Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system monitoring and control technology, and relates to a substation monitoring and early warning method and related devices based on neural networks. Background Technology
[0002] With the sustained and rapid development of my country's economy and the continuous advancement of industrialization and urbanization, the demand for electricity across society has maintained a high-speed upward trend. According to relevant statistics, in July 2025, my country's monthly electricity consumption exceeded 1 trillion kilowatt-hours for the first time, roughly equivalent to Japan's total annual electricity consumption. The power system is continuously expanding in scale and becoming increasingly complex in structure, posing unprecedented challenges to the safe and stable operation of the power grid. As a key node in power conversion and distribution, the equipment status of substations directly affects the reliability and quality of regional power supply. Currently, most substations still use traditional monitoring methods based on fixed thresholds, that is, by collecting parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and power factor in real time and comparing them with preset thresholds, an alarm is triggered once a limit is exceeded. Although this method is simple to implement, it has significant shortcomings: on the one hand, alarms often occur after the equipment status has become abnormal or even failed, lacking the ability to provide early warning; on the other hand, it is difficult to cope with complex operating conditions involving multi-parameter coupling and nonlinear changes, and cannot accurately judge the system's operating trend.
[0003] With the rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence technologies, some studies have attempted to introduce data-driven methods into power system monitoring. For example, CN118713296B proposed an online monitoring system and method for substations based on big data, which uses historical data mining to assess and regulate operational status. However, most of these methods still rely on traditional numerical calculations and statistical analysis, making it difficult to handle the dynamic behavior of high-dimensional, nonlinear, and time-varying power systems. The generalization ability and real-time performance of the models also have limitations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent monitoring and early warning method that can integrate multi-source data and possess predictive and autonomous optimization capabilities to improve the reliability, economy, and intelligence of substation operation. Summary of the Invention

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] The accompanying drawings illustrate various structural schematic diagrams according to embodiments disclosed in this invention. These drawings are not to scale, and some details have been enlarged for clarity, and some details may have been omitted. The shapes of the various regions and layers shown in the drawings, as well as their relative sizes and positional relationships, are merely exemplary and may deviate from reality due to manufacturing tolerances or technical limitations.

[0026] Example 1 refer to Figure 1 The substation monitoring and early warning method based on neural networks described in this invention includes: 1) Construct a training sample set; Historical operating data of substations are collected, including electrical parameters (such as voltage, current, active power, reactive power, power factor, frequency, harmonic distortion rate, etc.), equipment status parameters (such as transformer oil temperature, winding temperature, circuit breaker status, insulation strength, etc.), environmental parameters (such as ambient temperature, humidity, meteorological data, etc.), and operating event records (such as load switching, fault recording, protection action, etc.). The historical operating data of substations is cleaned, normalized, and pre-extracted for feature extraction, and then a training sample set is constructed. 2) Construct and train a multi-layer neural network model; 21) Based on the characteristics of substation parameters, a deep neural network structure with multiple hidden layers is constructed. Preferably, ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) is selected as the activation function, and its expression is:
[0027] The output of the multilayer neural network model is:
[0028] Where y is the output and g is the activation function. Let i be the weight of the i-th input. is the input feature, b is the bias term, and the model training uses the backpropagation algorithm to ensure that the model has high prediction accuracy and generalization ability.
[0029] 3) Real-time monitoring and online forecasting; The system acquires substation operating parameters in real time and inputs them into a trained neural network model. The model outputs predicted values for key substation parameters over a future period, such as load changes and equipment temperature trends within the next 5-30 minutes. These predicted values are then compared to actual measurements. If the deviation is greater than or equal to a preset deviation, a preliminary anomaly alert is triggered.
[0030] 4) Abnormal early warning and control decision-making; The predicted result is compared with the preset safe operating range. When the predicted result exceeds the preset safe operating range, an early warning signal is generated and the operation and maintenance personnel are prompted to intervene through the human-machine interface. At the same time, the control system of the substation is controlled to realize control functions such as automatic adjustment of active and reactive power, switching of operating mode, and starting of cooling device, thereby avoiding problems such as equipment overload, insulation aging, and fault expansion.
[0031] When scheduling demands require overload operation, a neural network model is used to calculate and predict changes in various parameters, and different control operations are performed in advance based on the calculation results. On the one hand, this provides data support for meeting special operating conditions, and on the other hand, it reduces damage to power plant equipment under special operating conditions.
[0032] In addition, the system continuously collects new operational data during actual operation and periodically performs incremental training or retraining on the neural network model to adapt to dynamic factors such as equipment aging, environmental changes, and load increases, thereby achieving continuous improvement in model capabilities and enhanced adaptability.
[0033] This invention has the following characteristics: This invention leverages the powerful nonlinear fitting and feature learning capabilities of deep neural networks to accurately characterize the complex coupling relationships and dynamic behaviors among multiple parameters in substations, achieving high prediction accuracy and strong adaptability. This invention realizes a shift from "post-event alarm" to "pre-event early warning."
[0034] Example 2 The substation monitoring and early warning system based on neural networks described in this invention includes: The prediction module is used to predict the values of key parameters of the substation over a future period based on neural networks. The comparison module is used to compare the predicted value with the actual measured value. When the deviation between the two is greater than or equal to the preset deviation, a preliminary abnormality prompt is triggered. The generation module is used to compare the preset value with its preset safe operating range when a preliminary abnormality prompt is received, and to generate a warning signal when the preset safe operating range is exceeded.
[0035] In this embodiment, the process of predicting the key parameters of the substation over a future period based on neural networks also includes: Construct a training sample set; Construct a multi-layer neural network model; The multilayer neural network model is trained using the training sample set to obtain the trained multilayer neural network model.
[0036] In this embodiment, the process of constructing the training sample set is as follows: Historical operating data of substations are collected, including electrical parameters, equipment status parameters, environmental parameters, and operating event records.
