Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible direct current converter valves, and in particular to a method and device for detecting voltage anomalies in submodules of a flexible direct current converter valve. Background Art

[0002] Diagnosing abnormal voltage in flexible direct current (HVDC) converter valve submodules is a key area of ​​power electronics, primarily used in flexible direct current (HVDC) systems within power electronics devices. This technology addresses the operational safety and stability of HVDC systems, as well as the need for power equipment status monitoring and fault diagnosis.

[0003] The High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) system is a system that uses direct current (DC) transmission technology to transmit high-capacity electricity over long distances. One of its key components is the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) converter, and the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) valve submodule is one of the components of the converter.

[0004] With the increasing diversification of electric energy sources, HVDC systems offer unique advantages in long-distance, high-capacity power transmission, leading to their increasing application in power transmission. The converter in an HVDC system is the core device connecting the AC and DC systems, and its stability and reliability are crucial to the operation of the entire system. Therefore, to ensure the safe operation of HVDC systems, timely and accurate detection and diagnosis of abnormal voltage faults in the flexible DC converter submodules is crucial to avoid potential system accidents and downtime losses.

[0005] Currently, due to the recent development of HVDC Flexible projects, limited data accumulation, and the challenging nature of anomaly diagnosis, most supervised algorithms are largely unusable. Furthermore, due to the poor interpretability of unsupervised learning algorithms, such as clustering algorithms, they are ineffective in diagnosing similar anomalies in power systems. In summary, current algorithms for HVDC Flexible transmission are limited to indicator-based condition monitoring and verification algorithms based on power mechanism formulas. However, these algorithms are only effective during major faults, which are generally short-lived and unable to generate meaningful action. Key algorithms for alarm and early warning are lacking for HVDC Flexible transmission. Summary of the Invention

[0052] Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and device for detecting voltage anomaly in a flexible direct current (DC) converter valve submodule.

[0053] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] The commonly used means in existing technologies are as follows: Sensor technology: Utilize high-precision sensors to monitor the voltage of the flexible DC converter valve submodule in real time to achieve sensitive detection of voltage anomalies. Data analysis and algorithms: Use advanced data analysis technologies and algorithms to process and analyze the monitored voltage data in real time to identify abnormal patterns and fault characteristics. Artificial intelligence and machine learning: Use artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to establish a model for voltage anomaly diagnosis to achieve automatic identification and classification of different fault types. Online monitoring system: Build an online monitoring system that integrates sensors, data analysis, and diagnostic algorithms to achieve real-time monitoring and abnormal diagnosis of the voltage of the flexible DC converter valve submodule.

[0055] However, in DC transmission projects, data storage is typically enormous. If data from every collector at every frequency were recorded, the database would grow exponentially, and data storage usage would become a significant issue. Therefore, most DC transmission projects do not retain all data, but only critical data. For example, if data such as submodule voltage and temperature were collected at a fixed frequency per module, the large number of submodules in each bridge arm—typically thousands in total—would create a massive amount of data to store. Therefore, data is typically divided into valve towers, with each tower storing only the minimum and maximum values, rather than all data. This extreme compression of data dimensions and the shift from relatively continuous data to highly discrete data complicates algorithm execution.

[0056] like Figure 1 The flowchart of a method for detecting voltage anomalies in a flexible DC converter valve submodule according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method for detecting voltage anomalies in a flexible DC converter valve submodule provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, a computer. The present invention utilizes discrete voltage data from the flexible DC converter valve submodule, employs a correlation algorithm based on the potential distribution relationships within the discrete voltage data, and uses a skewed distribution and sliding window approach to identify potential persistent voltage anomalies in the flexible DC converter valve submodule, thereby facilitating an alert for potential problems and effectively preventing failures in the flexible DC converter valve submodule. The method shown in the figure includes:

[0057] Step S1, obtaining discrete voltage data of the flexible direct current converter valve submodule, performing distribution verification on the discrete voltage data, and obtaining a distribution verification result;

[0058] Step S2: If the distribution verification result is passed, the discrete voltage data is preliminarily fitted by adjusting the time period to determine the inflection point position;

[0059] Step S3, using the maximum likelihood estimation algorithm and the skewed distribution algorithm to determine the abnormality judgment limit value according to the inflection point position, and using a preset sliding window to perform continuous calculations over a time period to obtain continuous calculation results;

[0060] Step S4: performing voltage anomaly detection on the flexible DC converter valve submodule according to the abnormality judgment limit value and the continuous calculation result to obtain a voltage anomaly detection result.

[0061] Among them, for the discrete voltage data of the flexible direct current converter valve submodule, a preset number of discrete voltage data of each submodule are collected, for example, five data of the maximum and minimum values ​​at each moment are obtained. To determine whether the collected discrete voltage data is usable, it is necessary to perform preliminary regularity verification on the discrete voltage data, that is, distribution verification, to obtain the distribution verification result.

[0062] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the discrete voltage data is distributed and verified, and the distribution verification results include:

[0063] Step S11, performing a count of the number of occurrences of discrete voltage data, and determining a significance level test value based on the obtained number of occurrences;

[0064] Step S12: comparing the significance level test value with a preset significance threshold, and obtaining a distribution verification result based on the obtained comparison result.

[0065] Among them, the number of occurrences of all data is counted, and it is determined that the number of occurrences of each valve tower submodule in the data in the long-term data is not much different, as shown in Table 1.

[0066] Table 1

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] Furthermore, for a period of time, the distribution verification of the statistical data of the same valve tower is conducted to determine whether the conditions are met. Specifically, based on the number of occurrences obtained, the significance level test value is determined in a conventional manner, and the obtained significance level test value is compared with the preset significance threshold. Based on the comparison result, the distribution verification result is determined. Specifically, for example, if 14 days are used, the α value of the significance level test for fitting the Gaussian distribution will be around 10%. If 30 days are used, the α value in the significance level test is only 5% (calculated using the Andrew test), and the pvalue values ​​in the chi-square test are all above 0.7. The obtained distribution verification result satisfies the distribution fitting requirements. In addition, if the distribution of discrete voltage data is verified according to different methods, both the pvalue value and the significance level α of the verification means need to meet the requirements.

[0070] Furthermore, by adjusting the length of time, a fitting attempt is made to the skewed distribution, i.e., a preliminary fitting is performed. The standard deviation value after fitting is observed to see whether the value tends to be stable after a certain period of time, thereby determining the inflection point.

[0071] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the maximum likelihood estimation algorithm and the skewed distribution algorithm are used to determine the abnormality judgment limit value according to the inflection point position, including:

[0072] Step S31, using the maximum likelihood estimation algorithm and the skewed distribution algorithm to calculate the skewed probability density function of the data in each time period according to the inflection point position;

[0073] Step S32: determining an abnormality judgment limit value according to the skewed probability density function.

[0074] Among them, after determining the inflection point position, the optimal time period data can be determined at the same time, that is, the time period in which the standard deviation after the inflection point position decreases gradually slows down and tends to be stable is taken as the optimal time period, and the data corresponding to the optimal time period is the optimal time period data.

[0075] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, using the maximum likelihood estimation algorithm and the skewed distribution algorithm, the skewed probability density function of the data in each time period is calculated according to the inflection point position, including:

[0076] Step S311, determining the optimal time period data according to the inflection point position, and fitting the optimal time period data using the maximum likelihood estimation algorithm;

[0077] Step S312 , using a skewed distribution algorithm to perform skewed distribution processing on the fitted optimal time period data to obtain a skewed probability density function of the data in each time period.

[0078] Among them, the maximum likelihood estimation algorithm is used to fit the distribution of the optimal time period data, and then the skewed distribution algorithm is used to perform skewed distribution processing on the fitted optimal time period data to obtain the skewed probability density function of the data in each time period.

[0079] Specifically, a skewed distribution refers to a frequency distribution of variable values ​​that deviates from symmetry. The degree of deviation can be expressed as a coefficient of deviation. In a skewed distribution, if the shape of the probability density function is tilted to the left, it is called a left-skewed distribution (negatively skewed distribution), and if it is tilted to the right, it is called a right-skewed distribution (positively skewed distribution).

[0080] Furthermore, based on the skewed probability density function, we select a threshold value for determining anomalies, namely the anomaly judgment threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, it is considered that the submodule has exceeded the distribution during this period. However, the distribution is likely due to random probability distribution. To reduce this effect, we use a sliding window to continuously calculate the time period when determining anomalies.

[0081] Specifically, a preset sliding window is used to perform continuous calculations over time periods, generating a set of results (with repeated times within each time period). The continuity and duration of a module's exceeding the distribution impact within the continuous calculation results are used to determine whether submodule voltage instability has occurred. This allows for voltage anomaly detection of the flexible DC converter valve submodule, resulting in a voltage anomaly detection result that includes both normal and abnormal results.

[0082] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the biased distribution-based diagnosis of voltage anomalies in flexible DC converter valve submodules can be linked to anomaly detection and fault diagnosis technologies in power systems. In the field of power systems, there are some similarities or analogies with the diagnosis of voltage anomalies in flexible DC converter valve submodules. The following are some related existing technologies:

[0083] Statistical analysis method: Distribution-based anomaly detection methods usually use statistical analysis techniques such as mean, variance, Gaussian distribution, etc. Then, by monitoring the actual voltage data, check whether it deviates significantly from the historical value to identify anomalies.

[0084] Machine learning technology: Machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machines (SVMs) and neural networks, are used to train and classify voltage data from flexible DC converter valve submodules to identify normal and abnormal conditions. These algorithms can learn patterns of voltage anomalies from large amounts of data and perform classification and diagnosis during real-time monitoring.

[0085] Bayesian Network: A Bayesian network is a probabilistic graphical model that describes the dependencies between the voltage of the flexible direct current converter submodule and other related variables. Bayesian network inference enables anomaly detection and diagnosis, while taking into account the complex relationships between multiple factors.

[0086] State Estimation and Kalman Filtering: State estimation techniques and Kalman filtering methods use system dynamic models and measurement data to estimate the actual state of the flexible DC converter valve submodule voltage and compare it with the expected state. Deviations between the actual state and the expected state may indicate an abnormal situation.

[0087] These technologies can all be used to diagnose abnormal voltages in flexible DC converter valve submodules, but they require appropriate adjustments and optimization based on specific system characteristics and data availability. Furthermore, since flexible DC technology has only been around for a short time and data accumulation is limited, the practical application of these methods remains to be verified. Therefore, when selecting the most appropriate technology, it is necessary to consider system complexity, data availability, and actual application requirements.

[0088] Therefore, there are currently few fault diagnosis algorithms for flexible DC converter valves, and most of them are based on data indicator threshold judgment methods based on mechanisms and defect manifestations. No other fault diagnosis methods based on flexible DC converter valve data and statistical algorithms have been found.

[0089] In this embodiment, for the submodule voltage of discrete voltage data, only five maximum and minimum values ​​are obtained at each moment. To determine whether the data is usable, preliminary regularity verification of the data is required, and the method is as follows.

[0090] (1) Count the number of occurrences of all data and make sure that the number of occurrences of each submodule of the same valve tower in the long-term data is not much different. The statistical example is shown in Table 1.

[0091] (2) Verify the distribution of the statistical data of the same valve tower over a period of time to see if it meets the requirements. The verification example is as follows. If 14 days are used, the α value of the significance level test for fitting the Gaussian distribution will be around 10%. If 30 days are used, the α value in the significance level test is only 5% (calculated using the Andrew test). The p-value values ​​in the chi-square test are all above 0.7, which meets the distribution fitting requirements. Verify the original data distribution according to different methods so that the p-value value and significance level α of the verification method meet the requirements.

[0092] (3) Try to fit the skewed distribution by adjusting the length of time, and observe the value of the standard deviation after fitting to see whether the value tends to be stable after a certain period of time, such as Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 It can be seen that 15 days after September 15 (the optimal time period), the rate of decline of the standard deviation gradually slows down and tends to be stable. This time period is the inflection point.

[0093] After the above verification conditions are met, the distribution of the original discrete voltage data can be fitted by using the maximum likelihood estimation method based on the obtained optimal time period (the inflection point position obtained by the above (3)).

[0094] Among them, maximum likelihood estimation means that given a probability distribution D, its probability density function (continuous distribution) or probability aggregation function (discrete distribution) is assumed to be f D , and a distribution parameter θ, a sample with n values ​​X1,X2,...,X can be drawn from this distribution n , by using f D , we can calculate its probability.

[0095] P=(x1,x2,..,x n )=f D (x1,x2,...,x n |θ) (1)

[0096] But we may not know the value of θ, even though we know that the sampled data comes from distribution D. So how can we estimate θ? A natural idea is to draw a sample X1, X2, ..., X with n values ​​from this distribution. n , and then use these sampled data to estimate θ.

[0097] Once obtained, an estimate of θ can be found from it. Maximum likelihood estimation will find the most likely value of θ (that is, among all possible values ​​of θ, find a value that maximizes the "likelihood" of this sample). This method is different from some other estimation methods, such as unbiased estimation of θ. Unbiased estimation does not necessarily output the most likely value, but rather outputs a value of θ that is neither overestimated nor underestimated.

[0098] To implement the maximum likelihood estimation method mathematically, we first need to define the likelihood:

[0099] lik(θ)=f D (x1,x2,..,x n |θ) (2)

[0100] And over all values ​​of θ, this function is maximized. The value that maximizes the likelihood is called the maximum likelihood estimate of θ.

[0101] Furthermore, skewed distribution, also known as crooked distribution, refers to the frequency distribution of variable values ​​that deviates from symmetry, and the degree of deviation can be expressed by the deviation coefficient. In a skewed distribution, if the shape of the probability density function tilts to the left, it is called a left-skewed distribution (negatively skewed distribution), and if it tilts to the right, it is called a right-skewed distribution (positively skewed distribution). The tail of a left-skewed distribution is mainly concentrated on the left, while the tail of a right-skewed distribution is concentrated on the right. These two skewed distributions can be expressed by the following formulas:

[0102]

[0103] Using the above methods, we calculate the skewed probability density function of the data for each time period. Based on this probability density function, we select a threshold value (tentatively set at 3σ) to identify anomalies. If this threshold value is exceeded, it is considered that the module has exceeded the distribution during this period. However, this is likely due to random probability distribution. To mitigate this effect, we use a sliding window to perform continuous calculations over time periods when determining anomalies. This results in a set of results (with repeated periods within each time period), known as the continuous calculation results. The consistency and duration of a module's exceeding the distribution in the continuous calculation results are used to determine whether a submodule voltage instability anomaly has occurred.

[0104] Among them, such as Figures 6A-6C As shown in the figure, the distribution changes when a submodule is bypassed (the horizontal axis shows the number of times the number reaches its maximum (or minimum) value in the time period, and the vertical axis shows the number of modules corresponding to this number). As can be seen, number 106 gradually falls out of the distribution due to being bypassed, and can be clearly captured by the method of the present invention.

[0105] Further, such as Figures 7A-7CAnother set of schematic diagrams is shown. It can be seen that No. 69 gradually deviates from the distribution. Compared with the previous example, the value of No. 69 does not deviate too much from other modules, and does not exceed its rated voltage. The present invention can capture emergencies and potential influencing factors that are difficult to find through this means, while meeting the functions of status monitoring and equipment early warning.

[0106] The present invention uses discrete data of the flexible direct current converter valve submodule voltage, and according to the potential distribution relationship in the data, uses an algorithm to find the potential rules and finds the potential persistent problems of the flexible direct current converter valve submodule through a sliding window method, and issues an alarm for potential problems, effectively preventing submodule failures.

[0107] In summary, the present invention uses statistical thinking and anomaly detection algorithms to propose a basis for judging submodule voltage anomalies. Through the above steps, fault warning of flexible direct current submodules is achieved. The specific advantages are as follows:

[0108] 1) Use smaller and more discrete data

[0109] The present invention can use a smaller amount of data (a total of 10 measuring points with a maximum and minimum value) than the total number of sub-modules of each valve tower (generally more than 100 measuring points) to perform calculations, and does not require the use of massive data for anomaly detection, thereby solving the problems of difficult data storage and low algorithm calculation efficiency.

[0110] 2) Fault diagnosis and early warning of flexible direct current converter valves through algorithms

[0111] At present, most algorithms for flexible direct current converter valves are state monitoring or formula mechanism deduction, and there are not many algorithms. In addition, since flexible direct current technology is a new technology that has only been put into practical use recently, there are very few problems with fault cases. The present invention starts from the relationship that should exist between sub-modules, studies the potential relationship of the data, and uses statistical methods to evaluate the distribution of sub-module data, and can simultaneously realize the functions of fault diagnosis and fault warning.

[0112] 3) Effective early warning measures for flexible DC converter valves

[0113] Currently, flexible DC converters are based on state monitoring and formula mechanism derivation, and cannot obtain effective early warning strategies. By studying the potential relationship between data, the present invention can promptly identify the potential imbalance of sub-module voltages and provide timely warnings, which can effectively reduce the damage frequency of sub-module equipment.

[0114] 4) Use self-learning method to self-iterate fault diagnosis model

[0115] During actual operation, the present invention can conduct self-learning based on the continuity of the model's abnormal judgment of data, and continuously strengthen its ability to judge abnormal situations of concern to operation and maintenance personnel through the probability judgment of the original model according to the repair of module abnormal situations, and continuously repair its own handling of misjudgment situations.

[0116] like Figure 8 FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a device for detecting abnormal voltage of a flexible direct current converter valve submodule according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device shown in the figure includes:

[0117] The distribution verification module 10 is used to obtain discrete voltage data of the flexible direct current converter valve submodule, perform distribution verification on the discrete voltage data, and obtain a distribution verification result;
