Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power digitalization technology, and in particular to an intelligent early warning system and method for gas turbines in the energy industry. Background Technology

[0002] Gas-fired power generation, with its unique characteristics of being clean, stable, and flexible, is favored by power generation manufacturers. However, the high operation and maintenance costs of gas turbines are a significant obstacle to the development of gas-fired power generation. How to leverage next-generation digital technologies such as artificial intelligence to achieve a new leap in operation and maintenance costs and management decisions amidst the digital revolution has become the most pressing challenge for gas-fired power generation.

[0003] Currently, the management of gas turbine power generation mainly adopts centralized processing, with all processing taking place in the cloud. Training and inference are performed in the cloud. In practical applications, especially during inference, data needs to be sent from the edge to the cloud for inference. Due to the geographical isolation between the edge and the cloud, the following shortcomings exist: 1. The network latency is relatively large, making real-time inference impossible; 2. Security cannot be guaranteed, and real-time accurate early warning cannot be provided.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a real-time and accurate early warning monitoring method for gas turbines has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention constructs a cloud-edge collaborative architecture, forming a closed loop of data processing, operator development, cloud training, edge inference, and data feedback, effectively supporting intelligent early warning for gas turbines.

[0006] On one hand, the present invention provides an intelligent early warning system for gas turbines in the energy industry, comprising:

[0007] The cloud platform consists of an infrastructure layer, a cloud capability layer, a cloud node core layer, and a cloud-edge interaction management layer. The infrastructure layer, constructed using Kubernetes, allocates hardware resources when the edge model start / stop service module launches the Docker model image. The cloud node core layer comprises a data processing module, a model building module, a training and optimization module, a deployment management module, and an integrated training and inference engine. It is used to build models based on gas turbine data and to train, evaluate, and test these models to obtain qualified training models. The cloud-edge interaction management layer consists of an edge node management service module, a model push service module, a cloud heartbeat detection service module, and a push result processing service module.

[0008] Multiple edge terminals, each of which consists of an edge terminal heartbeat detection service module, a model receiving service module, a monitoring service module, a registration service module, a model start / stop service module, and an inference result push service module.

[0009] On the other hand, the present invention provides an intelligent early warning method for gas turbines in the energy industry, comprising:

[0010] Step S1: Build a model based on gas turbine data, and train, evaluate and test the model to obtain a qualified training model;

[0011] Step S2: Register the edge device to the remote device through the registration service module;

[0012] Step S3: Use the edge heartbeat detection service module and the cloud heartbeat detection service module to maintain the heartbeat connection between the edge and the cloud;

[0013] Step S4: Push the tested model from the cloud to the edge;

[0014] Step S5: The edge device performs inference using the received model and returns the inference results to the cloud.

[0015] Furthermore, step S1 of the intelligent early warning method for gas turbines in the energy industry of the present invention includes:

[0016] Step S11: The data processing module is used to tag, deduplicatize, fill in missing values, filter fields, and sort the environmental and operational data of the gas turbine to obtain model data, and then send the model data to the corresponding topic in the Kafka in the data processing module.

[0017] Step S12: Use the model building module to extract features from the model data, combine the two operators of device health and device early warning, and build the model.

[0018] Step S13: Using an integrated training and inference engine, based on the features extracted in step S12, subscribe to the corresponding gas turbine model data from the data processing module, adjust the training parameters, perform distributed training on the model, and obtain the training model.

[0019] Step S14: Use the training and optimization module to evaluate the alarm accuracy and recall of the training model. If the alarm accuracy is lower than 90% or the recall is lower than 92%, re-extract features and re-build and train the training model.

[0020] Step S15: Use the deployment management module to test the training models that have passed the evaluation, obtain the training models that have passed the test, and rebuild, train, evaluate and test the models that have not passed the test.

[0021] Furthermore, in step S15 of the intelligent early warning method for gas turbines in the energy industry of the present invention, the deployment management module is used to test the training model that has passed the evaluation to obtain a training model that has passed the test. This includes: sending model input parameters to the training model that has passed the evaluation using the deployment management module; if an inference result is returned, the training module is determined to have passed the test.

[0022] Furthermore, step S2 of the intelligent early warning method for gas turbines in the energy industry of the present invention includes:

[0023] Step S21: Use the edge node management service module to assign codes to the edge devices;

[0024] Step S22: Each edge terminal's registration service module sends a registration request to the edge terminal management service module, carrying the corresponding code;

[0025] Step S23: The edge node management service module receives and verifies the registration request, and at the same time obtains the AK and SK information of each edge node.

[0026] Furthermore, step S3 of the intelligent early warning method for gas turbines in the energy industry of the present invention includes: the edge heartbeat detection service module and the cloud heartbeat detection service module communicate once every 1 minute. If the communication fails, the communication is attempted 3 times consecutively. If the communication still fails, the communication is attempted again after an interval of 5 minutes. If the communication still fails, the connection between the edge heartbeat detection service module and the cloud heartbeat detection service module is disconnected, and an alarm is sent at the same time.

[0027] Furthermore, step S4 of the intelligent early warning method for gas turbines in the energy industry of the present invention includes:

[0028] Step S41: The model push service module encrypts the model file and model parameters in the cloud and sends them to the model receiving service module via HTTPS protocol. The model parameters include the underlying dependency framework information required for edge model packaging and the AK and SK information obtained by the edge node management module.

[0029] Step S42: The model receiving service module receives the model file and model parameters, authenticates the AK and SK, decrypts the model file, and packages it into a Docker model image.

[0030] Furthermore, step S5 of the intelligent early warning method for gas turbines in the energy industry of the present invention includes:

[0031] Step S51: Use the edge model start / stop service module to start the Docker model image according to the hardware resources allocated by Kubernetes, and deploy the started Docker model image;

[0032] Step S52: Subscribe to model data from the corresponding topic in the data processing module, perform inference based on the subscribed model data, and obtain the inference result;

[0033] Step S53: Use the inference result push service module to push the inference result with attached AK and SK information to the push result processing service module in the cloud;

[0034] Step S54: The cloud push result processing service module tags the received inference results and sends them to the data processing module.

[0035] Furthermore, in step S51 of the intelligent early warning method for gas turbines in the energy industry of the present invention, the deployment of the started Docker model image includes: deploying the started Docker model image by means of single instance deployment or multi-instance distributed deployment.

[0036] Furthermore, the intelligent early warning method for gas turbines in the energy industry of the present invention also includes: using a monitoring service module to monitor the operation and inference service call status of edge nodes.

[0037] The intelligent early warning system and method for gas turbines in the energy industry of this invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0038] 1. Model building, training, evaluation, and testing are performed in the cloud, while inference is performed at the edge. The cloud-trained model and edge data are seamlessly integrated, achieving collaboration and data unification between the cloud and the edge. This effectively reduces network latency for inference and enables real-time inference and early warning.

[0039] 2. Secure transmission of model files is achieved across the entire chain through national cryptographic encryption and cloud-edge authentication. By pushing weight files and packaging model images at the edge, the amount of communication between the cloud and the edge is effectively reduced. By employing edge-based inference and alarm processing, personnel and devices at the edge can quickly handle alarm information, which helps to avoid the risks caused by untimely processing.

[0040] 3. Enable data backflow training: After the model at the edge performs inference, the gas turbine data flows back to the cloud data processing module. After cleaning and labeling, it can be used to train the cloud model.

[0041] Based on the above-mentioned beneficial effects, the intelligent early warning system for gas turbines in the energy industry of this invention is more consistent with the actual situation of gas turbines on site, has high model early warning accuracy, and can save gas turbine operation and maintenance costs.
