Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of switch safety identification technology for circuit breaker equipment, and more specifically, relates to a method for switch safety identification of circuit breaker equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of power systems and the widespread application of smart grids, circuit breakers, as key equipment in medium-voltage distribution networks, directly affect the safe and stable operation of the power system due to their operational reliability. In practical applications, circuit breakers frequently perform opening and closing operations, making them prone to various fault modes, such as mechanical jamming, contact erosion, and spring failure. These faults not only cause circuit breakers to malfunction but may also trigger more serious accidents, resulting in large-scale power outages and equipment damage. Therefore, timely and accurate identification of circuit breaker fault modes is of great significance.

[0003] Currently, circuit breaker fault diagnosis mainly relies on regular maintenance and on-site manual inspections. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to detect potential faults in a timely manner. In recent years, with the advancement of sensing and signal processing technologies, fault diagnosis methods based on vibration signals, acoustic emission signals, and current signals have gradually emerged. However, these methods often focus only on a single type of signal, making it difficult to comprehensively reflect the operating status of the circuit breaker. Furthermore, most existing fault diagnosis algorithms are based on traditional signal processing techniques and simple classification models, which often result in unsatisfactory diagnostic accuracy and reliability when faced with complex fault modes.

[0004] In practical applications, circuit breakers operate in complex and variable environments with numerous external interference factors, making it difficult for a single type of data to accurately reflect the true state of the circuit breaker. Furthermore, circuit breaker fault modes are diverse and complex, often manifesting as abnormal combinations of multiple parameters. Existing technologies struggle to effectively handle these complex fault characteristics, leading to high rates of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Summary of the Invention

The safety threshold is preset to 0.8.

[0076] The specific implementation methods of the above steps are described in detail below:

[0077] The specific implementation of step S10 is as follows: First, high-precision voltage transformers and current transformers are installed to collect three-phase voltage and current waveform data of the circuit breaker. Second, Hall effect current sensors and voltage sensors are installed on the switching mechanism to collect the operating current and voltage waveforms of the switching mechanism. Third, miniature current and voltage sensors are installed at the contacts to collect the current and voltage parameters during the opening and closing process of the contacts. Then, displacement sensors, velocity sensors, and acceleration sensors are installed on the switching mechanism to collect the displacement, velocity, and acceleration curves of the switching mechanism. Finally, vibration sensors are installed on the springs and dampers of the circuit breaker to collect vibration signals. The sampling frequency is set to 10kHz, and the sampling duration is 1 second. A low-pass filter is used to eliminate high-frequency noise during data acquisition, and the cutoff frequency is set to 5kHz. The acquired data is converted from analog to digital and stored in a high-speed cache for subsequent processing. The purpose of this step is to obtain comprehensive data during the operation of the circuit breaker, providing a basis for subsequent analysis.

[0078] The specific implementation of step S20 is as follows: Based on the data collected in step S10, a set of electrical quantity equations is established. First, the three-phase voltage and current waveforms are analyzed using Fourier transform to extract the fundamental and harmonic components, and three-phase voltage and current equations are established. Considering the influence of the 5th, 7th, and 11th harmonics, the harmonic order N is set to 11. Then, based on the operating characteristics of the switching mechanism, the operating current and voltage equations of the switching mechanism are established, considering the influence of inductance, resistance, and back electromotive force. Finally, based on the physical model of the contact opening and closing process, the current and voltage equations for the contact opening and closing process are established, considering arc characteristics and contact material characteristics. The parameters in the equation set are obtained by fitting measured data using the least squares method. The purpose of this step is to establish a mathematical model that accurately reflects the electrical characteristics of the circuit breaker, laying the foundation for subsequent analysis.

[0079] The specific implementation of step S30 is as follows: Based on the data collected in step S10, a set of mechanical quantity equations is established. First, the displacement, velocity, and acceleration data of the switching mechanism are fitted using the least squares method to establish the displacement, velocity, and acceleration equations of the switching mechanism. The effects of friction, spring force, and driving force are considered. Then, time-frequency analysis is performed on the vibration signal of the circuit breaker spring to extract the main vibration modes and establish the vibration equation of the circuit breaker spring. Finally, nonlinear system identification is performed on the vibration signal of the circuit breaker damper to establish the vibration equation of the circuit breaker damper, considering nonlinear damping characteristics. The parameters in the equation set are obtained through optimization using a genetic algorithm to minimize the error between the model prediction and the measured values. The purpose of this step is to establish a mathematical model that accurately reflects the mechanical characteristics of the circuit breaker, providing a basis for subsequent analysis.

[0080] The specific implementation of step S40 is as follows: The electrical quantity equations established in step S20 are numerically solved. First, for the three-phase voltage and three-phase current equations, the peak values ​​are directly calculated by substituting the time variable. Then, for the switching mechanism operating current and operating voltage equations, the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is used for numerical integration, with a time step of 0.1 ms. Finally, for the contact opening and closing process current and voltage equations, since the equations are rigid, the backward difference method is used for solving, with the time step adaptively adjusted, ranging from 0.01 ms to 0.1 ms. During the solution process, the Newton-Raphson method is used to handle nonlinear terms. Through numerical solution, the peak values ​​of the three-phase voltage and three-phase current, the maximum value of the switching mechanism operating current, the maximum value of the switching mechanism operating voltage, the maximum value of the contact opening and closing process current, and the maximum value of the contact opening and closing process voltage are obtained. The purpose of this step is to obtain the specific values ​​of key electrical parameters during circuit breaker operation, providing a quantitative basis for fault diagnosis.

[0081] The specific implementation of step S50 is as follows: The mechanical quantity equations established in step S30 are numerically solved. First, for the displacement, velocity, and acceleration equations of the switching mechanism, a fifth-order Runge-Kutta method with variable step size is used for numerical integration, with an initial step size of 0.1 ms and an error tolerance of 1e-6. Then, for the circuit breaker spring vibration equation, the Newmark-β method is used for solution, with β set to 0.25, γ set to 0.5, and a time step of 0.1 ms. Finally, for the circuit breaker damper vibration equation, due to the presence of strong nonlinearity, a prediction-correction method is used for solution. The prediction step uses the fourth-order Adams-Bashforth formula, and the correction step uses the fourth-order Adams-Moulton formula, with a time step of 0.1 ms. Through numerical solution, the maximum displacement, maximum velocity, maximum acceleration of the switching mechanism, the vibration frequency of the circuit breaker spring, and the vibration amplitude of the circuit breaker damper are obtained. The purpose of this step is to obtain the specific values ​​of key mechanical parameters during circuit breaker operation, providing a quantitative basis for fault diagnosis.

[0082] The specific implementation of step S60 is as follows: The electrical quantity equations established in step S20 are solved analytically. First, the analytical solutions for the three-phase voltage and three-phase current equations are directly written. Then, the Laplace transform method is used to solve the operating current and voltage equations of the switching mechanism, considering the influence of initial conditions. Finally, the perturbation method is used to perform an approximate analytical solution for the contact opening and closing process, expanding to second-order terms. The parameters in the analytical solution are obtained by fitting measured data using the least squares method. Then, the preset initial electrical quantity conditions are substituted into the analytical solution to obtain multiple electrical quantity ranges. The initial conditions are set based on statistical analysis of a large amount of historical data, such as the range of the initial phase angle of the three-phase voltage being [-π / 6, π / 6], and the range of the initial current of the switching mechanism being [0.8In, 1.2In], where In is the rated current. The purpose of this step is to obtain the theoretical variation range of the circuit breaker's electrical parameters, providing a benchmark for identifying abnormal states.

[0083] The specific implementation of step S70 is as follows: The mechanical quantity equations established in step S30 are solved analytically. First, for the displacement, velocity, and acceleration equations of the switching mechanism, the homogeneous equations are solved using the characteristic root method, and then the non-homogeneous equations are solved using the constant variation method. Next, for the circuit breaker spring vibration equation, the separation of variables method is used, considering the influence of boundary conditions. Finally, for the circuit breaker damper vibration equation, the harmonic equilibrium method is used for approximate analytical solution, retaining only the third harmonic term. The parameters in the analytical solution are obtained by fitting measured data using a particle swarm optimization algorithm. Then, the preset initial mechanical quantity conditions are substituted into the analytical solution to obtain multiple mechanical quantity ranges. The initial conditions are set based on equipment specifications and historical operating data, such as the initial displacement range of the switching mechanism being [-1mm, 1mm], and the initial compression range of the spring being [0.9L0, 1.1L0], where L0 is the free length of the spring. The purpose of this step is to obtain the theoretical variation range of the circuit breaker's mechanical parameters, providing a benchmark for identifying abnormal states.

[0084] The specific implementation of step S80 is as follows: First, the multiple electrical quantity numerical solutions and multiple mechanical quantity numerical solutions obtained in steps S40 and S50 are subjected to maximum-minimum normalization processing, mapping each parameter value to the interval [0,1]. Then, the maximum and minimum values ​​of the multiple electrical quantity ranges and multiple mechanical quantity ranges obtained in steps S60 and S70 are taken and subjected to maximum-minimum normalization processing respectively. Next, the normalized data are combined into a feature vector according to a predetermined order. In order to reduce the dimensionality of the feature vector and extract the main features, the principal component analysis (PCA) method is used for feature extraction. In the PCA process, the covariance matrix of the feature vector is first calculated, and then the eigenvalues ​​and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix are solved. The top k principal components with a cumulative contribution rate of 95% are selected, and the original feature vector is projected onto these k principal components to obtain the dimensionality-reduced feature matrix. If the PCA effect is not ideal, the kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) method is used, and a Gaussian kernel function is used for nonlinear feature extraction. The purpose of this step is to transform complex multidimensional data into a low-dimensional feature matrix that is easy to analyze, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent fault identification.

[0085] The specific implementation of step S90 is as follows: First, a multilayer perceptron neural network is constructed as a fault mode recognition model for the circuit breaker switch opening and closing. This neural network includes one input layer, two hidden layers, and one output layer. The number of neurons in the input layer is the same as the number of columns in the feature matrix. The number of neurons in the first hidden layer is 1.5 times that of the input layer, the number of neurons in the second hidden layer is 0.75 times that of the input layer, and the number of neurons in the output layer is the same as the number of predefined fault modes. The hidden layers use the ReLU activation function, and the output layer uses the Softmax activation function. Then, the feature matrix obtained in step S80 is input into the neural network. After forward propagation calculation, the result of the output layer is obtained, which is the fault mode vector. Each element represents the probability of the corresponding fault mode. Finally, the fault mode vector is output to the maintenance personnel, along with the three fault modes with the highest probabilities and their corresponding probability values. If the highest probability value is lower than a preset threshold (e.g., 0.7), it indicates that there may be an unknown fault mode, and further investigation is recommended. The purpose of this step is to quickly identify the fault modes of the circuit breaker based on the extracted features, providing a basis for decision-making for maintenance personnel.

[0225] This is a linear second-order differential equation, and its homogeneous solution is:

[0226]

[0227] in D_1 and D_2 are determined by the initial conditions.

[0228] The particular solution depends on the specific form of F_s(t). Assuming F_s(t) = F_0 (a constant), the particular solution takes the form:

[0249] Summarize:

[0250] 1. For linear equations, a complete analytical solution can be obtained.

[0251] 2. For nonlinear equations, a linearization approximation is used to obtain an approximate analytical solution.

[0252] 3. In practical applications, it may be necessary to combine numerical methods to obtain more accurate solutions and range estimates.

[0253] 4. Range calculation takes into account the effects of random disturbances, and the 3σ principle is usually used to estimate the range.

[0254] 5. The preset initial conditions and parameter values ​​are based on assumptions and need to be adjusted according to the specific characteristics of the circuit breaker in actual applications.

[0255] 6. For complex coupled systems, it may be necessary to consider the mutual influence between the equations, which may require more advanced mathematical tools or numerical methods to handle.

[0256] These analytical solutions and range calculations provide a theoretical basis for fault mode identification of circuit breaker switching. In practical applications, it may be necessary to combine experimental data and statistical analysis to further optimize the model and parameter estimation.

[0257] Specifically, the principle of this invention is:

[0258] First, this method employs the concept of multi-source data fusion. By simultaneously collecting electrical and mechanical data, comprehensive monitoring of the circuit breaker's status is achieved. Electrical data includes three-phase voltage and current, as well as electrical parameters of the switching mechanism and contacts; these data reflect the circuit breaker's electrical performance and breaking capacity. Mechanical data includes the motion parameters of the switching mechanism and vibration signals from springs and dampers; these data reflect the circuit breaker's mechanical performance and operating characteristics. The integrated analysis of multi-source data provides a more comprehensive and accurate reflection of the circuit breaker's operating status, effectively avoiding the bias and inaccuracies that may result from a single data source.

[0259] Secondly, this method establishes an accurate mathematical model. By establishing sets of electrical and mechanical equations, the dynamic characteristics of the circuit breaker during opening and closing are accurately described. These equations consider various complex factors, such as nonlinear effects, random disturbances, and system coupling, and can more realistically reflect the physical process of the circuit breaker. Numerical and analytical solutions to the equations not only yield specific values ​​for key parameters but also their theoretical ranges of variation. This dual-solution method provides more fault characteristic information, which is beneficial for improving the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis.

[0260] Furthermore, this method employs advanced data processing and feature extraction techniques. Normalization eliminates the influence of different dimensions among parameters, ensuring comparability of features in subsequent analyses. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) enables dimensionality reduction and feature extraction from high-dimensional data. PCA identifies the main directions of change in the data, retains the most important information, and removes redundancy and noise. This not only reduces the computational complexity of subsequent processing but also improves the representativeness and discriminative power of the features.

[0261] Finally, this method uses a multilayer perceptron neural network as the fault identification model. Neural networks possess powerful nonlinear mapping capabilities and self-learning abilities, enabling them to effectively handle complex fault modes. Through a multilayer structure and nonlinear activation functions, the neural network can learn and represent complex feature combinations, adapting to the diversity and complexity of circuit breaker fault modes. This allows the model to directly output the probabilities of various fault modes, providing reliable quantitative indicators for fault diagnosis.

[0262] The technical solution of this invention is logically sound, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0263] 1. From data acquisition to feature extraction and then to fault identification, a complete fault diagnosis process has been constructed, with each link closely connected and logically rigorous.

[0264] 2. The electrical and mechanical characteristics of the circuit breaker are taken into account, and it conforms to the working principle and fault mechanism of the circuit breaker.

[0265] 3. The mathematical model and data processing methods used have a solid theoretical foundation and can effectively extract fault characteristics.

[0266] 4. The machine learning model used is suitable for handling complex nonlinear problems, which matches the needs of circuit breaker fault diagnosis.

[0267] In summary, the technical solution of this invention, through the organic combination of multi-source data fusion, precise mathematical modeling, advanced data processing, and intelligent recognition algorithms, constructs a comprehensive, accurate, and efficient circuit breaker fault diagnosis system, which can effectively solve the problems existing in the prior art and improve the accuracy and reliability of circuit breaker fault diagnosis.

[0278] All sensors are connected to a central data acquisition unit, model WY-DAQ1000. The sampling rate of this unit is set to 10kHz to ensure that rapid transient changes during circuit breaker operation are captured.

[0279] 2. Data Acquisition Process

[0280] During a routine operation test, the operator performed opening and closing operations on circuit breaker No. 1. The data acquisition system recorded various parameters throughout the process. The following is a partial list of the acquired data (which has undergone preliminary processing, with a sampling interval of 1ms), as shown in Table 1:

[0281] Table 1 Data Collection Table

[0282]

[0283]

[0284] (Note: The complete dataset contains 1000 data points, covering the entire opening and closing process.)

[0285] 3. Equation Establishment and Solution

[0286] Based on the collected data, the system established a set of equations for electrical quantities and a set of equations for mechanical quantities.

[0287] These equations were solved using numerical methods (fourth-order Runge-Kutta method), and numerical and analytical solutions for each parameter were obtained.

[0288] 4. Determining the parameter range

[0289] By substituting the analytical solution into the preset initial conditions, the system obtained the range of each parameter:

[0290] Three-phase voltage peak range: [7800V, 8600V];

[0291] Three-phase current peak range: [950A, 1050A];

[0292] Maximum operating current range of the switching mechanism: [65A, 150A];

[0293] Maximum operating voltage range of the switching mechanism: [180V, 230V];

[0294] Maximum current range during contact opening and closing process: [450A, 1650A];

[0295] Maximum voltage range during contact opening and closing process: [450V, 1600V];

[0296] Maximum displacement range of the switching mechanism: [-0.05m, 0.05m];

[0297] Maximum speed range of the switching mechanism: [-5 m / s, 5 m / s];

[0299] Circuit breaker spring vibration frequency range: [190 rad / s, 210 rad / s];

[0300] Vibration amplitude range of circuit breaker damper: [-0.03 m, 0.03 m];

[0301] 5. Data Normalization and Feature Extraction

[0302] The system normalizes the obtained numerical solutions and the maximum and minimum values ​​within the range, ensuring that all parameter values ​​fall within the [0,1] interval. Then, the system uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to extract features from the normalized data.

[0303] PCA analysis showed that the first five principal components explained 95% of the data variance. The system retained these five principal components, forming a 5x1000 feature matrix.

[0304] 6. Application of Fault Mode Recognition Model

[0305] A circuit breaker switch opening and closing fault mode recognition model based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) was trained. This model can identify the following 10 fault modes:

[0306] Normal operation, mechanical jamming, spring fatigue, damper failure, contact erosion, operating mechanism failure, auxiliary switch failure, coil failure, secondary circuit failure, insulation deterioration.

[0307] The system inputs the extracted feature matrix into this pre-trained SVM model. The model outputs a 10-dimensional fault mode vector:

[0308] [0.02,0.92,0.01,0.01,0.01,0.01,0.01,0.01,0.00,0.00];

[0309] This vector represents the probability of various fault modes. Based on the output, the system determines that the operating state of circuit breaker No. 1 is mechanical jamming, with a probability of 92%. Since the set safety threshold is 0.8, this indicates that the circuit breaker has low safety.
