Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic application technology, and specifically to a method for diagnosing partial discharge based on the phase correlation and phase statistical characteristics of ultrasonic signals. Background Technology

[0002] Power systems are composed of numerous electrical devices, whose close connections form a vast power network. Partial discharge is one of the most common and destructive types of faults in various electrical devices, such as switchgear. Therefore, timely diagnosis of partial discharge is of great significance for the stable operation of equipment.

[0003] Based on the characteristics of partial discharge, various detection methods have been developed. These can be categorized by detection type into electrical detection methods (such as pulsed current methods and ultra-high frequency methods) and non-electrical detection methods (such as ultrasonic methods and ultra-high frequency methods). Among these, non-electrical detection methods are gaining increasing attention due to their strong resistance to electromagnetic interference and the ability to perform online detection without affecting normal equipment operation. For example, according to publication (announcement) number CN115421007A, publication (announcement) date: 2022-12-02, an ultrasonic partial discharge detection device is disclosed. Ultrasonic detection, as a non-electrical detection method, is a detection approach that has gradually emerged in recent years. Its basic principle is to couple partial discharge ultrasonic signals through a sensor, thereby reflecting the internal condition of the equipment.

[0004] In the prior art, including the aforementioned patents, since there are various types of partial discharge inside electrical equipment, the accompanying ultrasonic signals contain rich feature information. Therefore, by analyzing the ultrasonic signals, it is possible to diagnose whether the equipment has experienced partial discharge in a timely and accurate manner, which is expected to be well resolved! Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a partial discharge diagnosis method based on the phase correlation and phase statistical characteristics of ultrasound signals, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for diagnosing partial discharge based on the phase correlation and phase statistical characteristics of ultrasound signals, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S01. Based on the RLS algorithm and Fourier method, the acquired ultrasonic signal is denoised to remove white noise and interference signals in the frequency band below 20kHz.

[0008] S02. While performing step 1, locate the starting point of the acquired ultrasound signal;

[0009] S03. Use Discrete Fourier Transform to downsample the original signal to 500 data points, calculate the fuzzy entropy of the downsampled signal, and construct the first diagnostic model.

[0010] S04. Reduce the number of sampling points of the original data to 3600 data points by taking the maximum value at certain intervals;

[0011] S05. Based on the 50Hz correlation principle, obtain the position of the maximum value in each cycle, and combine the phase statistical characteristics of the partial discharge signal to construct the second and third diagnostic models respectively.

[0012] S06. Obtain the diagnostic results of the first diagnostic model, the second diagnostic model, and the third diagnostic model, and determine whether partial discharge has occurred based on the diagnostic results.

[0013] Preferably, the sampling frequency of the ultrasonic signal in step 1 is 500K and the sampling time is 1s.

[0014] Preferably, the noise reduction process includes filtering out white noise and eliminating various periodic and non-periodic interferences.

[0015] Preferably, the RLS algorithm filters out white noise mixed in the original ultrasonic signal. If the amplitude of a certain data point is too large, it is considered to be interference and is set to 0. The correlation coefficient between two adjacent signal periods is calculated to determine whether it is periodic interference. Then, the original signal is subjected to Fourier transform to set the frequency band below 20kHz to 0, and then the inverse transform is performed to obtain the partial discharge ultrasonic signal.

[0016] Preferably, in step 2, the correlation between two adjacent windows is calculated with a window length of 20ms per period and a step size of 1. Preferably, in step 3, the downsampling of the original signal in the ultrasound signal is performed using Fourier transform to downsample the original signal to 500 data points.

[0017] Wherein: the embedding dimension of fuzzy entropy is set to 1, the dimension for calculating fuzzy membership degree is set to 3, and the similarity tolerance is set to 0.15.

[0018] Preferably, in the 50Hz correlation execution judgment, if the difference between the position of the maximum value of other cycles is less than or equal to the threshold, it is considered to be the same phase; if the number of times the phase occurs is divided by 50 and is greater than or equal to the threshold r, it is considered to have partial discharge.

[0019] Preferably, in step 5, the downsampled 3600 data points are divided into 72 points per period, for a total of 50 periods, and then 50 are constructed. Given a matrix of 72, calculate the mean of each column to form a matrix of 1. The eigenvector T_mean of 72 is then calculated, and its variance / mean is calculated. If the variance / mean is greater than the threshold R, then the presence of partial discharge is considered.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the present invention provides a partial discharge diagnosis method based on the phase correlation and phase statistical characteristics of ultrasonic signals, which has the following beneficial effects: by analyzing the characteristics of partial discharge ultrasonic signals, a partial discharge identification system is constructed by fusing three diagnostic models. Compared with other diagnostic methods, this method not only effectively improves the accuracy of partial discharge diagnosis, but also greatly reduces the false alarm rate of the models.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a partial discharge diagnosis method based on the phase correlation and phase statistical characteristics of ultrasound signals includes the following steps:

[0028] S01. Based on the RLS algorithm and Fourier method, noise reduction processing is performed on the acquired ultrasonic signal (sampling frequency of 500K and sampling time of 1s) (including filtering out white noise and eliminating various periodic and non-periodic interferences) to eliminate interference signals in the frequency band below 20kHz.

[0029] The S11 and RLS algorithms filter out white noise mixed in the original ultrasonic signal. If the amplitude of a certain data point is too large, it is considered to be interference and is set to 0. The correlation coefficient between two adjacent signal periods is calculated to determine whether it is periodic interference. Then, the original signal is subjected to Fourier transform to set the frequency band below 20kHz to 0, and then the inverse transform is performed to obtain the partial discharge ultrasonic signal.

[0030] S02. While performing step 1, find the starting point of the acquired ultrasound signal;

[0031] S21. Calculate the correlation between two adjacent windows with a window length of 20ms as one period and a step size of 1. Determine the starting point based on the magnitude of the correlation coefficient cor.

[0032] S03. Use Discrete Fourier Transform to downsample the original signal to 500 data points, calculate the fuzzy entropy of the downsampled signal, and construct the first diagnostic model.

[0033] S31. Downsampling: The original signal in the ultrasound signal is downsampled to 500 data points using Fourier transform.

[0034] Wherein: the embedding dimension of fuzzy entropy is set to 1, the dimension for calculating fuzzy membership degree is set to 3, and the similarity tolerance is set to 0.15.

[0035] S04. Reduce the number of sampling points of the original data to 3600 data points by taking the maximum value at certain intervals;

[0036] S05. Based on the 50Hz correlation principle, obtain the position of the maximum value in each cycle, and combine the phase statistical characteristics of the partial discharge signal to construct the second and third diagnostic models respectively.

[0037] In the S51, 50Hz related execution judgment, if the difference between the position of the maximum value of other cycles is less than or equal to the threshold, it is considered to be the same phase; if the number of times the phase occurs is divided by 50 and is greater than or equal to the threshold r, it is considered to have partial discharge.

[0038] S52, the downsampled 3600 data points are divided into 72 points per cycle, for a total of 50 cycles, and then constituted as 50... Given a matrix of 72, calculate the mean of each column to form a matrix of 1. The eigenvector T_mean of 72 is then calculated, and its variance / mean is calculated. If the variance / mean is greater than the threshold R, then the presence of partial discharge is considered.

[0039] S06. Obtain the diagnostic results of the first diagnostic model, the second diagnostic model, and the third diagnostic model, and determine whether partial discharge has occurred based on the diagnostic results.

[0040] The diagnostic results of the three diagnostic models are statistically analyzed. If at least one model diagnoses the presence of partial discharge, then partial discharge is considered to have occurred; otherwise, it is considered that no partial discharge has occurred.
