Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of early warning diagnosis of generator sets, and more specifically, to an early warning diagnosis method for generator sets based on association rule mining. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of computer technology, it is now common to build early warning systems for power plant equipment to provide early warnings of equipment anomalies. Various data-driven methods are used to construct early warning models, such as similarity principle algorithms and neural network algorithms.

Furthermore, fault diagnosis techniques for power plant equipment are becoming increasingly diverse, with both mechanistic and mathematical models offering their own advantages. However, in the current technological landscape, early warning and diagnostic technologies are relatively isolated, with few integrated systems. Warning results require manual analysis, which is labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0055] Example 2:
[0056] As an example, the specific operation steps and the effectiveness of the verification method are illustrated using a real-world case study of a 1A coal mill at a thermal power plant. In this example, unstructured data was collected from January 2019 to December 2021. Feature parameter values were collected from 00:00 on December 1, 2020, to 24:00 on December 31, 2021, with a sampling interval of 10 minutes.
[0057] The specific execution process of the generator set early warning diagnosis method based on association rule mining is as follows:
[0058] Step 1: Based on unstructured data such as operating procedures, defect logs, alarm logs, and processing records, a fault knowledge base for the 1A coal mill is constructed. The fault knowledge base contains the characteristic parameters, fault modes, and fault handling methods of the equipment for the 1A coal mill, including 69 characteristic parameters, 19 fault modes, and 168 handling methods.
