[0030] Furthermore, cloud computing and cloud services do not require huge investments in building supercomputing centers, but can provide the large amount of computing power required by the system through cloud computing; the use of cloud services can serve users in different regions and allow staff to remotely monitor the operation of the system in real time.
[0031] Embodiment 2: The physical layer of the turbine generator set includes the excitation system, hydraulic system, energy system, control system, auxiliary system, electrical system, propulsion system, power generation system, as well as the shaft, volute, blades, etc. Figure 2 shown.
[0032] The digital twin system is used to detect real-time faults in the hydro-turbine generator set, including turbine faults, generator electrical system faults, and shaft system faults.
[0033] The real-time operating condition data and real-time status monitoring data of the key components of the hydro-generator are collected through the data acquisition module, signal processing module, control module and communication module distributed on the physical layer of the hydro-generator, including vibration noise, deformation, temperature, magnetic flux, pressure, speed, voltage, current, power, flow, displacement and gas in oil. Using multiple monitoring methods, the dynamic data monitored are statistically summarized to specifically characterize the evolution of faults, and then transmitted to the digital twin space, that is, its next digital twin model layer and the intelligent operation and maintenance platform of the hydro-generator set responsible for the overall control system; sensor systems such as Figure 3 shown.
[0034] The digital twin model refers to a virtual model that characterizes the normal and faulty behaviors of a system. In terms of status monitoring and diagnosis, the abnormal fault status of system components has become the focus of attention. The fault behavior model is a digital projection of the system fault behavior in virtual space, which can establish a mapping relationship between the state and fault under the fault behavior. Virtual simulation based on the fault behavior model can generate fault data under various fault modes, providing more complete data support for the diagnosis of the status monitoring of the hydropower system.
[0035] Digital twin model layers such as Figure 4As shown. The data interaction interface uses OPCUA as the main data interaction protocol to ensure efficient, real-time, safe and reliable data interaction. The data monitored by the sensor is uploaded to the digital twin model layer efficiently and accurately. The intelligent operation and maintenance platform of the hydro-turbine generator set performs regulation and uses the data collected by the sensor as the boundary conditions of the system simulation to establish a visual multi-physics coupling simulation model, including finite element models and mechanism models under normal and faulty systems; based on the constructed high-fidelity physical model, combined with real-time sensor information, a high-fidelity lightweight proxy model is constructed through machine learning algorithms, which can realize the functions of processing massive data, responding to real-time changes, and reducing computing resource consumption. The finite element model includes: electromagnetic model, thermal model, structural model and fluid dynamic model. In addition, the digital twin model layer needs to interact with the intelligent operation and maintenance platform, receive its control signals and generate the required models, and transmit the generated models to the twin data processing layer or upload them to the intelligent operation and maintenance platform.
[0036] The twin data layer is a bridge between the physical layer of the hydro-turbine generator system and the digital twin model layer, covering the physical data of the system entity, simulation data (consisting of normal and fault simulation data), digital twin application data, and the fusion and derivative data between them. The bridging method between the system entity and the digital twin model is implemented according to the virtual interaction and collaboration mechanism. The main function is to realize real-time, two-way interaction between the virtual model and the system entity layer; the twin data processing layer is as follows: Figure 5 shown.
[0037] Based on the virtual-real interaction and collaboration mechanism of data fusion, the virtual model is a true expression of the system entity, so the digital twin can grasp the operating status of the system. Moreover, under the hierarchical digital twin architecture, there is a point-to-point correspondence between the virtual model and the system entity. Therefore, the digital twin can not only grasp the sensor signals perceived by the outside world, but also gain insight into the information of the internal components of the system to achieve more comprehensive operating status monitoring. The virtual generator set model collects physical data from the system entity in real time to verify whether the simulation model is accurate, and adjusts the boundary conditions and algorithm parameters to adjust the simulation model based on this goal. At the same time, it can intervene or adjust the hydropower generator set system entity based on the early warning information from the virtual model.
[0038] Monitor the interaction and overall performance of all models, monitor and analyze the real-time operating status of the physical layer of the hydro-generator and the simulation model, diagnose the system faults by using the fault detection algorithm and intelligent diagnosis algorithm in the algorithm library combined with expert experience and intelligent analysis and evaluation methods, and give relevant instructions for decision-making execution, including active protection of the unit protection device and troubleshooting of operators and maintenance personnel, and upload the diagnosis results to the intelligent operation and maintenance platform of the hydro-generator unit. The operation and maintenance personnel can use the diagnosis results to physically troubleshoot and repair the system faults. The accuracy of information transmission from the generation of the fault to the data twin layer and the accuracy of the analysis and evaluation data will be transmitted to the management department to further correct and improve the digital twin. See the digital twin decision layer model. Figure 6 .
[0039] Realize data interaction and regulation of various parts of the system, integrate data from different sources to form a unified and coordinated view, simplify data access, and reduce the complexity of interaction between systems. Specifically, it includes real-time reception and storage of data transmitted by various parts of the system, including sensor data, established simulation models and mechanism models, and fault monitoring data, etc., and combines historical performance data to process the data through intelligent analysis and evaluation methods, and then classify the information and send it to various parts of the system, including decision instructions of the digital twin decision layer, early warning information of the twin data processing layer, and data collected by the sensor system; use intelligent algorithms to optimize decisions to determine existing operating conditions and operating monitoring data, and clarify the scope and characteristics of the conditions and monitoring data that need to be added. See the intelligent operation and maintenance platform for hydropower generator sets. Figure 7 shown.
[0040] In this digital twin system of hydroelectric generator sets, the traditional computing center is not used to provide computing power support for the system, but cloud computing is used to provide computing power support for it, which saves the huge investment required to establish a computing center and provides deeper computing power; in addition, users can flexibly increase or decrease computing resources such as processing power, storage space and bandwidth according to their needs to meet different business needs. Cloud services usually have a wide coverage, allowing system staff to monitor the operation status of the system in real time in different places.

[0043] Step 2: Based on cloud computing services, the OPCUA protocol data interaction interface is used to efficiently and accurately upload the data monitored by the sensors to the digital twin model layer. The intelligent operation and maintenance platform of the hydro-turbine generator set is regulated and the data collected by the sensors is used as the boundary conditions of the system simulation to establish a visual multi-physics coupling simulation model, including finite element models and mechanism models under normal and faulty systems, and compared with the finite element models and mechanism models in the system database. Secondly, based on the constructed high-fidelity physical model, a high-fidelity lightweight proxy model is constructed through a machine learning algorithm in combination with real-time sensor information.

Through high-performance computing power, multi-physics field simulation and boundary models including electromagnetic-thermal coupling model, thermal-structural coupling model and structural-fluid coupling model are established, and the real-time model and theoretical model in the database are compared to optimize and adjust the existing model. Through virtual interaction and collaboration mechanism, the intelligent operation and maintenance platform of the hydro-turbine generator set realizes real-time, two-way interaction between the virtual model and the system entity layer. The correctness of the system simulation is verified through the real-time collected system operation data, and the boundary conditions and algorithm parameters are optimized to adjust the simulation model. At the same time, the hydro-turbine generator set system entity can be intervened or adjusted based on the early warning information from the virtual model.
[0045] Step 4: Based on cloud computing services, the digital twin decision layer monitors the interaction and overall performance of all models. The virtual generator set model collects physical data from system entities in real time to verify whether the simulation model is accurate, and adjusts the simulation model by optimizing boundary conditions and algorithm parameters.
