Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automated monitoring technology, and in particular to a fire prevention monitoring method and system for old wind turbines based on wireless temperature measurement technology. Background Art

[0002] In the field of wind power generation, as the global demand for renewable energy increases, wind power generation technology is also constantly improving and developing. As the core component of the wind power generation system, the operation safety and maintenance efficiency of wind turbines have a vital impact on the overall power generation efficiency. Traditional wind turbine monitoring systems mainly rely on wired sensing technology for real-time monitoring of equipment status. However, old wind turbines often face many challenges due to design and technical limitations, including equipment aging, maintenance difficulties, and non-real-time monitoring data. Especially in terms of temperature monitoring, traditional methods are often difficult to accurately capture temperature anomalies of key components in real time due to complex wiring, inconvenient maintenance, and data delays, making it impossible to prevent and deal with potential safety hazards in a timely manner.

[0003] With the development of wireless sensor technology and data encryption technology, new solutions have been provided for the safety monitoring of old wind turbines. Although existing technologies have made certain progress in wireless monitoring and data transmission security, there are still deficiencies in practical applications. For example, existing monitoring systems often cannot effectively integrate and analyze the collected data, resulting in the inability to accurately determine the abnormal status of the equipment. At the same time, there is also a lack of effective predictive maintenance mechanisms to optimize the operation and maintenance plans of the equipment. In addition, the existing system still has room for improvement in data security protection, especially in the data encryption and verification mechanisms during wireless transmission, to prevent data from being tampered with or leaked during transmission.

[0004] In response to the above problems, our invention provides a fire prevention monitoring method for old wind turbines based on wireless temperature measurement technology. This method collects temperature and current data in real time through wireless sensors, and uses advanced AES encryption technology to ensure the security of data during transmission. By establishing a normal temperature range model and combining it with current data for comprehensive analysis, the system can more accurately identify abnormal conditions of the equipment and achieve early warning. In addition, the preprocessing module in our invention can effectively process and correct errors and omissions in the data to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the data. These improvements not only improve the efficiency and reliability of the monitoring system, but also provide strong technical support for the safe operation and maintenance of wind turbines. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is proposed.

[0006] Therefore, the technical problem solved by the present invention is: how to monitor the temperature and current anomalies of old wind turbines in real time and accurately during operation to prevent the risk of fire caused by equipment overheating or current anomalies. In particular, the present invention aims to solve the problems of non-real-time data collection, insufficient monitoring system integration and analysis capabilities, and insufficient security protection during data transmission in the prior art.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a fire prevention monitoring method for old wind turbines based on wireless temperature measurement technology, which comprises the following steps:

[0008] Collect temperature data and transmit it to the central monitoring system; build a normal temperature range model; perform anomaly detection and alarm based on the normal temperature range model; and intervene based on the alarm information.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the fire prevention monitoring method for old wind turbines based on wireless temperature measurement technology described in the present invention, the temperature data is encrypted when transmitted to the central monitoring system.

[0010] The transmission to the central monitoring system is then pre-processed.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the fire prevention monitoring method for old wind turbines based on wireless temperature measurement technology described in the present invention, the encryption includes generating an AES key through a central management system and distributing it to sensor nodes. After the sensor collects the temperature data, it immediately uses the pre-assigned AES key to encrypt it. A MAC is generated during the encryption operation. After the encryption is completed, the MAC and the encrypted temperature data are sent to the central monitoring system. After the central monitoring system receives the data, it uses the same AES key to decrypt it and calculate the received MAC. If the calculated MAC matches the generated MAC, it means that the temperature data has not been modified.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the old wind turbine fire prevention monitoring method based on wireless temperature measurement technology described in the present invention, the preprocessing includes checking whether the decrypted temperature data meets expectations, whether the temperature data contains a timestamp and whether it is continuous.

[0013] If the timestamp format is incorrect, it will be corrected according to the predetermined format and synchronized with the standard time source to automatically correct the time deviation.

[0014] If there are missing data points, interpolation methods are used to estimate the missing values.

[0017] If combination mode A is triggered, it indicates that a secondary anomaly exists.

[0018] If combination mode B is triggered, it indicates that a high-level anomaly exists.

[0019] The combination mode A includes that the temperature exceeds the first threshold and is less than or equal to the second threshold, and the current rises to exceed the limit value within a limited time. In the process of the temperature rising to exceed the limit value, continuous measurement points are set. If the temperature continues to rise during the measurement, it is combination mode A.

[0020] The combination mode B includes that the temperature or the current exceeds the preset three-level threshold value alone.

[0021] The abnormality detection and alarming also include automatically adjusting the alarm thresholds of temperature and current using an adaptive learning algorithm.

[0022] As a preferred solution of the fire prevention monitoring method for old wind turbines based on wireless temperature measurement technology described in the present invention, the intervention based on the alarm information includes, when the primary abnormality is triggered, recording the equipment data where the abnormality occurs, increasing the monitoring frequency of related equipment, and conducting on-site confirmation by personnel.

[0023] When the secondary abnormality is triggered, technicians are arranged to conduct inspections, evaluate the operating status and safety status of the equipment, and adjust the load according to the specific status of the equipment.

[0024] When the advanced abnormality is triggered, the emergency shutdown procedure is immediately executed. After the emergency shutdown, the equipment is inspected and maintained to check whether there are damaged parts that need to be replaced, whether there are signs of internal short circuits or overheating, and a detailed safety assessment is performed. After confirming that the equipment is safe, the system is reset and restarted to monitor the process of the equipment returning to normal operating status.

[0027] The data acquisition module is responsible for collecting the temperature data of the wind turbine.

[0028] The data transmission and encryption module is responsible for defining the format and protocol of data transmission, using AES encryption and MAC verification.

[0029] The data analysis and model building module builds a model of normal operating temperature based on historical temperature data and defines alarm thresholds of different levels.

[0030] The alarm and intervention module automatically or manually implements intervention measures according to the alarm level.

[0031] A computer device includes a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the processor executes the computer program, the steps of the fire prevention monitoring method for old wind turbines based on wireless temperature measurement technology are implemented as described above.

[0037] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Example 1, reference Figure 1 , is an embodiment of the present invention, and provides a fire prevention monitoring method for old wind turbines based on wireless temperature measurement technology, which is characterized by:

[0039] S1: Collect temperature data and transmit it to the central monitoring system.

[0040] The temperature data is encrypted when transmitted to the central monitoring system.

[0041] After being transmitted to the central monitoring system, it is pre-processed.

[0042] The encryption process includes generating an AES key through the central management system and distributing it to the sensor nodes. After the sensor collects the temperature data, it immediately encrypts it using the pre-assigned AES key. A MAC is generated during the encryption operation. After the encryption is completed, the MAC and the encrypted temperature data are sent to the central monitoring system. After the central monitoring system receives the data, it uses the same AES key to decrypt it and calculate the received MAC. If the calculated MAC matches the generated MAC, it means that the temperature data has not been modified.

[0043] The preprocessing includes checking whether the decrypted temperature data is consistent with expectations, including whether the temperature data contains a timestamp and whether it is continuous.

[0044] If the timestamp format is incorrect, it will be corrected according to the predetermined format and synchronized with the standard time source to automatically correct the time deviation.

[0045] If there are missing data points, interpolation methods are used to estimate the missing values.

[0048] S3: Anomaly detection and alarm based on the normal temperature range model.

[0049] Abnormal detection and alarm include real-time monitoring of temperature data and current data, and comparing the temperature data with a preset threshold in a normal temperature range model. If the temperature data and the current data individually exceed a preset first-level threshold, it indicates a primary abnormality.

[0050] If combination mode A is triggered, it indicates that a secondary anomaly exists.

[0051] If combination mode B is triggered, it indicates that a high-level anomaly exists.

[0052] Combination mode A includes that the temperature exceeds the first threshold and is less than or equal to the second threshold, and the current rises to exceed the limit value within a limited time. In the process of the temperature rising to exceed the limit value, continuous measurement points are set. If it continues to rise within the measurement, it is combination mode A.

[0053] Combination mode B includes that the temperature or current exceeds the preset three-level threshold value alone.

[0054] Anomaly detection and alerting also includes automatically adjusting alarm thresholds for temperature and current using adaptive learning algorithms.

[0055] S4: Intervene based on the alarm information.

[0056] Intervention based on alarm information includes recording the data of the equipment where the abnormality occurred, increasing the monitoring frequency of related equipment, and conducting on-site confirmation by personnel when the primary abnormality is triggered.

[0057] When a secondary abnormality is triggered, technicians are arranged to conduct inspections, evaluate the operating status and safety status of the equipment, and adjust the load according to the specific status of the equipment.

[0058] When a high-level abnormality is triggered, the emergency shutdown procedure is immediately executed. After the emergency shutdown, the equipment is inspected and maintained to check whether there are damaged parts that need to be replaced, whether there are signs of internal short circuits or overheating, and a detailed safety assessment is performed. After confirming that the equipment is safe, the system is reset and restarted, and the process of the equipment returning to normal operating status is monitored.

[0060] The data acquisition module 100 is responsible for collecting the temperature data of the wind turbine.

[0061] The data transmission and encryption module 200 is responsible for defining the format and protocol of data transmission, using AES encryption and MAC authentication.

[0062] The data analysis and model building module 300 builds a model of normal operating temperature based on historical temperature data and defines alarm thresholds of different levels.

[0063] The alarm and intervention module 400 automatically or manually implements intervention measures based on the alarm level.
