Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of insulation condition detection of power equipment, and particularly relates to a fault diagnosis method for ring main units integrating multiple types of sensors. Background Art

[0002] In the insulation system of electrical equipment, the electric field distribution is often not completely uniform. When the electric field strength in a local area reaches the breakdown field strength of that area, discharge occurs in that area, but the discharge does not penetrate between the two conductors to which the voltage is applied, and the phenomenon that the insulation system has not been broken down is local discharge. The occurrence of local discharge will lead to the continuous deterioration of the insulation system and may ultimately cause power outage accidents, etc.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used detection methods for local discharge in ring main units include the pulse current method, the TEV (Transmission Electro-Voice) method, the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) method, and the ultrasonic method. The local discharge detection of ring main units involves the measurement technologies of multiple sensors in multiple fields of electrical and non-electrical quantities. The traditional single local discharge detection method is vulnerable to external signal interference, and its application has certain limitations. By adopting the fusion technology of multiple sensors, the advantages of the common operation of multiple sensors are exerted, the limitations of single or a small number of sensors are eliminated, and the effectiveness and accuracy of local discharge detection are greatly improved. Insulation faults mainly include internal insulation faults, external insulation flashover breakdown to the ground, phase-to-phase insulation flashover breakdown, porcelain insulator flashover breakdown and explosion, CT flashover breakdown and explosion, flashover breakdown caused by overvoltage, etc. It can be seen that detecting the insulation defects existing in the ring main unit and eliminating potential hazards at an early stage are of great significance for improving the operation stability of the power system. Summary of the Invention

[0022] S1. Hybrid model construction: Build a typical fault simulation experimental platform for the ring main unit to conduct fault simulation.

[0025] b. Use the cross-validation method to train the basic model. Use train1, train2, trian3, train4, and train5 as validation sets in turn, and the remaining 4 sets as training sets. Perform cross-validation to train the model, and then make predictions on the test set. In this way, 5 predictions data can be obtained when training the BP neural network, and one prediction value B1 can be obtained on the test set. The probabilistic neural network and LSTM data network can also obtain 5 predictions data respectively. These 5 data are stacked vertically and recorded as A1.

[0026] c. After the basic model is trained, the prediction values of the basic model on the training set are used as new training sets Train={A1,A2,A3};

[0027] d. Input the training set Train and the obtained predicted value into the linear regression model for model training and establish a linear regression model;

In this embodiment, the value of K is 1.1. If α < 1.1, the signal is considered abnormal;

[0032] S32. If it is an abnormal signal, divide the signal data with a fixed-length window. Select the window as M (M < N), then the new sequence obtained after data division is Y s , and based on the long short-term memory artificial neural network (LSTM), extract features from the data set Y to obtain the feature set h l ; The selected activation function is: , where W xf 、W hf is the weighting coefficient of the input signal at x t , x t-1 , and b f is the bias term; otherwise, directly upload the extracted partial discharge amplitude without feature extraction and model prediction, and the fault diagnosis result is normal;

[0035] Specifically, for the extracted features h l upload them to the background processing center, and at the same time, upload the values collected by the smoke sensor v 1 and the values collected by the water immersion sensor v 2 to the background processing center, and combine them to form a new feature interval T = { h l , v 1, v 2}.

[0036] Specifically, the background processing center makes predictions based on the trained basic model of the collected feature set T, obtaining three predicted values B1, B2, and B3. Using these three predicted values to construct three feature values (B1, B2, B3), and inputting them into the trained linear regression model for prediction to obtain the final fault diagnosis result.
