Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to non-intrusive load disaggregation, and particularly to a non-intrusive load disaggregation method from multi-electrical parameters to points based on a neural network. Background Art

[0002] There is a large amount of energy waste in traditional power systems. In the context of the era of energy conservation and environmental protection, efficient management and effective utilization of electric energy have become the focus of research in the power field. In industrial production, non-intrusive load disaggregation technology is widely used, which is of great value for helping industrial users save energy and reduce production costs. Industrial equipment loads generate fewer events and need to be studied on a longer time scale. At present, the digital level of industrial users is not high, and large, medium and small industrial users cannot guarantee data quality while completing high-frequency industrial load data collection. At the same time, the current data collection, communication and storage capabilities cannot support high-frequency collection of industrial load data. Therefore, in practical applications, it is more practical to study ultra-low frequency load disaggregation in the industrial field.

[0003] Since Hart et al. proposed an algorithm called Transient Detection Algorithm in 1985, non-intrusive load disaggregation has gradually become a research hotspot. Mauch et al. implemented a deep recurrent network using long short-term memory (LSTM) neurons, which uses the aggregated values at the same time point to predict the energy consumption of the device at a specific time point. Based on the same principle, Thi-Thu-Huong et al. compared the performance of gated recurrent unit (GRU) and traditional recurrent network in the energy disaggregation task. In the experiment, GRU achieved better results. Zhang achieved state-of-the-art results through a deep convolutional network, which uses an aggregated data window to predict the midpoint value of the consumption window of the same device. They named the above method "sequence-to-point", which has the advantages of fast training speed, low model complexity, wide application range and effective avoidance of error accumulation.

[0004] However, in an ultra-low frequency industrial environment, the interval between each sampling of load data is longer and the load characteristics are more complex. For the existing sliding window methods, at a long window scale, the load characteristics will lose their meaning due to too long a time span, and at a short window scale, it is difficult to obtain sufficient feature quantities to express more complex load conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The non - invasive load decomposition method based on neural network with multiple electrical parameters to points, as Figure 1 shown, ① Collect various electrical parameters at the bus end and optimize them to obtain the most suitable optimal parameter set, specifically including:

[0040] Collect various electrical parameters at the bus end, perform correlation analysis with the parameters corresponding to branch line load decomposition, set different parameter sets according to the correlation analysis results, and select the most suitable optimal parameter set through experimental analysis;

[0041] Among them, the electrical parameters include total active power, total reactive power, total apparent power, as well as the current, voltage, admittance, active power, reactive power, and apparent power of each branch phase.

[0042] ② As Figure 2 shown, the method of using multiple electrical parameters to points is adopted to fit the optimal parameter group, and the fitting result is obtained, specifically including:

[0043] Without considering the window size, the optimal parameter group is fitted point to point. At this time, the mapping relationship is: the input is the optimal parameter group Y at time t at the bus end X1:XN , and the output is the electrical parameter x at time t of the branch line τ .

[0044] Specifically, the mapping relationship is expressed by the following formula:

[0045]

[0046] Among them, L is the sequence length, Y X1:XN is the optimal parameter group at time t at the bus end, Y X1:XN includes N electrical parameters X1, X2,..., XN, and θp is the network parameter.

[0050] Collect various electrical parameters of the bus end in real time, and optimize the various electrical parameters of the bus end collected in real time to obtain the most suitable real-time optimal parameter group;

[0051] Using the trained deep neural network model to decompose the real-time optimal parameter group to obtain the branch line load data.

[0052] Experimental analysis

[0053] 1) Dataset composition

[0054] Select an actual industrial load dataset for the experiment. This dataset contains the power data of a power distribution room in a large factory with a sampling frequency of 1 / 120 Hz from February 1, 2021 to April 30, 2021. Select 3 different types of branch lines: Line1, a steadily shutdown device: the main motor of the coal mill; Line2, a complex fluctuating device: the exhaust fan at the kiln head; Line3, a fluctuating startup device: the power supply of the electrical room at the kiln head. Collect relevant electrical parameters such as voltage, current, power, and admittance at the bus end, and collect the electrical parameters to be decomposed at each branch line, such as active power.

[0055] 2) Evaluation indicators

[0056] Select the Mean Absolute Error, Mean Square Error, Root Mean Square Error, and correlation coefficient CC to evaluate the load decomposition results of each load decomposition model.

[0057] Among them, MSE is the average of the squares of the differences between the predicted values and the true values. Compared with MAE, MSE can retain the positive and negative information of the errors and pay more attention to the influence of large errors, because after the errors are squared, large errors will get greater weights. RMSE is the square root of MSE, providing a measurement standard similar to the target variable, making it more intuitive to compare and interpret the results. And MAE is the average of the absolute values of the differences between the predicted values and the true values, which measures the average size of the prediction errors.

[0058] 3) Experimental settings

[0059] Using the actual industrial load dataset, compare the decomposition effects of the Mep2point model for industrial load decomposition from multiple electrical parameters to points in the technical solution of this application with two sliding window-based load decomposition models Seq2point and Seq2subseq in the non-intrusive load decomposition field (as Figure 4 shown) for the load of 3 different types of branch lines. The comparison results are shown in the following table:

[0060] Table 1 Decomposition effect table of different load decomposition models

[0061]

[0062] Table 2 Comparison table of decomposition effects between different load decomposition models

[0063]

[0064] In Line1, the Mep2point model of this application has good fitting results for all 5 downward trends. There are only two very short instantaneous upward trends in the 5th downward trend, but this will not interfere with the load decomposition results. However, there are large errors in the other two sliding window-based load decomposition models. Seq2point has more error fluctuations, while Seq2subseq cannot accurately capture the 0 point. The emergence of the above problems is determined by the nature of these two models. Seq2point fits a single point, so there will be greater perturbations; Seq2subseq fits a sequence, which can better fit the general curve but is lacking in details.

[0065] In Line2, it can be clearly seen the superiority of the Mep2point model of this application, which has a better fitting curve and better evaluation indicators, while the other two sliding window-based load decomposition models are very ineffective at this time. In practical applications, the sliding window-based methods cannot obtain the actual operating conditions of such industrial equipment, while the Mep2point model of this application has a better load decomposition effect.

[0066] In the example of Line3, ten upward trends are intercepted. Seq2point and Seq2subseq mostly do not reach the peak value in the ten upward trends and cannot decompose the actual peak value, while the Mep2point model of this application can accurately decompose the maximum value of the load. However, the fluctuations of the load decomposition results are more complex at this time, resulting in a decrease in the evaluation indicators because Line3 is not an industrial equipment but the total power supply of a room, and there is greater interference at this time. Moreover, this application selects a series of bus terminal electrical parameters, which multiplies the interference, resulting in large fluctuations in the load decomposition results. The fitting curve can be smoothed through post-processing noise reduction.

[0067] The above experiments verified the superiority of the Mep2point model of this application in the actual industrial load dataset. Compared with the existing sliding window-based load decomposition models, the Mep2point model of this application can better obtain the actual operating conditions of industrial loads, so that it can more accurately monitor the load operating conditions in practical applications, which is helpful for the monitoring and analysis of industrial equipment.

[0068] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements will not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
