The device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and is usually configured in an electronic device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transformer foundation base monitoring method may include the following steps:

[0056] S101: Acquire the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by each fiber Bragg grating sensor uploaded by the laser receiver.

[0057] Figure 2FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of the fiber Bragg grating sensor in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, multiple fiber Bragg grating sensors are coupled in series. The current fiber Bragg grating sensor receives the laser signal transmitted by the previous fiber Bragg grating sensor, reflects the laser signal to the previous fiber Bragg grating sensor, and sends the transmitted laser signal to the next fiber Bragg grating sensor. The laser receiver determines the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by each fiber Bragg grating sensor based on the received laser signal. For example, Figure 2 As shown, the top view of the base is rectangular, and fiber grating sensors are set at the four corners of the base. The fiber grating sensors set at the four corners of the base are placed horizontally, and the fiber grating sensor at the center of the base is placed vertically. The laser transmission path starts from one of the fiber grating sensors at the four corners of the base, passes through the fiber grating sensors at the other three corners, and reaches the fiber grating sensor at the center of the base. For example, Figure 2 As shown, the laser transmission path is transmitted along paths 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the first fiber grating sensor, the second fiber grating sensor, the third fiber grating sensor, the fourth fiber grating sensor, and the fifth fiber grating sensor are respectively provided at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

[0058] Specifically, after the construction of the substation is completed, the fiber grating sensors can be laid around the foundation to form a ring or rectangle. The layout is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. It should be noted that the sensor layout can adopt various forms. For example, rectangular, cross, center point layout, perpendicular to the base layout, etc., the embodiment of the present invention is not limited here. For ease of understanding, a ring is used in this example.

[0059] Fiber Bragg sensor (FBG sensor) is a type of fiber optic sensor. The sensing process based on FBG is to obtain sensing information by modulating the Bragg wavelength of the fiber by external physical parameters. It is a wavelength-modulated fiber optic sensor. FBG sensor can directly measure physical quantities such as temperature and strain. Specifically, the FBG sensor has an initial reflection wavelength. When the light wave passes through the FBG, it will reflect back a narrowband light of a specific wavelength. The wavelength of the narrowband light depends on the grating pitch (grating period) of the FBG. When the grating period of the FBG sensor changes due to temperature and strain, the wavelength response of the reflected light wave also changes. Therefore, there is a corresponding relationship between the wavelength λ of the reflected light of the FBG sensor and physical quantities such as temperature, force, and length. This is the basic principle of FBG sensing technology.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, the base may be provided with a laser receiver, which receives the laser reflected by each fiber grating sensor, determines the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by each fiber grating sensor, and then uploads the wavelength to the processing unit.

[0061] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the basic base is also provided with a fiber Bragg grating sensor that is sensitive to temperature and insensitive to strain, which are respectively a first fiber Bragg grating sensor, a second fiber Bragg grating sensor, a third fiber Bragg grating sensor, a fourth fiber Bragg grating sensor, a fifth fiber Bragg grating sensor and a sixth fiber Bragg grating sensor according to the laser transmission path. Among them, the fiber Bragg grating sensor at the center of the basic base is the fifth fiber Bragg grating sensor, and the fiber Bragg grating sensor that is sensitive to temperature and insensitive to strain is the sixth fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0062] Points 1, 2, 3, and 4 serve as monitoring points for transformer foundation tilt. At point 5, the center of the foundation, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor is embedded perpendicular to the ground surface to monitor foundation settlement. To eliminate temperature-induced wavelength changes in reflected light, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor insensitive to displacement (or settlement, tilt) is selected and deployed at point 6 for temperature compensation. To prevent data loss due to failure of a fiber Bragg grating sensor, additional sensors can be added based on the layout, but this is not limited in this embodiment. A laser diode is installed at point 0, the headend, to transmit optical signals. Its power supply is connected to the maintenance power box. Because the power supply in the maintenance power box within the substation is derived from the station power supply, which is a dual-purpose configuration, this power connection method provides a stable and reliable power source for the light source. If power reliability requirements cannot be met during application, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can be installed separately. A laser receiver is installed at point 0, the headend, which converts the received optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the processing unit.

[0063] S102: Calculate the vertical settlement distance of the base based on the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by the fiber Bragg grating sensor at the center of the base and the intrinsic properties of each fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, the vertical settlement distance of the base is calculated based on the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by the fiber Bragg grating sensor at the center of the base and the intrinsic properties of each fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to eliminate the influence of temperature factors on the monitoring results, the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by the sixth fiber grating sensor is used as the first wavelength of the reflected light caused by the basic temperature change, and the difference between the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by the fifth fiber grating sensor and the first wavelength is calculated to obtain the second wavelength representing the reflected light caused by the settlement change, and then the vertical settlement distance of the base is calculated based on the second wavelength and the intrinsic properties of the fifth fiber grating sensor.

[0066] Specifically, the vertical settlement distance of the base is calculated based on the second wavelength and the intrinsic properties of the fifth fiber grating sensor. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0067]

[0068] Where S represents the vertical settlement distance of the foundation base, Λ V is the second wavelength, λ B5 is the initial reflection wavelength of the fifth fiber Bragg grating sensor, L5 is the effective length of the fifth fiber Bragg grating sensor, P e is the photoelastic coefficient, α is the strain sensitivity of the optical fiber, that is, the proportional coefficient between wavelength change and strain. V =λ 45 -Λ T , Λ T =λ 56 ,λ 56 is the wavelength of the laser reflected by the sixth fiber Bragg grating sensor, λ 45 is the wavelength of the laser reflected by the fifth fiber Bragg grating sensor, Λ T is the first wavelength.

[0069] S103 : Calculate the strain of the fiber Bragg grating sensor based on the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by the fiber Bragg grating sensor at the periphery of the base.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present invention, the strain amount of the fiber Bragg grating sensor at the periphery of the base base is calculated based on the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by the fiber Bragg grating sensor at the periphery of the base base.

[0071] Specifically, the difference between the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by the jth fiber Bragg grating sensor and the first wavelength is calculated to obtain a third wavelength, where j = 1, 2, 3 or 4. The difference between the third wavelength and the second wavelength is calculated to obtain a fourth wavelength representing the reflected light caused by the tilt of the base around the base. The strain of the jth fiber Bragg grating sensor is calculated based on the fourth wavelength and the intrinsic properties of the jth fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0072] Specifically, the calculation formula for the fourth wavelength is:

[0073] Λ ij =λ ij -ΛV -Λ T i,j=1,2,3,4 and i≠j

[0074] Among them, λ ij is the wavelength of the laser signal reflected by the j-th fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0075] The calculation formula of the strain of the j-th fiber Bragg grating sensor is:

[0076]

[0077] Where, ΔL ij is the strain of the j-th fiber Bragg grating sensor, Λ ij is the fourth wavelength, λ Bj is the initial reflection wavelength of the jth fiber Bragg grating sensor, L ij is the effective length of the jth fiber Bragg grating sensor, P e is the photoelastic coefficient, and α is the strain sensitivity of the optical fiber, that is, the proportional coefficient between wavelength change and strain.

[0078] S104: Calculate the inclination angle of the base based on the vertical settlement distance of the base and the strain of the fiber grating sensor.

[0079] After obtaining the vertical settlement distance of the foundation base and the strain of the fiber grating sensor, the inclination angle around the foundation base can be calculated using the following formula.

[0080]

[0081] Among them, θ ij is the inclination angle of the edge of the foundation base where the fiber Bragg grating sensor is located, S is the vertical settlement distance of the foundation base, ΔL ij is the strain of the j-th fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to consider both the absolute value and the rate of change of the monitored parameters in a real-time monitoring system, the present invention introduces two sets of safety thresholds: one for the absolute value of the parameter and the other for the rate of change of the parameter. In this way, the system can warn of both immediate dangerous conditions and potential risks that may be foreshadowed by rapid changes. Definition of absolute safety threshold: S max ,θ max 、L max ; Safety threshold of change speed: Since the laser emitter emits light signals every moment, the settlement, displacement, and tilt data we obtain are a time series, and the interval Δt depends on the sampling frequency f of the light detector. Then, the settlement speed of the foundation base is monitored based on the vertical settlement distance of the foundation base. Strain monitoring based on fiber Bragg grating sensor Strain velocity of fiber Bragg grating sensor Monitor the tilt speed of the foundation based on the tilt angle of the foundation Determine whether the vertical settlement distance of the foundation base is greater than the preset settlement distance S max , Is the sedimentation velocity greater than the preset sedimentation velocity? Is the strain greater than the preset strain L? max , whether the strain speed is greater than the preset strain speed Is the tilt angle greater than the preset angle? Is the tilt speed greater than the preset tilt speed?

[0083] A warning signal is generated to the user terminal when the vertical settlement distance of the foundation base exceeds a preset settlement distance, the settlement velocity exceeds a preset settlement velocity, the strain exceeds a preset strain, the strain velocity exceeds a preset strain velocity, the tilt angle exceeds a preset angle, or the tilt velocity exceeds a preset tilt velocity. In other words, a warning signal is generated to the user terminal as long as any of these exceeds a threshold.

[0084] For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, the monitoring results and alarm signals can also be transmitted to the unit's internal server through an intranet switch via an encryption algorithm (such as AES128). At the same time, they will be transmitted to the alarm room and office in the substation through the switch. In this way, the staff in the substation can receive the alarm signal as soon as possible and take effective measures in a timely manner. In addition, the monitoring results and alarm signals can also be archived for easy subsequent tracing. The transformer foundation status information data in the memory is read in the internal office system to display real-time data and historical trends, as well as any alarms or abnormal conditions. Based on the monitoring data, maintenance personnel can evaluate the condition of the substation transformer foundation and take maintenance or reinforcement measures when necessary. Through this process, the fiber optic sensor system can provide continuous and real-time monitoring of the substation transformer foundation to ensure its stability and safety. The advantages of this monitoring technology are its high sensitivity, strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability, and reliability suitable for harsh environmental conditions.
