Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent operation and maintenance of industrial equipment, specifically to a method for estimating the remaining service life of industrial equipment through online monitoring of faults. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial equipment operates in harsh environments, with unpredictable operating conditions and complex failure mechanisms. Online monitoring points can acquire big data on industrial equipment operation, and threshold-based methods are often used for early warning and alarms based on the monitoring data, providing decision support for unit shutdown and maintenance.

[0003] Online operational data is highly complex, making it difficult to obtain health status information and assess remaining service life through online monitoring data. This is because most online monitoring data for industrial equipment indicates a normal state, with very little fault data. Therefore, predicting health status and remaining service life based on monitoring data under normal conditions has always been a challenge in the field of intelligent operation and maintenance of industrial equipment.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method for estimating the remaining service life of equipment based on online monitoring faults. This method needs to consider the relationship between normal online monitoring data, health status, and remaining service life of industrial equipment, establish a connection between online monitoring data, fault failure data, and remaining service life, and be able to estimate the remaining service life based on normal online monitoring data of the unit. This will provide accurate decision support for condition-based maintenance of the unit and avoid serious economic losses caused by accidents. Summary of the Invention

Using the horizontal axis to represent K different threshold variations and the vertical axis to represent N different time points, a threshold exceedance data matrix is ​​established for this online monitoring under different threshold variations:

[0019]

[0020] In the formula: H is the data matrix exceeding the threshold; h ij This indicates whether the j-th time series data is greater than the i-th change threshold; if it is, it is 1, otherwise it is 0.
