Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sensor optimization arrangement, and in particular to a method for optimizing the arrangement of fiber optic temperature sensors in power equipment based on temperature field analysis. Background Technology
[0002] In power systems, electrical equipment is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the system. Overheating faults are the most frequent type of fault in electrical equipment, and temperature rise is the most direct indicator for detecting these faults. The optimal placement of sensors is critical for the health monitoring, condition assessment, and subsequent maintenance of electrical equipment. Therefore, the optimized placement of temperature sensors in electrical equipment is of great practical significance for intelligent sensing and ensuring the safe and stable operation of power equipment.
[0003] The optimal arrangement of sensors has a crucial impact on the effectiveness of data acquisition. Considering factors such as actual site conditions and economic conditions, only a relatively small number of sensors can be arranged in limited locations in the spatial structure. Therefore, the arrangement of sensors should meet the following two objectives: (1) to reflect the characteristics of the detected information in the spatial structure to the greatest extent; (2) to be sufficiently sensitive to changes in the detected information. In traditional power equipment temperature monitoring experiments, the selection and arrangement of sensors are often judged by operators with long-term accumulated experience. The determination of the optimal number and location lacks reasonable and effective theoretical methods, which inevitably leads to inaccurate modal data measured in the experiment, and cannot better reflect the temperature rise characteristics during the operation of power equipment. At present, there are many methods for optimizing sensor arrangement, mainly including: (1) Modal kinetic energy method. Calculate the contribution of each candidate position of the sensor to the modal, and arrange the sensor in the position with larger modal kinetic energy and modal strain energy; (2) Classical optimization algorithm. Transform the sensor optimization arrangement problem into a typical constrained or unconstrained optimization problem through some algorithms; (3) Information theory method. Use the recognition error to construct a performance function to maximize the benefits of sensor arrangement; (4) Heuristic algorithm. The problem of sensor optimization can be likened to the biological evolution process in nature, where optimization is achieved through processes similar to genetic evolution, such as evolution, selection, crossover, and mutation. However, most existing methods for sensor optimization calculate the optimal sensor positions using two-dimensional theoretical models, without considering the three-dimensional structural characteristics of the sensor objects themselves or the influence of the field distribution. This inevitably leads to problems such as inaccurate monitoring data and low sensor placement benefits. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an optimized arrangement method for fiber optic temperature sensors in power equipment based on temperature field analysis, thereby improving the sensing efficiency of temperature sensors in power equipment.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A method for optimizing the placement of fiber optic temperature sensors in power equipment based on temperature field analysis includes the following steps:
