Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of abnormal detection of expansion tanks, and particularly relates to an abnormal detection system and method for an expansion tank, a computer device and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the cooling mode of generator equipment, current conversion equipment and transformer equipment in a wind power system is usually in the form of a closed cooling water circuit system. Water circulates in the closed pipeline. If no water leakage occurs, the pressure distribution in the circuit system remains basically unchanged under the condition that the water pump is not started, and the pressure of each part is determined by the original expansion tank pre-charge pressure and the last system pressure charging condition. However, if the expansion tank is abnormal, such as air leakage or water leakage, the expansion tank cannot play a normal pressure balancing role, which is manifested as a large pressure fluctuation. During water charging, the pressure rises rapidly, and after the water charging is completed, the pressure drops rapidly, and a stable pressure balancing state cannot be reached.

[0003] At present, there is no relevant patent report for this kind of problem. The usual practice is that when the expansion tank is abnormal, the water circuit pressure is low, and the equipment is stopped when a fault is triggered. Since it is difficult to check the damage of the expansion tank from the appearance, the operation and maintenance personnel only recharge the water circuit to make the equipment resume operation under normal circumstances. However, due to the abnormal tank, the pressure cannot be normally built, and after the water is recharged for a period of time (usually a few days), the pressure drops to an abnormal level again, resulting in frequent shutdown, economic loss and increased maintenance cost. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide an abnormal detection system and method for an expansion tank, a computer device and a storage medium, which solves the problem that the expansion tank cannot be detected at present.

[0017] If the pressure value is less than the third preset value for N consecutive times, it is considered that the expansion tank is abnormal.

[0018] Further, in S1, the data preprocessing specifically includes: repeated value deletion, missing value supplement and interrupted data rejection.

[0019] Further, in S2, the state identification channel corresponds to different numerical representations, 1 represents shutdown, 2 represents operation and maintenance, 3 represents startup, and 4 represents running.

[0021] Further, in S4, the first preset value is Pset1, and Pset1 is 1-1.5 bar.

[0022] Further, in S5, P max = max(Pt, Pt+1, Pt+2, …, Pt+Δt);

[0023] The second preset value is Pset2, and Pset2 is 3-3.5 bar.

[0024] Further, in S5, the third preset value is Pset3, and Pset3=1-1.5 bar.

[0051] S1, obtaining the operation data of the expansion tank and performing data preprocessing to obtain qualified data; the qualified data includes state identification channel and pressure data;

[0052] S2, checking the state identification channel of the expansion tank in time sequence to determine whether the state of the expansion tank is in the operation and maintenance state;

[0053] If it is in the operation and maintenance state, S3 is started;

[0054] If it is not in the operation and maintenance state, the state identification channel of the expansion tank at the next time is continuously checked;

[0055] S3, comparing the current pressure value P m with the pressure P mb before the preset time period to obtain the difference DetPm;
