Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of electric power operation and safety, and particularly relates to a partial discharge classification method for power equipment based on multi-channel acoustic signal space-time correlation analysis. BACKGROUND
[0002] When partial discharge occurs in power equipment, it may cause insulation breakdown, aging, and even personal safety accidents. Therefore, timely detection of partial discharge in power equipment is of great significance to the safe operation of power equipment.
[0003] The generation of partial discharge is caused by the rapid heating and cooling of gas cavities or voids in the insulation layer. The acoustic signals generated by this phenomenon can be detected by acoustic sensors, and the location and type can be determined by analysis. Using acoustic signals for partial discharge detection has many advantages, such as non-invasiveness, high sensitivity, high accuracy, good repeatability, and low cost.
[0004] In practice, an acoustic sensor array is usually used to collect partial discharge signals. Specifically, multiple acoustic sensors are arranged at different positions according to certain standards and sampled continuously for a certain period of time. When analyzing these signals, two kinds of correlation should be considered: time correlation and space correlation. The first is time correlation, because acoustic signals are essentially time series, and there should be differences between the measured signals obtained during partial discharge and during no discharge. At the same time, different types of partial discharge also have differences in the process of changing over time. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the correlation of acoustic signals at different sampling times in the time dimension, extract the correlation relationship, and thus detect and analyze the type of partial discharge. In addition, signals from different channels or sensors may also have certain spatial correlation. Acoustic sensors at different positions collect information about the same partial discharge signal from different angles, and their signals can complement and enhance each other.
[0005] In summary, when using an acoustic array to detect partial discharge in power equipment, the time correlation and spatial correlation between multiple acoustic sensors should be fully considered in order to more accurately identify the partial discharge phenomenon and the type of partial discharge in power equipment.

The collected samples are divided into samples with a size of 16*4000, and the samples are divided into four categories of no partial discharge phenomenon, gap discharge, corona discharge and spherical discharge by considering that no partial discharge phenomenon occurs in the early stage of each simulation test. The data distribution of each category is shown in Table 1.

[0035] The specific steps are as follows:
[0036] The model training parameters are set, wherein the learning rate is 0.0001, the RMSprop optimization algorithm is used, and rho is 0.9.
[0037] Step 1: Mining the space correlation of multi-channel sound signals and obtaining the space correlation weight. In this embodiment, a 16-channel sound array is used, and the constructed sample length is 4000, so the input model data is X 16×4000 After 32 one-dimensional convolutional neural networks with a size of 1 and a step of 1, information features are extracted in the spatial dimension to obtain a feature X 16×32 with a size of 16*32; a global average pooling operation is performed in the channel direction (each sound sensor is a channel) to obtain a feature X 16 with a size of 16; and the correlation between channels in X 16 is extracted by two fully connected layers with a size of 16 to obtain the space correlation weight S w .
[0038] Step 2, spatial correlation weighting is performed on the multi-channel sound signal, and a spatial correlation weight S is used w X is weighted to obtain 16×4000
[0039] Step 3, time correlation mining is performed on the multi-channel sound signal subjected to spatial correlation weighting, and a time correlation weight T is obtained After 32 one-dimensional convolutional neural networks with a size of 5 and a step of 5, information feature extraction is performed in the time dimension, and a feature X with a size of 32x800 is obtained 32×800 Global average pooling operation is performed in the filter direction (as can be known from step S31, a total of 32 filters with a size of 5x5 are used), and a feature X with a size of 800 is obtained 800 Two fully connected layers with sizes of 400 and 800 are used to extract the correlation between time periods in X 800 , and a time correlation weight T is obtained w .
[0040] Step 4, time correlation weighting is performed on each channel sound signal, and a time correlation weight T is used w X is weighted to obtain 32×800
[0041] Step 5, further feature extraction is performed on the multi-channel sound signal subjected to spatial and time correlation mining, and the feature is characterized in that two layers of fully connected layers with a size of 1024 are used to extract features from X , and finally, a fully connected layer with a size of 4 and a softmax are used to classify the type of partial discharge of the power equipment.
[0042] In this embodiment, the evaluation indexes for model testing are precision (P), recall (R), and F1 score. In order to verify the necessity of spatial and time correlation extraction of the present application, three types of models considering spatial and time correlation, only time correlation, and only spatial correlation are tested respectively. The comparison results are shown in Tables 2 to 5.

[0049] Table 5 Comparison of three methods
[0050]
[0051] As can be seen from Tables 2 to 5, the best results are obtained when both time and spatial correlation are considered. When spatial correlation is not considered, the precision, recall and F1 score all decrease by 2%. When time correlation is not considered, the precision, recall and F1 decrease by 52%, 27% and 73% respectively. This shows that both time and spatial correlation are important in the classification of partial discharge in power equipment based on multi-channel acoustic signals. However, time correlation is more important because the network performance deteriorates significantly if this is not considered.
