Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical equipment fault detection, and in particular to a fault diagnosis method, system, and readable computer storage medium for circuit breakers. Background Technology

[0002] High-voltage circuit breakers are the most important operational safety control devices in power systems, and the losses caused by their failures far exceed the value of the circuit breaker itself. The opening and closing operation of a circuit breaker involves the conversion and transmission of electrical signals into mechanical actions, making it susceptible to both electrical and mechanical faults.

[0003] With the development of fault diagnosis technology, circuit breaker fault diagnosis methods are mainly based on research into opening and closing coil current signals, mechanical vibration signals, and sound signals. The vibration signal accompanying the circuit breaker operation is an excellent carrier of energy changes in the time and frequency domains, exhibiting low attenuation and easy capture. Using appropriate signal processing methods, state-related information of some key components in the high-voltage circuit breaker operating mechanism can be extracted from it. Acquiring the sound signal generated by the vibration is a non-contact measurement method, convenient to install, and has a wider measurement bandwidth compared to vibration signals. The operation of the high-voltage circuit breaker operating mechanism originates from the normal current signal appearing in the opening and closing coils. The coil current signal can reflect the state information of the secondary circuit, coil resistance, core mechanism, and control power supply, and can directly reflect electrical faults in the circuit breaker.

[0004] Currently, most online monitoring and fault identification technologies for the mechanical characteristics of high-voltage circuit breakers are based on the monitoring results of a single characteristic quantity. They rarely use multiple signals or different characteristic quantities of a single signal for comparison. The status information provided by a single type of signal is limited and lacks comprehensiveness. The number of faults that can be reflected and the accuracy of the fault response are limited, which may lead to large errors. Therefore, it is impossible to comprehensively evaluate the status of high-voltage circuit breakers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a circuit breaker fault diagnosis method, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0006] (1) Collect vibration, sound and current signals of the circuit breaker under normal conditions, and calculate the power spectrum of the vibration, sound and current signals.

[0007] (2) The power spectra of vibration signal, sound signal and current signal are used as input values ​​and input into sparse autoencoder network. The output values ​​of sparse autoencoder network are used as feature vectors of vibration signal, sound signal and current signal.

[0008] (3) The feature vectors of the vibration signal and the sound signal are fused together, and the fused feature vector is fused with the feature vector of the current signal to obtain the fused feature vector;

[0009] (4) Make the circuit breaker operate under different fault conditions, collect the corresponding vibration signal, sound signal and current signal, and calculate the power spectrum of the vibration signal, sound signal and current signal to construct the fusion feature vector under different fault conditions.

[0010] (5) Establish a circuit breaker operating status database based on the fused feature vectors obtained under normal and fault operating conditions;

[0011] (6) Collect vibration, sound and current signals of the circuit breaker under test during operation, and calculate the power spectrum of the vibration, sound and current signals to obtain the fused feature vector;

[0012] (7) Compare the distance between the fusion feature vector obtained in step (6) and the fusion feature vector in the circuit breaker operation status database. The operation status corresponding to the fusion feature vector with the shortest distance to the circuit breaker operation status database is the current operation status of the circuit breaker.

[0013] Furthermore, the method for calculating the power spectrum in step (1) is as follows:

[0014]

[0015] Where p(ω) is the power spectrum of the vibration signal, sound signal, and current signal, X T (jω) is the Fourier transform function for vibration signal, sound signal and current signal.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (2), the sparse autoencoder network has 3 hidden layers, each with a learning rate of 0.1, 600 iterations, and a weight decay parameter of 3 × 10⁻⁶. -5 The sparsity parameter is set to 0.1, the weight of the sparsity penalty term is 3, and the weight matrix and bias term of the autoencoder are randomly generated.

[0017] Furthermore, in step (3), the method for fusing the feature vectors of the vibration signal and the sound signal is parallel fusion, the algorithm used is the MKCCA algorithm, and the kernel function is the Gaussian radial basis function.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (3), the method of fusing the feature vector after fusing the feature vectors of the vibration signal and the sound signal with the feature vector of the current signal is to input the feature vector after fusing the feature vector of the current signal with the feature vectors of the vibration signal and the sound signal into the neural network, and the output value obtained is the fused feature vector.

[0019] Furthermore, in step (7), the fused feature vector is compared with the fused feature vector in the circuit breaker operation status database. The distance used is the Minkowski distance, and the p value in the Minkowski distance is 7.

[0020] In addition, the present invention also provides a circuit breaker operation status diagnostic system, including a measurement module and a data processing unit, characterized in that the data processing unit further includes:

[0021] The power spectrum calculation module is used to calculate the power spectrum of vibration signals, sound signals, and current signals.

[0022] Sparse autoencoder network is used to extract feature vectors of the power spectrum of vibration signals, sound signals, and current signals;

[0023] The first fusion module is used to fuse the feature vectors of vibration signals and sound signals;

[0024] The second fusion module is used to fuse the feature vector obtained by fusing the vibration signal and the sound signal with the feature vector of the current signal to obtain a fused feature vector;

[0025] A circuit breaker operating status database is used to store the fused feature vectors of circuit breakers under different operating states;

[0026] The distance calculation module is used to calculate the distance between different fused feature vectors;

[0027] The data comparison module is used to compare the distance values ​​between different fused feature vectors.

[0028] Furthermore, the measurement module includes a circuit breaker, a vibration sensor, a sound sensor, and a current sensor. The vibration sensor is used to collect the vibration signal of the circuit breaker, the sound sensor is used to collect the sound signal of the circuit breaker, and the current sensor is used to collect the current signal of the circuit breaker.

[0029] In addition, the present invention also provides a readable computer storage medium storing a computer program, characterized in that the program, when executed by a processor, implements the circuit breaker operation status diagnosis method described above.

[0030] The circuit breaker fault diagnosis method provided by this invention is based on the joint analysis of sound, vibration, and current signals. Vibration, sound, and current signals all contain important information about the circuit breaker operation process. By combining information obtained from different sensors, the method can more accurately reflect the signal source's condition, effectively solving the problem that a single signal cannot fully distinguish the different states of the circuit breaker, thus improving the reliability of fault diagnosis. Calculating the power spectrum of the circuit breaker's sound, vibration, and current signals preserves the amplitude information of the spectrum. After training with a sparse autoencoder network, the most representative feature values ​​of the signal can be extracted. By fusing the feature vectors of the original signals using a fusion neural network, optimal feature fusion can be achieved, making the feature values ​​more representative, improving the accuracy of judgment, increasing the fault tolerance rate of circuit breaker fault diagnosis, and meeting the accuracy and speed requirements of on-site fault diagnosis of operating circuit breakers, enabling rapid and accurate identification.
