[0048] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that traditional time-domain and frequency-domain analysis methods are difficult to comprehensively extract the characteristics of vibration signals and cannot timely determine the type of fault that occurs after a fault occurs, this application discloses a detection method for on-load tap-changer faults based on singular value entropy through the following embodiments.

[0049] The present application discloses a detection method for on-load tap-changer faults based on singular value entropy. Refer to Figure 1 the schematic diagram of the workflow shown in

[0050] Step S101: Obtain the current signal during the switching of the on-load tap-changer through a current sensor, and obtain the vibration signal of the on-load tap-changer through an acceleration sensor.

[0051] Among them, the acceleration sensor is placed near the top cover of the on-load tap-changer.

[0052] Step S102: According to the current signal, obtain the main vibration waveform during the switching of the switch in the vibration signal.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the obtaining the main vibration waveform during the switching of the switch in the vibration signal according to the current signal includes:

[0054] According to the current signal, determine the start and end of the vibration signal, and align the vibration signal on the time axis.

[0055] Perform principal component truncation on the vibration signal aligned on the time axis.

[0056] Extract time series features of the signal according to the truncated vibration signal to obtain the main vibration waveform during the switching of the switch in the vibration signal.

[0057] Further, the performing principal component truncation on the vibration signal aligned on the time axis includes:

[0058] Based on the peak value of the vibration signal during each switch switching, perform principal component truncation on the vibration signal according to the preset vibration time of the switching switch. The vibration time of the switching switch is 250 ms, reducing unnecessary vibration information during analysis.

[0059] Step S103: Process the main vibration waveform to determine the singular value entropy of the intrinsic mode component.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the processing the main vibration waveform to determine the singular value entropy of the intrinsic mode component includes:

[0061] Perform empirical mode decomposition (EMD) on the main vibration waveform to obtain multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs).

[0062] Reconstruct the multiple intrinsic mode components to obtain a Hankel matrix. Specifically, use the delay embedding technique to perform phase space reconstruction on the IMF components to construct a Hankel matrix

[0063] Perform singular value decomposition on the Hankel matrix to obtain the singular values of the Hankel matrix and perform normalization processing.

[0064] Substitute the result of the normalization process into the singular value entropy calculation formula to determine the singular value entropy of multiple intrinsic mode components.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the empirical mode decomposition of the main vibration waveform to obtain multiple intrinsic mode components includes:

[0066] The basis function of the empirical mode decomposition is automatically generated according to the characteristics of the main vibration waveform, avoiding the problem of difficulty in pre-selecting the optimal basis function similar to wavelet (packet) decomposition.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the reconstruction of the multiple intrinsic mode components to obtain a Hankel matrix includes:

[0068] Determine the Hankel matrix through the following formula:

[0069]

[0070] where A represents the Hankel matrix, x(t) represents the vibration signal, N represents the preset length of the vibration signal, and K represents the preset length of the phase space.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the length of the vibration signal is 12,800 and the length of the phase space is 1,024.

[0072] Specifically, the vibration signal is intercepted for 0.25 s and the sampling rate is 51.2 kHz. Therefore, the length N of the vibration signal is 12,800. Assuming that the length of the phase space (number of columns) K is as large as possible at 1,024, and the number of rows is (N - K + 1) = 11,776, finally a Hankel matrix A of order K*(N - K + 1) is obtained. Therefore, the Hankel matrix A can be determined as follows:

[0073]

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the singular value decomposition of the Hankel matrix to obtain the singular values S = diag(σ1, σ2, σ3,...., σ K ), and perform normalization processing, including:

[0075] Perform singular value decomposition through the following formula:

[0076] H = USV T ;

[0077] S = diag(σ1, σ2, σ3,...., σ K );

[0078] Wherein, S = diag(σ1, σ2, σ3,...., σ K ) represents the singular value matrix of matrix H, and U and V represent orthogonal matrices.

[0079] Substitute the obtained Hankel matrix into the formula H = USV T to obtain the singular value matrix S = diag(σ1, σ2, σ3,...., σ K ), and then square the singular value matrix S to obtain and perform normalization processing, resulting in and it can be obtained that ∑E i = 1, meeting the normalization condition of entropy. Then substitute it into the formula for calculating entropy to calculate the IMF singular value entropy of the vibration signal x(t).

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, substituting the result of the normalization processing into the singular value entropy calculation formula to determine the singular value entropy of multiple intrinsic mode components includes:

[0081] The singular value entropy calculation formula is as follows:

[0082] P = -∑Ei l nE i ;

[0083] Wherein, P represents the singular value entropy of the intrinsic mode component.

[0084] Specifically, by comparing the entropies of the singular values of the IMF components in different states, the fault type can be accurately identified. Compared with only calculating the singular values of the matrix, the singular value entropy can better reflect the differences in the complexity of the signals in each frequency band, thereby more accurately identifying the fault type.

[0085] Step S104, perform principal component analysis dimensionality reduction on the singular value entropy of the intrinsic mode component, and use the K-Means unsupervised clustering algorithm to separate different types of fault samples from non-fault samples to complete fault detection and classification.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, performing principal component analysis dimensionality reduction on the singular value entropy of the intrinsic mode component includes:

[0087] Perform principal component analysis dimensionality reduction on the singular value entropy of the intrinsic mode component, reducing the 9-dimensional features to 2-dimensional features, thereby reducing the complexity of the K-Means unsupervised clustering algorithm (the feature matrix changes from R m×n (m is the number of samples, n is the dimension before dimensionality reduction) to Rm×2 ) to reduce the risk of overfitting.

[0088] Specifically, the singular value eigenvectors after dimensionality reduction are brought into the K-Means unsupervised clustering algorithm to accurately separate different types of fault samples from non-fault samples, achieving the effect of fault classification and diagnosis.

[0089] A method for detecting on-load tap-changer faults based on singular value entropy disclosed in the above embodiments of the present application obtains the current signal during the switching of the on-load tap-changer through a current sensor and the vibration signal of the on-load tap-changer through an acceleration sensor; obtains the main vibration waveform during the switching in the vibration signal according to the current signal; processes the main vibration waveform to determine the singular value entropy of the intrinsic mode components; performs principal component analysis (PCA) dimensionality reduction on the singular value entropy of the intrinsic mode components, and uses the K-Means unsupervised clustering algorithm to separate different types of fault samples from non-fault samples to complete fault detection and classification. The present application can effectively and timely determine the type of fault that occurs after a fault occurs in the on-load tap-changer.

[0090] Exemplarily, the acceleration sensor is placed on the top cover of the on-load tap-changer to collect the vibration signal during the switching of the on-load tap-changer, and the sampling frequency is 51.2 kHz. The vibration signals during switching in the normal and faulty states are collected, and the original signals are as Figure 2 shown.

[0091] A total of 250 ms of the main vibration signal is intercepted based on the highest amplitude, and the intercepted signal already contains all the information of the tap-changer operation. The main vibration signals of the normal and vacuum tube faults unified on the time axis are as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0092] See Figure 5 , which is a schematic diagram of each intrinsic mode component after empirical mode decomposition in the fault state provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0093] As shown in Table 1, it can be seen that the entropy values of the singular values of each intrinsic mode component are relatively large when a fault occurs. The entropy values of the singular values of the components extracted by this method can provide reliable feature components for the subsequent application of the K-Means unsupervised clustering algorithm and provide key information for fault identification and classification.

[0094] Table 1

[0095]

[0096] The total number of samples in this embodiment is 45, and 20 of them are faulty samples. Therefore, the entropy of the singular values obtained above is further reduced in dimension by PCA, reducing the 9-dimensional features to 2-dimensional features, thereby reducing the complexity of the classification algorithm (the feature matrix changes from R 45×9 to R 45×2 ), reducing the risk of overfitting.

[0097] Furthermore, the dimension-reduced singular value feature vectors obtained above are brought into the K-Means unsupervised clustering algorithm to accurately separate different types of faulty samples from non-faulty samples, achieving the effect of fault classification and diagnosis. See Figure 6 , which is a schematic diagram of the results after K-Means unsupervised clustering provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0098] The present application has been described in detail above in combination with specific embodiments and exemplary examples, but these descriptions should not be construed as limiting the present application. Those skilled in the art understand that without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various equivalent replacements, modifications or improvements can be made to the technical solutions and their implementation manners of the present application, and these all fall within the scope of the present application. The protection scope of the present application is subject to the appended claims.
