Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of GIS high-voltage circuit breaker contact electrical life assessment technology, and in particular, a method and device for assessing the erosion of circuit breaker contacts based on multi-dimensional information fusion. Background Technology

[0002] For GIS high-voltage circuit breakers, the arc extinguishing process is completed by the contact system during the breaking process. The contact system is divided into main contacts and arc contacts. The main contacts are responsible for carrying current and are made of materials with good conductivity to reduce current carrying losses. The arc contacts are responsible for carrying the electric arc during breaking and closing and are made of materials resistant to ablation. During opening, the main contacts break before the arc contacts, and the arc contacts raise the arc, which is then extinguished in SF6 gas. During closing, the arc contacts make contact before the main contacts, and the voltage at the breaking point is expected to break through the arc contacts. After the arc contacts make contact, the main contacts make further contact and assume the current carrying function.

[0003] After repeated interruptions, the arc contact wears down and gradually shortens due to erosion. When the arc contact is eroded to a certain extent, it can no longer effectively bear the arc. At this point, the arc during the interruption process may cause the main contact to erode, thereby damaging the function of the entire contact system. Therefore, assessing the degree of arc contact erosion in the contact system is of great practical significance.

[0004] Arc energy is a key factor causing arc contact erosion, but it is difficult to measure. Currently, breaking current is commonly used to assess electrical lifetime, mainly including the cumulative breaking current weighted method and the arc time weighted assessment method. b Life curve method, etc. The dynamic resistance method measures the change in resistance during the opening and closing of the circuit breaker, which can intuitively reflect the burning condition of the arc contacts in the arc-extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker. However, it can only be measured when the circuit breaker is not in operation and cannot achieve online monitoring of electrical life.

[0005] The information disclosed in the background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes a method and device for evaluating the erosion of circuit breaker contacts based on multi-dimensional information fusion, thereby achieving high-precision online monitoring of the electrical life of arc contacts.

[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a method for evaluating the erosion of circuit breaker contacts based on multi-dimensional information fusion includes:

[0008] Step S100: Collect information in various dimensions during the operation of the circuit breaker, including vibration signal, angular displacement signal, opening and closing coil current signal, circuit break signal and circuit dynamic resistance signal.

[0009] Step S200: Preprocess the information of each dimension, including time-stamp alignment, sampling rate normalization and signal strength normalization of the information of each dimension, digital filtering of the vibration signal, and time-frequency domain transformation to convert the time domain signal to the time-frequency domain.

[0010] Step S300: Based on the preprocessed information of each dimension, feature extraction and feature value calibration are performed. Specifically, the circuit break signal is extracted to obtain the contact point of the circuit breaker arc contact and the corresponding main shaft angular displacement. The circuit dynamic resistance signal is extracted to obtain the main shaft angular displacement corresponding to the contact point of the circuit breaker main contact. The main shaft angular displacement corresponding to the main contact is labeled. The main shaft angular displacement is converted to the time domain. The angular displacements of the arc contact and the main contact are converted to the vibration signal.

[0011] Step S400: Evaluate the contact ablation amount using a feature fusion algorithm based on feature parameters. This involves extracting time-frequency domain energy features from the vibration signal and converting them into feature signals, obtaining feature parameters based on these feature signals, and then evaluating the circuit breaker's measured data using the feature fusion algorithm to obtain the contact ablation amount. Specifically, this involves extracting time-frequency domain energy features from the vibration signal and converting them into feature signals.

[0012]

[0013] In the formula, F(t) is the characteristic signal of the vibration signal, and E f (t) represents the energy of the vibration signal at a specific frequency band at time t, E total (t) represents the total energy of the vibration signal at time t. Based on the acquired characteristic signal, the characteristic parameters are obtained as follows:

[0014]

[0015] In the formula, F(t) is the characteristic signal of the vibration signal. Let be the energy of the vibration signal at a specific frequency band at time t. These are the characteristic parameters obtained by combining two sets of signals along the time axis.

[0016] In the circuit breaker contact erosion assessment method based on multi-dimensional information fusion, in step S200, the sampling rate matching adopts the interpolation method, which performs linear interpolation on the low sampling signals in each dimension of information by integer multiples, so as to match the high sampling rate signals of each dimension of information.

[0017] In the method for evaluating the erosion of circuit breaker contacts based on multi-dimensional information fusion, the time-frequency domain transformation method in step S200 includes S-transform, short-time Fourier transform, and wavelet transform.

[0026] In the aforementioned method for evaluating the erosion of circuit breaker contacts based on multi-dimensional information fusion, the feature fusion algorithm includes ANN algorithm, SVM algorithm, KNN algorithm, RVM algorithm, deep learning neural network algorithm, and Bayesian network algorithm.

[0027] In the circuit breaker contact erosion assessment method based on multi-dimensional information fusion, the feature vector of the training samples in the RVM algorithm is: The target vector is The classification function model of RVM is:

[0029] In the formula, x is the input training sample set, x i Let be the i-th training sample; n be the number of samples; ω be the weight vector, ω = [ω0, ω1, ..., ω2]. n ] T ω i Let ω be the i-th component of ω; ω0 be the initial weights; and y be the classifier output value; K(x, x)i Let ω be the kernel function. Introducing the S-function into the classification model, and assuming P(t|ω) follows a Bernoulli distribution, the likelihood estimate is:

[0030]

[0031] Here, the probability function σ(y) of the Bernoulli distribution P(t|ω) is the probability distribution function of the S-function. Within the Bayesian framework, weights are obtained through the maximum likelihood method, using a Gaussian prior distribution. Constraint parameters were defined for each weight to achieve a smooth model.

[0032]

[0033] In the formula, η=[η0, η1,..., η n ] T For each weight, a hyperparameter is introduced as an n+1 dimensional hyperparameter, thus generating a sparse probabilistic model.

[0034] Initialize the hyperparameter η;

[0035] A Gaussian approximation is established on the posterior probability based on the likelihood estimation probability, resulting in an approximation of the marginal likelihood. The marginal likelihood function of the approximation is maximized, leading to a re-estimation of the hyperparameter vector values. This process is repeated until the hyperparameter vector values ​​converge.

The accompanying drawings do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0069] To better understand, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the method for assessing the contact erosion of circuit breakers based on multi-dimensional information fusion includes:

[0070] Step S100: Collect information in various dimensions during the operation of the circuit breaker, including vibration signal, angular displacement signal, opening and closing coil current signal, circuit break signal and circuit dynamic resistance signal.

[0071] Step S200: Preprocess the information of each dimension, including time-stamp alignment, sampling rate normalization and signal strength normalization of the information of each dimension, digital filtering of the vibration signal, and time-frequency domain transformation to convert the time domain signal to the time-frequency domain.

[0072] Step S300: Based on the preprocessed information of each dimension, feature extraction and feature value calibration are performed. Specifically, the circuit break signal is extracted to obtain the contact point of the circuit breaker arc contact and the corresponding main shaft angular displacement. The circuit dynamic resistance signal is extracted to obtain the main shaft angular displacement corresponding to the contact point of the circuit breaker main contact. The main shaft angular displacement corresponding to the main contact is labeled. The main shaft angular displacement is converted to the time domain. The angular displacements of the arc contact and the main contact are converted to the vibration signal.

[0073] Step S400: The ablation amount of the contact is evaluated based on the feature parameters using a feature fusion algorithm. Specifically, time-frequency domain energy features are extracted from the vibration signal and converted into feature signals. Feature parameters are obtained based on the feature signals. The measured data of the circuit breaker are evaluated based on the feature fusion algorithm to obtain the ablation amount of the contact.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment of the circuit breaker contact erosion assessment method based on multi-dimensional information fusion, in step S200, the sampling rate matching adopts the interpolation method, which performs linear interpolation on the low sampling signals in each dimension of information by integer multiples, so as to match the high sampling rate signals of each dimension of information.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment of the circuit breaker contact erosion assessment method based on multi-dimensional information fusion, the time-frequency domain transformation method in step S200 includes S-transform, short-time Fourier transform, and wavelet transform.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment of the circuit breaker contact erosion assessment method based on multi-dimensional information fusion, in the S-transform,

[0077] The continuous S-transform of the signal r(t) to be measured is:

[0078]

[0079] In the formula, t is the signal sampling time, f is the specific frequency of the signal, τ is the translation factor, r(t) is the signal to be measured, π is pi, e is the natural constant, j is the imaginary unit, and S is the result of the continuous S-transform.

[0080] For the signal r(t) to be measured, its discrete S-transform is:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] Where x is the time sampling point number at a certain time interval, y is the frequency sampling point number at a certain frequency interval, T is the sampling period, N is the number of sampling points, R(k) is the discrete Fourier transform of the time series r(t), k is the frequency domain sampling point of the discrete Fourier transform, m is the intermediate variable in the calculation process, π is pi, e is the natural constant, j is the imaginary unit, and S is the result of the discrete S-transform.

[0084] In a preferred embodiment of the circuit breaker contact erosion assessment method based on multi-dimensional information fusion, the feature fusion algorithm includes ANN algorithm, SVM algorithm, KNN algorithm, RVM algorithm, deep learning neural network algorithm, and Bayesian network algorithm.

[0085] In a preferred embodiment of the circuit breaker contact erosion assessment method based on multi-dimensional information fusion, the feature vector of the training samples in the RVM algorithm is: The target vector is The classification function model of RVM is:

[0086]

[0087] In the formula, x is the input training sample set, x i Let be the i-th training sample; n be the number of samples; ω be the weight vector, ω = [ω0, ω1, ..., ω2]. n ] T ω i Let ω be the i-th component of ω; ω0 be the initial weights; and y be the classifier output value; K(x, x) i Let ω be the kernel function. Introducing the S-function into the classification model, and assuming P(t|ω) follows a Bernoulli distribution, the likelihood estimate is:

[0088]

[0089] Where P(t|ω) is the probability function of the Bernoulli distribution, and σ(y) is the probability distribution function of the S-function. Within the Bayesian framework, weights are obtained through the maximum likelihood method, using a Gaussian prior distribution. Constraint parameters were defined for each weight to achieve a smooth model.

[0090]

[0091] In the formula, η=[η0, η1,..., η n ] T For each weight, a sparse probabilistic model is generated by introducing a hyperparameter in n+1 dimensions.

[0092] In one embodiment, the method includes,

[0093] Step S100: Collect information from various dimensions during the circuit breaker's operation;

[0094] Step S200: Preprocess the information in each dimension, align and transform the data;

[0095] Step S300: Data feature extraction and feature value calibration;

[0096] Step S400: Integrate feature parameters and deploy feature algorithms.

[0097] Furthermore, step S200 includes:

[0098] Step S201: Perform time-stamp alignment, sampling rate normalization, and signal strength normalization on each data item;

[0099] Step S202: Perform digital filtering on the vibration signal and use time-frequency domain transformation to convert the time-domain signal to the time-frequency domain.

[0100] Furthermore, step S300 includes:

[0101] Step S301: Extract the break signal to obtain the contact point of the circuit breaker arc contact and the corresponding spindle angular displacement;

[0102] Step S302: Extract the dynamic loop resistance to obtain the main shaft angular displacement corresponding to the contact point of the circuit breaker main contact;

[0103] Step S303: Convert the principal axis angular displacement of the key node to the time domain and label and integrate it on other signals.

[0104] Furthermore, step S400 includes:

[0105] Step S401: Design features and calculate feature parameters;

[0106] Step S402: Using known features and feature parameters, select a diagnostic algorithm to diagnose the measured data.

[0107] In a specific implementation of step S100, multiple data points need to be acquired, including: vibration signals, angular displacement signals, opening and closing coil current signals, circuit break signals, and circuit dynamic resistance signals. The acquisition device in this invention has multi-channel acquisition capabilities, and its hardware structure is as follows: Figure 2As shown in the diagram, the device consists of a multi-dimensional information acquisition unit and an evaluation algorithm deployment platform. The multi-dimensional information acquisition unit can acquire current signals, vibration signals, and angular displacement signals, and includes an analog-to-digital converter and a digital isolator. Sampling control is performed by a microcontroller, and data transmission and storage are handled by a communication unit and a storage unit. The evaluation algorithm deployment platform receives the acquired multi-dimensional information, as well as some external data, integrates and summarizes it, extracts data features, compares the obtained feature data with empirical parameters, and obtains the evaluation result. A schematic diagram of the multi-dimensional information acquisition is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, after acquisition and integration, the forms of signals in each dimension are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0108] In a specific implementation of step S200, the specific process of preprocessing and data transformation of information in each dimension is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it specifically includes:

[0109] Step S201: Perform time-stamp alignment, sampling rate normalization, and signal strength normalization on each data item:

[0110] Since multidimensional information may be collected by different acquisition devices, and the sampling timescale and sampling rate may vary, it is first necessary to align the sampling rate and timescale of data from different sources. Sampling rate alignment uses interpolation, performing linear interpolation on low-sampled signals at integer multiples to adapt to high-sampled-rate signals. This aligns the signals from multiple devices at the same time.

[0111] Step S202: Perform digital filtering on the vibration signal and convert the time-domain signal to the time-frequency domain using a time-frequency domain transformation method. In practical applications, the transformation method can include, but is not limited to, S-transform, short-time Fourier transform, wavelet transform, etc. In this embodiment, the S-transform is used as an example for explanation:

[0112] The continuous S-transform of the signal r(t) to be measured is:

[0113]

[0114] In the formula, t is the signal sampling time, f is the specific frequency of the signal, τ is the translation factor, r(t) is the signal to be measured, π is pi, e is the natural constant, j is the imaginary unit, and S is the result of the continuous S-transform.

[0115] For the signal r(t) to be measured, its discrete S-transform is:

[0116]

[0117]

[0118] Where x is the time sampling point number at a certain time interval, y is the frequency sampling point number at a certain frequency interval, T is the sampling period, N is the number of sampling points, R(k) is the discrete Fourier transform of the time series r(t), k is the frequency domain sampling point of the discrete Fourier transform, m is the intermediate variable in the calculation process, π is pi, e is the natural constant, j is the imaginary unit, and S is the result of the discrete S-transform.

[0119] The time-frequency diagram obtained after the S-transform is as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0120] In a specific implementation of step S300, the process of extracting information features from each dimension is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, it includes:

[0121] Step S301: Extract the break signal to obtain the contact point of the circuit breaker arc contact and the corresponding angular displacement of the main shaft. The break signal is an approximate step signal; the moment of its inflection is taken as the electrical contact moment, and the angular displacement at that moment is obtained.

[0122] Step S302: Extract the dynamic loop resistance to obtain the main shaft angular displacement corresponding to the main contact point of the circuit breaker, and mark the main shaft angular displacement corresponding to the main contact point.

[0123] Step S303: Convert the main shaft angular displacement of the key node to the time domain and mark and integrate it on other signals; convert the angular displacement of the arc contact point and the main contact point to the vibration signal.

[0124] In a specific implementation of step S400, the integration of feature parameters and the specific implementation process of feature algorithm deployment are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, it specifically includes:

[0125] Step S401: Extract time-frequency domain energy features from the vibration signal, convert the original signal into a feature signal, and use the feature signal to reflect the key nodes of the contact, such as... Figure 9 As shown. The specific process of extracting time-frequency domain energy features from vibration signals and converting them into feature signals is as follows:

[0126]

[0127] In the formula, F(t) is the characteristic signal of the vibration signal, and E f (t) represents the energy of a specific frequency band of the vibration signal at time t. This characteristic frequency band is formed by the difference in the high-frequency portion after Fourier transform of the contact segment signal. In this embodiment, the characteristic frequency band is [7kHz, 12kHz]. E total (t) represents the total energy of the vibration signal at time t. Based on the acquired characteristic signal, the characteristic parameters are obtained as follows:

[0128]

[0129] In the formula, F(t) is the characteristic signal of the vibration signal. Let be the energy of the vibration signal at a specific frequency band at time t. This is the feature parameter vector obtained by combining two sets of signals along the time axis.

[0130] Step S402: Based on the feature parameters obtained from the feature signals, various feature fusion algorithms can be selected to evaluate the measured data and obtain the ablation amount of the contact, such as: ANN, SVM, KNN, RVM, deep learning neural networks, Bayesian networks, etc. In this embodiment, the RVM algorithm is used as an example for illustration, but it is not limited to this method in actual applications. The calculation process is implemented on the evaluation algorithm deployment platform. The evaluation algorithm deployment platform mainly consists of a computing unit that can deploy multiple evaluation algorithms and a communication unit that summarizes the feature parameter data. In this embodiment, the EAIDK-610 edge computing platform is used. The EAIDK-610 platform uses RK3399 as the main chip, the CPU uses a quad-core Cortex-A53 + dual-core Cortex-A72, the GPU uses a quad-core image processor Mali-T860, the CPU frequency is 1.8GHz, and the running memory uses dual-channel LPDDR3 (64-bit) 4GB. In actual applications, it is not limited to this device.

[0131] The RVM algorithm is a sparse probabilistic model based on a global Bayesian framework, assuming that the feature vectors of the training samples are... The target vector is The classification function model of RVM is defined as follows:

[0132]

[0133] In the formula, x is the input training sample set, x i Let be the i-th training sample; n be the number of samples; ω be the weight vector, ω = [ω0, ω1, ..., ω2]. n ] T ω i Let ω be the i-th component of ω; ω0 be the initial weights; and y be the classifier output value; K(x, x) i The kernel function is σ. The logistic sigmoid function is introduced into the classification model, assuming that P(t|ω) follows a Bernoulli distribution. The classification problem here does not include the noise variable σ. 2 The likelihood estimate is:

[0134]

[0135] Where P(t|ω) is the probability function of the Bernoulli distribution, σ(y) = 1 / (1+e^(-ω / ω)). -y Let be the probability distribution function of the S-function. Within the Bayesian framework, the weights can be obtained through the maximum likelihood method. To prevent overlearning, RVM uses a Gaussian prior distribution. Constraint parameters were defined for each weight to achieve a smooth model.

[0136]

[0137] In the formula, η=[η0, η1,..., η n ] T For each weight, a sparse probabilistic model is generated by introducing a hyperparameter in n+1 dimensions.

[0138] The learning and prediction process for evaluating circuit breaker measured data using RVM is as follows:

[0139] (1) Initialize the hyperparameter vector η;

[0140] (2) Based on equation (4), establish a Gaussian approximation for the posterior probability to obtain an approximation for the marginal likelihood;

[0141] (3) Maximize the approximate marginal likelihood function and introduce a re-estimation of the hyperparameter vector values;

[0142] (4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) until the hyperparameter vector values ​​converge.

[0143] (5) The data to be predicted is predicted according to equation (3) to obtain the prediction result.

[0144] The results of the contact ablation assessment based on the measured data are shown in Table 1.
