Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of arc discharge technology for oil-immersed power transformers, and in particular to a lightweight identification method for arc discharge modes in oil based on DSCNN. Background Technology
[0002] Arc discharge is one of the most serious faults in oil-immersed power transformers, posing a significant threat to national economic development and the safe operation of the power system. When arc discharge develops into a long-gap arc discharge stage, the accumulated discharge is already substantial, and serious equipment failure is almost inevitable. To reduce safety hazards and equipment damage, prevention is necessary when the discharge develops into a short-gap arc discharge or even an electric spark discharge stage. After an arc discharge fault occurs in a transformer, the violent reaction generates various physical and chemical signals, including acoustic, optical, thermal, and other signals. Utilizing online monitoring technology to acquire these signals in real time and explore their generation mechanisms and evolution patterns is a crucial approach for preventative maintenance.
[0003] Furthermore, discharge pattern recognition can quickly and accurately locate defect locations and optimize maintenance strategies in a timely manner. In the field of pattern recognition, artificial intelligence algorithms based on machine learning / deep learning have been extensively studied, such as k-means clustering, support vector machines, Markov models, k-nearest neighbors, and random decision forests. Considering the high danger of arc discharge, rapid identification of its fault types is crucial. However, in some application scenarios, such as embedded systems or mobile maintenance equipment, available computing resources and storage space are very limited. This necessitates that arc discharge fault diagnosis models ensure high accuracy while also minimizing model complexity and data size to operate within limited resources.
[0004] Current research on arc discharge diagnosis mainly focuses on long-gap arc discharge, while research on pattern recognition for short-gap arc discharge and arc discharge caused by different defects is scarce. Existing discharge pattern recognition methods are mostly aimed at partial discharge, which are slow in detection speed, require large computational scale, and have high computer configuration requirements, making them unable to effectively address the challenges of arc discharge faults. There is an urgent need to propose a new lightweight short-gap arc discharge pattern recognition method to resolve the contradiction between the high speed required for arc discharge pattern recognition in online monitoring and the slow speed of existing recognition methods, which are not applicable to arc discharge faults.
[0005] The information disclosed in the background section is only for enhancing the understanding of the background of this invention, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a lightweight identification method for arc discharge patterns in oil based on DSCNN. It uses a lightweight deep separable convolutional neural network model to mine the time-frequency spectrum of the discharge signal, achieving fast and simple discharge pattern identification. This solves the contradiction between the requirement for fast arc discharge pattern identification in online monitoring and the slow speed of existing identification methods, which are not applicable to arc discharge faults.
[0007] A lightweight method for identifying arc discharge patterns in oil based on DSCNN includes:
[0008] Step 1: Conduct short-gap oil arc discharge test experiments on oil-immersed power transformers;
[0009] Step 2: Use sensors to collect the discharge time-domain data of the arc discharge test experiment, perform wavelet transform on it, and generate a time-frequency spectrum;
[0010] Step 3: Divide the time-frequency spectrum into a training set and a test set. Use the training set to train a lightweight deep separable convolutional neural network model. The lightweight deep separable convolutional neural network model decomposes the standard convolution operation into two parts: depthwise convolution and pointwise convolution. Regularization and activation functions are added after both depthwise convolution and pointwise convolution to form a DSCNN module. Use the test set to test the trained model and record the first training parameters.
[0011] Step 4: Train a conventional convolutional neural network model using the training set, test the trained model using the test set, and record the second training parameters. The convolutional neural network model includes convolution, pooling, and fully connected operations. Step 5: By comparing the first and second training parameters, the lightweight depthwise separable convolutional neural network model has smaller parameter size, less computation, and shorter inference time when performing short-gap arc discharge pattern recognition in oil. This confirms the lightweight advantage of the DSCNN-based short-gap arc discharge pattern recognition method, meeting the requirements of online monitoring.
[0012] The lightweight identification method for arc discharge modes in oil based on DSCNN includes conducting short-gap arc discharge test experiments in oil-immersed power transformers. The test platform is constructed by setting up an arc discharge test platform in oil. An AC power supply is applied to the sealed discharge platform by a voltage regulator.

[0014] In the aforementioned lightweight identification method for arc discharge modes in oil based on DSCNN, step 2 involves collecting voltage, current, ultrasonic, oil pressure, and ultra-high frequency time-domain signals from the arc discharge test experiment, and generating corresponding time-frequency spectra through wavelet transform.
[0015] In the lightweight recognition method for arc discharge patterns in oil based on DSCNN, a lightweight deep separable convolutional neural network model is trained using a training set. The input layer compresses the time-frequency spectrum to 64 pixels × 64 pixels before feeding it to the convolutional layer. The convolutional layer first captures the global structure and preliminary features of the time-frequency spectrum through convolutional kernels, then extracts deep features through four DSCNN modules, performs downsampling through pooling, and concatenates tensors using the torch.cat() method. The obtained features are then fed to a fully connected layer. Two fully connected layers classify the extracted features, and the classification results are fed to the output layer. The output layer uses the Softmax function to output the predicted probability, thus achieving the recognition task.
[0016] In the lightweight identification method for arc discharge patterns in oil based on DSCNN, the training set trains a conventional convolutional neural network model. The network structure consists of an input layer, a convolutional layer, a pooling layer, a fully connected layer, and an output layer connected to each other. The first training parameter and the second training parameter each include the recognition accuracy, parameter size, computational cost, model size, and inference time, respectively.
[0017] In the lightweight identification method for arc discharge patterns in oil based on DSCNN, after training, if the identification accuracy of the test set is greater than 80%, the training parameters are recorded; if the identification accuracy of the test set is less than 80%, the learning rate is manually modified and retraining is performed.
[0018] In the lightweight identification method for arc discharge modes in oil based on DSCNN, the algorithm for generating time-frequency spectra from time-domain signals through wavelet transform is as follows:
[0019] ,in, Represents time-domain signal In time and scale wavelet transform value at, It is the mother wavelet function. For the complex conjugate of the mother wavelet function, It is a scale parameter. It is the time shift parameter.
[0020] In the lightweight identification method for arc discharge modes in oil based on DSCNN, in step 3, the regularization process selects the batch normalization module to perform normalization and regularization processing.
[0021] In the lightweight identification method for arc discharge modes in oil based on DSCNN, in step 3, the activation function is the ReLU6 function, and the expression of the ReLU6 function is: , where x is the output value of the activation function, and max() and min() functions are used to find the maximum and minimum values of the sequence, respectively.
[0022] In the lightweight identification method for arc discharge modes in oil based on DSCNN, the ReLU6 function restricts the output value by truncating values greater than 6.
[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following advantages: By adopting a deep separable convolutional neural network, introducing regularization, and improving activation functions, the present invention achieves lightweight data processing, improves inference speed while ensuring high recognition accuracy, and reduces the requirements for equipment computing power, and is expected to be promoted in the field of arc discharge fault identification and online monitoring.
