[0068] A substation intelligent safety management system 100, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a remote intelligent inspection subsystem 110, an intelligent analysis subsystem 120, and a client interaction subsystem 130;

[0069] The remote intelligent inspection subsystem 110 is deployed at the substation station end, such as...

[0076] The voiceprint monitoring device has a sampling rate of 44.1kHz and a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz, and supports the identification of abnormal sounds, such as equipment noises and discharge sounds.

[0077] In the environmental and condition monitoring device, the acoustic fingerprint sensor is used to identify abnormal equipment noises, while temperature and humidity sensors, air pressure sensors, and dust concentration sensors are used to collect environmental parameters.

[0079] The remote intelligent inspection subsystem has two deployment methods: the edge node type is equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson AGXXavier edge computing module, which supports parallel processing of 8 video streams and is suitable for large substations of 220kV and above; the direct access type uses an embedded gateway, which only realizes data acquisition and uploading and is suitable for small and medium-sized substations of 110kV and below.

[0080] The intelligent analysis subsystem 120 is deployed on a cloud server, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes an image preprocessing module 121, an anomaly recognition module 122, an equipment classification module 123, and a risk assessment module 124;

[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 4The flowchart of the intelligent analysis subsystem is shown. The intelligent analysis subsystem 120 is deployed on a cloud server. The GPU is NVIDIA A100 with 80GB of video memory and the CPU is Intel Xeon Platinum 8380. It includes an image preprocessing module, an anomaly recognition module, a device classification module and a risk assessment module. Each module is deployed through Docker containerization, supports horizontal scaling, and can process up to 100 video streams concurrently.

[0082] The client interaction subsystem 130 adopts a B / S architecture and is used for data visualization, remote control, and log management. Specifically, the client interaction subsystem 130 adopts a B / S architecture, is developed based on the Django 4.2 framework, and supports access from browsers such as Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, and Edge 90+. It includes a data visualization module (using ECharts 5.4 to implement chart rendering), a remote control module (supporting WebSocket real-time communication), and a log management module (logs are stored in JSON format and retained for ≥3 years).

[0083] The image preprocessing module 121 is based on the CycleGAN algorithm and includes a generator and a discriminator. The generator adopts an improved U-Net structure, including an encoding path and a decoding path containing multiple convolutional blocks. Features from the encoding and decoding paths are fused through skip connections to preserve image edges and texture details. The discriminator adopts a PatchGAN structure to determine the realism of local image regions. Figure 5 The image shows a comparison of the preprocessing effects of CycleGAN.

[0084] The anomaly detection module 122 is implemented based on the YOLOv5s network;

[0085] The equipment classification module 123 uses a random forest classifier combined with a deep convolutional neural network to identify electrical equipment. For example... Figure 6 The flowchart shown is for the implementation of the electrical equipment identification module based on the random forest classifier.

[0086] Image preprocessing module 121 is built based on the CycleGAN algorithm, including two generators (G, F) and two discriminators (D). x D Y );

[0087] Generator G is used to map source domain X (low-quality substation images, including foggy, low-light, and noisy images) to target domain Y (sharpened images), and generator F is used to reverse map target domain Y back to source domain X, realizing bidirectional conversion between image domains;

[0088] Specifically, the generator adopts an improved U-Net structure. The encoding path contains 6 convolutional blocks, each consisting of two 3×3 convolutional layers, a batch normalization layer, and a LeakyReLU activation function with a stride of 2. The decoding path contains 6 deconvolutional blocks, each consisting of one 4×4 deconvolutional layer, a batch normalization layer, and a ReLU activation function with a stride of 2. By using skip connections, the features of the i-th layer of the encoding path and the (6-i)-th layer of the decoding path are fused to preserve image edges and texture details.

[0089] The discriminator adopts the PatchGAN structure, which contains 5 convolutional layers: the input is a 256×256×3 image, which is convolved to output feature maps of 128×128×64, 64×64×128, 32×32×256, 16×16×512, and 8×8×1 respectively. Finally, a 30×30 discriminant matrix is ​​output through Sigmoid activation to determine the authenticity of local regions in the image.

[0090] The loss function of the image preprocessing module 121 includes:

[0091] The cycle consistency loss is calculated using the following formula:

[0092] L cyc (G,F)=E x~X |F(G(x))-x||1+E y~Y |G(F(y))-y||1

[0093] Where x is the source domain image, y is the target domain image, and E is the expectation operator;

[0094] The formula for calculating the counter-loss is:

[0095]

[0096] The total loss function is:

[0097] L(G,F,D X D Y ) = L adv (G,D Y )+L adv (F,D X )+λL cyc (G,F)

[0098] Wherein, λ is the weight of the cycle consistency loss, and in the preferred embodiment, λ = 10.

[0099] The model training parameters included: batch size 1, number of iterations 200, optimizer Adam (β1 = 0.5, β2 = 0.999, initial learning rate 0.0002), and the learning rate linearly decayed to 0 after 100 iterations. After processing, the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the image increased from 20dB to ≥28dB, and the structural similarity index (SSIM) increased from 0.6 to ≥0.9.

[0100] The anomaly detection module 122 is implemented based on the YOLOv5 algorithm and includes a dataset construction unit, a model training unit, and a real-time detection unit. The dataset construction unit collects substation anomaly samples, including various equipment faults and personnel violations. The model training unit is based on the YOLOv5s network and performs image enhancement, adaptive anchor box calculation, hyperparameter setting, and training and optimization of the network model based on the bounding box loss function. The real-time detection unit extracts images in real time and performs image preprocessing, feature extraction, feature fusion, and target prediction before outputting the results. The feature fusion uses upsampling and downsampling to fuse features at different scales.

[0103] Eight types of personnel violations: not wearing a safety helmet, not wearing insulated clothing, smoking, climbing over fences, working on live lines without supervision, entering restricted areas by mistake, operating in violation of regulations, and carrying fire sources;

[0104] The dataset contains 25,000 images (640×640 resolution), including 20,000 images in the training set and 5,000 images in the validation set. The images are labeled in VOC format using the labelimg tool. Each bounding box contains a category label (e.g., “blue_helmet”, “insulator_damage”) and coordinate information (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax).

[0105] The model training unit is based on a YOLOv5s network (depth factor 0.33, width factor 0.5), and the following training strategy is adopted:

[0106] Data augmentation: Mosaic enhancement (random scaling, cropping, and stitching of 4 images), random horizontal flipping (probability 0.5), random angle rotation (-10° to 10°), HSV color dithering (saturation and brightness shift ±10%), and noise addition (Gaussian noise, variance 0.01).

[0107] Adaptive anchor box calculation: Based on the size of the labeled boxes in the training set, generate 9 anchor boxes ([10,13],[16,30],[33,23],[30,61],[62,45],[59,119],[116,90],[156,198],[373,326]);

[0108] Hyperparameter settings: epochs=300, batch_size=8, img_size=640, learning rate 0.001, warm-up strategy for the first 10 epochs, momentum 0.937, weight decay 0.0005;

[0109] Loss functions: CIoU_Loss was used for bounding box loss, BCEWithLogitsLoss for confidence loss, and BCEWithLogitsLoss for classification loss. During model training, the average accuracy on the validation set reached 88.5%, with an accuracy of 92.3% for "not wearing a safety helmet", 89.7% for "damaged insulator" and 87.6% for "oil stains on equipment".

[0110] The processing flow of the real-time detection unit is as follows:

[0111] Video frame extraction: Extract images from the RTSP stream at 25 frames per second, and resize to 640×640 using bilinear interpolation;

[0112] Image preprocessing: normalization (pixel value divided by 255), channel conversion (BGR to RGB);

[0113] Feature extraction: The 640×640×3 image was sliced ​​into 320×320×12 segments using the Focus structure, and multi-scale features (80×80, 40×40, 20×20) were extracted using the CSP1_X structure.

[0114] Feature fusion: An FPN+PAN architecture is adopted to fuse features at different scales through upsampling and downsampling;

[0115] Target prediction: The output layer predicts bounding boxes (x, y, w, h), confidence scores, and class probabilities, and uses DIOU-NMS (threshold 0.45) to filter redundant boxes;

[0116] Output results: Abnormal areas are marked, with green boxes indicating equipment failures and red boxes indicating personnel violations, along with confidence levels. Detection speed is ≥30fps.

[0118] Training dataset construction:

[0119] Equipment categories: 3000 insulators, 2000 silicone tubes, 3000 breathers, 500 transformers, and 2000 power transmission poles. Image sources include on-site data collected by partner companies and the PowerImage database.

[0120] Image preprocessing: Crop the device area, remove the background, normalize the size, scale the long side to 256 pixels, scale the short side proportionally, fill empty parts with 0, convert to grayscale to a single-channel image, and apply Gaussian filtering (kernel size 3×3, σ=1.0).

[0121] Feature extraction stage:

[0122] A pre-trained ResNet50 network was used, pre-trained on the ImageNet dataset, and the last fully connected layer was removed, retaining the 2048-dimensional feature vector output by the average pooling layer.

[0123] Feature selection: Calculate the variance inflation factor (VIF) between features, remove highly redundant features with VIF > 10, and retain 15 key features (such as edge gradient, texture entropy, and shape moments).

[0124] Random Forest Model Training:

[0125] 1000 training subsets were generated using Bootstrap sampling (70% sampling rate);

[0126] The construction parameters for each decision tree are: maximum depth 20, minimum number of split samples 10, minimum number of leaf node samples 5, and the splitting criterion is the Gini index.

[0127] Feature random selection: 45 features are randomly selected when each node splits;

[0128] Model evaluation: Using 5-fold cross-validation, the average accuracy rate was 85.6%, with 88% accuracy rate for identifying power transmission poles and 86% accuracy rate for identifying transformers.

[0129] The formula for feature importance scoring is:

[0200] Update the device health score, with a maximum score of 100. Each abnormality deducts 5-20 points. For example... Figure 9 The diagram shows the interface for switching and selecting test reports.

[0201] In the preferred embodiment, the specific values ​​and adjustment rules for each parameter in the risk index calculation formula are as follows:

[0202] Equipment failure probability P fault :

[0203] Calculated based on the equipment's service life t (years): P fault = 1 - exp(-(t / η) β ), where η is the characteristic life (15 years for transformers, 10 years for insulators), and β is the shape parameter, ranging from 1.8 to 2.2, adjusted according to the equipment type;

[0209] S env = 0.4 × Temperature Score + 0.3 × Humidity Score + 0.3 × Dust Concentration Score;

[0210] Historical response time T response :

[0211] T response =min(1, actual response time / 60), where the actual response time is in minutes (if it exceeds 60 minutes, it is calculated as 60 minutes);

[0212] If the response time for the last three similar anomalies is less than 10 minutes, T response Multiply by a factor of 0.8;

[0213] Weighting coefficient adjustment:

[0220] In a preferred embodiment, the management method is implemented using the substation intelligent safety management system described above, including the following steps:

[0221] Step 1: Deploy the remote intelligent inspection subsystem:

[0222] Equipment installation: Cameras should be installed at a height of 3-5 meters, covering ≥90% of the equipment; robot tracks should be laid along the equipment with a spacing of ≤10 meters; drone take-off and landing points should be selected in open areas, avoiding high-voltage equipment;

[0223] Network configuration: Set up VLAN isolation, separate the data acquisition network from the office network, and configure firewall rules (allow only 5G or fiber optic port communication);

[0224] Calibration: Time synchronization of the camera (NTP server, error ≤1ms), and path calibration of the robot (error ≤5cm);

[0225] Step 2: Image preprocessing:

[0226] Input the original image, calculate the sharpness using the Laplacian operator, and start enhancement when the gradient mean is <50;

[0227] The CycleGAN model is invoked to generate a sharpened image, and the original and enhanced images are saved for comparison.

[0228] Perform quality checks on the enhanced image. If PSNR < 25dB, perform enhancement again (up to 3 times).

[0229] Step 3: Anomaly Detection

[0230] Load the pre-trained YOLOv5 model weights (best.pt) and set the confidence threshold to 0.6;

[0239] After the maintenance personnel complete the task, they upload the results, and the system automatically updates the work order status.

[0240] A daily "Safety Operation Report" is generated, which includes indicators such as the number of anomalies, the handling rate, and risk trends.

[0241] Alternatively, the system can exist as a computer-readable storage medium, in which case the storage medium is an SSD (capacity ≥ 1TB, NVMe interface), formatted with the EXT4 file system, and the stored programs include:

[0242] Remote data acquisition module program: developed based on Python 3.9, using OpenCV 4.5 to acquire images, using the pyserial library to read sensor data, and supporting multi-threading (maximum 32 threads);

[0247] Scalability: Supports plug-in development (reserves algorithm interfaces for integration with new detection models);

[0248] Compatibility: Compatible with operating systems such as Windows Server 2019, Ubuntu 20.04, and CentOS 8.

[0249] In addition to the modules described above, the system may also include other components. Some of these components are not related to the contents of this disclosure, so their illustrations and descriptions are omitted here and will not be repeated.

[0250] Here is a specific example and a verification example:

[0251] Taking the actual deployment and operation of a 220kV hub substation as an example, this paper provides a detailed explanation of the technical implementation of this system. The substation covers an area of ​​approximately 60,000 square meters and contains more than 500 electrical devices, including transformers, switchgear, and insulators. The surrounding environment is complex, with climatic characteristics such as high temperatures and frequent fog. Traditional manual inspections have an average annual delay of more than 48 hours in detecting faults, making intelligent upgrades urgently needed.

[0252] During the system deployment phase, the remote intelligent inspection subsystem is configured as an edge node: the inspection host uses an Intel Xeon W-1290 industrial-grade server, equipped with 64GB of memory and 2TB of SSD storage, and connects to 8 high-definition cameras, 2 wheeled robots, and 1 quadcopter drone via an industrial switch. The thermal imaging cameras are deployed in the transformer area, covering a temperature range of -20℃ to 150℃ with an accuracy controlled within ±2℃, acquiring one frame of infrared image time series every 30 minutes; the wheeled robots use a tracked walking mechanism, with a climbing ability of up to 35° and a flight time of 9 hours, acquiring close-up images of the equipment every 5 meters along a preset track, and simultaneously recording ultrasonic obstacle avoidance data; the drone is equipped with a 1-inch CMOS camera, flying along the power transmission line three times a day, taking one image of the line every 10 meters, with a maximum flight altitude controlled at 100 meters to ensure safety. The communication module adopts a dual-link redundancy design of 5G and fiber optic. The 5G module operates in the Sub-6GHz band with a measured peak rate of 1.2Gbps, while the fiber optic link has a transmission rate of 10Gbps. The infrared image, device status and other data are encrypted and transmitted using the AES-256 encryption algorithm. The data transmission latency is consistently within 15ms after testing. The local cache capacity supports 48 hours of full data storage when the network is down.

[0253] The intelligent analysis subsystem is deployed on an NVIDIA A100 server in the cloud, using Docker containerization to deploy its four main modules. The image preprocessing module, designed for the foggy and low-light environment of substations, employs the CycleGAN algorithm for image enhancement: the generator G receives low-quality images from foggy conditions, extracts features through a 6-layer coded convolutional block (3×3 kernel, stride 2), reconstructs a clear image (target domain Y) through a 6-layer decoded deconvolutional block (4×4 kernel, stride 2), and a skip connection fuses the features from the 3rd coded and 3rd decoded layers, preserving minute details such as insulator cracks; the discriminator D... x The PatchGAN structure is adopted, which outputs a 30×30 discriminant matrix for a 256×256 input image. The model is optimized by adversarial loss and cycle consistency loss (λ=10). In actual tests, the PSNR of foggy images improved from 21dB to 29dB and the SSIM improved from 0.58 to 0.92 after processing, meeting the requirements for subsequent recognition.

[0254] The anomaly detection module is trained on a YOLOv5s model. The dataset contains 25,000 substation images, covering 32 types of equipment faults and 8 types of personnel violations. During training, Mosaic enhancement technology is used to randomly scale and stitch together four different equipment images, combined with HSV color dithering to simulate lighting changes, adaptively generating nine anchor boxes to fit different target sizes. After model deployment, preprocessed images are sampled at 25 frames per second. A Focus structure is used to slice the 640×640×3 image into 320×320×12 feature maps. Multi-scale features of 80×80, 40×40, and 20×20 are extracted using a CSP1_X structure, and finally fused and output through an FPN+PAN architecture. In actual testing, the accuracy rate for "switchgear overheating" reached 91.2%, and the accuracy rate for "not wearing a safety helmet" reached 92.3%, with a single frame processing time of 0.03 seconds, meeting real-time requirements.

[0255] The equipment classification module employs a ResNet50 + Random Forest combination: after cropping images of abnormal regions, a pre-trained ResNet50 network extracts 2048-dimensional features, calculates the variance inflation factor between features, and selects 15 key features (VIF≤8), including edge gradient and texture entropy. The Random Forest model constructs 1000 decision trees, each with a maximum depth of 20 and a minimum of 5 samples per leaf node, generating a training subset through Bootstrap sampling. In the testing phase, 500 equipment images were classified, achieving recognition accuracies of 84%, 86%, 85%, 85%, and 88% for five types of equipment, including insulators and transformers, respectively. The effective recognition rate for confidence levels ≥0.8 reached 92%.

[0256] The risk assessment process employs a three-level index model: equipment failure probability P fault Based on the Weibull distribution calculation, for example, a 110kV insulator that has been in operation for 7 years has a characteristic life of 10 years, a shape parameter of 2.0, and P... fault =0.343; Environmental severity S env Based on real-time monitoring data, the score for high temperature (42℃) and high humidity (90%) in summer is 0.4×0.8+0.3×0.8+0.3×0.5=0.71; historical response time T response The average of 30 minutes over the past 3 months was taken and normalized to 0.5. The final risk index R = 0.5 × 0.343 + 0.3 × 0.71 + 0.2 × 0.5 = 0.487, which is judged as medium risk, triggering a level 2 alarm.

[0257] The client-side interaction subsystem implements a B / S architecture using the Django 4.2 framework. The data visualization module uses ECharts 5.4 to draw the real-time monitoring panel. The device list tree on the left is categorized by voltage level, and the video window on the right simultaneously displays four real-time video feeds. A scroll bar at the bottom displays alarm information from the past 24 hours. The risk level map uses SVG to draw a substation plan view, with high-risk areas (R≥0.7) highlighted in red and flashing. Clicking the transformer icon allows viewing its operating parameter curves and historical fault records. Maintenance personnel can adjust the robot's inspection path via the remote control module, with a command response time of ≤0.8 seconds. The log management module stores operation records in JSON format and retains them for 3 years.

[0258] During the six-month trial operation of the system, a total of 120,000 frames of infrared image time series were collected, 32,000 low-quality images were processed, 46 equipment failures were identified, including 12 minor defects, and 18 personnel violations were identified. The average failure detection time was shortened to 1.2 hours, the inspection efficiency was improved by 300%, and the operation and maintenance cost was reduced by 42%, which verified the effectiveness and reliability of the system in complex substation environments.

[0260] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
