of a multi-dimensional risk tensor driven robot plug-in backfilling and a backfilling strategy optimization based on reinforcement learning not only improves the timeliness and accuracy of the thermal anomaly intervention, but also significantly reduces the power generation loss caused by the load reduction of the wind turbine. Finally, through the sedimentation of structured data and the construction of a knowledge graph, the system realizes continuous self-optimization and cross-wind farm intelligent migration capability, significantly improving the safety, stability and intelligent level of offshore wind power cable operation.

The thermal potential analysis and decision module is used for calculating the dynamic drift rate of the heat field distribution center of gravity of the cable by using an adaptive thermal potential vector solver based on the heat field information output by the digital twin model, and generating an advance load reduction decision curve of the wind turbine power output according to the drift trend. The risk identification and intervention module is used for fusing the dynamic change data of the thermal potential vector and the spatial distribution information of the digital twin model, constructing a multi-dimensional risk tensor, and triggering a local robot patrol node deployed in the cable path to perform plug-in silt backfilling operation according to the change result of the risk tensor. The backfilling strategy optimization module is used for collecting the local heat field change result after the backfilling operation, and optimizing the trigger frequency and backfilling depth of the silt backfilling by a hybrid reinforcement learning algorithm based on the heat island duration, the local temperature change rate of the cable and the wind turbine power loss information.
