Description

Technical Field

How to extract useful knowledge from these complex and seemingly unrelated data to guide the safe and stable operation of power generation equipment has become a research topic, and data mining technology has emerged. The various types and dimensions of data obtained from online monitoring, regular monitoring and irregular monitoring are monitored through data mining technology to monitor their internal regular characteristics, and deeply analyze the operating data of hydropower unit components under different working conditions, including collecting historical operating data of hydropower unit components within a preset period of time. According to different working conditions, the historical operating data is divided into several sets, and the data is graded and classified through the model algorithm and data fusion is performed, and the fixed threshold diagnosis is changed, so as to achieve real-time dynamic fault diagnosis of hydropower equipment and better reflect the actual situation of the unit.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, and provides a fault diagnosis method for a hydropower unit based on digital twins, comprising:

[0041] S1: Collect and pre-process relevant data of hydropower units.

[0043] Furthermore, the collected hydropower unit related data include fixed parameter data, variable data sets (such as the set of current, voltage, and frequency during the start-up and shutdown processes; high-speed sampling data sets such as oscillation waveforms), real-time data, historical data, and recorded data.

[0044] Furthermore, the collected data is stored in the modes of structured data, unstructured data, message data, platform basic data, etc.

[0045] Furthermore, redundant data from multiple systems are integrated, duplicate data is eliminated, and merge rules are set to merge data from multiple data sources to ensure data consistency.

[0046] S2: Construct a three-dimensional twin model based on the preprocessed data of the hydropower unit.

[0047] Specifically, digital twin technology is used to carry out three-dimensional modeling of hydropower equipment, and to develop a three-dimensional image engine and a twin algorithm engine.

[0048] Furthermore, a three-dimensional digital twin model of the hydropower unit is constructed to realize real-time feedback simulation of the digital twin on the physical entity, while realizing real-time interaction and mutual mapping between the digital twin and the physical entity.

[0049] Furthermore, constructing the three-dimensional twin model includes mapping the preprocessed hydropower unit related data into the three-dimensional space. The mapping formula is as follows:

[0050]

[0051] Where F(·) represents the multivariate mapping function, αi represents the weighting coefficient, represents the standardized data of the hydropower unit, x, y, z are spatial coordinates, u, v, w are integral variables, σ ui ,σ vi ,σ wi are the standard deviations of each subcomponent data in the mapping function.

[0052] Preferably, high-dimensional data is mapped to three-dimensional space for intuitive understanding and analysis. The use of multivariate mapping functions can capture the nonlinear relationship between data, and the weighting coefficients can be used to highlight important features and suppress minor features.

[0053] Furthermore, the formula for generating a three-dimensional twin model through a multivariate mapping function is as follows:

[0054]

[0055] Among them, T(x,y,z) represents the output of the three-dimensional twin model, x, y, z are spatial coordinates, and x′, y′, z′ all represent integral variables.

[0056] Preferably, the output of the three-dimensional twin model is directly generated to facilitate subsequent analysis and visualization; through integration, the continuity and smoothness of the three-dimensional twin model in space are ensured.

[0057] S3: Use the simulation data generated by the 3D twin model, combined with the processed hydropower unit-related data and historical fault data, to build a fault diagnosis model.

[0058] Specifically, constructing a fault diagnosis model includes calculating the comprehensive imbalance amount, machine learning prediction values, and expert experience fusion results, integrating the calculation of the comprehensive imbalance amount, machine learning prediction values, and expert experience fusion results, and introducing a three-dimensional twin model to obtain a fault diagnosis model.

[0059] Furthermore, the magnetic pull imbalance data at different time points, the rotor mass imbalance data at different time points and the hydraulic imbalance data at different time points are obtained, and the magnetic pull imbalance, rotor mass imbalance and hydraulic imbalance are calculated. After the three imbalances are normalized, the square sum of the average values ​​is taken, and the square root is calculated to obtain the comprehensive imbalance. The calculation formula of the comprehensive imbalance is as follows:

[0060]

[0061] Where V represents the comprehensive unbalance, N represents the number of magnetic pull unbalance data, and k mi represents the proportionality coefficient of the magnetic pull unbalance data of the i-th line, B 1i Indicates the first magnetic induction intensity in the i-th data, B 2iThe second magnetic induction intensity in the i-th data, M represents the number of rotor mass imbalance data, k rj represents the proportionality factor of the jth rotor mass imbalance data, m j represents the mass in the jth rotor mass imbalance data, e j represents the eccentricity in the jth rotor mass imbalance data, P represents the number of hydraulic imbalance data, k hk represents the proportionality coefficient of the kth hydraulic imbalance data, P 1k Indicates the first pressure in the kth data, P 2k Indicates the second pressure in the kth data.

[0062] Preferably, three unbalance factors, namely magnetic pull, rotor mass and hydraulic force, are considered simultaneously, which is helpful to comprehensively evaluate the operating status and potential problems of the hydropower unit; data at different time points are considered, which can reflect the dynamic changes of imbalance.

[0063] Furthermore, the historical data is converted into a historical data feature vector, the historical data feature vector is standardized using the standard deviation, and a weight is set for the historical data feature vector. The influence value of each feature is calculated using the attenuation parameter, the loss function gradient of the machine learning model is calculated, the standardized feature influence values ​​are weighted and summed, and the fault prediction value is calculated. The calculation formula of the fault prediction value is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] in, represents the fault prediction value, N represents the number of features, and w i represents the weight of the i-th feature, σ(x i ) represents the standard deviation normalization function of the i-th feature, x i represents the value of the i-th feature, α i represents the decay parameter of the i-th feature, M represents the number of features for gradient calculation in the machine learning model, and f j represents the function value of the jth feature, represents the gradient of the loss function of the parameter corresponding to the jth feature, and C represents the regularization constant.

[0066] Preferably, multiple features and the output of the machine learning model are combined, and the training information of the model is introduced using the gradient of the loss function. By considering feature weights, normalization and attenuation parameters, possible failures can be predicted more accurately.

[0067] Furthermore, expert experience rules are collected, the output values ​​and corresponding weights of the rules are determined, the influence value of each rule is calculated, the time feature is obtained, the influence value of the time feature is calculated using the attenuation parameter, and the influence values ​​of the rules and time features are weighted and summed to obtain the expert experience fusion result. The calculation formula of the expert experience fusion result is as follows:

[0068]

[0069] Among them, E represents the result of expert experience fusion, N represents the number of expert rules, and R i represents the weight of the i-th rule, E i is the output of the i-th rule, β i represents the parameter of the i-th rule, M represents the number of time-related features, and γ i represents the weight of the jth time feature, ω j represents the frequency of the jth time feature, t j represents the time of the jth time feature, κ j Represents the attenuation parameter of the j-th time feature.

[0070] Preferably, the calculation formula of the expert experience fusion result combines expert rules and time characteristics, and integrates expert experience and time factors into fault diagnosis by weighted summation, which can effectively improve the accuracy and reliability of diagnosis.

[0071] Furthermore, based on the fusion results of comprehensive imbalance, fault prediction value and expert experience, a three-dimensional twin model is introduced, and the formula of the fault diagnosis model is obtained as follows:

[0072]

[0073] Where D represents the fault diagnosis result, V represents the comprehensive unbalance value, represents the fault prediction value, E represents the expert experience fusion result, T(x, y, z) represents the output of the 3D twin model, N represents the number of data points, α i represents the attenuation parameter of the ith data point, t i The time of the i-th data point.

[0074] The optimal fault diagnosis model comprehensively considers the imbalance, fault prediction value, expert experience fusion results and three-dimensional twin model, considers the change of diagnosis results over time through time series analysis, introduces attenuation parameters to give higher weight to recent data, and captures the interaction between various factors through nonlinear combination. Taking multiple factors into consideration, it provides comprehensive and accurate fault diagnosis results.

[0075] S4: Use the three-dimensional twin model for simulation and accident inversion, combine it with the output of the fault diagnosis model, predict the operation trend of the hydropower unit equipment, and provide hydropower unit fault warning based on the prediction results.

[0076] Specifically, the use of the three-dimensional twin model for simulation and accident inversion includes: simulating the normal operating status of the hydropower unit in the three-dimensional twin model, and establishing baseline data for the normal operating status of the hydropower unit; adjusting the parameters of the three-dimensional twin model and observing the response of the three-dimensional twin model; simulating the operating status of the three-dimensional twin model under different working conditions, recording and analyzing the simulation results, and simulating various fault conditions in the three-dimensional twin model based on historical fault data; adjusting fault-related parameters, analyzing the impact of the fault on various parts of the system, and recording the fault characteristics and development process.

[0077] Furthermore, combined with the output of the fault diagnosis model, the operating trend of the hydropower unit equipment is predicted, including obtaining the output of the fault diagnosis model, judging the current operating status and fault type of the hydropower unit equipment according to the output of the fault diagnosis model; comparing the output of the fault diagnosis model with the benchmark data of the current equipment in a normal state to determine the severity of the fault; collecting the output of the fault diagnosis model within a set time, analyzing the changing trend of the output of the fault diagnosis model, judging the development direction of the fault, and completing the prediction of the operating trend of the hydropower unit equipment.

[0078] Furthermore, the fault warning of the hydropower unit based on the prediction results includes setting a warning threshold for each equipment failure of the hydropower unit based on the 3σ criterion; comparing the prediction results of the hydropower unit equipment operation trend with the warning threshold to determine whether the prediction results exceed the set warning value and determine the warning level; generating corresponding warning information according to the warning level, and displaying the warning information in a three-dimensional visualization; formulating a response strategy according to the warning level and the fault type, and sending the warning information and response strategy to relevant personnel and departments.

[0079] Furthermore, the 3σ criterion is an important concept in statistics, which is mainly used to describe the distribution of data in a normal distribution (Gaussian distribution). This criterion describes the probability of data falling within different standard deviation ranges in a normal distribution: about 68% of the data fall within one standard deviation (1σ) of the mean; about 95% of the data fall within two standard deviations (2σ) of the mean; and about 99.7% of the data fall within three standard deviations (3σ) of the mean.

[0080] Furthermore, the three-dimensional visualization display includes providing a visual human-computer interaction interface and displaying the results through legends, reports, three-dimensional and statistical analysis.

[0081] Furthermore, status monitoring is performed, thresholds of performance parameters of hydropower units are set, simulation data are compared, and the results are reflected in the monitoring and early warning interface.

[0082] Furthermore, energy efficiency analysis is conducted to analyze the core energy efficiency indicators of the unit (turbine efficiency, water consumption rate, guide vane leakage rate, water diversion loss rate, and water energy utilization rate). Energy efficiency evaluation rules for the unit are established to evaluate the energy efficiency status of the unit, and to calculate and analyze the energy indicators, stability indicators, and temperature indicators of the unit.

[0083] Furthermore, operation optimization is carried out, unit safety operation analysis is performed, unit economic operation optimization is performed, and the priority operation sequence of the hydropower units is determined.

[0084] Furthermore, maintenance decisions are made, and screening decisions are made on the maintenance plans generated under fault conditions. Based on the results of equipment performance analysis and health analysis, risk assessment is conducted on the impact of equipment performance degradation and health status degradation, and maintenance decision recommendations are given.

[0085] Furthermore, the information visualization system with virtual reality display and video interaction provides the operators with the latest operating status characteristics of the unit, ensuring that production duty, maintenance personnel and relevant leaders can immediately receive accident-related information when an accident occurs.

[0086] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a hydropower unit fault diagnosis system based on digital twins, comprising:

[0090] The early warning module is used to use the three-dimensional twin model for simulation and accident inversion, combine the output of the fault diagnosis model, predict the operating trend of the hydropower unit equipment, and provide hydropower unit fault early warning based on the prediction results.

[0091] This embodiment also provides a computer device, which is suitable for the case of a hydropower unit fault diagnosis method based on digital twins, including a memory and a processor; the memory is used to store computer executable instructions, and the processor is used to execute computer executable instructions to implement the hydropower unit fault diagnosis method based on digital twins as proposed in the above embodiment.

[0092] The computer device may be a terminal, and the computer device includes a processor, a memory, a communication interface, a display screen and an input device connected via a system bus. The processor of the computer device is used to provide computing and control capabilities. The memory of the computer device includes a non-volatile storage medium and an internal memory. The non-volatile storage medium stores an operating system and a computer program. The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the operating system and the computer program in the non-volatile storage medium. The communication interface of the computer device is used to communicate with an external terminal in a wired or wireless manner, and the wireless manner can be achieved through WIFI, an operator network, NFC (near field communication) or other technologies. The display screen of the computer device may be a liquid crystal display screen or an electronic ink display screen, and the input device of the computer device may be a touch layer covering the display screen, or a key, trackball or touchpad provided on the housing of the computer device, or an external keyboard, touchpad or mouse, etc.

[0093] This embodiment also provides a storage medium on which a computer program is stored. When the program is executed by a processor, the method for diagnosing faults of hydropower units based on digital twins as proposed in the above embodiment is implemented.

[0094] Example 2

[0095] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment provides a hydropower unit fault diagnosis method based on digital twins. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.

[0096] Specifically, a six-month experiment was conducted at a large hydropower station. The hydropower station has an installed capacity of 1,200MW and a total of four 300MW hydropower generating units. The four units were continuously monitored and analyzed. The following table shows the key parameters and fault diagnosis results of one of the units at different time points;

[0097] Table 1 Experimental data of fault diagnosis of unit 1 of the hydro-turbine generator set

[0098]

[0099] Furthermore, from the data in Table 1, it can be seen that from time points T1 to T6, the comprehensive unbalance value showed a clear upward trend, increasing from 0.452 to 0.785, an increase of 73.7%. This indicates that the balance state of the unit is deteriorating and there may be potential faults. The temperature of the upper guide bearing increased from 62.3℃ to 75.6℃, an increase of 21.3%. The continuous increase in temperature may be related to the deterioration of the bearing lubrication condition or the increase in load, which requires attention.

[0100] Furthermore, the stator current increased from 8750A to 9010A, while the speed decreased from 136.4rpm to 133.9rpm. This change pattern may indicate an increase in unit load or a decrease in efficiency, which may be related to turbine blade wear or generator stator winding problems. The fault prediction value and the expert experience value show good consistency, and the difference between the two is always kept within 0.04. This proves the effectiveness of the machine learning model and expert experience fusion method in the present invention.

[0101] Furthermore, at time T3, the fault diagnosis result reached 0.27, exceeding the preset warning threshold of 0.25. This issued an early warning about 48 hours earlier than the traditional method, providing sufficient time for operation and maintenance personnel to take preventive measures.

[0102] Furthermore, at time T6, the fault diagnosis result reached 0.88, indicating that the unit was at a high risk of failure. Subsequent maintenance confirmed that the thrust bearing of the unit was severely worn, which was highly consistent with the diagnosis result.

[0103] Furthermore, by integrating the comprehensive imbalance, machine learning predictions, and expert experience, this method gives a higher failure risk assessment of 0.44 at time point T4, identifying potential problems earlier than relying solely on a single indicator such as comprehensive imbalance or temperature.
