[0002] Currently, high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage transformers are generally located within large substations.

Therefore, various remote-field monitoring solutions are required to monitor the transformer's operational status remotely.

[0003] Traditional transformer remote monitoring solutions rely on dispatching experienced workers to inspect and listen for sounds to diagnose transformer faults. However, in recent years, with the rapid increase in the number of transformers, the number of experienced workers has not kept pace. Therefore, ensuring real-time detection of transformers for obvious vibrations, noise changes, and discharge sounds has become a weakness in transformer inspection and maintenance.

[0024] Currently, high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage transformers are generally located within large substations. Due to the high-voltage nature of these transformers, surface-mount sensors are unusable. Therefore, various remote-field monitoring solutions are required to monitor the transformer's operational status remotely.

[0025] Traditional transformer remote monitoring solutions rely on dispatching experienced workers to inspect and listen for sounds to diagnose transformer faults. However, in recent years, with the rapid increase in the number of transformers, the number of experienced workers has not kept pace.

[0026] Based on this, the following embodiments of this application propose a transformer operation monitoring method, device, and electronic device. By processing each audio signal from multiple audio signals collected by a sound pickup device during the transformer operation process, the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected are obtained, and the abnormal noise of the sound signal is initially identified. In response to the abnormal noise of the sound signal to be detected, it is determined that the transformer has a fault, and the fault type of the transformer is determined by using the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected. By processing each audio signal from multiple audio signals collected by a sound pickup device during the transformer operation process, the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected are obtained, so as to determine whether the transformer has a fault, thus achieving the purpose of determining whether the transformer has a fault without manual inspection.

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] The transformer operation monitoring method proposed in this embodiment is implemented by monitoring equipment installed near the transformer.

[0030] In one embodiment, the monitoring device can be fixed to the bottom of the transformer without contacting the transformer.

[0031] The monitoring device includes: a processor, a wireless communication module, and multiple microphones; the processor is connected to the wireless communication module and the multiple microphones respectively.

[0032] Multiple microphones are positioned towards the transformer to collect the sounds emitted during its operation, thus acquiring multiple audio signals. Each microphone can collect one audio signal from the sound.

[0033] Components of a transformer that can produce sound during operation include, but are not limited to: the oil tank, windings, core, cooling fan, and bearings of the cooling fan.

[0034] The monitoring equipment interacts with the cloud server via a wireless communication module.

[0035] Sound pickup devices, including but not limited to: microphones, recorders, voice recorders, and microphones.

[0036] See Figure 1 The flowchart shown illustrates a transformer operation monitoring method. This embodiment proposes a transformer operation monitoring method, including the following specific steps:

[0037] Step 100: Obtain the sound emitted during the operation of the transformer, the sound including: multiple audio signals collected by the sound pickup device.

[0038] In step 100 above, after the monitoring device acquires the multiple audio signals collected by the sound pickup device, it first performs analog-to-digital conversion and noise reduction on the multiple audio signals, and then sends the preprocessed multiple audio signals to the processor for further processing.

[0039] The monitoring equipment can perform analog-to-digital conversion and noise reduction on multiple audio signals using existing technologies, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] Step 102: Process each audio signal in the multi-channel audio signal to obtain the sound intensity feature value of each audio signal and the feature quantity of the sound signal to be detected; wherein, the sound intensity feature value is used to characterize the time domain intensity of each audio signal.

[0041] In step 102 above, in order to obtain the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal, the processor can perform the following steps:

[0042] Multiple variance operations are performed on each audio signal to obtain multiple variance operation results for each audio signal. Then, the multiple variance operation results for each audio signal are weighted and processed to obtain the sound intensity characteristic value of each audio signal.

[0043] In one embodiment of the above steps, the variance calculations of each audio signal can be performed four times, wherein the first positive variance calculation is performed with an interval of 0, the second positive variance calculation is performed with an interval of 1, the third negative variance calculation is performed with an interval of 1, and the fourth positive variance calculation is performed with an interval of 2.

[0044] Forward variance calculation refers to the process by which the processor performs variance processing on each audio signal in the order in which they are input into the processor.

[0045] Inverse variance calculation refers to the process by which the processor performs variance processing on each audio signal in reverse order of the order in which they were input into the processor.

[0046] Interval refers to the number of binary numbers between each audio signal; an interval of 0 means that the number of binary numbers between each audio signal is 0; an interval of n means that the number of binary numbers between each audio signal is n, where n is a natural number.

[0047] In the process of weighted calculation of multiple variance results of each audio signal, in order to ensure the accuracy of the transformer fault type determined by the transformer operation monitoring method proposed in this embodiment, it is necessary to assign weights to the four variance calculation results of each audio signal. The weighting method is as follows:

[0048] The weight of the first positive variance calculation result of each audio signal is much greater than the weight of the subsequent three variance calculation results of each audio signal, and the weight of the second positive variance calculation result of each audio signal should be greater than the weight of the third negative variance calculation result of each audio signal and the weight of the fourth positive variance calculation result of each audio signal.

[0049] For example, the weight of the first positive variance calculation result of each audio signal can be set to 0.8; the weight of the second positive variance calculation result of each audio signal can be set to 0.1; and the weight of the third negative variance calculation result of each audio signal and the weight of the fourth positive variance calculation result of each audio signal can be set to 0.05 respectively.

[0050] The specific process of averaging and weighting the variance calculation results of each audio signal to obtain the sound intensity characteristic value of each audio signal can be carried out using existing average weighting calculation techniques, which will not be elaborated here.

[0051] In order to obtain the feature quantity of the sound signal to be detected, the processor can also perform the following steps (1) to (5): (1) Process the multiple audio signals using a non-average algorithm to obtain the sound signal to be detected;

[0052] (2) Filter the sound signal to be detected to obtain the filtered sound signal;

[0053] (3) Perform a 90-degree phase shift on the filtered signal to obtain the phase shift signal of the sound signal;

[0054] (4) Perform mapping transformation on the phase-shifted signal to obtain the mapping result of the sound signal, and perform Fourier transformation on the mapping result to obtain the spectrum signal of the sound signal;

[0055] (5) Process the spectral signal of the sound signal to obtain the characteristic quantity of the sound signal.

[0056] In step (1) above, in order to process the multiple audio signals using a non-average algorithm to obtain the sound signal to be detected, the following steps (11) to (12) can be performed:

[0057] (11) Perform mapping conversion on the multiple audio signals to obtain multiple mapped signals;

[0058] (12) Perform weighted operations on the multi-path mapped signals to obtain the sound signal to be detected.

[0059] In step (11) above, in order to enhance the weak signals in the multi-channel audio signals and facilitate the subsequent extraction of the weak signals in the multi-channel audio signals, a logarithmic curve 0.23*ln(1+71) is selected. x ) is used as a mapping function.

[0060] The specific process of mapping and converting multiple audio signals to obtain multiple mapped signals can be carried out using existing techniques for mapping and converting multiple audio signals, which will not be elaborated here.

[0061] In step (12) above, the multi-path mapping signals are weighted to obtain the sound signal to be detected. The existing weighting operation process can be used, which will not be elaborated here.

[0062] In one embodiment, in order to ensure the accuracy of the transformer fault type determined by the transformer operation monitoring method proposed in this embodiment, during the weighted operation of the multi-path mapping signals, a weight of 0.8 is assigned to the mapping signal with the largest frequency amplitude among the multi-path mapping signals, and the remaining weight of 0.2 is evenly assigned to the other mapping signals among the multi-path mapping signals excluding the mapping signal with the largest frequency amplitude.

[0063] In step (2) above, in one embodiment, the filtering range for filtering the audio signal is 50 Hz to 20000 Hz in order to filter out noise in the audio signal.

[0064] The processor uses a filtering algorithm to filter the audio signal, resulting in a filtered audio signal.

[0065] The processor uses a filtering algorithm to filter the audio signal. The specific process of obtaining the filtered audio signal can be carried out using existing techniques for filtering audio signals, which will not be elaborated here.

[0066] In step (3) above, in order to extract the frequency components of the signal more effectively, the filtered signal is subjected to a 90-degree phase shift to obtain the phase shift signal of the sound signal.

[0067] In step (4) above, in the process of mapping and converting the phase-shifted signal to obtain the mapping result of the sound signal, in order to perform nonlinear filtering on the phase-shifted signal, the sign function is selected as the mapping function.

[0068] The specific process of mapping and converting phase-shifted signals to obtain the mapped sound signals can be carried out using existing mapping and conversion techniques, which will not be elaborated here.

[0069] In step (5) above, the characteristic quantities of the sound signal include: the specific frequency of the sound signal to be detected, the peak value of the reference frequency band of the sound signal to be detected, the peak-to-frequency ratio of the sound signal to be detected, and the number of specific frequencies of the sound signal to be detected.

[0070] To obtain the feature quantities of the sound signal to be detected, the following steps (51) to (54) can be performed:

[0071] (51) Extract the reference frequency of the transformer operation from the spectrum signal of the sound signal to be detected, perform a frequency multiplication operation on the reference frequency, and determine at least two specific frequencies;

[0072] (52) Based on the obtained reference frequency, determine the amplitude of the reference frequency, and determine the amplitude of the reference frequency as the reference frequency peak value of the sound signal to be detected;

[0073] (53) Determine the amplitude of each specific frequency among the at least two specific frequencies, and calculate the peak-to-peak ratio of each specific frequency by dividing the amplitude of each specific frequency by the amplitude of the reference frequency, and determine the calculated peak-to-peak ratio of each specific frequency as the peak-to-peak ratio of the sound signal to be detected.

[0074] (54) Among the at least two specific frequencies, the specific frequency with a peak-to-peak ratio greater than the peak-to-peak ratio threshold is determined as the specific frequency of the sound signal to be detected, and the number of specific frequencies of the sound signal to be detected is counted.

[0075] In step (51) above, in one embodiment, those skilled in the art of transformers will know that the reference frequency of the transformer is twice the frequency of the national power grid, which is 100 Hz.

[0076] Depending on the type of fault, at least two specific frequencies are required, which can be: 300 Hz, 500 Hz, and 700 Hz. Alternatively, they can be: 200 Hz, 300 Hz, 400 Hz, and 500 Hz.

[0077] Of course, in addition to at least two specific frequencies, other reference frequencies can be selected as multipliers based on other fault types, which will not be elaborated here.

[0078] In step (52) above, the specific process of determining the amplitude of the reference frequency based on the obtained reference frequency can be carried out by existing techniques for amplitude extraction from signal frequency, which will not be elaborated here.

[0079] In step (53) above, the specific process of determining the amplitude of each of the at least two specific frequencies can be carried out using existing techniques for amplitude extraction from signal frequencies, which will not be elaborated here.

[0080] In step (54) above, the peak-to-frequency ratio threshold is pre-cached in the processor.

[0081] Optionally, after obtaining the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantities of the sound signal to be detected through step 102 above, the singularity detection method commonly used in the field of signal processing can also be used to obtain the singularity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal. In the transformer operation monitoring method proposed in this embodiment, the singularity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal can also be obtained through the following steps:

[0082] Singularity detection is performed on each of the multiple audio signals included in the sound to obtain the singularity feature value of each audio signal.

[0083] In the above steps, the processor performs singularity detection on each audio signal and obtains the singularity feature value of each audio signal. The specific process can be carried out using existing techniques for obtaining the singularity feature value of each audio signal, which will not be elaborated here.

[0084] Of course, the process of obtaining the singularity feature values ​​of each audio signal can also be performed before step 102 to obtain the sound intensity feature values ​​of each audio signal and the feature quantity of the sound signal to be detected. In this embodiment, the order of obtaining the singularity feature values ​​of each audio signal and step 102 to obtain the sound intensity feature values ​​of each audio signal and the feature quantity of the sound signal to be detected is not limited.

[0085] After obtaining the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantities of the sound signal to be detected through the above step 102, the following step 104 can be performed to determine the fault type of the transformer.

[0086] Step 104: In response to confirming that the sound signal is an abnormal noise, determine that the transformer has a fault, and determine the fault type of the transformer by using the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected.

[0087] Specifically, in order to determine that a transformer has failed, step 104 above can be performed by following steps (1) to (2):

[0088] (1) Compare the statistically obtained number of specific frequencies with the numerical value of the number threshold to obtain the comparison result;

[0089] (2) When the comparison result indicates that the number of the specific frequency is greater than the number threshold, it is determined that the sound signal is abnormal and that the transformer has failed.

[0090] In step (1) above, the quantity threshold is pre-cached in the processor.

[0091] After confirming that the transformer has failed, step 104 above can also perform the following steps (3) to (4):

[0092] (3) Input the sound intensity feature value and singularity feature value of each audio signal and the feature quantity of the sound signal into the pre-trained transformer fault classification model. Process the sound intensity feature value and singularity feature value of each audio signal and the feature quantity of the sound signal through the transformer fault classification model to determine the fault type of the transformer.

[0093] (4) When the comparison result indicates that the number of the specific frequency is less than or equal to the number threshold, the result is that the sound signal is a normal sound and the process ends.

[0094] In step (3) above, the pre-trained transformer fault classification model runs in the processor.

[0095] The transformer fault classification model is obtained by inputting known transformer fault types and matching audio signals into a deep learning computational model and training the deep learning computational model.

[0096] The specific process of inputting the transformer fault type and the matched audio signal into an existing deep learning computing model and training the deep learning computing model to obtain a transformer fault classification model can be carried out using existing techniques for training deep learning computing models, which will not be elaborated here.

[0097] The specific process of determining the fault type of the transformer by processing the sound intensity feature value, singularity feature value, and sound signal feature quantity of each audio signal through the transformer fault classification model can be achieved by using existing deep learning computing models to classify the fault types of the transformer, which will not be elaborated here.

[0098] Transformer fault types include, but are not limited to: core vibration fault, winding vibration fault, tank wall vibration fault, and bearing fault.

[0099] After determining the transformer's fault type, the processor uses a wireless communication module to send the determined fault type and the acquired multi-channel audio signals back to the cloud server.

[0100] In summary, this embodiment proposes a transformer operation monitoring method. By processing the audio signals from multiple audio signals collected by a sound pickup device during the transformer's operation, the method obtains the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected, thus initially identifying whether the sound signal is an abnormal noise. In response to confirming that the sound signal to be detected is an abnormal noise, the method determines that the transformer has a fault. Furthermore, by using the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected, the method determines the type of transformer fault. Compared with related technologies that rely on experienced workers to inspect and listen for sounds to determine transformer faults, this method, by processing the audio signals from multiple audio signals collected by the sound pickup device during the transformer's operation and obtaining the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected, can determine whether the transformer has a fault, achieving the goal of determining whether a transformer has a fault without manual inspection. Moreover, it allows for continuous detection of faults generated during transformer operation, greatly improving the efficiency of transformer fault detection.

[0101] Example 2

[0102] This embodiment proposes a transformer operation monitoring device for executing the transformer operation monitoring method proposed in Embodiment 1.

[0103] See Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of a transformer operation monitoring device. This embodiment proposes a transformer operation monitoring device, comprising:

[0106] The determination module 204 is used to determine that the transformer has a fault in response to the abnormal noise of the sound signal to be detected, and to determine the fault type of the transformer by using the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected.

[0107] Specifically, the processing module is used to process each audio signal in the multi-channel audio signals to obtain the sound intensity characteristic value of each audio signal, including:

[0108] Multiple variance operations are performed on each audio signal to obtain multiple variance operation results for each audio signal. Then, the multiple variance operation results for each audio signal are weighted and processed to obtain the sound intensity characteristic value of each audio signal.

[0109] In summary, this embodiment proposes a transformer operation monitoring device. By processing the audio signals from multiple audio signals collected by a sound pickup device during the transformer's operation, the device obtains the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected, thus initially identifying whether the sound signal is an abnormal noise. In response to the detection of an abnormal noise, the device determines that the transformer has a fault. Furthermore, it uses the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to determine the type of transformer fault. Compared to related technologies that rely on experienced workers to inspect and listen for sounds to determine transformer faults, this device, by processing the audio signals from multiple audio signals collected by the sound pickup device during the transformer's operation and obtaining the sound intensity characteristic values ​​of each audio signal and the characteristic quantity of the sound signal to be detected, can determine whether the transformer has a fault. This achieves the goal of determining whether a transformer has a fault without manual inspection. Moreover, it can continuously detect faults generated during transformer operation, greatly improving the efficiency of transformer fault detection.
