[0003] Currently, transformer equipment condition assessment primarily targets a broad range of equipment, employing mechanisms and causal relationship models based on theoretical analysis, computational simulation, and experimental testing, along with standardized evaluation criteria.

Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0033] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with each other.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for constructing a digital twin model for transformer fault diagnosis, including:

[0036] The operating status of each device in the transformer is divided into information dimensions, and matching factors are defined for data points in each information dimension. By setting the standard value of each matching factor in each information dimension, a registration library is constructed.

[0037] Obtain the sampling sequence of each device in the transformer under its operating state, determine the deviation between each sampling value in the sampling sequence and the standard value of the corresponding matching factor in the registration library, and obtain a comprehensive score for the corresponding information dimension based on the deviation judgment result to evaluate the availability of the current sampling sequence;

[0038] The target data set is obtained according to the availability evaluation results of all sampling sequences, and a digital twin model for transformer fault diagnosis is constructed based on it.

[0039] In this embodiment, the original data set used to build the digital twin model includes normal operating status data, abnormal operating status data of each transformer device, and operating status simulation data generated by the simulation tool, thereby forming a multi-block, multi-level, and multi-type multi-dimensional data set;

[0040] Among them, normal operating status data can be obtained from the real-time records of the equipment's daily operating status detection system; abnormal operating status data is more difficult to obtain because, under normal circumstances, key components are less likely to fail. Since there is very little data when the equipment fails, you can consider obtaining such data from other channels, such as other departments within the enterprise, or partners upstream and downstream of the supply chain; at the same time, use simulation tools to generate operating status simulation data, and combine this data with physical sensor data to prevent the lack of fault data from becoming an obstacle to evaluation.

[0041] In this embodiment, data preprocessing is performed on the original data set, specifically including:

[0042] (1) Methods for handling missing data values;

[0043] Missing values ​​are common in data due to various factors such as storage and retrieval. Missing data can be divided into single-variable missing and multi-variable missing based on the amount of missing data.

[0044] When the missing data is univariate and does not affect the results of data analysis, it is considered to be completely random missing. The processing method in this case is list deletion or pairwise deletion.

[0045] When the missing data is a single variable and it is impossible to determine whether the missing data is caused by machine or human operation, it is usually considered that the missing result meets the random missing characteristics. When processing missing values, smooth prediction or single value interpolation can be used to fill the data.

[0046] When the missing data are multivariate and it is difficult to find the existing pattern in the data list, the missing data can be supplemented by maximum likelihood estimation or maximum expected value algorithm.

[0047] (2) Methods for handling data outliers;

[0048] Outliers are often called "outliers". The following methods are commonly used to deal with outliers:

[0049] a) Simple statistical analysis. After obtaining the data, a simple descriptive statistical analysis can be performed on the data. For example, the maximum and minimum values ​​can be used to determine whether the value of this variable exceeds the reasonable range. For example, if the customer's age is -20 or 200, it is obviously unreasonable and is an outlier.

[0050] b) Principle. If the data follows a normal distribution, In principle, an outlier is a value in a set of measured values ​​that deviates from the mean by more than 3 standard deviations. The probability of a value other than This is a very rare event with a low probability. If the data does not follow a normal distribution, it can also be described by how many times the standard deviation is away from the mean.

[0051] c) Model-based detection. First, establish a data model. Anomalies are objects that do not fit the model perfectly. If the model is a collection of clusters, anomalies are objects that do not significantly belong to any cluster. When using a regression model, anomalies are objects that are relatively far from the predicted value.

[0052] (3) After cleaning the data, it is necessary to fill in the data to remove outliers. Usually, smoothing prediction and interpolation methods are used to handle missing values ​​for simple data, and random forest algorithms are used to fill in complex data.

[0053] Finally, the sampling sequence of each device in the transformer operating state after preprocessing is obtained.

[0054] In this embodiment, building a registration library is an important step in data registration. Its purpose is to define the standard values ​​of each information dimension in the operating status of each transformer device as a benchmark, perform overall rationality comparison analysis on the matching data, and obtain a reasonable target data set.

[0055] The construction of the registration library should take into account the standard parameters of the transformer status data in all aspects. According to the type, meaning, and source of the transformer status assessment data, the information dimension is divided into multiple types. Each type includes multiple matching factors. The multi-type and multi-factor data are constructed into a registration library. The specific definition is as follows:

[0056] The information dimensions of the operating status of each transformer device include: basic information, historical case information, operating condition information, meteorological information, alarm information, initial information, online monitoring information, etc. Each information dimension includes multiple data points, each data point is defined as a separate matching factor, and each matching factor is independently sampled for measurement value. The measurement value of each matching factor has a corresponding reference standard value, which can come from historical data and expert experience, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0057] In this embodiment, the information dimension under each sampling sequence is weighted, and the sum of the weights of all information dimensions is 1. The matching factors under each information dimension are also weighted, and the sum of the weights of all matching factors in a single information dimension is 1. The above weights are aligned before data alignment and can be defined manually. At the same time, the weights are adjusted based on the diagnostic performance of the constructed digital twin model to achieve gradual tuning during the construction of the digital twin model.

[0058] In this embodiment, data registration is performed on the sampling sequences of each device in the operating state of the transformer according to the registration library to obtain the target data set for building the digital twin model for transformer fault diagnosis; specifically, the following steps are included:

[0059] (1) Evaluation of each matching factor:

[0060] By comparing the sample value of the i-th matching factor with the standard value of the matching factor, the deviation P of the sample value of the matching factor is obtained. The deviation refers to the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between the sample value and the standard value to the standard value, specifically P = |AX| / A; where A is the standard value and X is the sample value;

[0061] Then, the evaluation score Q of the matching factor is calculated based on the deviation i , when the deviation P is 0, Q i =1, the larger P is, the closer Qi is to 0, and Q i The value space is [0-1], that is, when the sampling value is within the standard value range, Q i =1, not within the standard value range, the value is determined according to the degree of deviation from the standard value. The farther away from the normal range, the closer the value is to 0;

[0062] It is understandable that the specific conversion method can be set according to the actual measurement data of different matching factors to set a reasonable value logic, which can be defined manually and is not limited here.

[0063] (2) Evaluation of each information dimension:

[0064] According to the evaluation scores and weights of all matching factors in the jth information dimension, the evaluation score W of the information dimension is obtained. j :

[0065]

[0066] Among them, N j is the number of matching factors in the jth information dimension; K i is the weight of the i-th matching factor in the information dimension. The weights of all matching factors meet the conditions:

[0067] (3) Usability evaluation of target dataset:

[0068] According to the evaluation scores and weights of all information dimensions in the current sampling sequence, the evaluation score S of the current sampling sequence is obtained;

[0069]

[0070] Where m is the number of information dimensions in the current sampling sequence; L j is the weight of the information dimension. The weights of all information dimensions meet the following conditions:

[0071] (4) Define the qualified score of the target data set based on different equipment types and expert experience 合格 , when the evaluation score of the target dataset>=S 合格 , then the target dataset is judged to be the target matching dataset.

[0072] In this embodiment, a digital twin model for transformer fault diagnosis is constructed based on the target data set obtained by the final alignment. After the digital twin model is used to diagnose the transformer fault, the digital twin model is verified according to the diagnosis accuracy. By determining which type of fault diagnosis accuracy is low, the weight of the information dimension, the weight of the matching factor, and the standard value of the data type with low fault diagnosis accuracy are adjusted until the fault diagnosis accuracy meets the requirements.
