Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of insulation status diagnosis of power equipment, and in particular, relates to a weight-adaptive acoustic-optical collaborative diagnosis method for external insulation of power equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the increase in the voltage level of the power system and the increase in the number of connected devices, the operational reliability of equipment and systems is becoming increasingly important. How to conduct online monitoring or status assessment more accurately, efficiently and quickly is the core goal of equipment operation and maintenance work, and is also the key to ensuring power supply reliability.

[0003] Abnormal corona discharge of equipment or line external insulation is usually caused by potential insulation defects such as dirty insulator surface, insulation cracking, poor electrical contact, and abnormal local electric field. It is not only an important cause of accelerated insulation aging, but also an early sign of equipment external insulation failure under overvoltage. Therefore, effective detection of abnormal corona discharge is an important part of equipment and line fault prevention. Corona discharge is often accompanied by a series of sound, light and other phenomena, so ultrasonic detection and ultraviolet detection methods are produced accordingly. In order to improve the efficiency and intuitiveness of inspections, solar-blind ultraviolet imaging technology and acoustic imaging technology are also used in the visual detection of equipment and line external insulation. Ultraviolet imaging technology collects ultraviolet photons discharged in the solar-blind band through ultraviolet optical lenses, and finally uses photoelectric arrays for grayscale imaging, which is superimposed with the visible light field of view to obtain the location of the discharge source. Although this method has a solid theoretical basis, and studies have quantified the relationship between the discharge amount and the number of ultraviolet photons, it is limited by the principle of optical imaging and has certain limitations in practical applications. For example, when the discharge source is blocked or exists outside the visual bright field, ultraviolet photons are difficult to be effectively captured, resulting in a detection blind spot or positioning failure. In recent years, acoustic imaging technology has been introduced into the field of ultrasonic positioning due to its strong focusing ability, high resolution and wide-band sensitivity. Acoustic signals have strong penetration ability in solid media and are less affected by field of view obstruction, which effectively makes up for the shortcomings of ultraviolet imaging detection. However, ultrasonic imaging is easily affected by environmental noise, and the positioning accuracy will be significantly reduced in complex environments.

[0004] Research shows that the joint detection system can use the advantages of multiple monitoring methods to achieve complementarity and overcome the shortcomings of a single detection method. At the same time, with the application of image information fusion technology in medical detection, military satellites and infrared remote sensing, the development of multi-image joint detection technology has become more mature. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, coordinate the technical advantages of ultrasonic and ultraviolet detection methods, and provide an acoustic-optical coordinated diagnostic algorithm to locate external insulation faults of power equipment more accurately and with stronger anti-interference ability.

[0007] In the weight-adaptive acoustic-optical collaborative diagnosis method for external insulation of power equipment, information on reaction intensity in ultrasonic images and ultraviolet images is extracted and fused as a foreground image; the background image is a visible light image taken by a visible light camera; the fusion weight of the ultrasonic image and the ultraviolet image changes with the environmental signal-to-noise ratio, and the position information Y of the local discharge in the field of view is obtained. fu , which is convenient for visually locating the location of insulation degradation. What changes with the signal-to-noise ratio is the proportion of the foreground image synthesized by the feature quantities of the ultrasonic image and the ultraviolet image.

[0008] In the weight-adaptive acoustic-optical collaborative diagnosis method for external insulation of power equipment, ultrasonic images, ultraviolet images, and visible light images taken by a visible light camera are processed and feature extracted to obtain ultrasonic sound intensity U S , ultraviolet photon number vn image features and visible light image, the extracted ultrasonic sound intensity U S 、UV photon number v n They are used to obtain the local discharge fusion information Y of the output ultrasound and ultraviolet respectively. ul , Y uv After the adaptive weight adjustment determined by the environmental noise, the local discharge location information Y is obtained. fu .

Its essence is actually a pseudo-color image converted from the sound intensity matrix, and the extracted target is the sound intensity distribution matrix; the ultraviolet image reflects the number of ultraviolet photons sensed by the ultraviolet lens, and the ultraviolet camera will record the number of photons sensed at different positions in the space, which is the number of ultraviolet photons; the visible light image is the photo taken by the visible light camera and is used as the background image.

[0010] The weight-adaptive acoustic-optical collaborative diagnosis method for external insulation of power equipment uses BP neural network to train the ultrasonic image and ultraviolet image obtained by detection in advance, and the ultrasonic and ultraviolet partial discharge fusion information Y output by the BP neural network is obtained. ul , Y uv Conduct external insulation status assessment of power equipment.

The receiving frequency of the ultrasonic sensor for collecting partial discharge signals is set to 20-60kHz, and different signal-to-noise ratios are simulated by adding Gaussian white noise.

[0015] The weight-adaptive acoustic-optical collaborative diagnosis method for external insulation of power equipment, after inputting training samples to complete the training of the BP neural network, when applying the method, takes visible light images, ultrasonic images and ultraviolet videos of the object to be detected; and at the same time detects the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the environment;
