Abstract

This invention discloses a generator partial discharge (PD) pattern recognition method based on parallel CNN-BiLSTM. In a laboratory environment, typical PD defect data of generator stator bars with different voltage levels and defect types are collected. PD phase maps with different denoising coefficients are plotted, voltage signals at different phases are acquired, and ten parameters—PD phase map features and PD waveform features—are extracted and used as input parameters for training a ten-channel parallel CNN neural network. These parameters are then convolutionally pooled through the parallel CNN network, and fed into a BiLSTM neural network connected to the CNN feature output layer. The BiLSTM neural network is trained to perform pattern recognition of typical generator PD defects. The ten-channel BiLSTM outputs pattern recognition results based on different parameters, which are compared with field samples to determine the weight of each output channel, thus completing the discrimination of generator stator bar defect types. This method improves the accuracy of pattern recognition by training a multi-channel parallel network based on multiple input methods.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a generator partial discharge pattern recognition method based on parallel CNN-BiLSTM, belonging to the field of generator partial discharge online monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial piece of equipment in the power system, the safe and stable operation of generators directly ensures the reliability of the power grid. When a generator malfunctions, it not only affects the generator itself but also causes losses to industrial production and people's lives. Partial discharge (PD), a type of generator fault, can even cause fires and result in significant economic losses in severe cases. Therefore, online monitoring of the generator stator bars and real-time identification of PD types can promptly detect problems and propose corresponding modification solutions, thus ensuring the stable operation of the generator to a certain extent. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a generator partial discharge pattern recognition method based on parallel CNN-BiLSTM to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved by the following technical measures:

[0005] A generator partial discharge pattern recognition method based on parallel CNN-BiLSTM includes the following steps:

[0006] S1: Build a partial discharge test platform for typical defects of generator stator bars, conduct partial discharge tests under different generator stator bar defect types and different pressure levels, collect various signals during the partial discharge process of generator stator bars, and construct ten different types of input parameters for training a ten-channel parallel CNN neural network;

[0007] S2: Ten input parameters are fed into the input layer of a ten-channel parallel CNN neural network. First, the input parameters are extracted by the CNN neural network of each parallel channel. Then, the features are fed into the BiLSTM neural network through the output layer. The BiLSTM neural network is trained and predicted to identify the typical partial discharge type of generator stator bars.

[0008] S3: Each channel of the BiLSTM neural network outputs the pattern recognition results of the typical partial discharge type of the generator stator bar. Combining the partial discharge signals of different defect types collected on site and the accuracy of the discrimination results of each channel, the weight of the discrimination results of each channel is determined, and the pattern recognition result after weighting of ten channels is calculated, which is the typical partial discharge type of the generator stator bar.

[0009] Furthermore, the specific steps of S1 include:

[0010] S1.1: Construct a partial discharge test platform for typical defects in generator stator bars under laboratory conditions, and conduct partial discharge tests on generator stator bars under different defect types and different voltage levels.

[0011] S1.2: During the process of inducing partial discharge under pressure, partial discharge signals are collected by high voltage coupling capacitor, A / B phase voltage signals are collected by two PT sensors respectively, and ground current signals are collected by CT sensor. The partial discharge signals, voltage and current signal samples of generator stator bar power supply and spark discharge defects, internal discharge defects, end discharge curves and slot discharge defects are obtained respectively.

[0012] S1.3: Based on the collected partial discharge signal samples, in order to retain different proportions of partial discharge signal samples, normalized phase maps of partial discharge with denoising coefficients n1=0, n2=0.25, n3=0.5, and n4=0.75 are plotted respectively.

[0013] S1.4: Based on the partial discharge phase maps plotted with denoising coefficients n1=0, n2=0.25, n3=0.5, and n4=0.75, the discharge density distribution and maximum discharge quantity features of the corresponding phase maps are extracted respectively; based on the collected partial discharge signal samples, the skewness, kurtosis, skewness, peak value, mean value, and variance parameters of the partial discharge waveform are extracted respectively.

[0014] S1.5: The normalized phase spectrum of partial discharge with denoising coefficients n1=0, n2=0.25, n3=0.5, and n4=0.75 is used as four input parameters of the CNN neural network; the A / B two-phase voltage signal acquired by the PT sensor is used as two input parameters of the CNN neural network; the partial discharge signal acquired by the high-voltage coupling capacitor is used as one input parameter of the CNN neural network; the grounding current signal acquired by the CT sensor is used as one input parameter of the CNN neural network; the extracted phase spectrum feature parameter is used as one input parameter of the CNN neural network; and the extracted partial discharge waveform feature parameter is used as one input parameter of the CNN neural network, for a total of ten feature parameters, which are used as input parameters of the ten-channel parallel CNN neural network.

[0015] Furthermore, the specific steps of S2 include:

[0016] S2.1: The ten different feature parameters extracted in S1.5 are fed into the input layer of a ten-channel parallel CNN neural network. The feature parameters are then subjected to convolution and pooling operations through each channel of the CNN neural network, and the feature parameters are then extracted and reconstructed.

[0017] S2.2: The reconstructed feature parameters are fed into the input gates of the forward LSTM and the backward LSTM of the BiLSTM, respectively. The reconstructed feature parameters are then processed by the forget gate to determine the information retention state. The input retained by the forget gate is combined with the input of the input gate to determine the state of the current output information, namely the generator stator bar partial discharge pattern recognition result. The pattern recognition result is output through the output gate. The BiLSTM output gate outputs the generator stator bar partial discharge pattern recognition result of each channel of the ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network.

[0018] Furthermore, the specific steps of S3 include:

[0019] S3.1: First, assign the same result weight to the pattern recognition result of each channel of the ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network output by the BiLSTM output gate, i.e., W1=W2=…=W10=0.1;

[0020] S3.2: Based on the steps described in S2.2, the mode discrimination results of each channel of the ten-channel parallel CNN neural network are compared with the actual partial discharge type of the generator stator bar to obtain the accuracy of the judgment results of each channel of the ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network.

[0021] S3.3: Collect different types of partial discharge signals of generator stator bars in industrial sites, perform pattern recognition of discharge types based on the steps described in S1 and S2, compare with the actual situation, and obtain the accuracy of the judgment results of each channel of the ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network.

[0022] S3.4: Based on the accuracy of the discharge type judgment results of each channel of the ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network under the laboratory conditions of S2.2 and the accuracy of the discharge type judgment results of each channel of the ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network under the industrial field conditions of S3.3, the weight of each channel output result of the ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network is determined by combining the two. This weight is the final weight value of each channel result of the ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network.

[0023] S3.5: Based on the weight values ​​of each channel of the final ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network obtained from S3.4, calculate the weighted result of pattern recognition, which is the final pattern recognition result of the partial discharge defect type of the generator stator bar.

[0024] This invention develops a generator partial discharge pattern recognition method based on parallel CNN. It creatively combines typical defect partial discharge samples of laboratory generator stator bars to construct multi-type, multi-dimensional partial discharge feature parameters. These parameters are then processed through a ten-channel parallel CNN-BiLSTM neural network to obtain pattern recognition results. This reduces the bias of single neural network pattern recognition, improves the accuracy of pattern recognition, and shortens the pattern recognition time. Furthermore, by incorporating industrial field data for weight adjustment, this method can be effectively applied to the identification of generator partial discharge types in actual industrial settings, demonstrating high economic value and social benefits.
